@Benny_Profane_ Has the best ever introduction of Cagney in the shot just before this too. Wellman was in a different league with his early sound pictures.

Tonight I watched JFK at @TexasTheatre , where Oswald was arrested, sitting next to Oliver Stone, and we we were behind the seat that Oswald sat in. When Oswald stood up in the movie, the 1963 cops seemed to be yelling at us. Number one moviegoing experience of my life.

@garbo__talks I did not know Stahl was initially attached to it! Preminger did fine but my goodness, you're so right.

As a society we need to do two things: outright reject AI “art” (it can hurt literally everyone and only benefits billionaires) and ruthlessly SHAME AND SHUN people who take/post photos of other people just minding their business to make fun of them.

Every great artist left behind iconic works of art that have lived long after their death. Each of these artworks is a final masterpiece from masters of different art movements who kept creating until the very end.

Goodbye Terence Davies, a true auteur and a beautiful man.

One more but it’s five movies

[Shane @sbliss89]

Here’s four, for a start.

@k_trendacosta @DaveMetzger It’s funny the tech bros bought into film/tv which has been one of the only industries to thrive for over a century: through a Great Depression, wars, innovation, social/political unrest but decided to dig up & destroy the foundation then act like they’re the victims.

What's fascinating is everything that silicon valley and billionares have touched is kind of imploding all at once
Movies
Streaming
Social Media.
The general concept of work itself
Submarines.

[MZS @mattzollerseitz]

People have been taught to “consume” things that are given to them immediately and often that were produced under exploitative circumstances — and they also hate the artist who made them for calling them art and insisting they have intrinsic value apart from being “property.”

@sbliss89 Wrote my master’s thesis on her and studio system. Couldn’t have done that without bingeing her movies when she was star of the month in January 2022. #SaveTCM

[Shane @sbliss89]

I’ve noticed a LOT of replies saying they wouldn’t have known Kay Francis without TCM. She is a perfect example of a great star who you just wouldn’t see without this channel. #SaveTCM

[MZS @mattzollerseitz]

The systematic dismantling and extermination of the "art" part of cinema, music & TV, by corporations deleting finished movies for tax write-offs & training AI to regurgitate grotesqueries after scraping real artists' work without consent or payment: yikes, this is bad, folks.

[Pappy Pillé @keithpille]

LRT I dunno some of us have been complaining for decades (and there were lots of people long before us) that the American conflation of art and capitalism was really, really bad, and here we are

[Mohammed Olokode @MohammedOlokod2]

I know that everyone who loves TCM is feeling the hurt and pain regarding the news today. All I can saw just that I am sad about the news, and I just pray that I hope it doesn’t mean what we all fear eventually.

Sending hugs to everyone tonight. #TCMParty

[🏳️‍🌈 Ms. Marya E. Gates 🦩 @oldfilmsflicker]

The thing the cries for physical media seems to miss is the a good chunk of what TCM airs is not available on any physical media

[Sam Malone @SamMalone_]

So these these are the worthless, soulless mfs ruining an essential part of my life. Crazy.

[Frank Wells @FrankTracy]

None of these people has ever seen #MildredPierce #Casablanca or #WhiteHeat all the way through. #TCMParty https://t.co/wxXoZGTW01
