  1. Have to agree the only hilights to SUTS month, for me, are the token foreign (J. Moreau), character actors (T. Ritter, L. Tracy, G. George) & silent (Chaplin, though his stuff's been aired alot). But with few premieres (other than Moreau) there's little that's new.***

    But I also assume the programming for Feb. & Aug. is not being directed at the hard-core TCM fans, but at the general viewing audience. And if it's any indication, the postings on TCM's FB page show that audience seems to like and look forward to those 2 months.

    So we've got 10 out of the 12 months, that still ain't too bad.

    :unsure:

     

    (*** I stand corrected, further reading in NPG indicated there are supposed to be 20 Premieres)

  2. Why worry about it? One feels as if the above posts are not helping matters. Any one is free to click like on their own posts and countless others have done it in the past and will continue to do it in the future. Let's stop making such a big deal out of nothing and getting the threads even more away from classic film discussion than usual.

     

    uuuuh,...COUNTless others?? :huh:

     

    (showing up at a wedding in a clownsuit may not be against the law, but it's still weird!) ;)

  3. watching The Cradle Will Rock ('99) on FMC

    "Cradle Will Rock is a 1999 drama film written, directed and produced by Tim Robbins. The film fictionalizes the true events that surrounded the production of the 1937 musical The Cradle Will Rock by Marc Blitzstein; it adapts history to create a fictionalized account of the original production, bringing in other stories of the time to produce this commentary on the role of art and power in the 1930s, particularly amidst the struggles of the 1930s labor movement and the corresponding appeal of socialism and communism among many intellectuals and working-class people of that time."
