I forgot to alert you all to let me come in (2011) (on 5/7), and Her Man (Garnett, 1930) earlier today. But do not miss the TCM premiere of So This Is Paris (Lubitsch, 1926), at 8pm EST. Featuring a new score by Ben Model.

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.

Tuesday, December 14, 2021, 10:30pm (EST): The TCM premiere of Three Women (Lubitsch, 1924).
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?

our hack for TCM is to blindly record things and rewatch at our leisure. a lotta good/weird stuff we wouldn't consider at 9PM is great on a rainy saturday at 2PM

I tried taping those TCM Underground showings for a little while, but couldn’t really get into watching them later. I’m sure I’ll cycle back around to making time for that kind of thing…
― unknown blues singer (morrisp), Wednesday, 15 February 2023 04:42 (one year ago) link
Well, Kiss Me Deadly was pretty crazy indeed. Something about it feels not totally "right," as you watch it... like it has this kind of grim, relentless momentum, without any "comfortable" scene (or "relatable" character) to ground you. The acting isn't terrific, in a conventional sense (Cloris Leachman probably best) – and a lot of what happens doesn't quite make sense or fit together - but all this (slight) artificiality somehow adds to the overall uncanny atmosphere.
I can see how these elements may have seeped into David Lynch's work (it was the Wikipedia page for Lost Highway that put this film back on my radar, although I was aware of it before).
The ending, of course, is totally f'd up and disturbing! The noise made by the open box may be the creepiest sound effect I've ever heard. (Beyond the obvious tributes paid by Repo Man, I wonder if Alex Cox chose a Chevy "Malibu" as a hat-tip to the beach house...)

Did it just play? There is some weird trivia thing about it that the actress was Jerry Leiber's (First) wife, I think.
