Jan Sterling was indeed robbed! See you all next week for a movie I've never seen before! #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

I can see why people disliked #AceInTheHole. In Sunset Boulevard, Norma Desmond is somewhat sympathetic. Chuck Tatum is not, at all. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

If it's a Kirk Douglas movie, there's got to be a scene where he fights somebody while shirtless. #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Leo's situation is reminding me of the Thai boys trapped in the cave from a few years back. Chuck Tatum has just as much concern for Leo as Elon Musk did for those kids. #AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Made it just in time for #AceInTheHole. Looking forward to seeing Jan Sterling, a bit of a forgotten actress who I like. #NoirAlley #TCMParty

This is destroying health insurance by pretending that there is some kind of non-existent corruption going on. Or it's complete idiocy. Take your pick.

#TheLongNight deserved better than it got from critics or viewers. Moody and beautifully filmed, with great performances. See you all next week! #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Even Barbara Stanwyck wasn't powerful enough to get scripts where she didn't have to sit through a condescending speech about not being a hysterical woman. Sigh. #TCMParty #NoirAlley #Jeopardy

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

A bunch of cops cheering at a political rally — in uniform — as the president and AG endorse a candidate and attack their political opponents is not normal. And it is not okay.

I love it when there's enough plot for ten movies at the price of one. Plus music and montages! That was fun, if a bit over-caffeinated. See y'all next time! #TCMParty #NoirAlley #BluesInTheNight

This is a great story about Marilyn Monroe the person, and I will definitely think of this when I see the inevitable "Marilyn was a widdle bunny rabbit"/"Marilyn was a psycho mantrap" takes for her 100th birthday this month.
