I probably should have mentioned the passing of actress Brigitte Bardot earlier, and possibly even in a post of its own, although I don't think I've got that many photos from movies of hers I've done on the blog. FXM had run Dear Brigitte recently, but it doesn't seem to be on the schedule any time soon. I haven't seen any news of a programming tribute on TCM, although nothing for February has been released as far as I know.
Speaking of future programming, it looks like the FXM Retro block is still going, and now is the time that some movies are being brought back out of the vault. Not that I haven't already done posts on them, but they're still back on FXM after a while. The early 1980s Eyewitness, subject of a March 2021 post, will be on FXM on Friday. Nine to Five is on FXM on Jan. 3, and the original The Day The Earth Stood Still shows up on the early hours of Monday, Jan. 5 at 4:25 AM.
TCM's lineup for tonight seems to be movies set around New Year's Eve. At least, I think so, since I haven't seen Bridget Jones' Diary (8:00 PM). This morning and afternoon is Marx Brothers movies. So no That's Entertainment! series for once. I've mentioned The Thin Man in the past showing up on New Year's Eve, but that's actually the subject for another post.
It looks like my posting output this year is a bit lower than in years past. Oddly enough, that's probably because I'm well ahead in scheduled posts, around three weeks' worth. When I'm thinking more about what I'm going to post in the future, it's easier to overlook doing things like the briefs posts or mentioning someone who died. Oh, and I still have to write up a post on the January 2026 TCM Star of the Month, but that's going to be later today and scheduled.
