aghh i have like six movies taped off TCM i need to watch
― impudent harlot, Friday, 6 July 2007 02:36 (sixteen years ago) link
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 (sixteen years ago) link
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.

yeah, Richard Schickel I don't expect much from.
Have I ever even heard of Something Evil?
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 6 July 2007 16:09 (sixteen years ago) link
I have an unwatchable DVD-R copy of it on my desk that I haven't managed to make work in any player I've tried. :(

Late Sun/early Mon., depending on where you live: A Nous La Liberte, dir. Rene Claire, an early sound movie, with score by George Auric, including "stylized sounds of real world, such as wooden-clog-wearing prisoners marching in step," a satire of "progress," and he ended up suing Chaplin over Modern Times! Plus influencing other directors whom he didn't sue, apparently. Really interesting article by Jay Carr, linked from tcm.com

Todd Oldham is guest programmer this Wednesday. Among his picks: Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! and The Last Picture Show.
And remember, Simon of The Desert is on early Saturday morning, and Greed (in a 239-minute cut) is Sunday's silent movie.
― C. Grisso/McCain, Monday, 9 July 2007 18:43 (sixteen years ago) link
SPIELBERG ON SPIELBERG tonight.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 9 July 2007 18:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Sometimes their segues are pretty funny... The Philadelphia Story leads into Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill! tonight.

there's a waiting list.
My vehicle Forbidden Planet opens Doctor Night tomw, followed by the George C Scott/Paddy Chayefsky The Hospital.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:25 (sixteen years ago) link
Man o man is The Hospital unwatchable.
― Eric H., Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:41 (sixteen years ago) link
haha, quel surprise from you!
(hasn't The King of Comedy come up on yr queue yet?)
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:43 (sixteen years ago) link
i only watch law & order reruns on this channel. should look out for some other stuff, i guess.
― nathalie, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:47 (sixteen years ago) link
no, they don't show dreary cop melodrama TV -- or any TV -- on TCM.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Oh shit, have it confused with Hallmark. Need new brane. I have to check out for TCM. I think I have that but never looked at what they have to offer.
― nathalie, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:50 (sixteen years ago) link
Seriously, how can you defend that Arthur Hiller shit?
― Eric H., Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:52 (sixteen years ago) link
But it's written by your boy Paddy!
Diana Rigg and George C. Scott are great.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:53 (sixteen years ago) link
easy there, I haven't seen the film in 20+ years. But Hiller did direct perhaps the funniest non-Woody/Mel Brooks/Waters film of the '70s, The In-Laws.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:55 (sixteen years ago) link
Didn't I mention something about how I actually more disliked than liked Network the last time I watched it?
George C. Scott is ... committed in that performance, I'll give him that.
― Eric H., Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:56 (sixteen years ago) link
I remember Barnard Hughes being great...
(admittedly re The In-Laws one might want to give the lion's share there to Andrew Bergman & Falk & Arkin... uh, Hiller directed a Natl Lampoon film at age 83? starring Jon Bon Jovi?)
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 13:58 (sixteen years ago) link
He was also the mulletted head of the Academy through most of the nineties.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:02 (sixteen years ago) link
leonine, that mane -- he shoulda run MGM
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:04 (sixteen years ago) link
I did enjoy his inflections announcing crappy candidates every Oscar nominee morning. More worth getting up to watch than the actual nominations, anyway.
― Eric H., Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:11 (sixteen years ago) link
OK, just kidding, I was pretty much a slave to the idea of Oscar-nominated as quality in those days.
― Eric H., Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:12 (sixteen years ago) link
He used to pronounce Susan Sarandon's name "SARAN-dun."
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:18 (sixteen years ago) link
who hasn't? OK, OK, I'm sure you were pronouncing it the right way in kindergarten.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:21 (sixteen years ago) link
I'm pretty sure Tim Robbins always got it right.
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Thursday, 12 July 2007 14:29 (sixteen years ago) link
Sunday night/Monday morning-The Passion of Joan of Arc and Cruel Story of Youth back-to-back.
― C. Grisso/McCain, Friday, 20 July 2007 20:52 (sixteen years ago) link
Jimmy Stewart stuff tonight and then a few Bob Mitchum's- I think I'm gonna try to watch The Big Steal again.
― James Redd and the Blecchs, Sunday, 5 August 2007 21:16 (sixteen years ago) link
A late warning, but today is Vincent Price day @ TCM.
― C. Grisso/McCain, Friday, 10 August 2007 15:12 (sixteen years ago) link

― Dr Morbius, Saturday, 11 August 2007 15:49 (sixteen years ago) link
Our Man in Havana late tonight
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 17 August 2007 16:23 (sixteen years ago) link
Gotta see that! I read Greene's 21 Stories, Collected Essays, and Brighton Rock this winter and spring.
― dow, Friday, 17 August 2007 17:21 (sixteen years ago) link
It's not even out on DVD. I don't think it was ever on video!
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 17 August 2007 17:50 (sixteen years ago) link
also, Sat & Sun are Spencer Tracy & Errol Flynn days.
― Dr Morbius, Friday, 17 August 2007 18:01 (sixteen years ago) link
wow, if u slog thru Becket today, they follow it with 4 of the greatest films of the '60s, Ride the Hi Country-Cherbourg-Jetee-Pt Blank. I feel like I'm guest programmer.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 3 September 2007 16:21 (sixteen years ago) link
Wow.
― C0L1N B..., Monday, 3 September 2007 17:24 (sixteen years ago) link
totally nicks some stuff off my netflix queue. v. happy i saw this...
― johnny crunch, Monday, 3 September 2007 17:39 (sixteen years ago) link
And then, a couple hours later, a double bill of The Wind and Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!
― Eric H., Monday, 3 September 2007 17:42 (sixteen years ago) link
Which is like as though I were guest-programming I suspect, though I'd probably go with Female Trouble against Gertrud.
― Eric H., Monday, 3 September 2007 17:43 (sixteen years ago) link
A few hours ago, some friends of mine were scolding me for having never watched La Jetee. Well, guess what playing right now?
― Oilyrags, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 00:13 (sixteen years ago) link
Eric, why you skip over Henri Langlois doc?
― Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:03 (sixteen years ago) link
Why did you stop short of it?
― Eric H., Tuesday, 4 September 2007 13:12 (sixteen years ago) link
I was listing from memory, yr lucky I came up with those four.
