Re: Politics & Film
Does a person's political beliefs have any effect on your watching his/hers films. 8) Speaking mostly about recent history, for me it depends upon how outspoken they’ve been and how they’ve comported themselves. If I have sense that an actor’s or a director’s political views are contrary to my own ...

There have been so many good mentions here. I agree about “Now Voyager”, and would add “All This, and Heaven Too”. I also tend to get choked up over invocations of the sense of honor, such as the Frederic March admiral character saying at the end of “The Bridges at Toko-Ri”, “Where do we get such me...

Anne, I agree with much of what you say. Maybe there has been little patriotism to garner, but maybe there was instead a patriotic instinct in need of awakening. Regardless of the merits of Bush and the war, it is surely past time to “wake up and smell the coffee” of Islamic extremism. It’s a real i...

To me she seems to be such different women in the few roles which which I’m familiar. I don’t think she is the one deserving criticism for her role in Falcon . It’s a casting failure that she’s such an unbelievable romantic focus for Bogart’s Spade in an otherwise captivating film. Conversely, I lov...

While, as you know Ken, I do not generally agree with the emphases given within your reply, I also do not think you provide an adequate reply to the thrust of my post. I was simply arguing that a modern film that is analogous to “The Mortal Storm” would be morally appropriate and is long overdue. Th...

Seeing this again made me think about the appropriateness of films of advocacy and even overt propaganda during times of cultural and national challenge, particularly in terms of analogy to the present day. Over the past couple decades we have seen the release of tens, perhaps hundreds, of high prof...

Seriously though, I did not mean to sound pompus or insulting. My apologies if it came across that way. I only meant that the nature of any topical board is it's topic. No offense taken at all, and I realize that none was intended. I was just using your sentence as a point of departure for some off...

Programming Pattern?
Don't look now but I'm making my first topic in this here refugee type place: Regarding TCM programming, it would be interesting to learn just how often TCM shows films over a given period of time. I am prompted to ask that just now as I again watch, or more rather monitor, “Crossfire”, a fine film ...
