I guess "truthful" = wrong word? Should've used "precise".

I too record movies to dvd's every month. But there's rarely a dozen. My first preference is to use actual commercial dvd's as my sources, though - and that means bypassing many TCM opportunities. I like to record the commentaries and extras as well as the films themselves, you see - and I like to have a clean copy (no network badges on the screen). But TCM can be (is) a good source for some hard-to-find-on-dvd titles (for me, with a limited budget and transportation difficulties), and I accept those opportunities with gratitude.

Don't forget 'Bloodletting' by Concrete Blonde. As Halloween songs go, it beats all of those.

You knew Bob too?

So I guess when Lorna called him a "queen" she wasn't really being truthful.

I guess I'm confused about what a "queen" is exactly? I thought it referred to what I understood in the post below. I thought those "in the closet" were just closeted homosexuals.

You certainly do. And very, very few would miss you.

'Reflections in a Golden Eye' in 1967 was the first movie that was obvious in its theme of homosexuality - a breakage from the "code". Although the code may have technically met its demise in 1968 (or was it '69?), the truth is that movie-makers were aggressively pushing against it, and defying it, for several years. I detected it's growing loss of influence in the movies of 1966 onward, 1965 being the last year where it was really still observed with true obedience. And even then, a British movie called 'The Collector' had broken the code that year (apparently by accident when the individual appraising it for the ratings board - an elderly gentleman - dozed off during the viewing and missed noticing that the antagonist gets away with his crime).

A coward often runs from his own words.

Yep. It's typically abusive. And yet, I don't see MovieMadness being so chickensh!t as to report it. There's only one bully in these forums that uses that tactic. Hopefully the authority here will catch on soon.

Guess you're one of the rare "loyal viewers" who isn't stuck in the rut of wanting to watch the same old creaky formulae over and over and over.

Bought it special for your stay in Californie, didya?

Been even longer since John Holmes was in and about patrolling the lowways.

Me neither. I had no idea he was an effeminate, flamboyant, cross-dressing homosexual.

Good Gravy, isn't TCM running enough of those things here every month.

Always wants it stopped when people stand up to him. I'd recommend people do it more, but their posts are apt to disappear once our - no doubt by now, exasperated - moderator is pleaded into protecting him from the exposure.

No need for caps in my name, frxeyguy. Save the wear and tear on your shift key.

That's because you're not pathetic. Cry-babyism is, for certain types, tragically incurable.

Wow. And I thought only one member here was suffering from a persecution complex. I wonder if I should report this harassment? Naah, moderator gets begged enough already.

Absolutely. Just try to imagine the stories one would have to draw upon.

I have an audience? What's his name?

Hmm. Yeah, that's quite a TCM "crisis" alright. No wonder people keep referencing it, even though all the schedules I've seen so far seem to be about the same quality and quantity as always. (Well, January's is a little better than usual, but that's just me who thinks it).

They have to carry it as part of the bundle sold to them. Not that they're at all sorry about that. I'd be willing to bet that most subscribers are happy to have TCM available even if they don't watch a lot of it.

The universe makes it up to them by giving them virtually every title on region 2 dvd's.
