Amazingly enough, Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid has indeed been posted to WatchTCM. That's some consolation if you have the service.ziggy6708a wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2024, 8:15 pm show a bunch of posts in their FB page...so it's NOT the provider, it's TCM's screw-up
too bad...was looking forward to that one
hopefully it'll show up on watch TCM ........maybe
Small mercies. I was sitting through a black screen hoping it would be on WatchTCM since I use that all the time.

no lies detected on JJL or Miss Campion, BUT...I was literally thinking the other day of how POOR THINGS represented a perfect triune of examples in terms of ACTING ON FILM (whatever that is anymore): with EMMA STONE you had a performance so gutsy and so daring and so successful you HAD to applaud it even if you hated the film; with RUFFALO- it was, yes, a BAD PERFORMANCE, but maybe moreso a failed performance that nonetheless was executed with some guts and some technique- the soufflee just didn't rise, but you HAVE to again, applaud the effort AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE performer doing it is not doing it without brains and skill (see also: LIZ TAYLOR in VIRGINIA WOOLF or BRENDA BLETHYN in LITTLE VOICE)CinemaInternational wrote: ↑May 2nd, 2024, 10:48 pm
In the Cut (2003) was one of the biggest cinematic scandals of the early 2000s. There is a lot of nudity. It has some of Lorna's most hated film people all on one film (Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jane Campion).
yES! I watched this too!!!kingrat wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2024, 6:50 pm We just watched "The Case of the Treacherous Toupee" on Perry Mason. Season 4, Episode 1. William Talman is back as Hamilton Burger, so the team is reunited. And who is that handsome young man playing the no-good stepson? Why, none other than Robert Redford. What a treat.
It is on Watch TCM now for the next two weeks, and a lot of the commenters on Facebook now sound forgiving, but it was still an extremely awkward occasion, especially since I thought that they would cut one of the films later in the night to make room for it (they didn't, although it gave me an opportunity to rewatch Pennies from Heaven in several years given that I missed the earlier screening this week.)ziggy6708a wrote: ↑May 3rd, 2024, 8:15 pm show a bunch of posts in their FB page...so it's NOT the provider, it's TCM's screw-up

That's one of my favorite episodes....jimimac71 wrote: ↑May 4th, 2024, 11:41 am Oregon has a brothel in it!
Yesterday afternoon, Hallmark Mystery showed "Trouble In Eden."
(Murder, She Wrote)
In the dialog, a lady said she went down to Medford.
I'm suspecting the town of Eden, Oregon is somewhere near Roseburg in the middle of the state.
Once again, Jessica Fletcher pretends to be someone else and doesn't get away with it.
I recall in our little discussion after you watched Poor Things that you said that Ruffalo and some other guy were really bad in it, and I know I said that I think you were referring to Carmichael, whose performance was really slated in online Oscar talk circles.Lorna wrote: ↑May 4th, 2024, 10:50 amno lies detected on JJL or Miss Campion, BUT...I was literally thinking the other day of how POOR THINGS represented a perfect triune of examples in terms of ACTING ON FILM (whatever that is anymore): with EMMA STONE you had a performance so gutsy and so daring and so successful you HAD to applaud it even if you hated the film; with RUFFALO- it was, yes, a BAD PERFORMANCE, but maybe moreso a failed performance that nonetheless was executed with some guts and some technique- the soufflee just didn't rise, but you HAVE to again, applaud the effort AND RECOGNIZE THAT THE performer doing it is not doing it without brains and skill (see also: LIZ TAYLOR in VIRGINIA WOOLF or BRENDA BLETHYN in LITTLE VOICE)CinemaInternational wrote: ↑May 2nd, 2024, 10:48 pm

...but then there was JERROD CARMICHAEL, a stand-up comedian who has recently made the news for behaving really badly on a new REALITY SHOW (Didn't know who he was until I read a PAJIBA article and then read the comments, many of which mentioned how terrible he was in POOR THINGS, that I was like "OH THAT GUY???! YEAH HE WAS TERRIBLE!!!!" His is just a bad performance by someone who is obviously a novice and it should have been cut from the film because DAMN he just WRECKS all 8-12ish minutes of scrteentime he has and he especially effs up a MAJOR SCENE
this is the article, from PAJIBA, which is one of the last free media review sites that hasn't gone under or been ruined:CinemaInternational wrote: ↑May 4th, 2024, 6:10 pm

Having not seen the man in Poor Things, his reality show and "comedy" specials on HBO, his one-time NBC show,or his controversial awards hosting stint, the only thing I saw him in (and I don't have much memory of him) was in a Susan Sarandon vehicle (The Meddler) nearly a decade ago.
