Was doing some research on *Yellow Submarine* and came across this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avfGUEDMWZY That's a great recap of all the best scenes in that psychodelic delight that is the animated Beatles' film.

Coop's friendship with Hemingway strikes me as simply fascinating. I'd love to know what they talked about. Your video led me to this, which I'm sure you have seen before: Isn't he a great knight?

Good question, filmlover. Some of the top movies that come to mind I've already seen on the big screen - a 70mm print of *Lawrence of Arabia* or *How the West Was Won* in Cinerama - but I'd always appreciate new opportunities to watch them that way again. Of course, there are all the other features that were filmed in Cinerama. Abel Gance's *Napoleon* is one that I missed when it was re-released theatrical in the early 80's - and even if I'd caught it, I'd still want to experience it in a theater again - preferably with a live orchestra.

*This thread is a year old Sunday. Keep it up gang. this is great.* That's the spirit! B-) Here are some cool videos I found in another movie forum:

Nice photo, eanm. That's a really unique b-day cake!

Ulla Jacobsson was in *Zulu* with _Michael Caine_

Thank you, CK, for this wonderfully informative and entertaining article (I take it it was an article, since it's dated). You're right up there with FrankGrimes as one of the most insightful and fascinating guys in these here forums - so you know you're in good company!

> {quote:title=tcmprogrammr wrote:}{quote} > Hi, just seeing this thread. We requested - and I'm pretty sure we received - the unedited theatrical version. However, as noted below, it's possible there is a different European version that exists and, if so, we will try to obtain that one if we play the film again. Thank you, tcmprogrammr, for your response. If you happen to read this thread again today, would it be too much to ask that you address the legal difficulties that prevent TCM (or any channel for that matter) from showing Howard Hawks' *Ceiling Zero* ? The issue came up again today in the Howard Hawks thread in *Films and Filmmakers*. I think it has to do with Abend, but I could be wrong about that. Thanks!!

I started a thread about this some months ago: http://forums.tcm.com/jive/tcm/thread.jspa?messageID=7980914 There does seem to be some kind of legal trouble that prevents TCM from licensing it for broadcasting. Your best bet might be to try to find the old VHS copy that was released in the 90s.

Well, if Chris won't say anything in regards to Hershey/Nestle, please allow me to offer an opinion. Asking which one's better is like asking whether Coke is better than Pepsi or chocolate is better than vanilla. Nobody's taste is going to be the same. Heck, even the same person might enjoy either one depending on the circumstances. So it's always best that people have as many options to choose from, so they pick whatever they prefer at any particular time. With Coke/Pepsi, it's usually a given that Pepsi is going to be rather sweeter, and that Coke has a slightly more "cinammony" taste, compared to Pepsi's "lemony" taste. Some folks will always be Coke drinkers, some will always be Pepsi drinkers, and some will switch back and forth. Curiously enough, I'm tending to agree very much with Kathy here. I do like Hershey's for standard chocolate bars, or even "Kisses". Yet I am also partial to Nestle's Crunch bar. Above and beyond those choices, I also like to try other brands of chocolate: Ghirardelli, Toblerone, Ferrero Rocher, etc. And to quote Forrest Gump: "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get."

A Variety reviewer came up with some interesting Oscar oddities: http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=awardcentral&jump=news&id=oscars&articleid=VR1117998938 *This year's Oscar oddities* *Unusual facts about this year's nominations* By TIMOTHY M. GRAY Among the notable and unusual achievements in this year's crop: * Each of the five best-pic contenders saw its director nominated -- which, incredibly, is only the fifth time that's ever happened. * "Button's" Kathleen Kennedy earned her sixth producing bid, tying her with Stanley Kramer and Steven Spielberg for the record for individual producers. * Stephen Daldry makes Oscar history by going three for three: With this year's "The Reader," he has scored a directing bid for the trio of films he's helmed ("The Hours," "Billy Elliot"). * With a 15th bid for "Doubt," Meryl Streep maintains her easy lead in most acting noms. Runners-up are Katharine Hepburn and Jack Nicholson, with 12 apiece. * "Doubt" scored four acting noms, the first time that's happened since the 2002 "Chicago," another Miramax film. * A.R. Rahman ("Slumdog") is a triple nominee, for his music score and two songs: "Jai Ho" and "O Saya," which rep the third and fourth bids for songs not in the English language. * Andrew Stanton ("Wall-E") is only the fourth person to score a second bid in the animated feature category, which began in 2001. He also earned a citation in original screenplay as one of the scribes on the film. * Two best-pic contenders center around real-life TV shows: "Frost/Nixon" (the 1977 interviews) and "Slumdog Millionaire" (the India version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"). * France maintains its lead in the foreign-language race, with its 35th bid for "The Class." * There are nine first-timers among the 20 acting contenders. Seven of the 10 lead actors are aged 45 or older. * Kate Winslet was nommed as leading actress in "Reader," though she won a Golden Globe as supporting actress for the same film. * Heath Ledger scored a supporting actor nom for "The Dark Knight" on the first anniversary of his death. This marks the seventh posthumous acting nomination, including the sole winner so far, Peter Finch ("Network"). * Robert Downey Jr.'s nom ("Tropic Thunder") marks the first time since Laurence Olivier's 1965 "Othello" that an actor has been nommed for playing a role in blackface. * "Waltz With Bashir" is the first animated feature nominated for a foreign-language Oscar (though it's the 13th toon to be submitted in that race; last year's "Persepolis" didn't even make the short list). * Viola Davis and Michael Shannon are supporting contenders (for "Doubt" and "Revolutionary Road," respectively) though each has only about 10 minutes of screen time. * Michael Semanick was cited twice in the sound mixing race, for his work on "Benjamin Button" and "Wall-E." Ben Burtt is up for "Wall-E," in both sound editing and mixing. * Lora Hirschberg ("Dark Knight") becomes the third woman nominated in the sound mixing category.
