oh HELL no

I ain't got time for your shit now!

This ain’t no party
This ain’t no disco

You know you gotta lock a post down when strangers in the replies start telling you how you should have worded it

For a brief period between ending dyeing her hair brown and letting it just be white, my grandma experimented with bluing. A few times we came over to her apartment to find her with either this pink or, on one memorable occasion, a cheery easter egg lavender.

"by jove!" you exclaimed at the search results, as your monocle popped off

No, Alexander's history came out in the mid-2000s. The 1984 version is notable for having an incredible cast, just about every dude in the British movie industry at the time except Denholm Elliott.

I made a wish when blowing out the candle on my chocolate cake earlier this week. I’m still waiting.

“Aw shit, those assholes who were with Cook are back” — the Tahitians #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty

I just let out a snort-laugh seeing Brando pop up in his foppish dressing gown and night cap holding a long stemmed pipe. You know he loved that shit #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty

Singing “Mistah Christian” to the tune of Night Ranger’s Sister Christian #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty

May I share with you a new crush? bsky.app/profile/rebe...

As a kid, watching Harris, Peter O’Toole and Oliver Reed, on these shows was a goddamned delight even if most of it went over my head

Oh to have drunken Richard Harris on late night talk shows telling tales of working with Brando #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty

This and the Laughton-Gable version are fine, but the one I know best is 1984’s Bounty with Anthony Hopkins and as yet unproblematic Mel Gibson. If Boomer women like my mom and her cohort hadn’t already got the hots for him in Road Warrior and YoLD, it was an awakening #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty

I love a tale of skullduggery on the high seas but holy hell what generations of predators got up to with the descendants of Tahitian women and English men was horrifying

Two books I recommend about the real experiences of William Bligh, Fletcher Christian, and their legacy are The Bounty by Caroline Alexander and Kathy Marks’ Lost Paradise, about the centuries-long mass sex abuse of girls and women on Pitcairn Island #TCMParty #MutinyOnTheBounty

As many of you can tell, this movie doesn’t have a lot of George Kennedy George Kennedy-ing it up, and it kinda suffers for it #TheFlightOfThePhoenix #TCMParty

Ugh, that edit function needs to have an longer period. Character!

Hence why the film’s most disreputable chapter would be using it to describe an Arab woman he’s obsessing over

Or maybe I’m hearing in my mind Michael Palin in Holy Grail squawking “just cos some watery bint lobbed a sword at ya” it always came across to me as a slur

I’m sorry for my American English vs British English ignorance but I’m
surprised the word bint was allowed in a major Hollywood picture. I thought it was akin to cunt? #TCMParty #TheFlightofthePhoenix

This movie is an early example of marketing for German precision engineering or, less charitably, why yes we need all those Nazis in our Cold War space program #TCMParty #TheFlightofthePhoenix

“Mar-sales” god bless Ernest Borgnine #TCMParty #TheFlightofthePhoenix

I had to search who was in the 2004 remake because I thought there were more women, but nope, just Miranda Otto post LOTR #TCMParty #TheFlightofthePhoenix

Yep! Dude could reliably play a self-centered creep well into middle age.

I wish we could still have a movie & TV industry where a guy who looked like Ernest Borgnine was in every third production. #TCMParty #TheFlightofthePhoenix

Just after something like “the Phoenix Love Theme by Connie Francis”, I expect a “Miss Taylor’s furs by —“ credit #TCMParty #FlightofthePhoenix

Dramatic opening credits are dramatic! #TCMParty #FlightofthePhoenix
