When it happens to me I'll go to Google and try getting in through a link in the search engine. If it doesn't work I'll try my bookmarks again, if that still isn't working I'll try Google link to TCM forums again - and so forth. Sometimes all I can do is wait for 5 or 10 minutes if the problem seems bad. It happens at night a lot (midnight to 3am) but it can happen anytime and there've been some noon hours and supper hours where it's seemed to happen repeatedly. I believe the TCM servers have their limitations and those limitations show up at certain times.

Because TCM posters are a bunch of old f*rts who actually know who Warren Wilbur is. I'll do my poll out in the real world and let you know how it comes out.

Yeah, but there's still more interest in watching his acting than in William Warren.

I was reading the comments for 'Miami Connection' over at IMDb last week and was surprised at how much love there was for this admittedly 'so bad it's good' movie. Not sure who it is that's searching out movies for Underground now, but I think they're doing a pretty good job lately. Not that the movies are good, mind you - that they've been rarely seen is why I think they're doing a good job.

And yet she is! Which means you don't have any idea what you're talking about. Again. Guess what? Drew Barrymore is a director as well - and a pretty good one, going by 'Whip It' (2009). Darned supposedly dumb women anyway, making fools out of chauvinist slow-wits. Damn.

Ayn Rand's thinking was very limited. She had a limited mind but enough vocabulary to express it with an illusion of surety. That's why so many simple minds adore her. She sold her limitations to them while they thought she was speaking for them.

I have no quarrel with what TCM shows. At all. As for its "mission", well I have no idea if the education of people is part of it or not. However, to say that Warren Williams deserves to have a special day IF Elvis does is laughable. Elvis was the top star - as an ACTOR - in 31 movies over 13 years. How many times did Warren top a marquee in his 25 years? Ever? The box office receipts for Elvis movies is a thousand times greater than all of Warren's movies put together. As for acting, Elvis' performance in 'Flaming Star' alone is better than anything Warren ever got a chance to do as an actor, I think. I'd also bet that whenever TCM does an Elvis tribute, it gets more viewership than anything it'll ever get for this WW guy. Elvis and Warren aren't in the same class at all - Elvis is so far above Warren Wilson it's mind-blowing. So, yeah - by all means have a Warren day and enjoy. But any statement of him being more deserving of it than Elvis has zero credibility.

As an actor I bet Elvis has way more fans than Warren Wilson has.

Still is. Warren Willam not so much.

Elvis Presley was the marquee star of every movie he was ever in! He's a household name! Who the hell is William Warren?

I think you're the one who's too far gone.

No wonder Hollywood keeps losing so much money year after year. The theaters are virtually empty every day and home entertainment sales are almost dormant. They'd better start listening to Nipkow if they wanna survive.

Maybe if you expanded your mind a little. Do some drugs or something.

Like that godawful Big Bang Theory. Oh man, but that show is nauseating.

I wonder whatever happened to the newbie who began this fascinating thread. I'd hope that someone with such an original mind would stick around awhile.

Kinda makes me wonder what was in those 3 minutes of 'Horse Feathers' (1932) that got censored out.

Might as well be.

touchy.

Maybe we could have a poll where the nominees have to have won a New York Film Critics award for best picture. That would be based on more credibility than what the Academy has.

No. I'm pretty sure the OP is limiting this poll to best picture Oscar winners only.

Yes. One 90 minute movie versus a hundred and more hours of series television makes the tv coupling far more of a pop culture recognizance. Of course, the two Felix Ungers were very different characters. Lemmon was a fairly regular guy who happened to be fastidious. Randall was a MUCH prissier sort in every way imaginable.

Bummer. After waiting all these years, I'm very thankful to TCM for giving me the opportunity to get that one recorded.

It's a rare mental illness at work there, to be sure.

Laughing my bum off watching that, jakeem! Shatner is so pervy with Joan beside him. He can't stop staring at her unceasingly and talking sexy sex sex. What a guy.

For me, the shining moment of Joan's acting career will always be as Sister Edith Keeler in 'The City on the Edge of Forever' (Star Trek, season 1).
