Watching a classic movie and getting a little thirsty? Mostly m/cocktail recipes and history - also jazz and maybe some dogs. Will follow all who #tcmparty (not affiliated with TCM - just a fan.) We sip to savor - drink sparingly please.

Just an FYI...

I find it tragic & sinful, that my nation today which has the capacity to protect and save life are instead taking swift, rash, and devastating actions to withhold resources from those most in need for ideological purposes. Millions of people will literally die. susanandstjoseph.com/2025/03/03/l...

I was feeling the Monday blues... until I checked in on Jackie and Shadow and... there's a pip!!!!!!! imgur.com/a/8yFzbji

Congratulations to my daughter on winning the Oscar for Flow.

"It will all be over in a minute." Great last line! #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

Interesting discussion re: the meaning of "leffing" forum.thefreedictionary.com/postst42526_... #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

I do love Cornelia's dress here - you could wear that anywhere today... #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

Powell plays the functional drunk perfectly in this scene! #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

"filling the void left by your late, lamented pomeranian... #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

Jean Dixon is the (not so) hidden gem in this movie! #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

1011 Fifth Avenue is still super tony real estate in NYC! #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

Fun stuff on Lombard's gown (with a shoutout to TCM fans!) carole-and-co.livejournal.com/880470.html #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

"I have a goat!" and thus we have the crossover to Severance... #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

These opening credits always make me so happy! #TCMParty #MyManGodfrey

In just about three hours (at 8pE) we're starting our watch-party for MY MAN GODFREY (1936), one of the funniest and most touching screwball comedies from the 30s. I'll be laughing at all of Jean Dixon's (the maid) wisecracks. #TCMParty ^JW

So husband just took off on an AA flight and said there was so safety briefing. Has that been the latest FAA cut??

I never understood the big deal about #CitizenKane until I listened to Roger Ebert's commentary. Brilliant description of why Citizen Kane is indeed a masterpiece... I think it's on the Criterion edition... #TCMParty Here's a taste of it... www.rogerebert.com/reviews/grea...

I 💕 the #TheLetter - Bette Davis & gin slings! Yes, it's early in the day but anything w/ oj counts as a brunch drink, right? Singapore Sling ½ oz orange juice ½ oz lemon juice ½ oz dry curaçao ½ oz Cherry Herring 1½ oz gin Shake, strain over rocks in tall glass, add splash of soda. #TCMParty

Vermonters take no prisoners.

All-time great Barbara Stanwyck is the #TCM #StarOfTheMonth for March. Every Wednesday!

If #DrZhivago is making you want to down some vodka, may I suggest a Ukranian one? Nemiroff, Khor, and Staritsky Levitsky are popular options (just learned that some Ukranians call what we call vodka "horilka" meaning "to burn.") #TCMParty

What is a strawberry phosphate? Phosphates were a kind of soda fountain drink popular before bottling became a thing. Acid Phosphate adds a tart edge like citrus but flavorless so you can add it to dairy, choc. or strawberry. My fav is Horsford from the Extinct Chemical Company. #MusicMan #TCMParty

Remembering just a month ago when this man, in the middle of fighting a war, offered to send help to us here in LA. www.cbsnews.com/losangeles/n...

The arc of history is too damn long.

Answer to Vance: Zelenskyy has thanked our country over and over again both privately and publicly. And our country thanks HIM and the Ukrainian patriots who have stood up to a dictator, buried their own & stopped Putin from marching right into the rest of Europe. Shame on you.

Get ready for #Suspicion on TCM!! They say Hitchcock put a small light bulb in the glass to get that eerie effect (but I can't see how he would've wired it...) Toxic Glowing Milk 7 oz milk 1 oz honey 1 tsp vanilla dash cinnamon Warm all in small saucepan (or microwave at low power) #TCMParty

Your outie uses chopsticks like an animal #Severance

For #AllThePresidentsMen tonite TCM - Nixon's drink from his fav DC bar, Trader Vic's. No, not the Suffering Bastard - the NAVY GROG 1 oz Light Rum 1 oz Demerara Rum 1 oz Dark Rum ¼ oz Demerara syrup ¼ Allspice dram ¾ oz lime juice ¾ oz grapefruit juice Shake, strain over crushed ice. #TCMParty

Here are my 5 bullets of what I accomplished last week: -Put 25 pocket size US Constitutions in my #FreeLittleLibrary -Watched the Hazel Scott doc, struck anew by her brilliance and strength -Reupped my #Laist sub (cancelled #LATimes) -Paid my 2024 taxes (unlike most billionaires) -Drank some

Yesterday // Today Yesterday, I asked if THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MISS SCOTT (2025) could be included in Miss Hazel Scott's film credits on Letterboxd as other AMERICAN MASTERS docs are for other artists I've seen ... THE DISAPPEARANCE OF MISS SCOTT is now included.

If you're a jazz or classical movie love, the PBS doc The Disappearance of Miss Scott is must, must, must, must watch. If you're interested in other things, its just a must, must, must watch. www.pbs.org/wnet/america... #TCMParty #HazelScott #JazzPiano

He’s a speed bump in your doom scrolling. There’s still wonderful things in the world. Take the moments to enjoy them.

Except for #Stagecoach, same.
