Tonight: TCM PRIMETIME - WHAT'S ON TONIGHT: STAR OF THE MONTH: DOROTHY DANDRIDGEThree with her: Tamango (John Berry, 1959): A graphic portrayal of the horrors on a slave ship sailing from Africa. The captain takes a black woman as his mistress and a rebellion is sparked. Then Tarzan's Peril and The Harlem Globetrotters: very brief clips incl. her make them seem worth checking.Then Where Now Are The Dreams of Youth?(Ozu, 1932):Cheating extends to the business world, as a new company head helps his classmates with entrance exams, then gives a lovelorn nerd a spine transplant.And then Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons(Misumi,1973) andLone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell(Kurada,1974)

Those are probably the recent new restorations of Lone Wolf and Cub that Criterion put out a year or so ago. Soooooooooo dope.

Sorry, just(38 minutes in} now got to A Film About Jimi Hendrix(1973), which I first saw in a 70s theater: well-chosen/transferred performances, good interviews, telling the story, not just endorsements like so many docs.

Just watched the beginning of Pushover (1954), Kim Novak’s screen debut. After a wan, pre-credits bank robbery, the movie kicks into gear with a late-night scene in which Novak is picked up by a stranger (Fred MacMurray) after a movie… they go to a bar, then his apartment. The chemistry in this entire scene (and Novak herself) are—pardon me—hot fuckin stuff!!
― Malibu Cheer Chants Forensics (morrisp), Wednesday, 4 August 2021 06:37 (two years ago) link
Watched the rest of that movie; it was pretty good (though cheap-looking as hell). MacMurray plays a cop who goes crooked and totally screws up his own scheme. (Don’t worry, that’s not much of a spoiler.)

The Big Sleep started a little earlier than I thought, not too far back, not like the plot matters that way---next: Out of the Past, Mildred Pierce, Stagecoach, North By Northwest, The Heiress, Body and Soul, and The Bride Wore Red, the only one I haven't seen.

Kino is releasing this on Blu-ray in January 2022--hope "The Ernst Lubitsch Collection" means more titles in this vein. (So This Is Paris? Forbidden Paradise? Even an upgrade of the Lubitsch in Berlin box set would be welcome.)

Anyway, starting to up my game with respect to using the on demand feature. Do other people make extensive use of this? One thing I started as of this month is to go to the monthly calendar on the website and search for actors and directors I am currently extra-interested in.

xps Love the VOD feature of TCM. Their Roku/Fire Stick box app is spartan, but it works. That said i'm always distracted by a million other things and use it maybe once or twice a year, but it's definitely super great.
I tried to watch the Dick Tracy interview from 10 years ago, couldn't make it past like 10 minutes. Can't imagine how bad a newer, Zoom version would be

Yeah, I use the FireTV app two or three times a week. Everything has its own end date, though, so if you add a couple films to your watchlist one might expire in a month and the other in five days, so when you come back it's a mystery what might still be there waiting.

Sorry for the random q: I’ve been wanting to see Kiss Me Deadly (1955), but the only expeditious way to watch it seems to be purchasing the Criterion BD for ~$27 (…even library doesn’t have it). Is it worth it?
