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

Jimmy Stewart stuff tonight and then a few Bob Mitchum's- I think I'm gonna try to watch The Big Steal again.

A late warning, but today is Vincent Price day @ TCM.

today Doris Day

tomorrow Alan Ladd (lol, theyre including Citizen Kane)

Our Man in Havana late tonight

Gotta see that! I read Greene's 21 Stories, Collected Essays, and Brighton Rock this winter and spring.

It's not even out on DVD. I don't think it was ever on video!

also, Sat & Sun are Spencer Tracy & Errol Flynn days.

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.

Wow.

totally nicks some stuff off my netflix queue. v. happy i saw this...

And then, a couple hours later, a double bill of The Wind and Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

Which is like as though I were guest-programming I suspect, though I'd probably go with Female Trouble against Gertrud.

A few hours ago, some friends of mine were scolding me for having never watched La Jetee. Well, guess what playing right now?

Eric, why you skip over Henri Langlois doc?

Why did you stop short of it?

I was listing from memory, yr lucky I came up with those four.

Is Rob Zombie still doing the cult movies thing?

Don't suppose some kind person with TCM and a DVD recorder would care to press record for me the next time "The Password is Courage" comes on?

I'll gladly send you a blank and postage costs!

And yes, I'm aware it's regarded as a dud film, but anyways...

This week on TCM Imports: Pabst's Westfront 1918. It will be preceded by Lubitsch's The Student Prince in Old Heidelberg.

Ha, I just came here to say how come nobody told me about the Lubitsch and the Pabst.

Pabst Threepenny Opera out on DVD today, no?

It came out last week.

Yeah, I must have been reading last week's papers.

Perhaps due to a recycling snafu.

Looks like there are some good noirs throughout the AM tomorrow, including Railroaded!.

In the early PM too.

Four Films by William Castle 2-nite: Homicidal, Strait-Jacket, 13 Ghosts, and The Tingler.

I finally started reading the Lee Server Robert Mitchum bio and Castle seems to show up in there for some reason.

5 Tod Browning films tonite ... followed by the Monkees' Head (also scary).

Is Lionel Barrymore in one of them?

at least one!

followed by the Monkees' Head (also scary).

:D :D :D :D

"The Porpoise Song" or whatever it's called is pretty good.

mrs brown you've got a lovely daughter is on after head.

I wish I could find the "no one vs. noone" thread where Alba posted a giant picture of Peter Noone with the caption "And in his eyes you see nothing."

oh, Head is ... something, I like the music. Just imagine what all those 14-year-old girls in '68 thought of it.

"fanny and alexander" 2am monday

Such riches the past few days. The Jazz Singer, Die! Die! My Darling, The Brain That Wouldn't Die.

Peter Tork: "Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor."

he must be quoting somebody, yeah?

I did wake up in time to watch. It remains interesting but is any of it sposed to be funny? Aside from Davy Jones choosing Sonny Liston to bloody him in the boxing ring. (I first saw 20+ years ago on a twinbill w/ Skidoo.)

I don't think it's supposed to be funny like the show was funny, but there are funny moments. The repartee between the boys and the greasy spoon waitress is pretty great.

yeah, he's like a drag Rose Marie (who I know was on the sitcom a few times).

I think Nicholson thinks he wrote an incisive McLuhanesque media critique.

Probably, but I'll take that over Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper and Terry Southern thinking they really had America's number.

A slew of Louis Malle tonight and tomorrow... The Fire Within late tonight is a fab way to be sent to bed in magnificent bummerdom.

zazie in the metro!!!

Zazie is pretty bad, no? Love the book.

I'm DVRing the next three.

I never knew a Louis Malle film was involved in the case in which Potter Stewart made his famous "I know it when I see it" comment.

That being Les Amants. I haven't watched anything yet, but Black Moon looks like it has some interesting talents involved- Joe Dallesandro AND Sven Nykvist.

4 Roger Cormans tonight, leading off with A Bucket of Blood. Anthony Perkins fest tomorrow night, incl Disney's The Black Hole and Welles' The Trial (which I seem to like way more than most ppl).
