@ctmillion.bsky.social"Hey, that's my pot dealer!" -Michelle Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, at an early screening of Star Wars, when Ford appeared on the screen. #AmericanGraffiti#TCMParty
@laughingacademy.bsky.social"[Rock Instrumental🎵]". Really? You'd think the closed captions for #AmericanGraffiti would identify the song (for the record, "Green Onions").

@shepcatzero.bsky.social"I'm not a young man anymore." Wolfman Jack was 35 when he appeared in #AmericanGraffiti. Some of us would kill to be 35 again. #TCMParty

@tcmparty.bsky.socialMy favorite shot of the film is coming up. When Curt is asleep in his car and the phone rings and the camera is floating down through the tree down to street level.

@laughingacademy.bsky.social"If the Wolfman was here he'd say, 'Get your ass in gear.'"

@shani-3.bsky.socialCandy Clark was the only cast member of #AmericanGraffiti to get an Oscar nomination. I feel Richard Dreyfuss, Charles Martin Smith, and Paul LeMat deserved nods as well (Dreyfuss did get a Golden Globe nomination, though. #TCMParty
@laughingacademy.bsky.social"Are you the Wolfman?" he asks the most Wolfman-looking dude ever
#AmericanGraffiti #TCMParty
@tcmparty.bsky.socialAnd there he is: Wolfman Jack himself...
Until this point Wolfman has been an almost mythical voice floating through everyone's radios. Lucas deliberately delays showing him, turning the DJ into a kind of unseen narrator connecting all these separate stories.

@tcmparty.bsky.socialDebbie's a sweety...I love this exchange with she and Terry as they end their night.

@chrissturhann.bsky.socialYou okay, Toad?
Yeah, I'll die soon and it will all be over #AmericanGraffiti #TCMParty
@chrissturhann.bsky.socialThe scene with Harrison Ford added back in for the release of #AmericanGraffiti, which just goes to show, even back then George Lucas messing with his own films always made things worse #TCMParty
@shepcatzero.bsky.socialLaurie catches a ride with Falfa. Williams and Ford appear in Coppola's THE CONVERSATION (though with no scenes together) the following year. #AmericanGraffiti #TCMParty

@phyllindablank.bsky.socialTIL Wolfman Jack was "a Negro" #AmericanGraffiti #TCMParty
@millerfilm.bsky.socialI think that "American Graffiti" is the best film that Lucas directed.
@millerfilm.bsky.socialHopefully, that police car that just got destroyed WASN'T one of the loaned-out cars. If so, the owner honestly deserved more than $20-25 plus food. 😉
@jacksonscafe.bsky.socialyour mileage may vary, but imo, george lucas peaked with #AmericanGraffiti. #tcmparty
@shepcatzero.bsky.socialMembership in the Pharoahs seems like a great extracurricular for an enterprising grad like Curt to add to a college application. He's gaining real-world experience tonight. #AmericanGraffiti #TCMParty
