TCM Party watches The Age of Innocence

Incoming unformed thought: in movies like Cat in a Hot Tin Roof and A Place in the Sun, it’s necessary that the leads be as beautiful as they are so that we understand why the characters act as they do. #TheAgeOfInnocence #TCMParty

Note to self: I want Newland’s hat and I want it bad. #TCMParty #TheAgeOfInnocence

"It was wonderful, he thought, how such depths of feeling could co-exist with such an absence of imagination." She had enough imagination to clock your ass, Newland #TheAgeOfInnocence #EdithWharton #TCMParty

oh I love that x-ray effect that goes through three envelopes to reveal the key #TCMParty #TheAgeOfInnocence

Ryder’s portrayal of May is so quietly solid. She conveys the veneer of innocence barely concealing the focus and intent of a real killer as she approaches the archery competition . #TheAgeOfInnocence #TCMParty

I haven't seen The Age of Innocence. I'm listening while I'm working tonight but I think I need to actually watch this one to appreciate it #tcmparty

There must be some good in Newland because Ted is a good son. #TheAgeOfInnocence #TCMParty

Can I get a ruling? Why doesn’t he go see her? #TheAgeOfInnocence #TCMParty

By the end, Newland ends up kind of a schlub (reinforced in the coda) #TheAgeOfInnocence #TCMParty

He threw his life away. And for what? #TCMParty #TheAgeOfInnocence

and when he says something like "is that all you were worried about?" she clocks that he just unwittingly confessed his affair 😆 #TCMParty #TheAgeOfInnocence

This pic is great for many reasons, like how mild her expression is compared to the ferocity of the dogs', their jingle bell collars, the enormity of her mutton chop sleeves. It was taken 30 years before #TheAgeofInnocence, but she was still styling in the 1920s only with Pekinese dogs. #TCMParty

So "noble" and for what? Newland is a tragic coward. #TCMParty #TheAgeofInnocence

One of the best jokes in Age of Innocence is how they think the English duke doesn’t understand society #TCMParty

He is hearing the Peanuts teacher voice from May. #TCMParty #TheAgeOfInnocence
