tcm alert thread (Jun '23 - tcm alert: dead)

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, which I haven't seen yet, tonight.

Master Of The House on tonight. Silent Dreyer, just like you like it.

I put my very brief thoughts about Alice into the Scorsese thread this morning.

/Master Of The House/ on tonight. Silent Dreyer, just like you like it.

Noted cultural vegetable Solaris is on tomorrow night. Killer of Sheep is on late Sunday.

killer of sheep is that dope shit

Loadsa Burnett short films afterwards as well. Man, that's super.

*TIVO TIME*

Hey, The Dardenne's La Promesse on before Killer Of Sheep. Really good/non-case studyish.

Star of the month: Stanwyck, some funky early 30s yesterday, sorry I couldn't pull myself away long enough to alert. Today's not her, but survivors of Nuclear War (she shoulda done one of those; imagine being in a suburban fallout shelter w 50s her). Tonight: Crumb one of my fav docs ever, 1:00 a.m. CST, followed by Gaudi, feat Gaudi himself, from 1966.

Cool! I guess that'll be the first time the words "did you know he masturbates to his own work" are spoken on TCM. Speaking of Zwigoff, I watched Louie Bluie a few weeks ago and it is really really good.

Yes. I'd begun to wonder what it might be like for someone his age in the early 70s, when the more fun aspects of the 60s surfaced and spread through the Deep South (maaan, lemme tell ya). And Louie's ready with an answer or five.

Wonder what Crumb and Bluie might have thought, watching each's Zwigoff docs? They had a number of shared interests...

yeah my 1st reax seeing bluie is r crumb prob loves this

i think it's friday 1/4 theres some amos poe stuff scheduled i want 2 remember and dvr

if i've never been in to/"got" crumb, would i benefit from seeing this?

Crumb is o_O Bizarrely fascinating even if, like me, you know next to nothing about him. "Benefit" I dunno...

id say probably. im fairly meh on his art, think the doc is stunning

that's endorsement enough for me, thanks!

yeah it's a great doc imo

I more or less learned to read by reading my dad's underground comix so Crumb is a touchstone as much as Dr. Seuss or Big Bird really. I remember liking the doc but i last saw it when it was first released; probably due for a rescreening.

funny girl on right now

Spirit of the Beehive, California Split, and The Last Detail tonight. Late but maybe the west coasters can catch some.

bill paxton making some nice picks tonight

Trio of pre-Hollywood Hitchcocks tonight: The 39 Steps, The Lady Vanishes, Sabotage. I watched The Lady Vanishes just a few weeks ago, but it still sounds like a good way to spend 5 hrs.

Noticed that, but thanks for reminding.

Scripts by Tennessee Williams right now... Tonight, five docu-fics by Lionel Rogosin (strongly recommend the first two):

http://www.tcm.com/this-month/article/568367%7C0/Lionel-Rogosin-3-13.html

And Friday night, four of the Rossellini-Ingrid Bergman collabs (at least two of which are monumental).

Fell asleep halfway thru "Rome: Open City" on Friday and hate myself for it :(

(Not bored, just really tired)

bump for Roberto-Ingrid x4 tonight

Watched some of Europe 51 that was dubbed into English. It was ok

It was all dubbed into English (I just watched only some of it)

I had watched Stromboli earlier in the week, the subtitled version on Hulu/Criterion. All the dialogue was in Italian, including Bergman's, and I didn't think anything of it. Last night during the baseball game I switched over briefly and saw that it was a dubbed version, with some dialogue differences -- much more effective, as the Italian villagers' dialogue wasn't dubbed and it did a great job of conveying Karin's isolation due to not being able to speak/understand the local language.

Tootsie on tonight if you've somehow never seen it (or if you're me, haven't seen it in a while).

Must be Dustin Hoffman night, since Little Big Man is on as well.

That one I haven't seen. Worth watching?

It is too long and and I think there are parts that might have aged badly, but there is also some good stuff in there. Differently worth watching. Then after watching read the book.

Why wouldn't you want Europa 51 in English, to hear Bergman's voice? (also, all Italian films of the era are dubbed, including into Italian)

otoh having to hear Ingrid and Sanders dubbed into Italian in Voyage in Italy is silly.

Watching LBM now. Recently reread the book so sometimes feel a slight disappointment at various details gone missing and emphases shifted but some things movie has that book doesn't: John Hammond's bluesmoaning soundtrack, bigger role for Allardyce T. Meriweather, as played Martin Balsam- "Listen to me! Two legged creature will believe anything, and the more preposterous the better: whales speak French at the bottom of the sea" etc- and Chief Dan George.

There are moments of broad comedy in the film that are indistinguishable from something like Support Your Local Gunfighter whereas the the tone of the book never falters. Hey, looks like a new batch of Thomas Berger ebooks appeared last week.

tonight: For All Mankind, 2010, Forbidden Planet

Cool Thx.

I was too hard on LBM. Both of the big set pieces, The Battle of the Washita and the Battle of the Little Bighorn are really well done, Robert Mulligan's Custer has grown on me and yeah, Chief Dan George, Chief Dan George.

Anyone who watched, is watching or will watch For All Mankind please see if you can respond to this unanswered question: Apollo 8 anniversary RFI: which astronaut brought along "Sleepwalk" on his spaceman Walkman?

not tcm but I think posters here might enjoy http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2013/03/22/kurosawa_on_hulu_seven_samurai_rashomon_and_22_more_movies_are_streaming.html
