It could be a nice idea, but could they get the rights to use the footage from past ceremonies?
-
Awesome MissGoddess, I'll be hoping you enjoy it as much as you have in other video formats!
-
Ah well then feel free to ignore anything I should post.

You've been watching TCM for 5 years... and you didn't realize they have a special month with "31 Days of Oscar" every year?
You've been watching TCM for 5 years and didn't realize that you can look up the schedules for the next two months after the current month?
I do not have a "love affair" with TCM (thanks for showing us your trolling prowess yet again) but I do appreciate the fact that they show more classic movies than any other channel... if you truly have been watching for the last 5 years, you'd realize that, wouldn't you?

Have you no respect for the dead? Joshua Logan did direct some fine movies, if you happen not to like the movies he made that's another thing and it may just be a matter of taste.

> We couldn't agree with you more!
Ditto!
-
MissG I hope you'll enjoy the R2 DVD once you have it (and the player, of course!)

What are you, a necrophiliac?

And you must be a professional troll, have done nothing but post trolling stuff since registering (today) and pretended to be a regular TCM viewer who, casually, had absolutely no idea that the station's Oscar-month programming is different from everything else shown the rest of the year....
So obviously you just registered to start annoying threads, or you're a regular here who just created a new username just to raise hell... whichever it is, it's not funny anymore.

Yes, of course it is... *pats Mr_Dash on the head*

Pygmalion (1938) is not a musical, but My Fair Lady is an adaptation of the same material as a musical...

It could be that, or someone who wants attention, or someone who enjoys crying "the sky is falling!".

Well, you're right. www.tcm.com is still the same as always.
www.turnerclassicmovies.com is now linked to the UK TCM.

Gimme a break.
Some people embraced the music of the counterculture... that does NOT mean they used drugs or alcohol.
Can you possibly understand that there's some medium point where young people could enjoy the music and attitude of the counterculture without taking stuff that was bad for them? Or do you sincerely think everyone who listened to the Beatles or the Doors dropped acid and drank tequila?
-
You're forgetting that towards the last third of the 20th century, movie audiences tended to skew very young.... older people didn't go to the movies as much, and in the post-Jaws era, they certainly didn't have the repeat viewing habits of under-25-year-old audiences.
-
Sorry but you really should be able to look up the schedules for March and April and see that nothing really has changed.
-
For crying out loud, you're talking about movies that even in Oscar month are less than 10% of all movies shown.
You could tune in today and spend the next 15 hours watching TCM and you wouldn't see a single movie made after 1959.
So stop crying "the sky is falling" because it ain't.

main homepage still looks the same to me...

No, I know from talking to folks of my parents' generation that a lot of young people in the 60's totally embraced the counterculture and regarded those who liked old-fashioned music as "squares".

Do you even bother reading what I'm saying? I didn't say Lloyd Webber wasn't appreciated by all generations, I was only referring to some who are too snobbish to give him any credit for all the musicals he's written.
And as for Les Miserables, I think you may be confusing the non-musical adaptations with the Broadway adaptation....

Good point Izcutter, what kind of loyal viewer would be blithely unaware that TCM does this every year during "31 Days of Oscar"?
This person isn't really a regular TCM viewer, because regular TCM viewers already know...
-
I used to watch TCM all the time now I hardly ever watch it.
Well no wonder you're so OUT OF IT!
Let's see, today they're showing 14 hours' worth of 30's movies, then Oscar winners for best picture for 1931, 1942, 1946 and 1959.
So what exactly are you complaining about? Oh that's right, you don't know because you can't even be arsed to look at today's schedule.
-
So MissGoddess, have you already ordered the R2 DVD of The Tamarind Seed, or are you about to? Amazon.co.uk has the re-released DVD coming out next month on sale for 25% off, so it comes to under 10 pounds plus shipping....

Well Kudos again to everyone at TCM for this great effort to conduct a worldwide search so that these movies can once again be enjoyed by film buffs everywhere...

That what you say when you look in the mirror?
Gotta hand it to you, you really have some nerve. First you post spoilers, then if someone calls you on it, you start flaming. Typical male adolescent behavior, tbh.
Your candidate for most over-rated movie?

Last I heard was something about WHV wanting to do a restoration or find the best source material or some such thing....
