Hello dolores...so, make me laugh.

P.S. When I logged on to this website a few minutes ago, I was happy to see "dolores"!

Hello, Quote from MikeBSG... "I vote for Robert Siodmak. With the jazz scene in "Phantom Lady" he created an American expressionistic nightmare." I agree with MikeBSG...Robert Siodmak. If anyone asked me, "recommend one film I can watch and get a good idea of 'film noir'...&...

Hello, Quote from JohnM... " The Blair Witch Project remains one of the worst "films" I've ever seen, and Deep Blue Sea , was just a silly little popcorn picture." JohnM...Interesting comment. Why do you consider The Blair Witch Project one of the worst films you've seen? The Bla...

Hello, I recently finished reading the book "The Hopkins Manuscript" by R.C. Sherriff. The book was recommended by Bronxgirl over on the TCM forum. "The Hopkins Manuscript" is a pretty good book. The style of writing reminds me of something by James Hilton. "Random Harvest&q...

Hello,

I do like the "programming challenge" threads. I hope the idea hangs around the TCM forum.

Hello, Quote from moira... "So, does anybody think that there's any chance that cafeteria style cable choices will ever become a possibility? Certain lobbyists representing the tv industry would probably like this idea to die once again in Congress as it has repeatedly whenever it comes up.&quo...

MissGoddess, Have you watched Laird Cregar in his next to last film... The Lodger (1944)? The Lodger was on AMC not too long ago. I recorded. I watched. Laird Cregar IS Jack the Ripper. Well, Mr. Cregar calls himself "Slade"...but he IS Jack the Ripper. Laird's performance as Slade/Jack is...

moira, I could go on and on about movie stars and the twilight years (career-wise). I mean, how many movie performer's careers end with a bang... like Spencer Tracy in Guess Who's Coming To Dinner ? I could go on and on, but I won't. I will just mention a couple of people. Last Sunday, I watched the...

Hello, For a start, I know very little about modern movies. I consider anything made since my birth year (1955) a modern movie. No...I guess any film made since Bonnie and Clyde is modern. Whatever, I have a question about modern films. About six months ago, I watched the movie Le Fabuleux destin d'...

Hello, I just returned a dvd of House Of Strangers to Netflix. Even though 20th Century Fox calls the movie "film noir", I don't think the movie fits the noir genre. Oh...the movie includes a crime and some of the scenes are dark and Richard Conte does a fair amount of sweating (Edward G. ...

sandy, I know what you mean regarding YouTube comments. I had to stop reading the comments. The comments about a particular video are sometimes so off-the-wall, they ruin the experience of watching perfectly good video. We live in strange times. I wonder if Nostradamus had anything to say about the ...

JohnM,

Hmm...well, maybe I only watched the unfunny parts of Benny Hill.

sugarpuss, I don't remember the "Crime Stick" sketch, but I'm picturing how Bob and David would do it and I am laughing. I purchased one of the Mr. Show seasons on dvd...I wanted to watch the "Hail Satan Network" parody of evangelical television show. As a bonus, I got to watch &...

Jon, Good point and Larry's reminiscences is a good example to use to illustrate your point. I'm not reading any "grandfather" notice in the TCM ethics quote. However, I don't know how a lawyer would compose a "grandfather" notice. If I was Larry, I would NOT post any more valuab...

I recently watched a couple of episodes of I Love Lucy on...I think, TVLand. Lucy's antics made me laugh several times. So, I figure...if I Love Lucy was broadcast more than fifty years ago and still makes me laugh...it has to be I Love Lucy for all time favorite show. The one thing television does ...
