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

Not TCM but Sundance is doing an Antonioni fest right now. I turned it on and The Passenger was on, to be followed immediately by L'Eclisse, and L'Aventura at 5:45 (following som eother stuff). West coast times.

old travel films

Is that a ref to To Catch a Thief?

The best thing about those locs is Grace speeding along the road where she'd plummet 30 years later...

The elusive Theodora Goes Wild is showing tonight at ten as part of the Irene Dunne festival.

Is that a ref to To Catch a Thief?

the whole night was location-oriented, but there actually were some brief old travel clips prior to it

I'm reading an excellent novel by David Dodge, author of To Catch A Thief, called The Last Match, which also takes place partly in the Riviera, among other exotic locales. I'll bet the book of TCaT is better than the movie.

Why dint you bitches tell me Saturday Night and Sunday Morning was going to be on?

Was it, like, any good?

tomorrow night's theme: THE FUTURE SUCKS! Things to Come, Rollerball, Terminator etc.

THE FUTURE SUCKS

http://msnbcmedia2.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/040526/040526_dayaftertomorrow_hmed_9a.hmedium.jpg

Cagneyfest starts tonight.

I actually stayed up all last night through rollerball/terminator/THE WARRIORS. it was worth it.

I don't get how The Warriors is futuristic. It's set in Never Never Land!

I only saw a Ralph Richardson scene in Rollerball! Who knew?

i prefer this tough guy - http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=184980

Skidoo in the cult spot tonight. You'll be horrified.

Tonight is Redford night?

morbs has me convinced I need to saddle up for 3 days of condoring

Hm. Apparently the Ovation Channel has something called Destination Arthouse on Saturday where they show Janus Films. Tonight will be Ikiru. Lots of commercials but...

Langlois doc followed by La Jetée in the Sunday/Monday wee hours.

Minnelli's The Clock tonight

Rollerball again tonight, after Death Race 2000.

Didn't see either. Breaking weekend silence to say: Val Lewton doc presented by Scorsese and directed by Ken Jones is on Monday at 8, "Followed by a Ten-Film Marathon."

Encore at midnight.

i had never seen death race before. never will again, either.

I DVRed The Woman In White a while back during their salute to Eleanor Parker and I am finally peeping it out. I didn't know Robert Burks got his start as a special effects photographer.

There's a familiar-looking UK character actor that I couldn't place for a while, but I just figured it out- he played some kind of Alien Alderman on Star Trek TOS.

John Abbott. Not quite as long a resume as Mr. Atoz, Ian Wolfe, but still kept pretty busy.

Lewton doc should be good. Apparently he wrote pornography.

They should get Robert Osborne and Carrie Fisher to read some of it.

some idiot TV reviewer said it was porn; apparently just pulp. Nice to see Kiyoshi Kurosawa testifying!

Cagney musicals tom'w night include at least two better than the Cohan one: Footlight Parade and Love Me Or Leave Me.

Barbarella in cult slot tonight.

On Monday night, Charles Burnett films led by Killer of Sheep.

very excited for that ^

Sam Fuller's Park Row on Tuesday at 8 p.m. EST.

Oscar month again. Effects winners incl Forbidden Planet tomw morning.

Chayefsky 1-2 of Network, The Hospital tonight.

Anything to be alerted about this weekend?

Perhaps it's finally time to catch up with The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao.

A pretty dull weekend slate. I haven't seen Voyage Of The Damned in 31 years...

I think I saw Faye Dunaway's cheekbones in the photo over there. Was that movie promoted with one of those disaster movie posters with a Hollywood Squares grid featuring all the stars at the bottom?

Well---does Apocalypse Now count? 1:15 AM EST

Don't know what to watch during this "Days Of Oscar" thing. If only that one guy where here to guide us.

haha. where=were

Tonight, psychiatry films incl The President's Analyst.

Celebrating Rex Harrison's centennial tom'w with 5 films, leading off w/ The Rake's Progress.

i taped night nurse last night, excited to watch it

I wonder how the censorship doc was (old)?

I watched the 2nd half of that -- not bad. Gable was a real badass. I'm fascinated by pre-Code Hollywood, the racier the better. (xpost)

The Essentials with Robert Osborne and Rose McGowan?!

It's Leslie Banks night!

This Sunday night (the 6th) TCM explores marital turmoil with a double feature of Sunrise and Contempt

Bette Davis all day tomorrow, for her 100th birthday.
