Anyone else see the resemblance?
Eeh! Sorry Tiki, but I'm only gonna believe this if you'll NOW post a picture of yourself doing THIS...
Oh that's REALLY Harpo, not me haha.
I assumed you all remember what I look like, but here's one of me in costume:

My long lost siblings...
Haha, in a music thread someone posted:
And I thought, he looks a lot like me-long face, round eyes, curly hair... I actually bear a striking resemblance to Harpo Marx and when I dressed up as him as a teen, it made my Mother cry
Anyone else see the resemblance?

Heck, my whole room is a cemetery then…..over 700 movies in DVDs
Well I prefer DVDs to streaming, although subscribing to Criterion Channel is tempting. I haven't watched more than 2 things on Netflix having it over a year. (MrTiki watches it tho)
The beauty of DVDs is sharing them with people who are interested in seeing a great classic movie. Plus if you fall asleep during a play, it's easy to go back a few chapters. Sadly, this happens to me just about every viewing these days.

So its still on?
I believe so. But they better think things through, they can't just go along as before.
I also wanted to mention Tony Curtis in THE BOSTON STRANGLER is excellent. I recorded last time TCM showed it & was amazed at how good it was.
(my brother resembles Tony Curtis...that picture looks just like him!)

FINALLY! Now where's JOAN BENNETT???
Ironically, CapitolFest -a rare film festival in Rome NY's historic Capitol Theater- was spotlighting both Joan & Constance Bennett's films this year. I was so excited about attending since previous years were stars I personally dislike. But can't go unless seating is "distanced". The place is certainly big enough.

Can anyone help me discover the title of this movie?
FYI... there is a sub-forum called INFORMATION, PLEASE specifically for inquiries & identification.
Welcome to the boards!

Ammonite Movie description: 1840s England, an infamous fossil hunter and a young woman sent to convalesce by the sea develop an intense relationship, altering both of their lives forever.
Ugh why do modern films feel the need to embellish an already fascinating story with a salacious romantic angle?

There is a cache of classic movies I've kept for "watching later" and FIDDLER ON THE ROOF is one of them. (I'll be sad once I've seen every great classic movie)
I've heard the story centers on cultural tradition, different generations which is a universal theme. I understand this same story has been successfully done in every culture- Asian, African, European, etc. kind of like Romeo & Juliet, universal themed. So an update may be successful.
But, I'm sure I'll love the original best & make sure I see it first!

Wow-thanks for alerting us!
I disliked Mae West many years thinking she was a stupid floozy. Once I started actually seeing her films, I realized her humor was actually pretty good natured. Definitely a feminist. She played by men's rules and still prevailed. Now of course, I understand the brilliance of her writing & love her & her films.
She has quite a fascinating childhood that absolutely contributed to her eccentric personality. Should be an interesting Masters.
(some of you may recall I was locked in her mausoleum for private reverence/contemplation)

I had started a retrospective of my 20 favorite films of each year (3 years a day for a month) on another website, starting in the present and going back
Sounds grueling, not fun. I always marvel at the TCM posters here who follow guidelines for movie watching. Sometimes I get in a groove, like seeing a bunch of Anna Magnani or Elia Kazan movies. But most often driven by mood like Kathy Najimy's character in THE FISHER KING:
"I want a Katherine Hepburn-y, Ethel Merman-y kind of movie, something that will make me laugh. I gotta laugh tonight"

Jun 23 - Tiger Bay (1959)
Not so sure about that one. I think I recorded off TCM last year. A new version maybe?

As MovieCollectorOH points out, the TCM schedules are subject to change at any time,
Like The COTTON CLUB, TEXASVILLE & LILAC TIME? All premieres that have been cancelled numerous times. Tease.
Thanks for the AT A Glance link, I've bookmarked it. I really appreciate both of you for doing all this work.
I've spent the isolation sorting all my TCM DVD recordings & found so many duplicates-flibbertyjibbet- which is why I like premieres. (and sometimes I just don't spot them on the schedule)

Last night was a fave '72's GARGOYLES starring Cornell Wilde, Jennifer Salt & football star Bernie Casey.
At times the Gargoyles rubber suits look like a cross of Creature from the Black Lagoon & the Witch's flying monkeys:
In several shots the zipper is clearly visible.
The entire "look what I found" aspect reminds me of MST3K favorite (Arizona) Werewolf 1996.
My favorite scene as a kid-I'd wait for it- is the first time you see 2 Gargoyles together in the cave. The Bernie Casey lead gargoyle whispers instructions to the underling, then pats his fanny as he sends him off on "assignment". It finally makes sense- Bernie Casey was a former football player.

Here are the TCM premieres for May, as determined by MovieCollectorOH’s report published on April 2.
Could you possibly post these posts a bit earlier? I compile my list and set the DVR near the end of the previous month & have missed a few good premieres. I'm sifting through June right now.
I find your list way easier to understand than Ohio's grid. Sorry, nothing personal Ohio-it's me, I have a tough time with grids.

I had always avoided Quality Stree...This is one of the few George Stevens movies that isn't too long; his comedies usually drag out their resolutions until I just want the film to be over.
22 hours ago, LornaHansonForbes said:I have tried and failed on multiple occasions to make it all the way through THE MORE THE MERRIER and THE TALK OF THE THE TOWN.
Ah-HA! So George Stevens is the common factor with these movies....I've never enjoyed any of those comedies. Thanks for pointing this out, kingrat.

Very unpopular opinions:
I dislike John Ford's direction. There are very few of his films I'd ever watch twice.
I absolutely despised DRUMS ALONG THE MOHAWK, actually found it distasteful.

Heh I tuned in just in time to catch Kim Novak taking her top off & thought wow- perfect timing. After watching another 10 minutes I started wondering what the fuss over this movie was about-obviously the fuss was about how bad a movie it is. Kim's naked back turned out to be the highlight.

Thanks for doing this N&N. I'm enjoying your personal insights, especially since the later Disney stuff can be such a mixed bag.
