You want to know what makes me cry? The crinkles in Margaret Sullavan's voice. She was better in Three Comrades, but still....

Rerunning "Directed by John Ford" tomorrow.

I think tonight (or maybe it was this morning), Chinatown and The Conversation are back to back!

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Also: CRIMSON FUCKING TIDE?!?!??!

― David R., Thursday, 1 March 2007 15:42 (nineteen years ago)

A Thousand Clowns

Oh man, I love this movie! Been waiting ages for it to be shown too. I'm gonna make sure my parents tivo it so I can get it next time I'm home.

― G00blar, Thursday, 1 March 2007 15:50 (nineteen years ago)

Europa '51 is unmissable.

It's Gene Kelly Month: It's Always Fair Weather on the 12th is esp underseen (theme of mid-Fifties middle-class anomie).

Ken, I may try to catch that RKO twinbill at FF at 5:40.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 1 March 2007 15:52 (nineteen years ago)

sounds good, but no can do

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Thursday, 1 March 2007 16:36 (nineteen years ago)

Tonight at 8 ET, Bogey's Spade and Marlowe followed by Kiss Me Deadly.

Betty Hutton interview at 7 ET tonight.

Jerry Lewis triple feature for his 81st tomorrow, followed by early Woody Allen, incl his Cavett '71 interview.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 15 March 2007 14:45 (nineteen years ago)

Bresson Joan of Arc movie on tonight at 2AM, I think.

When did Carrie Fisher replace Molly Haskell on The Essentials?

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Sunday, 18 March 2007 18:30 (nineteen years ago)

isn't she just Guest Programmer or somthin? cuz shit, othwise that's hideous.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 19 March 2007 19:56 (nineteen years ago)

I think she's the new regular co-host. Maybe Molly knew too much for Bob O's liking. Carrie can probably keep him supplied with childhood showbiz anecdotes: "And then Chill Wills pushed Noah Beery into the pool, the resulting splash drenching my mother so she had to change outfits."

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 13:37 (nineteen years ago)

well, I imagine they'll change hosts regularly? Wasn't it previously Sydney Pollack solo?

Some of the upcoming stuff is far from essential: It's a Mad x4 World and fer God's sake, Fear Strikes Out??

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:04 (nineteen years ago)

I fear that fear has not struck out at all, and that it is downhill from now on.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 14:11 (nineteen years ago)

Man I'm glad I had the TV on at 11 last night or I woulda missed Chinatown. Don't slip on me, TCM doods!

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Thursday, 29 March 2007 02:27 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but Chinatown is on TCM (and DVD shelves) all the time.

― Eric H., Thursday, 29 March 2007 03:27 (nineteen years ago)

Who saw Osborne's hour with Jane Fonda? Glossed Julia, The Morning After, Tout va Bien all out of existence so they could thoroughly rehash On Golden Syrup for 15 minutes. Yes Jane, Dad was a cold fish, we've heard...

Ken, it's gotta be on the SCTV box?

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 18:56 (nineteen years ago)

tonight at 8 is "only angels have wings" which i saw a little bit of years ago and thought it was brilliant:

A team of flyers risks their lives to deliver the mail in a mountainous South American country. Cast: Cary Grant, Jean Arthur, Rita Hayworth. Dir: Howard Hawks. BW-121 mins, TV-PG, CC

― gff, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 19:03 (nineteen years ago)

It's quintessential Hawks ... you really need the big screen when he's got 7 or 8 actors in the frame though.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

Robards marathon 2-nite.

― C. Grisso/McCain, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:28 (nineteen years ago)

that Brando doc they've produced for next month is almost 3 hours!

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:42 (nineteen years ago)

(i didn't end up watching "only angels have wings," whoops)

― gff, Thursday, 12 April 2007 18:44 (nineteen years ago)

Cautionary trilogy of television tales (fittingly post-Imus) tonight includes A Face in the Crowd, Network ... and The Barefoot Executive??

Followed by Coffy and Foxy Brown.

Late Sunday, Griffith's transracial weepie Broken Blossoms and Lang's Testament of Dr. Mabuse.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 13 April 2007 19:51 (nineteen years ago)

dr mabuse, always wanted to see that. is broken blossoms any good?

i was thinking about face in the crowd just the other night; certainly has some resonance with the imus kerfluffle.
