Living Skeleton, The (1968)Synopsis: " a macabre grab bag complete with a violent curtain raiser involving a massacre at sea by vicious pirates, a seaside malediction involving a ghost ship, twin sisters persecuted by the oceanside town's grisly past, a dollop of Catholicism and, of course, those uncanny skeletons beneath the waves. ..."
Dir: Hiroshi Matsuno Cast: Kikko Matsuoka , Yasunori Irikawa , Masumi Okada .
"... the film would seem to fall in the Japanese kaidan tradition of subdued, evocative ghost stories, but in execution it's something far more eccentric and indebted to international horror and suspense classics. ....

Private Buckaroo (1942)Synopsis: follows the story of Army trainees during and after basic training, ... The diversion is provided by some of the best and most popular musical acts of the day.
Dir: Edward F. Cline Cast: The Andrews Sisters , Dick Foran , Joe E. Lewis ." This is one of those quickies put out during the war years as short (in this case, just over an hour) diversions for homefront audiences and GIs in training camps and overseas. Since it came fairly early in the war (May 1942 premiere) and follows the story of Army trainees during and after basic training, this also served as an upbeat recruitment tool. ...

LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:😧 Edward Cline. The Andrews Sisters, Dick Foran, Joe E. Lewis, Donald O'Connor, Peggy Ryan, Jennifer Holt.
Mini-musical from Universal Pictures is vehicle for 1940s favorite sister trio, accompanied by Harry James et al. in Army camp show.

Scorsese was asked what he thought of those movies and he gave the honest answer that he thought they're dumb and childish and the equivalent of a "rollercoaster ride." He was asked for his opinion and gave it. He can't criticize something you like ever now? Nowhere did he say people can't enjoy Marvel films or that Marvel films should be mass burned and their fans shamed. All he said they were not serious films and were degrading the art of movie making, an opinion shared by many film makers in his same craft.

if you don't wanna hear great filmmakers criticize comic book movies maybe stop asking them.
It's like "Hey Richard Pryor and George Carlin, what's your favorite Dane Cook bit?"
and then losing all respect for them as comics when they can't name one

Unknown Pleasures ( 2002)
follows the aimless lives of three disaffected young people.
Dir: Jia Zhang-Ke Cast: Zhao Tao , Zhao Wei , Wu Qiong .
BW- 112 mins, Letterbox Format
.... The theme of alienation is reflected in Zhangke's filmmaking style. He uses long takes, a technique particularly suited to work in digital video as in Unknown Pleasures, to create a minimalist vision of life that captures his characters' isolation. Those takes contain nuances of his characters' behavior, creating a highly realistic picture of contemporary Chinese life. ...

Dir: Frederick de Cordova Cast: Ozzie Nelson , Harriet Nelson , David Nelson .

Expanded version of radio's Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet, spotlighting a series of typical, comical situations. Light, predictable fare that paved the way for the long-running TV series.

tonight 10-17 for Ghost Stories.........
3:45 AM (ET)B/W - 100 m
Kuroneko (1968)Synopsis: the spirits of a woman and her daughter-in-law seek revenge after losing their lives to a brutal incident.
Dir: Kaneto Shindo Cast: Kichiemon Nakamura , Nobuko Otowa , Kiwako Taichi
...one of those glacially beautiful, stylized exercises in supernatural themes that the Japanese excel in." As a protg of the revered director Kenji Mizoguchi, Shindo adopted his master's sympathy for the plight of women. Gender politics enter into the ghost story, as defenseless women return from the dead to exact a bloody revenge. ..
Reviewers praised Kaneto Shindo's stylized, genuinely frightening tale of horror. The unsettling film contrasts beautiful images against convincing gore makeup and accompanies its fright scenes with strange sound effects that blend with Hikaru Hayashi's music score. ......

As I understand it, TCM insisted that Comcast move them to a more expensive package as they are charging the cable companies more to carry TCM. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that TCM doesn't have commercials so they have to charge the cable companie more in order to stay on the air?
complain to provider...pretty sure TCM did NOT request & is not receiving any extra $$

...."That's Life" has many moments of truth and some good performances. But it's not all of a piece; not every scene seems to have been thought through on the same level. Tone is everything in a film like this. Unless you establish one, how can you get laughs by violating it? Edwards seems to switch at random from subtle social satire to broad physical comedy, and it's too distracting. ....."
