Always great to see Lotte Reiniger‘s silent era work on TCM.. I’m going to have to DVR this week’s #TCMImports b/c I’m not feeling well but I will hopefully catch some of the “Mexican Spitfire..” series later today. Enjoy the rest of the night and your Monday for me #TCMParty people

Sadly there’s no #SilentFilm / transitional sound film on the TCM schedule this week until next Sunday’s #SilentSundayNights which will have the “Our Gang” short “Mary, Queen of Tots” (1925) and the Norma Shearer sync-sound RomCom “A Lady of Chance” (1928)

Really loved the silent opening for “Riff-Raff” and the cinematography. Eddie’s right; the rest of the film is 1000x better for that opening.. I’m outta here b/c no thanks to Edgar Bergen *shudders*. See y’all later, #TCMParty noiristas, enjoy the rest of your Sunday for me

Who the fuck confuses an iguana for a horned frog?!

The Houston Police being incompetent?! Say it ain’t so

Wild to see someone reading “The Houston Post”. That newspaper closed down when I was 9 (in 1995)- I think my grandparents might still have their final daily paper somewhere

I always love watching this run of movies from the 70s (this, Brewster McCloud, Logan’s Run, The Swarm, etc.) filmed here in Houston. While a lot of the city is the same, A LOT has also changed
