Has General Discussions replaced Games & Trivia?

I have issues with TCM programming in recent years. But a month in which TCM can screen fresh scans of HER MAN and SO THIS IS PARIS is something.

Keanu Reeves in Something's Gotta Give (2003): Woody Allen in Zelig (1983):

I might be the only one who liked him in What About Bob? Cool to see his first appearance on film in The Graduate though.

Calling Dr. Kildare 1939 M.A.S.H. 1970 The Hospital 1971 tv series ER House Ben Casey Medical Center Marcus Welby M.D.

Yeah, I always thought that was a great scene. And speaking of Dreyfuss in JAWS.... Some years later, in the movie STAKEOUT; While on stakeout, Dreyfuss' character is playing a sort of trivia game with his partner(co-star EMILIO ESTEVEZ) in which one says a line from a movie and the other must name the movie. When it was his partner's turn to feed the line, he gives the line, "Boating accident? THIS was no boating accident" from "Jaws". But Dreyfuss' character answered, "I don't know" Sepiatone

The great film "Jaws" would not be "Jaws" without Richard Dreyfuss. There are so many scenes that I love that are humorous/scary/poignant with Richard Dreyfuss. I love the scene in the boat when he (Dreyfuss) is tipsy and bragging about his diving injuries to the surly, unhinged captain of the boat played wonderfully by Robert Shaw. Dreyfuss is laughing until the captain tells the story of how he was on the USS Indianapolis which was sunk and then the men in the water attacked by sharks.

Shag haircuts did favors for very few people, Fonda included...

I'd like to see Tin Men again. Danny DeVito comes close to ruining most of whatever he touches, but Tin was too good to tarnish. Maybe that's why I like Dreyfuss so much in it. His character holds the same opinion.

i'm surprised no one has mentioned the trash compactor in STAR WARS, they even turned it into a play set:

Out of Towners. (1970)

Recently, I watched a short film on TCM where body images on film were discussed with host Alicia Malone and other film personalities and authors. I thought it was exceptional. It's rare to hear a discussion like this. Film is a reflection of our society and Hollywood has been obsessed with female body image. I liked that the presenters pointed out how ridiculous it is that really beautiful actresses have been cast in the roles of unattractive characters (Olivia De Haviland in The Heiress is a good example) fearing that if they actually cast a less attractive actress in a role it would make the film unappealing. The toxic cruelty of judging people by appearance is not critiqued often enough so thank you TCM. Here's the film link:

And it's amazing they got it to look as gritty as they did. The story (apocryphal?) is that every morning Sam Goldwyn used to come down to the set and pick up the garbage! He liked his films to look immaculate!

I agree, thought Klute was excellent. Only once did I have much shorter hair and that was when a friend got me an appointment with a photographer/make-up artist in NY who had done Cosmo covers. He cut my hair in a shag and it looked great. Problem was I couldn't afford to go to him again and no one could cut it that way so I let it grow out. However, for those few months I had that cut I loved it.

Parachute Jumper (1933)

Wood, Natalie

Out of the Past 1947

Van Dyke, Dick

I only watch this turkey if I'm out of sedatives. Hell, not only was the joke that Beatty's character had enough business acumen to run a salon, but also the talent. As I recall, every client of his all wound up with the same hair-do. Sepiatone

OH. You want the BEST garbage Oscar? HERE ya GO! Sepiatone

The music is one of the better things about the movie. Actual Beatle songs!

Personally I like Dreyfuss better in Tin Men than anything else he did. DeVito was not bad in it either. If you ever watch The Graduate, Dreyfuss has a small speaking part in it.

That was hyperbole. I really can’t think of any. I remember when the Mayflower Madam complained that Candice Bergen had been cast to play her. Candice responded with something like this—in the scheme of raw deals, I don’t think she came out too badly.

I saw it for the first time last night, but didn't like it, 4/10. It seemed to be a comedy, but I did not laugh once during the first hour. The funniest scene for me was Brad Dexter (he was one of 1960 Magnificent Seven) playing a Senator who suddenly starts doing Native American chants during a speech. It doesn't work as a character study since we never learn much about any of them. Warren Beatty sleep walks his way through his role of the hedonistic hairdresser. Julie Christie looks gorgeous. Goldie Hawn is her usual cute and kooky self. Lee Grant won a Oscar for this but she has done much better. Carrie Fisher makes her debut. I thought Jack Warden gave the best performance.

Laura (1944)

Dick Shawn

Redgrave, Vanessa

1945-Spellbound Next: Audrey Hepburn runs away from her royal duties to live life.

Welcome MabelNormand193, It so happens that you missed out on John Garfield films that TCM highlighted recently. He was the Star of the Month in February. I believe they included a couple of pictures with the Lane sisters, and The Postman Always Rings Twice, (which is coming early tomorrow morning at 4 a.m. Between Two Worlds, which will be back on TCM on Tuesday, June 8th), and Body and Soul. You spoke of Horror films, The Devil Doll will be on Tuesday, May 18th at 9:30 a.m. and Isle of the Dead with Boris Karloff at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, May 18th. If you want your fill of Warner Brother classics, check out Saturday's scheduled (May 15), East of Eden at 1:30 p.m., Casablanca at 3:45 p.m., , Mildred Pierce on Sunday, May 16th at 6 p.m. Hang in there. Summer Under the Stars begins in August. The devote one day in the month of August to one Star. So you get to see 31 different star in their greatest and not so great films for the whole day.

One of my favorite films. Let them remake it. The original will be remain unscathed.

Lights in the Piazza(1962) Next: Barry Fitzgerald and Louis Hayward are amongst other guests that are mysteriously on the same island.

The End (1978)

Norman Lloyd and Patricia Morison were guests at the last Cinecon I attended in 2017. Lloyd was especially sharp in his on-stage interview. A wonderful gentleman.

TCM Remembers: Norman Lloyd

This is an interesting challenge. How about Matthew Broderick...? BTW he is a ubiquitous New York celebrity, nice guy and pretty good softball player. moved to Meeting Classic Stars In Person

Just a moment to mention that every single episode of St. Elsewhere is streaming on Hulu. Since only one season was put on DVD, it is a great perk to have the ability to see the five remaining seasons.

I finally watched the TCM Film Festival restoration of HER MAN (1930). Lorna, why are you not all over the performance of your boy Phillips Holmes? And I'm really impressed by the tracking shots--was the audio captured in synch with the video? That would be really impressive for that date.

Although as I recall, this was one of the complaints about this film at the time. That being that while Diane Keaton is very good in the role, she was a lot more physically attractive than the actual girl she was playing in it. And so, somewhat undercutting the idea of the actual girl continually needing reafirmations that she could be desirable enough to be bedded by men. Well, that's what I remember about this anyway. (...and btw, I'm with those here whose feelings about this film were that one viewing of it was enough for them...and in my case, that one viewing of it was when it was first released to the theaters)
