Frankly, I think Streisand gave this project a lot more than it deserved, even though she knew FUNNY LADY was an inferior sequel. She could have phoned it in, but she didn’t. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Throughout the production of FUNNY LADY, the gossip columns were chock-full of reports about Babzilla tantrums (probably provided by Ray Stark). But who could blame her? It was a court-ordered movie. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

If you thought FUNNY GIRL took liberties with the facts about Fanny Brice’s story, wait until you see how Baby Snooks was secretly a chic and stylish glamourpuss… #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

The scariest thing about EXORCIST II is Louise Fletcher’s utterly wooden performance. She’s a terrific actress — and here, it’s like she can barely read her lines. My guess is she just threw in the towel. #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Feeling quite miffed that none of my therapists ever came to see any of my shows. Is that supposed to be their responsibility? Grrrr… #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

2/2 It became quite hilarious, listening to the complaints and watching guests demanding their money back. We started counting how many times we heard, “It’s the worst movie I’ve ever seen!” #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

1/2 My family and I were awaiting a late show of STAR WARS in 1977. EXORCIST II was playing on the other screen. People walked out of EXORCIST in droves. Many warned us, “If you’re going to EXORCIST, get your money back!” #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

@simonsaybrams.bsky.social Also, this poster is in my living room. I love that movie, and got a chance to screen the AGFA print of it when I was at Alamo Drafthouse a few years ago. Did you know it got a paperback novelization?

This guy and his weepy wife conned my poor grandmother out of tens of thousands of dollars. She thought they were servants of the Lord, doing God’s work. Pardon me if I don’t have any tears to shed.

I had a boss who used to make cracks about “bankers’ hours” every time we tried to leave early. Now, I understand: banks that were open from 10 to 3? We had longer hours by the time I was a bank teller! #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmfans.bsky.social

Further evidence why you shouldn’t trust AI: I was looking up info on this CHARLIE’S ANGELS episode I was watching. It was actually the fifth episode of the 1st season, and this is the plot line from an episode from Season Four, ANGELS AT THE ALTAR. Spreading misinformation, as AI so often does.

Wow, ACROSS THE WIDE MISSOURI has all the earmarks of a “problem picture”: cut almost everything that’s not action or comedy, lay on thick narration to cover the cuts, etc. But it’s very pretty. @tcmfans.bsky.social @tcmparty.bsky.social @tcmtv.bsky.social #tcmparty @tcmtv.bsky.social
