More classics showing up on HBO channels
I don't know how many here subscribe to the premium channels like HBO, but I've notice that there are more classics showing up and in black & white no less. In the last couple of months HBO and Cinemax have run the 1953 version of SO BIG, I'M NO ANGEL, Hitchcock's STAGE FRIGHT, WHATEVER HAPPENED...

WAR OF THE WORLDS has always been my favorite sc-fi film of the '50s. I was about 7 when it came out and it just floored me. The special effects were state-of-the-art in '53 and I think they hold up very well. Sure, you can see the wires on the Martian machines, but that never took away from thrilli...

Shorts now on TCM online schedule
Has anyone else noticed that TCM has now started listing shorts on the daily online schedule along with the exact start time. How many years have we be asking for this? TCM may be a little slow sometimes, but they deserve a big thanks for listening to us. Of course, it appears that they still only a...

Warner films from Teddington Studios
A big thank you to TCM for the "Lost and Found II" films made at Teddington Studios. Besides a chance to see some films never shown in the U.S. before, it gave me an insight on a part of movie history that I knew little about. If anyone is interested in finding out more about Teddington, I...

I don't usually tell too much about myself on the web, but since we are all friends here..... Of course, my main interest and hobby is film. I watch films and collect them on DVD and still a few on VHS. At one time, I collected 16mm films, but that got a little too pricey for me. I love to travel. I...

I was trying to answer a question for somebody on the TCM board, thursday night, and I'll bet I had to try 20 times before it went through. This is really crazy. While I'm certainly beginning to feel at home here, I'd wouldn't want to give up TCM completely. I'd hate to think that the troublemakers ...

THE THREE STOOGES
Now I know we are all sophisticated lovers of fine cinema here and would never stoop to such low-brow humor, but just in case there may be a couple of "closet" Stooge fans around, I'll pass this along. (said with tongue in cheek) On October 30th SONY will release the first volume of will b...

Having worked in television for over 30 years it's true that in general the advertisers prefer the younger viewers. The main reason is that younger folks tend to spend money today and not worry about tomorrow. It doesn't matter that a guy just out of college has $150,000 in student loans and a job t...

At the moment, I use three DVD-R recorders. Two Panasonics and a Toshiba. I do a lot of recording and all three have served me well. The first recorder I got was also a Panasonic, but I had trouble with it and had to return it. The one I got as a replacement hasn't failed me yet. Even the big guys t...
