It was a balmy, Hawaii-like evening in the Bay Area, thanks to the last remnants of our summer (everyone else’s fall.) So I was compelled to break out my island resort wear.

There's almost always a little injection of government-induced paranoia in a Spielberg film.

When Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and The Papas (and later Knots Landing) first saw Star Wars, as Han Solo appeared on screen she blurted out to the crowded theater, "Hey, that's my pot dealer!" (one of several odd jobs Harrison Ford held as a struggling actor.)

OK, hold up a minute– you're telling me they did action sequences before CGI? Like, just with stuntmen and stuff?

How many westerns (that Steven Spielberg doubtless saw as a kid) have used the old "head 'em off at the pass" bit? #RaidersOfTheLostArk #TCMParty

In much the same way that many ladies (and not a few men) watching #RaidersOfTheLostArk are swooning over Harrison Ford, was there an adolescent boy (and perhaps not a few girls) who saw it back in the day who didn't immediately fall in love with Karen Allen? #TCMParty

Geez, if @eddiemuller.bsky.social mentioned some variation of “sexy, beautiful people doing terrible things” one more time in that #noir interstitial, I was going to have to take a cold shower. #TCMParty

There's some very "60s indie film" style cinematography in #WhoKilledTeddyBear. It was a whole genre for awhile. #TCMParty #CreepyCinema

Watching #WhoKilledTeddyBear, I keep thinking Jan Murray is going to start telling jokes about his wife and Juliet Prowse is going to break out in a number with the June Taylor Dancers.

OK, #WhoKilledTeddyBear sounds just exactly bonkers enough for a Friday Halloween, but I have to watch the end of the #WorldSeries first; I'm invested now in the #BlueJays. #TCMParty

Nice to hear the #WorldSeries announcer Joe Davis use the old baseball term "Baltimore Chop", which I haven't heard in ages.

Wow, having watched Kevin Gausman for a couple of seasons the the Giants (who never should have let him get away), he looks like he has his filthy stuff tonight. Should be a great matchup with Yamamoto. #WS #WorldSeries #BlueJays #Dodgers
