[quote="movieman1957]I expressed myself badly. I knew "33 1/3" was TV. I actually meant "Head" when I spoke of Retroplex. Sorry about that. I'm with you on the albums up until No. 3. I've never heard "Present." My No. 3 is "Instant Replay" which is the on...

I agree with you on this. In my creative writing classes in college, I used to write stuff like this just to sound impressive and get good grades. It worked (pretentiousness works in college quite well). Half of the times I used to roll my eyes at the nonsense I spewed out while the other half, I di...

Sugarpuss: I heard even The Monkees couldn't stand "33 1/3." Retroplex showed it recently, not in widescreen so I've seen a little of it recently. I'll be watching it all soon. Anybody: If you're a fan (closet or not) which is your favorite album? Brace yourself for 33 1/3. It's not in wi...

I remember going to see it, because Annette was in it. My only memory was being disappointed that Annette was basically a cameo, Yeah, she is. Honestly, sometimes I forget she's in it because her appearance is so brief. benwhowell, I love "Daddy's Song". Davy is my least favorite, but I a...

I was going to watch "The Clock" on TCM on Demand last night, but wound up watching this on Cinemax instead. I like Joanne Woodward, but I'm always a bit hesitant about ANY late 60's-era movies, since so many of them wind up dated. But what an absolutely beautiful movie. I've been thinking...

Huzzah! Another person who loves this movie as much as I do! I made a post about this in TCM City just to make sure it was brought to attention, because I'm super excited this is on tonight (even though I've seen it about a hundred times--no kidding). The history and the behind the scenes info about...

Moraldo (although my mind still insists on thinking of you as Jack Burley!), I'm glad to see that someone else enjoyed The Opposite of Sex , as that's one of my "current" favorites. I always thought that was a pretty perfect movie in every way. I love the relationship between Lyle Lovett a...

Oh, I love this idea! Out of all my friends, I'm the only one who constantly reads film-related books, so I never really have anyone to talk about them with. The only thing that I have to say, is that it would be easier for me to get books that are in-print, as opposed to out of print. I know y'all ...

I just watched this one (according to the Now Playing guide, it's a TCM Premiere, yet it's a WB movie) and I liked it. It seemed kind of a low-budget quickie. I don't know why, but everytime they panned to the bundled up cops chasing Bogie at the end, I kept laughing. They looked like they were from...

Why she would put cotton in her mouth to make her lips fuller is beyond me. Apparently someone once told her that her upper lip was too flat, thus beginning a lifetime of cotton stuffing. I'm not sure if anyone else watched it, but Gloria had a small, supporting role in Chilly Scenes of Winter (197...

I don't think there's ever been talk about releasing this on dvd lately, but I thought it was supposed to be released in a Sinatra box set. I'd totally buy that. I watched this yesterday (I don't know why I look forward to watching movies in "real time" when I already have them recorded on...

On the TCM Board I was almost scared to declare my love for this movie -- as so many were virulently against it. But I think it's brilliant. Agreed and agreed. I can understand why there's somewhat of a backlash against Kane . Personal preference, of course combined with the fact that people with s...

I will never forget that last emotionally- charged scene at the press conference. Can't imagine the last time I see my first true love and it's in the middle of all that paparazzi. I know! It sounds silly, but I always put myself in Audrey's Princess shoes and wonder if I could have stayed as calm ...

I have to agree with Anne, feaito and Christy: I really, really like this board. I didn't post often at the mothership, but I did enjoy reading what others had to say. And even though the sanity is somewhat restored over there, it's just not the same. It feels tarnished (for lack of a better word), ...

Interesting counterpoint, don't you think??? :lol: Now I'll have to go and read Bette Davis' account! That's putting it... mildly . :lol: The intersting thing is that she does mention that she was attracted to him because of his faults, but that she had too much pride to give in. She didn't think s...
