Re: Celebrities In the News

We don't have a transcript, but from what has been posted on X (aka Twitter) he supposedly said that Barbra Streisand was a genius but that he didn't listen to her direction because women shouldn't be in positions of power. Which in itself is an odd statement because, while Barbara starred in and p...

I can relate. Used to climb inside the duvet cover when changing it. Then I learned the inside-out roll-up method. So much easier.

Re: BREE DANIELS: SCORPIO RISING?

Fonda is a Sagittarius Sun. (Moon in Leo, Capricorn Rising) My favorite performance of Jane's is BAREFOOT IN THE PARK. Great supporting cast -- Robert Redford (at ease in comedy), Charles Boyer and Mildred Natwick. Shama-Shama! My brother watched this on a local TV station when he was about 10 (thi...

Re: OBITUARIES

...Among their most famous works are the theme park songs There's A Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow and It's A Small World (After All). According to Time magazine, the latter song is the most performed song of all time...... :smiley_cheers: :smiley_clap: So, I assume that last little factoid's numbers...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES

The original TV show was only an hour, so the script had to be padded to feature length. I don't believe Clara's parents were in the original TV version at all. I've only seen it once, many years ago. My favorite incidental scene in the film is the conversation between the two ladies sitting at the ...

Re: July 2024 Schedule Posted, Eva Marie Saint is SOTM

I guess duplicative names were a thing for a hot minute? Berry Berry, Humbert Humbert Would account for John-John for JFK Jr. True. My aunt called my brother Jim-Jim back around the same time (late 60s) until he was about 8, when he announced he was to be called James henceforth. Didn't even occur ...

Re: I Just Watched...

What always amazed me is back when she was doing her numerous variety series in the 1970s, she would be able to get all that hair under a short wig for various sketches. Where does it all go? One of the mysterious things about being a woman, I suppose, that I'll never understand. Re: MSW and the scr...

Re: OBITUARIES

Richard Sherman, one half of the Sherman Brothers songwriting team, has passed away at the age of 95. He and his brother are best remembered for writing songs for Disney films, television, and theme park attractions.

Re: I Just Watched...

I have watched now several episodes on: The Bugaloos (1970–1972). I believe that this programme is proof that Britain was continuing to receive very high-grade weed from its colonies in the Caribbean. Britain has had some weird kids shows, but this was an American production, from the Krofft brothe...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???

Like I'd tune in because Dave Karger is hosting the segment? I'd be ok with no presentations at all. Rarely do they tell me anything I don't already know. I've come to the point I can't stand the Mank anymore. The others I can take or leave, they don't bother me as much. No one could ever replace R...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???

Just saw a new promo for Noir Alley (as if they didn't have enough of them) -- with Eddie Muller wearing some kind of 1940's camel hair coat, walking the streets of Frisco looking "tough". So silly and frankly tiresome already imo. Forgive my ignorance on these matters, but don't all thes...

Re: I Just Watched...

I just watched Cheyenne, episode Fury at Rio Hondo. This was a remake of Hawks\Bogie's To Have and Have Not. Most of the dialog, as well as associated action, was scene-for-scene \ word-for-word. There was the two women (Bacall and Moran), as well as the sidekick (Brennan). The setting was the Mexi...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???

The same thing happened with Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid - after the failed broadcast it was later posted to WatchTCM along with the introduction and wrap-up. I would imagine that TCM has to prepare the video for streaming and it may be a separate production path. It is possible that this path worked...

Re: AFI's 25 GREATEST MOVIE MUSICALS OF ALL TIME

I love Li'l Abner and have the soundtrack on my phone. When I was a kid, I had both the original Broadway cast album and the film soundtrack LPs. I love the way the opening number -- "It's a Typical Day in Dogpatch USA" -- introduces all the characters. I saw the Encores production at NY ...
