"Got a light?" #TwinPeaks
On this day in 1945, the United States detonates history's first nuclear weapon. The top secret test is carried out in the New Mexico desert under the codename 'Trinity.' Just 21 days later, Hiroshima is destroyed by the first of two atomic bombs to be dropped on Japan.

Great Audie Murphy trivia, certainly not expecting that tonight @therealjoebob #TheLastDriveIn
Planning to see it at the theater this weekend, or I could just close my eyes for 90 minutes and replay it in my head
This weekend, see #MontyPythonandtheHolyGrail on the big screen! Get your tickets now: hubs.la/Q03dxmBC0
Still my favorite Gene Hackman performance, and his Harry Caul is one of the most interesting and complex characters I've ever seen put on film.
Let’s remember David Lynch, explaining on why he told stories the way he did.
What depressing news to see after a long day at work. We just rewatched the wonderful and evocative "The Straight Story" a few weeks ago. This one will be tough. youtu.be/cZTpTFb7xE0?si…
"Every single thing in the world that was made by anyone started with an idea. So to catch one that is powerful enough to fall in love with—it is one of the most beautiful experiences. It's like being jolted with electricity & knowledge at the same time."❤️criterionchannel.com/directed-by-da…
Happy 100th birthday to the legendary Paul Desmond, born on this day in 1924! He was a member of the Dave Brubeck Quartet and composed that group's biggest hit, "Take Five"…
The world definitely became less funny today. #RIPBobNewhart youtu.be/5MCdlgPZFJ4?si…
New York Giants legend Willie Mays makes "The Catch" and throw of a lifetime in Game 1 of the 1954 World Series at the Polo Grounds. #RIPWillieMays #MLB #Baseball #SayHeyKid
Hollywood’s ultimate poison-pen letter to itself, Billy Wilder’s acerbic masterpiece is a brilliantly biting vision of the dark side of the dream factory. Watch SUNSET BOULEVARD in our 1950: PEAK NOIR collection! 🖤 bit.ly/43KOkGP
Happy 2nd Birthday to our Little Big Man Ames!! With a little brother on the way in 2 weeks!
Thinking of my Dad and all veterans on this Veterans Day. Much appreciation.
"[Yossarian] had decided to live forever or die in the attempt..." RIP Alan Arkin.
Goodnight to the great Alan Arkin.❤️ A lifelong cinephile with an eclectic & singular career—from earning an Academy Award nomination for his very first screen role & starring in classics like THE IN-LAWS to directing the black comedy gem LITTLE MURDERS—there was no one like him.
Thanks for allowing me to be the guest on the two-part, four-film John Ford retrospective, especially discussing "The Searchers", one of my all-time favorites.
🚨NEW EPISODE🚨 John Ford Part 2, The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance! A couple good ones showing what Ford could do thematically within fairly restrictive studio standards. #podcast #cinema #film #johnford #johnwayne #western podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the…
Enjoyed being the guest on the first part of the 4-film podcast on director John Ford

Seen more times than I can count...
Happy birthday, @MichaelMann! ☕ ✨ 💙 It's a perfect day to revisit his electrifying heist drama THIEF (1981), starring James Caan and featuring Mann's signature moody stylishness and tactile approach to action—all fueled by the sounds of Tangerine Dream. ✨ 💙
Goodnight to beloved composer Angelo Badalamenti. 💔 We’re remembering his sonic genius with this beautiful moment from an interview on our release of TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME (1992)—featuring a performance of "The Voice of Love" one of the film’s most memorable songs.
My wife told me she had a dream last night about being a fashion consultant to a famous star. My dream last night was about being on a plane with a reunion of the '72 Dolphins. Men are from Mars...
Thank you #WashingtonCommanders As in 2020 when you knocked out the #Steelers I’m a Washington fan tonight! #WASvsPHI #ESPN #72Dolphins #UNDEFEATED
