Re: Coming up on TCM...

I guess I'm different. I grew up hating Fred MacMurray because of the Disney films and didn't become a fan until I saw Double Indemnity. (and of course all of us are using "hating" very loosely). Hate is a strong word. Loathe works better for me. I've unfortunately seen Double Indemnity i...

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!

I don’t for a second miss the old TCM forum. Don’t have a clue about the TB site and don’t care. Banned forever I suppose. Things are allowed here that TCM Mod 1 wouldn’t allow. Things go off-topic here and the eventually fizzle out. That’s how I see it. I was in a minority of people who enjoyed Tif...

Re: What are you listening to?

I've been listening to an audiobook of Harper Lee's TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD read by Sissy Spacek. I'm not really a fan of the movie adaptation (I mean, it's okay), but I do recall liking the novel when I read it in high school although I haven't re-read it since then. The book is told in the first pe...

Re: What are you listening to?

I found this quite by accident and "The Needle" caught my eye. It is from the Netherlands, which explains different equipment. Mr. Radio Guy is fascinated by the Grundig record player. It resembles the old BSR turntables but is not a changer. Amazing to me that it has variable speed contro...

Re: What are you listening to?

...Surfer Joe was the B-side to Wipe Out. Unfortunately the 45 RPM wasn't in stereo. They were mono until later in the 60s. I enjoy instrumental surf music and really love good stereo sound. The 1960s really nailed it. Okay, I was born in 1961 and was listening to our cousin's BEATLES 45s (and many...

: From "Surf Sounds" on Accuradio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ng-OX3xbmk I love Surf music. That's nice... this is what I listen to, including right now: Endless Summer Legends https://i.discogs.com/BdgVPVhyxU2qpGcZIc9t_XGr-WXS8P1laf5G8zgxvBk/rs:fit/g:sm/q:90/h:520/w:600/czM6Ly9kaXN...

Re: I Just Watched...

It was ironic and sad that Radar from M*A*S*H went home on MeTV on his birthday. Happy Birthday Gary Burghoff.

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!

(...and if it wasn't THAT, you could always count on some "One-Post Wonder" complaining that TCM never showed 'It's a Wonderful Life' come every Christmas season TOO, right?!) ;) LOL Hey, when is TCM finally gonna show some Marie Osmond films? It would be great if she could host an evenin...

You can pay Peacock for ad free service. Just about everyone has an ad based version of what they do.

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

I don't think AFI would agree skimpole. Not in the top 25 anyway. I can agree about Fantasia. Otherwise, I don't agree with animated or the concert category. In my opinion, Unsinkable Molly Brown is classic musical. Talking in one breath then breaking into song. I have not seen Beauty and the Beast ...

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

American Graffiti again and on the 4th. I'm not complaining, just saying. I suppose it bumped 1776. A lot of Ginger Rogers on her birthday. Not complaining there either. Many times I don't recognize a movie by the title or even the description. I'm never upset to see The Long, Long Trailer. Some nic...

Re: Vietnam War essentially ignored - Again!

I grow tired of seeing Dargo's favorite film every chance TCM can show it. "The Best Years of Our Lives" plays at least 6 times a year. I'm not a fan of war movies and have to agree, TCM loves to show older movies. Memorial Day is the beginning of Summer. Play Summertime movies. Mix it up...
