I'd only understand the Laserdisc thing from a movie art perspective, the picture quality of the film, not so much. Vinyl is somewhat different in that often times old masters sound better than newer ones where they've just cranked everything to top volume. Though you might be able to find pressings...

I think streaming is just different than television. You can't really "surf" through streaming. You start a movie at the beginning, commit and that's it. Whereas television, what's on is on, and sometimes you catch something in the middle and figure "I might want to watch this sometim...

It is a good price and a good selection. Criterion Channel looks like the type of thing TCM, after Robert Osbourne, has aspired to become, with more recent films. While the occasional newer film is fine, I would prefer it to stick to older films. I liked being able to tune in and I knew I would more...

Here's another link, since the previous isn't working for me: https://web.archive.org/web/20230108012434/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/19/business/media/att-time-warner-deal.html Yeah, it is a large bit of journalism and I should warn, not much about TCM itself at all. Probably because TCM was lar...

In case anyone needs a long trip down memory lane about the issue as a whole: https://archive.ph/S9Wkw Surprised to know that ATT still owns the controlling majority of the shares and board seats. While they may have resumed licensing out certain material, the Discovery merger just seems like an ext...

If they end up killing TCM and thereby squander their collection, I'm sure I can count on you all to respectfully complain to your congressmen that copyright lasts far too long. :smiley_whistle: :lol: Can't wait till all the TCM interstitials are replaced with this on repeat: https://www.youtube.com...

I just learned about this "sunsetting" of TCM.com's message boards the day before yesterday. Having been a member there for about a dozen years or so, I possess very fond memories of posting on those boards every day. My most recent visit there had been in October and now I just found out...

Archive.org is a non-profit organization that attempts to archive the Internet (among other things, like TV). It's independent of TCM, WB or other corporations. The only danger (other than archive.org going defunct, as mentioned) is if TCM/WB-Discovery files a copyright claim, which is unlikely, bu...

It doesn't seem to. I looked up one thread and wasn't able to proceed very far. And you can't really search it. Out of curiousity, which thread? AFAIK everything was backed up (text at least), but I'm not positive that the backup itself is in viewable form on archive.org, or if its in some large fi...

I wonder what they're thinking of putting in that time slot that they think would get more ratings. TCM Underground was simply on too late for me.

I mean YE-AH!! YAH-WHOO-WEE !!! But how long will it be there? Worry wart laffite. Who initiated this? Curious to know. But in the meantime : :smiley_yeah: There's no reason to sign up at archive.org you can just use it to look at the backup of the board. It will be up until archive.org goes out of...

You think? I checked the site and you have to sign up to see content. Are you signed up, by chance? To be archived it is probable that would need permission from Turner Classic Movies as well as VisionCommunity. Those are two big ifs. I would be delighted if the forum was saved on Archive dot com b...

Right, james. Possibly "notananimal" is just trying to throw shade on the SSO . . . Uhhh, no. I couldn't sign up and no one wanted to manually authorize the last 3 accounts I made so I gave up. Signup has since changed to a captcha confirmation. Anyways, it seems as though much (or maybe ...
