Until next week everyone (or Wednesday evening with #TheNoirCollective): have a good one and stay safe. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

In a very real way #AceInTheHole is pitch black noir. One of defining images of classic film folks. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

Hey, one of those guys is Lewis Martain - the doomed pastor from "War Of The Worlds" (1953) #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

The circus is leaving town ,,, ... and so is Lorraine. That is cold honey. Ice cold. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

... and the only this this situation was missing was a musical act. SOLVED! BTW: The Sheriff helps create a crisis and is now campaigning on it. Sound familiar? #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

So, Tatum is sucking up to the Sheriff in order to maintain his "control" of the situation. ... the current political analogy that is so obvious that it's painful. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

"Gunfights and killing. It makes them thirsty. Soon they'll be rolling in here for drinks!" - The saloon keeper in "Last Train From Gun Hill" , but equally appropriate here. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

"16 hours? Maybe 12 hours." Tatum: Make it longer. Much longer! BTW: Lorraine is also really good at ringing up that money. Classic noir line: "I met a lot of hard-boiled eggs in my life, but you - you're twenty minutes." #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

The circus ("carnival") has arrived. Anybody check on poor Leo? Anybody? 🤣 This is probably where the expression "selling tickets" comes from! #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

As everyone can see Lorraine is really invested in her husband's dire situation. 🙄 See wants OUT! #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

Jan Sterling (1921-2004) appreciation post. While not profiled in the original book, she was added to last year's version of Eddie Muller's "Dark City Dames" She had quite the life and career. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

Hall of Fame catcher! How can the town's people not have heard of him by 1951? BTW: I highly recommend baseball fans visit The Yogi Berra Museum. “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” - Yogi #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

Town's folks at the end of the film: 🎵 met you, girl, you didn't have no shoes Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news You've been awful, careful 'bout the friends you choose But, you won't have my name in your book of who's who Not your steppin' stone 🎵 #TCMParty #AceInTheHole

I guess Porter Hall left Medford, Oregon. 🤣 "I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders." #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

"Great freedom you have here in the US. You better not blow it!" Well, Mr. Billy Wilder you may want to avert your eyes from the current world. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

Director Spike Lee is clearly a fan of this film and Billy Wilder. (From 2007 via Criterion). #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley www.youtube.com/watch?v=nynh...

Good morning fellow film noir fans. Anybody fancy a classic (noir/not noir)? Good. You’ve come to the right place! While not a box office hit, this film still packs a punch 75 years later. #TCMParty #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley

Decision made. Maybe Faith Domergue will have better luck on the planet Metaluna. #TCMParty #WhereDangerLives

#WhereDangerLives was one of the first noirs I recall seeing, yet every time I see it, I immediately want to watch Faith Domergue in one of her *other* and more well-known film roles. 🤓 ... firing up the DVD player in 5,4,3 .... 🤣 #TCMParty

dwayneadd.bsky.social @dwayneadd.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

As they did for the first three weeks of TCM's Kubrick retrospective, the New York Daily News has highlighted tonight's final. "[each of the directors' final 3 films] explore the darker complexities of the human mind..." Sadly, I will be AWOL (too tired 😩), but enjoy! #TCMParty #TheShining

Helen for the SAVE! This is where I came in earlier tonight so I must call it a day - sadly as this is about as gritty a noir as you'll ever see. Thanks again to @tommykrasker.bsky.social for hosting. #TheNoirCollective #FrightClub #KansasCityConfidential

Lee Van Cleef (Tony) and Dona Drake (Teresa) make a nice couple. #TheNoirCollective #KansasCityConfidential

Question for @tommykrasker.bsky.social - the getaway footage of the police cars looked like it was taken from "Gun Crazy." Stock footage? #TheNoirCollective #KansasCityConfidential

dwayneadd.bsky.social @dwayneadd.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

This opening (the recruitment of the muscle) reminds me of "The Thomas Crown Affair" (1968). No one knows the identity of the head guy. #TheNoirCollective #KansasCityConfidential

Back in 15 minutes for the repeat. However, I may have to cut it short tonight. #TheNoirCollective #KansasCityConfidential

Going back and forth between #KansasCityConfidential and Chuck Jones cartoons is giving me whiplash. #TheNoirCollective.

Trying to play catch up on tonight's film. The hoods of noir may sweat but they dress really nice and have great penmanship. #TheNoirCollective #KansasCityConfidential

@tcmtv.bsky.social usually has cartoons on Saturday mornings at 11:30am (ET), while METV (in the US) broadcasts them starting at 8:00am. They also have a show called "Toon In With Me" every morning from 7:00am to 8:00am (ET). #TCMParty #ChuckAmuk #ChuckJones

There are several documentaries on the WB Cartoon DVD sets. Highly recommended. #TCMParty #ChuckAmuk #ChuckJones

"The Hunting Trilogy" will never NOT be funny. "... ah, pronoun trouble!" 🤣 #TCMParty #ChuckAmuk #ChuckJones

Great point by Jerry Beck: these cartoons were aimed at all ages and were played before feature films long before they became afterschool/Saturday morning fare. #TCMParty #ChuckAmuk #ChuckJones

Here for tonight's celebration of Chuck Jones - IMO one of the major creative figures of the 20th Century. #TCMParty #ChuckAmuk #ChuckJones

#TheLongNight was a new one for me and I really enjoyed it. I have to look into the availability of "Le jour se lève" (1939) as it would make for a nice double feature someday. Until next week: make it a good one fellow noir fans and stay safe. #TCMParty #NoirAlley
