Ahead of the Curve

@tcm Life imitating art? "I can't drag him about for people to stare at .. I'd sooner have Pie happy than go to #heaven!" If that scene moves you, and there is a nirvana, you shouldn't have a thing to worry about #nationalvelvet #elizabethtaylor #tcmparty

@tcm I guess you think because Brent was #Irish (Ballinasloe) you're off the hook for not showing #thequietman tonite. A fine lad, George, but tell me then, where do i go for my St Pats serving of Mary Kate? #tcmparty

Perhaps the luckiest box office flop, Francis Ford Coppola's FINIAN'S RAINBOW ('68) marked the beginning of his lifelong friendship with his production assistant on the film –an unknown student by the name of George Lucas. 🍀 See it at 5:30pm ET as we celebrate #StPatricksDay.

@tcm Dudes got range! No two better movies to showcase this great artist, Kelp's speech late, one of film's best ("like yourself") #thenuttyprofessor #noir #tcmparty

@tcm It's a nice pick (#jurassicpark). I'd've tabbed that or The Fugitive Best of 1993 (Schindlers). They've both got everything, great movie stories most importantly, but that's not how the #Oscars work, no sir #tcmparty

Regina Hall has already picked out Oscar-nominee Michael B. Jordan's next project. Hear why he calls Jurassic Park one of the films that inspired him to be an actor.

@tcm Well, i always wanted to be under Bette's fur but a pair of "white gloves" under her darling derrière might suffice. Of course, you'd've had to get it authenticated, i.e., wait-staff, table-sitter, etc #bettedavis #allabouteve

Actress Rita Wilson shares the story of how she met Bette Davis at the Motion Picture Television Fund’s Night Before benefit.

@jessiemaltin @leonardmaltin @alicepmaltin One of the few film critics today I enjoy reading and listening to (@tcm). I’d say, here’s to another “51 years” but then, love is eternal.

51 years of holding hands and being best friends. 51 years of annoying each other. 51 years of watching movies together. 51 years of showing all of us what soul mates look like. Happy anniversary to my amazing parents. We love you so much

All Hail Gail! beautiful & bad. #mymangodfrey #beauty patrick #noir #tcmparty

@tcm More uplifting than a Pour Moi push-up bra .. Dave Grusin's supporting score (♫) its laytex. Could've been Best film (+ Verdict Boot) .. but politics has an iron grip @theacademy #tootsie 82 #vaudeville #tcmparty

Like the man said .. "It ain't over, till it's over" Gotta LOVE those late-inning rallies. #bulldurham (berra) #love #tcmparty

@tcm Home runs, strikeouts, missed tags, hit batsmen and STILL plenty of action on the diamond. "21 days" Crash sips & savors his cup o' coffee in the Show like it were spiked on 100 year old cognac #bulldurham #baseball #kevincostner #tcmparty

@tcm "Too Tennessee Williams for me" J. Garner Viv should've passed on this Glass Ingénue When you have one Oscar, who needs a doorstop? Besides, Joan or Bette could've cast, but they'd've kicked his ***, making it a Big Boy Williams #astreetcarnameddesire #vivienleigh #tcmparty

Tonight’s Oscar goes to...the south! Join us for sweet tea and warmer weather as we celebrate Oscar winning and nominated films set in the American south. We start with A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (’51) at 8pm ET.

@tcm @davekarger @AcademyMuseum 'Three things that matter in (reel estate)' casting, casting, casting. Hyperbole, sure .. yet, one wonders why this "category" took so long to land?

As this year's Oscars welcomes a brand new competitive category, "Best Achievement in Casting" – @davekarger chats with veteran casting directors Victoria Thomas and Richard Hicks who share their thoughts at the @AcademyMuseum. See the full conversation on our YouTube channel.

@tcm She sure picked a funny time to be genteel.

WOMAN OF THE YEAR ('42) marked Katharine Hepburn's fourth Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. Having won four Oscars across her prolific career, Hepburn still holds the record for most Oscar wins in a performance category. See it this morning as the Oscar goes to...work!

@tcm If Hoffman is the Jack Nicklaus of actordom (most majors), Duvall has to be its Sam Snead / Tiger Woods (most PGA wins). Imagine that. Nice tribute @tcm Watch for these Bobs: #Phenomenon (96) #TheOutfit (73) @pgatour #noiralley #robertduvall #noir #filmnoir #tcmparty

@tcm Awful scene in #moonstruck NO one should bear that kind of hit Miss Riley'd set this guy straight on her #suspect 87 #cher

@tcm Maid in China, loved in cinema The pigtail style may've originated in Cathay during the Qing Dynasty (G-AI), singles wearing two, marriage merging into one (aww), the term coined in colonial America. In #Japan futatsu- yui or twin tails (2.2) #theadventuresofrobinhood #tcmparty
