"The Bartender"
Here's my script for my "fantasy" submission for the TCM Guest Programmer Contest. It is titled "The Bartender" for an all-too-appropriate reason. ( With a tip of the hat and heart-felt thanks to all the Classic Cinema College contributors from whom I took much inspiration .) THE...

When I was little, I would make time for every showing of The World, The Flesh and The Devil (The Harry Belafonte/Inger Stevens film) whenever it would show up on television. I don't know why I was so interested or entertained. Perhaps it was the idea of having an entire city to one's self in which ...

Re: the HAIRY APE
Hello Mr. Ark - Re: THE HAIRY APE Bendix is incredible in this film, one of the rare opportunities he had to carry the weight of a truly dramatic film. [snip] THE HAIRY APE suffers a bit from some crude direction, but overall an oddly compelling and emotionally solid (thanks to Bendix) film. Isn't ...

Re: Always the last to know...
Well, at least I'm catching up with the longer termed TCMers. If the DeMille doc is a few years old, it begs the question: What is Mr. Brownlow's latest project? I wonder what he's working on now? Not that I really pay attention to his stuff but, after a little research, I found out that these proj...

Re: Wings
I'm bleery-eyed, but content, having just gotten in from seeing Cecil B. De Mille – American Epic , Kevin Brownlow 's documentary on the King of Epic Hokum. I noticed that the documentary was 1) presented by Turner Classic Movies; and 2) was made in 2004. Does this mean y'all have already seen it? ...

Anybody see the pair of French films My Father's Glory and My Mother's Castle ? Two of the very few newer films I really admire. If you check them out, definitely start with My Father's Glory as My Mother's Castle is a sequel to the first film. I forget when and how I came across them (early Bravo?)...

Re: Scotty & Midge
A Vertigo piece would be swell, wouldn't it? I could go to the grave of Carlotta Valdez, buy a nosegay at Podesta Baldacchi, gaze at Ms. Valdez' portrait and then race up the stairs of the campanile only to find Robert Osborne (dressed as a nun) at the precipice! Thank Goodness you didn't think of ...

Perhaps I misunderstood it but looks to me like TCM got it all backwards....anyone commenting about a troll would get one warning and then be banned. What the hell about the damn trolls? Are there no banning of them? Or did I misunderstand what it said? No. I don't think you misunderstood what was ...

They had at least three different spammers on there as well yesterday.:? Looks like all those posts were removed. Don't know if I was the only one to contact TCMWebAdmin about the 'spam', but I did send emails alerting them to the posts and then noticed that those posts (including the evangelical s...
