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

nice. i just want to explore though.

best thing I've ever seen in my life. thank you.

My particular frustration is with the title cards for selection, some of them are informative and some aren't. Some will list the director or whatever but the image is so small you can barely see it.

you should freeze the title/director etc row to keep it on the top.

Yeah, I never have figured out how to do that.
yellow = I've seen it, btw

Back to TCM, the big finish for the noir programming today:

7:45 AM SUDDENLY (1954)
9:30 AM I DIED A THOUSAND TIMES (1955)
11:30 AM BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT (1956)
1:00 PM THE HARDER THEY FALL (1956)

i now have 100 noir films on my tivo; this should keep me for a year
watched about 20

Party Girl is kinda nuts; Lancaster x 2 that follows a must

I think it's just View: Freeze 1 row, but you need the title row to be on top.

Got it -- thanks, dan!

I've been trying to catch up on the noir films with TCM on Demand, but sometimes the site doesn't load or the films time out.

I passed the Film Noir class--anyone else take it? So much fun!

heh, i got caught up and only did the first three weeks. gotta go back as long as it's up!

Martin Scorsese writes about “a few women whose work has affected me over the years, and whose careers tell interesting stories.” And they are Gene Tierney, Olivia de Havilland and Teresa Wright.

Caught The Razor's Edge during the Tierney day; she's always worth catching

Marx Brothers/Groucho solo on Friday. My sad confession: I haven't seen any of their films other than Duck Soup/Opera/Races, so I'll be recording a bunch.

ffwd thru all the non-Marx stuff in The Cocoanuts

Gene Tierney was my maternal grandfather's younger sister. Link is to a snap of her on the Fox lot from family album

v cool

Any relation to badass b-movie actor Lawrence Tierney?

I've mentioned it before but the only thing I've seen her in is my all-time favorite movie, Night and the City, and the story about how and why she ended up in that film is really interesting.

your grandaunt was a cutie

Thanks Dow, Dan, and forks.
No relation to Lawrence that I know of.
Dan, that's one of the good ones. The only ones I would truly recommend wholeheartedly are Laura, Leave Her to Heaven, and Ghost and Mrs Muir. Those are all great.
I only knew her in her old age but she had a very sad life. Luckily she was pretty happy at the end.

And thanks Vegemite grrl

very nice iago! love her.

very nice iago! love her.

Thanks! I haven't really seen them all so I may be missing some good ones. There are definitely some lemons.

Wow, thanks Forks! (& glad you feel like doing this.) All of those I've seen are well worthwhile, except Border Radio. Well, it's worth a look or two if you're a big fan of some of the musos acting here, like John Doe and Dave Alvin, but even so (Alvin said it was an off-and-on production for years, and it does have a doggedness x slackness, which kinda works at times). Those two come off okay--funny how hard Doe is trying, but it did launch his acting career/daygig.

(Eh come to think of it didn't see the first 20-odd minutes, but still)

i may not watch a tenth of those but i'm gonna tape em at least.
Highlights to me are the Brownings, the Lewton and Halloween classics, the complete Decline of Western Civilization trilogy, some of those indie films and a permanent copy of Portrait of Jason on the hard drive.

Have only seen the first Decline.

Over the Edge by Kaplan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Edge_(film)

Over the Edge depicts American suburban life in the 1970s and includes themes of teenage rebellion and drug and alcohol use by junior high school students. The rock music soundtrack features Cheap Trick, the Cars, and the Ramones.

The film was inspired by events described in a 1973 San Francisco Examiner article entitled "Mousepacks: Kids on a Crime Spree" by Bruce Koon and James A. Finefrock.

14 year old Matt Dillon

i saw over the edge when i was like eleven and it made a huge impression of BAD BOY LIFE and have not seen it since.
curious if it has anything to it.

I saw it when I was a kid about 1000 times. It was an HBO staple. I've seen it as an adult a few times. It is an absolutely awesome movie.

Currently recording 3 by David Lean. Dickens is a big blind spot for me, but I'll take a look at his Oliver Twist. I've seen parts of In Which We Serve and would like to see the whole thing. Madeleine (1950) is the one I don't know anything about.

Very Canadian of me, I know, but I highly recommend Mon Oncle Antoine.

it's been years since i saw it
