Wasn't the original inspiration for 1970's Tora! Tora! Tora!, the life story of Tor Johnson???

Having certain words and or phrases being dismissed around here really shows you how PC this world has become.

Views don't mean anything. Anyone can bring in a couple of sock puppets and drive their views up to record numbers anytime they want. It's happened a lot with people who wanted something to brag about - in lieu of any actual contributions of which to be proud.
I just love it when I see the same person or persons come up with the same warmed over and pointless threads just to get their view counts up. Like views really mean anything. Posting a reply and getting someone to engage in a conversation is far more important than just seeing how many views you can amass.

Geeze, Louise.... Out all afternoon on the prowl. Missed everything. Darn it!

Asking Nipkowdisc to stop criticizing TCM is like asking TCM to show more Universal films. It isn't going to happen.
This is your opinion....

Unfortunately, some that should be in asylums are running around inflicting others with their delusions.
Agreed.

Local Hero (1983)
Urquhart (Denis Lawson) - acting as bartender:
I want you to try this Scotch. It's 42 years old.
MacIntyre (Peter Reigert)
Old enough to be out on its own.

Bite the Bullet (1975)
Sam Clayton (Gene Hackman): Just like old times.
Luke Matthews (James Coburn): Yeah. You start trouble and I start bleedin'.

go to today's full schedule and click on the description for The Cowboys. they got a leonard maltin review to an old Roy Rogers/Smiley Burnette oater.
You can do this with any media outlet, don't you know?
TCM makes a lot of mistakes daily I am sure. One only has to look so far.
But instead of criticizing TCM, why not applaud them for continuing to show more than 70% pre-1970 films on their schedules???

I have had a few encounters with famous people...
While vacationing in Oahu in 1979, the hotel we were staying at, the Hyatt Regency at Turtle Bay, the hotel was playing host to a television movie cast. The movie was called something like Love Island, a take off of Fantasy Island. In 1980, we saw the movie on tv and it was retitled: Valentine Magic on Love Island
The film starred Adrienne Barbeau, Bill Daily, Howard Duff, and Bob Seagren. Since we were staying at the hotel while the cast was there as well, we kept bumping into Adrienne Barbeau. Once at breakfast, then at the pool, on the beach and at two filming locations. I actually got the nerve to walk up to her and ask her something. I was 19 at the time and did not feel nervous at all. She actually stood there for about ten minutes talking with me. Then Howard Duff walked over and asked her if I was bothering her. He seemed menacing to me. But he was just joking. I told him I fondly remembered him from Felony Squad. They all were very nice to the fans who either followed them or had interactions with them at the hotel.
At a Chicago Cubs game in the early 1980's, my friend and I met Harry Carey, Lou Boudreau and Vince Lloyd walking down the ramp from the broadcast booth after a Cubs game. They all stopped long enough to shake our hands and exchange some pleasantries. They then all signed our Cubs programs. Ahhh, those were the days.
In 1982 at a sci-fi convention held at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, I got the chance to meet my Star Trek hero, James Doohan who of course played Scotty, the chief engineer of the starship Enterprise. He was sitting at an autograph booth and my question to him was related to his World War II experiences especially since he had lost a finger and how did that go along with how during the series he tried to hide his hand during close ups when using his hands. He went on for several minutes and thanked me for asking such a great question.
In the mid 80's while I was leaving the American Academy of Art in downtown Chicago, I literally bumped into CBS Channel 2 Political Reporter Mike Flannery. I never knew he was so tall. I am 6'3" but he stood 2" taller than me. It was not until he turned and walked away that I saw that he was wearing cowboy boots!

Perhaps they will disappear due to lack of interest in good order.
I don’t think so. And this is unfortunate.
Why would anyone go back to a thread or threads and bring them back to life after more than a year or more?
I think the reason some people do this is to reinforce in their own agenda just how important they think a subject that they originally wrote about compels them to bring back that subject and or thread and start commenting on them again. Also I think the folks that do this are doing it out of desperation.
Maybe they feel their influence on the boards is waning and they feel there is a justification to re-introduce these older threads with the hope that additional comments will spur additional discussions. Instead of just creating newer threads to perform the same mission.
My feeling is just move on and leave what was written a year or more ago, where you left it. All this does is clog up the message boards with more wasted space, and ego…
Again, just an observation.
Otherwise darkblue is correct!

This includes an unusual number of old threads being.resurrected, including the inexplicable and confusing return of one on SUTS 2013.
Just a general observation...
And the continued practice by some who write on the boards their continued belief that they know more about film than the rest of us. I can't stand it when these individuals come on various threads and interject their observations when what they have to say is not needed and/or more importantly not welcomed at all. Turns my stomach...

It is worth clarifying that Charter Communications has acquired Time Warner Cable, not Time Warner Inc.
TCM is owned by the latter corporation and despite the overlap in naming, Time Warner Inc. is no longer directly affiliated with Time Warner Cable. As a result, Charter Communications will be unable to exert any influence over the broadcasting practices of any Time Warner-owned channels (such as TBS, TNT, CNN, TCM and others).
So the OP's concern is basically a non-issue right now.
Exactly. Maybe the next time the OP and anyone else starting a thread like this, maybe do a little homework about the subject first? Just a thought...

You got that right.

It is most definitely NOT the movies, but on YouTube I have found a channel showing the first three seasons of Have Gun - Will Travel. I don't think I have ever seen any of these. Richard Boone was so good as Paladin.

This is so sad....
Hopefully he will not linger like so many of them do. If and when he passes, I think he will be the last major star who was in L of A who has died. -
I'd talk about how silly some posters are here on the message boards.

Was watching a doc on You tube about the Bismarck vs. the Hood. I then decided to watch 1960's Sink the Bismarck. Great film based on actual events, and the funny thing is this:
Even though the movie has a lot of miniature work, the models of the ships are very detailed.
