Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026"Did you just pee on the rug?" Maybe. "The very rug you're sitting on right now?" It's raining outside. My penis is delicate and averse to water. "Do you not feel even one twinge of guilt?" Me? Are you kidding? It's like I've been living with a stranger for the last 11 years. 130

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 02/10/2026If I recall correctly, a key definitional component of camp is that it can't *know* it's camp. But I suspect that Crawford read the script and understood the over-the-top approach that had to be taken with her character. It's only entertaining if it's played as a parody. #QueenBee #TCMParty 1120

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Still slowly unpacking from the move and putting things in their proper place. Penis Pokey as backdrop to a scale model of the Now Voyager Buick station wagon. I’m beginning to suspect that at least one of my bookshelves might be one of those homosexuals I’ve been hearing so much about lately. 160

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Paperless billing is cool... until you move to another state and need to prove your residence for such reasonably important things as registering to vote and getting a new driver's license. 030

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Just gonna say this once, hash-tag-free, and get on with my life. Film directors who are hardcore fetishists are not my favorite type of film directors. I do not enjoy movies that feel hermetically sealed and overdetermined. They make me itch. 361
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 16/09/2026As of twos days ago, I am, once again, a Chicagoan. But for the fascists, I likely would've retired in DC, a beautiful city I'd come to love. And yet I'm happy to return to a city that still feels like home to me, even after a 13-year absence. Which one of u somsabitches is gonna bake me a cake? 5160
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Who's your daddy? The only mildly amusing thing about moving is that it's rather like conducting an archeological dig into your own past. The dude from College Hunks unearthed this old portrait from IML today. "Uh, do you want to keep this, sir?" "Yes, but only because you called me sir." 350
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Last night I dreamt that a shirtless Ricardo Montalbon—in jodhpurs!—was getting massaged by another man. The other man turned out to be Red Skelton. I shall never dare to dream again. #TCMParty #NeptunesDaughter 4121
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Both my parents were born in homes with no indoor plumbing or electricity. My mom's family didn't have electricity until she was 11 years old, in 1946. Mom didn't live in a home with indoor plumbing until she married my dad and moved to town, in 1955. Behold the Illinois tenant farming system. 040

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 28/08/2026I worship All About Eve, but how I wish it included a brief scene in which we see Karen Richards sucking gas out of that Mercury's tank like a pro. #TCMParty #AllAboutEve 2221

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026My dreams are typically populated with dead or otherwise lost relatives, friends, and pets. Once, however, I dreamt that the then-alive Katharine Hepburn had died. She died the next day. I've worried about the auguring powers of my dreams ever since. #TCMParty #SuddenlyLastSummer 2120
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I remember very little from my "vacation" at the state asylum. But I do remember wandering the halls and thinking, "Does this dress make me look too bosomy?" #TCMParty #SuddenlyLastSummer 2100
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026The thing I like most about Suddenly, Last Summer is that it's not Raintree County. #TCMParty #SuddenlyLastSummer 2120
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I wish that TCM would stop reinforcing the notion that Hepburn and Tracy's relationship was one of the great OH love affairs. No doubt they clicked, on screen and off, and that she was committed to keeping her troubled dear friend alive. But there are many types of love in this world. #TCMParty 2100
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 24/08/2026A Main Line socialite's frigidity turns her husband into an alcoholic and compels her father to abandon her mother for a chorus girl. I like this movie, but on a basic level, it doesn't make sense to me, for reasons having little to do with changing mores. #TCMParty #ThePhiladelphiaStory 280

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Every time John Dehner shows up on my TV screen, I'm like, "Helllloooo Daddy!" Which is mildly embarrassing, given that I'm in my early 60s. #TCMParty #CriticsChoice 250
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 20/08/2026The day I join the TCM Wine Club is the day it introduces the Esther Howard Pinot Noir (a 30-day prescription of penicillin included with every bottle). #TCMParty 5162
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Gone with the Wind launched the snood craze of the early 40s. (WWII helped a bit, too.) What's stopping you from launching a snood craze of your own? Get busy, snoodphiles. #GoneWithTheWind #TCMParty 170
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 19/08/2026*whispers* Out of Africa is my favorite Meryl Streep performance. #TCMParty 1160
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 19/08/2026My favorite sequence in Out of the Great Waldo Africa is when Robert Redford takes Meryl Streep and Susan Sarandon up for a spin in his bi-plane and things don't end well for Susan and Meryl is like, "Oh, but look at the lovely vistas!" #OutOfAfrica #TCMParty 2120

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: "Hi, I'm my sociopathic older sister who lured my toddler-aged twin brother and me onto the porch roof outside our nursery window and then locked the nursery's door from the inside to thwart our mother's attempts to rescue us." RIP, Twisted Cyster. 360
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 15/08/2026The thing is, up until the mugging and kidnapping sequence, #TheOutOfTowners does a pretty good job of realistically portraying the evergreen horrors of traveling in the US. Or just traveling in general. I LOVED traveling when I was young(er). The love fades. #TCMParty 150
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 14/08/2026You will never find her picture next to "Subtle" or "Understated" in the fully illustrated version of Merriam-Webster. But, oh my, she was a helluva lotta fun. #TCMParty #BackStreet #SUTS 150
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I'd never noticed until now how very, very thin the lovely Virginia Grey was. Not a criticism or veiled diagnosis.

Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 14/08/2026One wonders: Did Susan Hayward give co-star Vera Miles tips on how to play a drunk harpy on film? Seriously, this is, like, one of three films in today's lineup in which Hayward doesn't get soused. #TCMParty #BackStreet #SUTS 180
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Lillian Roth: What an absolute delight in any film she shows up in, be it #AnimalCrackers or #LadiesTheyTalkAbout. I'd give my eyeteeth or even a testicle to listen to a bootleg recording of late-career, cabaret-artist Roth imitating Susan Hayward imitating Roth in #I'llCryTomorrow. #TCMParty 190
Lord Byron Bunch @lordbyronbunch.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Odd. I'll turn on my TV for the delight of watching Claudette Colbert do anything—nun drag, open an envelope, read the phone book. But I don't think I've ever named her as one of my favorite classic film actresses. Clearly, I need to have a talk with myself. #TheNoirCollective #ThunderOnTheHill 0110
