I noticed recently that the Watch TCM app has stopped working on my Roku, Android, and iOS devices; the app loads but won't play anything.

Just finished watching THE PHILADELPHIA STORY and then my eyes were blinded by a giant big pink Barbie logo behind Ben Mankiewicz and Greta Gerwig, who is apparently picking the films for this evening, as per an earlier post.

My eyes were so dazzled I didn’t notice the redundant “giant big” in my post.

Ugh, still contemplating this.

They just aired Frank Perry’s incredible Last Summer, but I haven’t had a chance to watch my DVR recording of it yet. I’ve seen a 16mm print from Australia’s National Film Archives and the 1980’s VHS release, which are both different.

Did it break?

it was out of action on all my gadgets for several days

Same here. But it's working fine now.

No doubt the guy who knew how it worked got fired or else was working on the Barbie tie-ins.

Good article – I don't remember EW's reporting getting that granular in the past (in particular the long section potentially linking the cuts to Zaslav's salary/earnings).

Okay, then. But the whole thing made my stomach turn and it is still not quite calmed down.

Oh damn they namechecked Millie in that EW piece. She's a pal, so I'm never not going to be furious about that.

Read about a movie that sounds interesting to check out (Experiment in Terror, Blake Edwards)… it’s not streaming readily, but turns out it’s on TCM tonight & tmrrw morning; what serendipity.
