What's interesting is that one of the parties in that thread, who at some point registered at the Silver Screen Oasis, ended up leaving that other movie forum, after being told repeatedly by the moderators there that he was being a bit too hostile to others, and being asked to stick more closely to their Code of Conduct, according to a SSO moderator:

> The initial reason why I created this thread is that it started to disturb me seeing very new new names of folks on the Board who did drive-by posts (in negativity) trying to get things riled up, and then leave. I was wondering what the heck was up wit that. Then the thread quickly derailed by those working out their obsessive psychological neuroses in public...and it all turned into a big yucky ca-ca poo-poo mess.
Who are those "working out their obsessive psychological neuroses in public"? Wouldn't it take one to know one?
Your habit of taking potshots at others (no matter how cleverly worded) might be part of the problem.
If the thread didn't turn out to your liking, it might be because of the simple fact that some of the people who were chosen as Guest Programmers for April have been rather unfriendly (if not downright hostile) towards others here in the forums.

> I just finished watching *Journey into Fear.* Interesting little movie. I had never seen it. I need to look at the background on this film. As with most things dealing with Welles and RKO, I'm sure there is a story behind it.
I haven't seen this in many years. The story behind is is fascinating, as you might have guessed, molo. Much of it you can easily find on imdb.com and tcmdb.com. How did you like Dolores del Rio? B-)

Dear Mr. Osborne,
I thought of one more question for you. It is in regards to Oscars for Colour cinematography.
Are there any particular reasons that you know of why the Academy didn't award any Oscars for Colour cinematography until 1939? Why wouldn't they have given an honorary Oscar to *Becky Sharp* for being the 1st feature in 3-strip technicolor? Was it not considered quite a breakthrough back in 1935?
Also, could you be so kind as to ask TCM Programmer whether or not the UCLA-restored print of *Becky Sharp* is available to TCM? It is my understanding that the film itself is in the public domain, and TCM has often shown movies that UCLA restored.
Thank you very much, and I look forward to the webcast.

Did you color that yourself? It looks great!

I don't see *A Foreign Affair* in your list, SharpDame. It has been shown on TCM from time to time, and although not on DVD, it was at one point released on VHS. It's a very good movie, with great performances by Jean Arthur and Marlene Dietrich.
