TCM with a Twist
@tcmwithatwist.bsky.social
Bringing the drinks to #TCMParty. Cocktail recipes/history. Also jazz, dogs and whatever else distracts from these trying times. And yes, politics bc the moment calls for it (1. Not affiliated with TCM, just a fan. 2. We sip to savor, drink sparingly.)
Finally watched del Toro's Frankenstein. Totally worth it - sets, costumes and Jacob Elordi's performance are unreal. And I'm not even really a del Toro person...

Always surreal to watch #AllThePresidentsMen... This scene (later in the movie) was shot in the very complex I lived in for 20 years. My place was a few doors down but same exact view and same layout inside... #TCMParty #MarinaDelRey

Hitchcock's favorite of his own films #ShadowOfADoubt on next!!! Mine too. Joseph Cotton famously said he was in Orson Welles favorite film (Citizen Kane), Carol Reed's favorite film (The Third Man) and Hitchcock's. So that's kinda cool. #TCMParty
