The Silver Screen Oasis

Cuthbert, I just realized that you are Swithin from the TCM boards. I always enjoy your comments about theater in New York and London.
I was in New York City in August. I had tickets to see Patti Lupone in COMPANY, but the show closed in July!

I made it. Took several tries to get through, but I did it. Nice to see some familiar faces already.

Welcome back, Ray! Welcome, Cinema International’

Honored to return, Sue Sue!

Hi, HoldenIsHere!

I genuflect, Bronxgirl!

Hello everybody. I finally got in.

Welcome, Isdoormat!

He'll turn it into Sundance and IFC which originally were interesting channels that now program 2 and a Half Men marathons.

IFC was where I first saw one of my favorite films, Nights of Cabiria. Sad what happened to that channel.

It did not help that channel and Sundance are both owned by AMC. They took a while to follow their parent down the rabbit hole, but they ultimately did, and lost the real meaning for their existances in the first place.

Hello folks, I figured I might as well join the migration.

Thank you, Sue. It's refreshing that this is just a message board and not a social media site with the "Likes" and stats and all that. We can just talk about movies and not focus on the superficial.

I'm excited to see everyone here! I hope that we can reinvigorate the boards with new conversation! Maybe I'll create I Just Watched... 2.0.

I like how slow it is. I would actually prefer a slow board with a handful of posts to the spam on the old boards.

I was 'mr6666' on TCM board

Are you going to use the Giant Claw avatar again?

I'd love to, but can't understand how to do it here
