I tried the Netflix DVD service briefly as well. My problem is that I took too long to watch my disk, as I was never in the mood to watch what was sent to me (even though obviously it was sent to me based on my queue). My other issue is that a lot of the movies I wanted to see was never available, a...

Netflix Turned Down Offer To Sell Off DVD Rental, So What's Happening To All Of Those Movies? >>> https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/netflix-turned-down-offer-sell-212930443.html That's interesting that RedBox offered to buy the DVD part of Netflix's business; but were turned down multiple times. ...

What will happen with all those DVDs? LawrenceA and speedracer5 come to mind. They don't need them They have seen them all. Lol! Netflix should donate them to libraries or something. Or sell them cheap online. I'm assuming the original cases were lost, or maybe Netflix bought the discs in bulk some...

Lol. I wouldn't want them if they don't have a case. I'm not into collecting loose discs.

Bye Bye Birdie and the interview with Ann-Margret were highlights of the festival for me. When Dave Karger asked her about her experience working with specific actors from the movie, I was surprised that he asked her about Maureen Stapleton (they had no scenes together) and not Bobby Rydell (who pl...

After the panel, we were back at Grauman's for another special presentation--ANN-MARGRET being interviewed before a screening of "Bye Bye Birdie." When Ann-Margret was introduced as a guest, neither Jimmy nor I cared what was scheduled against it. We were seeing Ann-Margret. Dave Karger i...

I'm definitely getting the Looney Tunes set. I always love Bugs and the gang. Queen Christina is awesome. I already have it though, not sure if I need to get the blu ray. I keep trying to watch "Clash by Night," and I should like it just for the cast, but I keep losing interest in it. May...

The friend I was with doesn't like Humphrey Bogart, so what did I do? I dragged him to two of them in a row ( African Queen and Treasure of the Sierra Madre ), neither of which he had seen. I almost opted for Bye Bye Birdie , but only to see Ann-Margaret and the dance sequence for Gotta a Lot of Li...

What a great post. You've probably been spoiled for life with the Spotlight pass. The worst part (and sometimes the best part) of the TCMFF is standing in a queue waiting to go in, and the Spotlight pass lets you bypass most of the waiting. The worst is because it's a time sink. The best is because...

Omigod-THANK YOU! I know that post must have taken you a long time, very much appreciate it! It sounds like loads of fun, glad you both had the opportunity to attend. Your post reinforces my feeling that it's far more than I could handle & I'd be sleeping through most of the screenings. I atten...

Our first day of the festival was April 13. We had spotlight passes which got us into the opening night film and the cocktail gala afterward. We had to wear fancier clothes than we normally wear, and frankly I felt a little uncomfortable. I'm not posting my photos from that event, because I hated my...

Since it's now been almost a week, I figure that I would post some photos from our first-ever TCM film festival! My husband (Jimmy) and my trip started on Sunday, April 9 with a 6am flight from Portland to Los Angeles. We had a last minute change in plans and instead of going to the beach, we decide...

I attended the TCM Film Festival for the first time this year! On Tuesday April 11, my mom and aunt surprised my cousin and me with the news that the four of us had Classic Passes and plane tickets to Los Angeles! We didn't stay at Hotel Roosevelt, but that was okay. Maybe another year . . . My mom...
