I like how you phrased that. It sounds much better than "we've been out shoveling all that @#$%@*%&@ snow AGAIN!"charliechaplinfan wrote: we've spent the morning community bonding clearing all the snow.

How's the weather?
With record breaking weather, not only here in the U.S., but also in Europe, I thought that perhaps we could share the pain and swap weather stories. I'll start. In my little corner of the world, Syracuse, New York, we're use to snow, getting an average of 120" per winter, but this time even we...

Re: Did You Bring Enough For The Whole Class
How times have changed. A couple of years after THE VIEW went on the air my wife and I went to a broadcast. As we went in they gave every person a free sample package of some new breakfast cereal. That's it, just dry cereal . Afterwords, as we went to the subway, there was a panhandler asking for ch...

Re: Wagon Train on the Encore Western Channel
Looks like my DVRs are going into meltdown mode on New Years Day. It use to be a staple in our house on Wednesday nights as my dad was a huge western fan. Having not seen most of them since the 1960s it will almost be like watching them for the first time. Can't wait to checkout the guest stars. I h...

Re: Encore Western Channel
I tried checking their schedule, but January isn't up yet. When they started CHEYENNE they started with a 24-hour marathon on New Years Day beginning with the first episode. I wonder if they'll do that with WAGON TRAIN. It was one of my favorite westerns, especially the episodes with Ward Bond.

Re: Gee, Spock, maybe tomorrow WAS yesterday!
Most likely they thought it was some new secret German plane and that's way it was classified. In those days, they had far more things to worry about than little green men from another planet.

Re: Soundtracks
For music that goes with the theme of the movie, I like Song of Norway , although it isn't a very good movie. The music by Edvard Grieg and the scenery make up for its flaws. Not a great movie, by any stretch of the imagination, but I do like it. When it first came out I had a chance to see it in 7...

Re: myoldmanmovies.com
I checked out their website and it reeks of bootlegger. Also the fact that the discs just have printing on them and no graphics like commercial releases have is a dead giveaway. I don't care what titles they have or how good the quality is, I'd never give a bootlegger my credit card number. BUYER BE...

Re: TCM -- Anti-copying Code?
No offense meant to anybody, but this thread has gotten way too technical and while some of us have the experience and know-how to understand "tech talk" I think we often forget that the majority of folks don't and only want to know where to put the disc and what button to push. Just a tho...

Re: TCM -- Anti-copying Code?
TalkieTime, glad to hear the good word about the Philips recorders. I've been wondering about them. I have two Philips multi-region players which I bought so I could get region 2 DVDs from the UK and I've discovered how forgiving they seem to be. I get movies almost weekly from my local public libra...

Re: TCM -- Anti-copying Code?
While there is certainly the technology available, no cable network, including TCM, does anything to its signal to prevent recording. I've made thousands of recordings mostly from TCM and have never once had a problem recording from any channel. If TCM, for example, prevented copying it would affect...

Re: Where can you get it?
Fossy, One of my favorites is dvdempire.com I've been buying from them for years and have been extremely pleased. and they do ship internationally. I go along with others that you should stay away from Roberts. That outfit is nothing but bootleggers. As a rule of thumb I stay away from any site that...

Two small films from two big directors
Just a reminder that on Sunday, May 23 TCM is showing two rarely shown films by two major directors. At 8pm is Carol Reed's A KID FOR TWO FARTHINGS, a Technicolor fable about a small boy who buys a one-horned goat which he believes is really a unicorn. Then at 10pm we get to watch John Ford's "...
