During Mets' games they play the clip of Peter Finch saying "I want you all to get up..." and cut it off at "and yell" LET'S GO METS.

It's Rita Hayworth night!

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:32 (nineteen years ago)

It's also played in Marlins games (Finch's speech echoes across the empty stadium).

Network fools a lot of us because its characters speak in complete sentences -- a chimera more touching than Chayevsky's belief that TV makes us dumb.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, but when I first fell in love with Network, I didn't really have much affection for intensely talky movies (I didn't like All About Eve nearly as much then as I do now), so there must've been something else.

― Eric H., Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:45 (nineteen years ago)

Was it the phrase "impugn his cocksmanship"?

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not sure what to make of Max Schumacher quoting Anna Karenina either.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

xpost -- I think it was that it allowed me to be the only male in high school acting class who didn't do Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects or "you can't handle the truth!" for my monologue.

― Eric H., Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:50 (nineteen years ago)

haha. I'd love to hear the tape.

i did Woody Allen's "The Moose" standup bit. And some O'Neill thing.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:56 (nineteen years ago)

do you guys all get this channel on basic cable??

and if so, do you realize youre destined for hell?

― deeznuts, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

not basic basic, but I've had it for awhile on the next step up. I still seldom watch.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

i used to get this on basic but then my cable company pulled it & it made me want to kill.

― deeznuts, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 21:00 (nineteen years ago)

youre a spoiled motherfucker then morbius

― deeznuts, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

I get tcm on basic cable, which helps make up for the lack of other decent channels. But no way am I paying for digital cable.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 21:01 (nineteen years ago)

"and Nashville in the wee hours tnite."

ha i was over at someone elses place & got to watch this. totally uncut. someone plz try to argue that tcm isnt the greatest channel on earth i mean srsly

― deeznuts, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 21:03 (nineteen years ago)

I'm not spoiled, I spent about 20 years of my life seeing what they show elsewhere before TCM came into existence.

Also, I'm never home.

― C. Grisso/McCain, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 15:44 (nineteen years ago)

I don't know if I can sit through another Bob Osbourne chat ever again.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

― deeznuts, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

I never watch the chats. I am having too bad of a week to be able to watch Some Came Running again right now.

― Nicole, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

In the UK we get TCM on Freeview (free digital broadcast over the airwaves) but it's "encrypted" for some reason and I can't see it :/

― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 16:13 (nineteen years ago)

Brando doc tonight (followed by The Men) & tom'w.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 16:44 (nineteen years ago)

And didn't I read that Wally Cox isn't even mentioned in this doc?

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 1 May 2007 20:20 (nineteen years ago)

The folks who saw him on the stage are either very practiced storytellers, or he blew them away like no one else.

― Dr Morbius, Wednesday, 2 May 2007 14:16 (nineteen years ago)

Jerry Lewis x3 tonight, following Nutty Prof w/ my fave solo (Ladies Man) and fave w/ Dean (Living It Up).

Born Losers and Mad Max after JL.

― Dr Morbius, Friday, 4 May 2007 16:51 (nineteen years ago)

Kate Hepburn films (centennial) all week at 8pm. Try Alice Adams.

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 7 May 2007 20:18 (nineteen years ago)

Preminger's Baby Face tnite, then mid-late Welles x3

― Dr Morbius, Monday, 14 May 2007 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

Saw Baby Face not too long ago: minor Preminger, but Jean Simmons is superb in a terrible wig (at least I think it's a wig).

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Monday, 14 May 2007 22:26 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't realize David Thomson was guest programmer last night. Act of Violence looked interesting, but the Mets were on.

― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 13:34 (nineteen years ago)

Lots of Welles early Wednesday morning.

― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 13:44 (nineteen years ago)

― impudent harlot, Tuesday, 15 May 2007 19:25 (nineteen years ago)

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 28 May 2007 02:00 (nineteen years ago)

That one guy that quit's favorite movie is on right now.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 28 May 2007 02:49 (nineteen years ago)

Yours, Mine And Ours? Really?

― Eric H., Monday, 28 May 2007 02:50 (nineteen years ago)

Oh sorry, Eric, his favorite movie is playing on IFC, not TCM.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 28 May 2007 02:52 (nineteen years ago)

Eh, I wish it were Yours, Mine And Ours.

― Eric H., Monday, 28 May 2007 03:03 (nineteen years ago)

You and me both, bro.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 28 May 2007 03:09 (nineteen years ago)

oh no, I've missed the first week of pre-Sronewall gay stuff!

http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=159623

No wait, I saw a couple minutes of Queen Christina.

― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 7 June 2007 17:34 (nineteen years ago)

I have to confess I've been watching the Tom Kenny hosted Funday Night At The Movies with my daughters- tonight is Sounder. Although so far the only one that held their interest was The Wizard of Oz.

― James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 18 June 2007 00:14 (eighteen years ago)

― impudent harlot, Friday, 6 July 2007 02:36 (eighteen years ago)

Shit, I didn't mean to lie.

I've seen that first one before, but it's primo. This second one is pretty sweet stuff, too.

― Oilyrags, Friday, 6 July 2007 02:46 (eighteen years ago)

Seven Men from Now is the best of those, I think.

My taping interaction with DirecTV somehow fucked up several months ago, which considering how many unwatched DVDs I return to the library is a good thing.

Coming Monday, SPIELBERG ON SPIELBERG.

Have I ever even heard of Something Evil?
