I posted this over in the City but wanted to share my thoughts with all of you as well! I missed it today (see Film Preservation forum for why) but Tivo'd it for viewing later this week. I love this film. Ford brings full circle his look at legend vs truth, a topic that influenced a number of his fi...

Marco, Rex, jr lives in town these days. The good news, the ranch house and grounds are under the care of the University of Nevada,Las Vegas and they hope to turn the house into a museum in the years ahead. Rex, jr has almost all the furniture from the house when his parents owned it and there is so...

Marco, I had the rare privledge today of visiting the Walking Box Ranch where Rex, Sr and Clara Bow 'retired' to and Rex, jr was born and raised. The house and grounds are not currently open to the public so my photographer and I got a personal tour by the caretakers. It was great. The house is haci...

Best cop shows:

Police Story
Homicide
Barney Miller
Kojack (the two seasons)

Marco, So glad that you enjoyed Kevin Brownlow. It sounds like it was a wonderful afternoon. I like the idea of you entering the workplace ala Doug Sr. I am hoping that Iron Mask will play the Silent Theater here later this year as I really want to see it and The Three Musketeers again. I am also gl...

Ken, I could log in this morning then had to leave. Came back this afternoon and can not log in. I am getting the same server error message as you. I sent a personal email to tcm@turner. com (I think that was the addy they posted in new etiquette rules to email them at if you can't PM them) letting ...

I've been able to log on and check out TCM City today. Pretty quiet.

As for the fight thread, no one took the bait so it looks like it may go quietly into the night.

If someone does get ornery in that thread, I would think the TCMWeb will act accordingly.

If TCM has banned those who are using the same name here as over there it is a very ignorant move on their part.>> I don't think any of us have been banned. TCM City doesn't know about this site and why would the TCMWebAdmin ban us even if they did? I think they were/are having some major server iss...

Wow, I thought ol' "Boom Boom Valenti was darn near indestructable. I'm surprised to say the least. How weird that both he and David Halberstam go in the same week? Halberstam covered the Johnson White House and the Vietnam War and Valenti worked in the Johnson White House before becoming the R...

I've treid to access the forums on three different computers to no avail.

If I try going in through Movie Morlocks I can access the General Forum (but not log in at all) and only the General Forum. If I try to go to the main forum page all I get is an error message.

Very weird.

I'm having the same problem. I can sometimes read the TCM message board but I can't log in. Whenever i try to log in, I get this page can't be displayed/server error.

I've tried Firefox, Netscape and IE all to no avail.

Tell me when and where and I'll be there with bags for us and the whole Hearst clan!

Marco, You must find this score! It is so lush and so beautiful! I remember pieces of the film which starred Cliff Robertson and Genvieve Bujold with a wonderful supporting role by John Lithgow (who was still unknown then). The film is good, especially for DePalma who spent most of the 1970s ( Carri...

I saw a snippet of film almost thirty years ago while we were setting up a film tribute for Verna Fields. The film clip had nothing to do with Mother Cutter (Fields' nickname) so I always surmised it must have been one of her favorite moments from a film. I think it was Alice Faye dressed in a gay n...

Marco, In the summertime between Memorial Day and late October, Hearst Castle offers an evening tour that includes docents dressed in period costumes of the day as if they were attending a cocktail party at the Hearst Mansion. Is supposed to be a very informal, very laid back and very wonderful kind...
