Re: October 2023 Schedule Posted, Charlton Heston is SOTM
I'm happy to see that the typical horror movies are featured as part of a spotlight and not the entire month. As someone who is very specific about the types of horror they enjoy, I appreciate that the entire schedule isn't saturated in these types of films. They should follow a similar schedule for...

Re: Alan Ladd
I just discovered Alan Ladd within the last year or so. I'd seen his films with Veronica Lake, but other than those films I hadn't given him much thought. Then I started watching more of his films. I watched "Calcutta," "China," "Captain McCary Usa," "Appointment w...

Re: Summer Under the Stars Wishlist
Alan Ladd day was one of the SUTS days I was most excited about. Then I had to go on a last minute work trip to the Bay Area on Thursday. Thinking ahead, I brought 2 laptops and an HDMI cord, so I could use one laptop to stream Watch TCM live to the hotel TV and still have a laptop to use! This was ...

Re: What Movie Related Book Have You Read Lately?
(Veronica Lake) She is so blasé and nonchalant about the fact that she didn't have a relationship with her children, I can honestly see why none of them claimed her cremains upon her death in 1973. Now I am reading Lana Turner's autobiography. If only Lana had devoted as much time to picking a dece...

Re: What Movie Related Book Have You Read Lately?
I finished Veronica Lake's book a while ago. I liked reading about her feud with Fredric March. I could see the two of them not getting along. Lol. I recently watched I Married A Witch . I enjoy the movie a lot, but I can't help but think about how Veronica Lake and Fredric March couldn't stand eac...

Re: Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969)
I saw it several years ago. Cannon and Gould are excellent, but the premise unnerved me a bit, and the near orgy ending was one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever seen. The ending was incredibly awkward. Ted and Alice weren't really into it, but went as far as to get undressed with Bob an...

Re: What Movie Related Book Have You Read Lately?
I finished Veronica Lake's book a while ago. It was pretty good, but I couldn't help but come away with a somewhat unfavorable opinion of Veronica as a person. I love her movies, especially with Alan Ladd, but she doesn't seem like someone that I'd want to be friends with. She is so apathetic about ...

Re: What B&W films would you consider visually "beautiful"?
https://cdn.theasc.com/Rebecca-Curtain.jpg Rebecca's cinematography has a haunting, creepy quality about it. Visually the film is stunning, but also has an unsettling atmosphere, plus the character of Mrs. Danvers, makes it a very spooky film. The titular character of "Rebecca" is never s...

Re: Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969)
I was on a Dyan Cannon kick a couple of years ago, seeing all her movies previously missed. I couldn't believe B&C&T&A was in my library, I remember the scandalous buzz about it when it came out. (I was a kid) Viewing it as an adult was pleasantly surprised. I found it funny & enter...

Re: I Just Watched...
THE SWIMMER (1968) last night on TCM. I first saw this in a mid 1970s TV broadcast... https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/4/42/The_Swimmer_poster.jpg I just saw this again for the third or fourth time. I still get engrossed in it. I believe it's Burt Lancaster's best performance. This is a re...

Re: I Just Watched...
" Deadline - USA " (1952) Richard Brooks, starring Humphrey Bogart. An excellent film, beautifully restored with an intelligent script from director Brooks. Thought-provoking and Bogart is very good as the editor of a newspaper enduring an existential threat (that part of the film, and it...

Re: I Just Watched...
I decided to jettison the "Important" stuff for a while and get back to my bread & butter: goofy "trash". Namely, stuff that aired on TCM Underground that I haven't seen, or stuff from the Psychotronic Movie guides. Thus far I've watched: I like that kind of movie too & ...
