TV Movies You'd Like to see on TCM ... once in a while
darkblue replied to Bogie56's topic in General Discussions
Very famous in its time. Almost as famous as 'The Night Stalker'. 'The Glass House' (1972) starred Alan Alda and Vic Morrow - a lot of people here would love to see that one. Also starred Clu Gulager and Billy Dee Williams. 'Isn't It Shocking?' (1973) was another good one with Alda - and it co-starred Edmond O'Brien, Ruth Gordon and Will Geer. There are so many, they'll be coming to mind for months if I don't actively go looking them up. -
RICH'S MADE-UP TCM GENERAL DISCUSSION POLLS

Yipper. That's kind of what it became before long. Accent on the er. -
Another member who witnessed a couple of posts that were removed explained this to me, MovieMadness. So, a funny comment now that I understand it. Thumbs up.

The reason was so they could keep people home watching instead of going out to the theater. Made-for-tv movies were direct competition to theater movies. That's why they were made - they were the replacement for what used to be known as b-movies or second features in the theater business. As long as they were stand-alone films - and not part of a series - I have no problem whatsoever with TCM showing them. In fact, they SHOULD show them. They are legitimate movies. -

There are SO many!! The first one I'll mention is the first one that's coming to mind. An absolutely beautiful love story that had me shivering (and I'm a tough guy) - it was called 'In Love with an Older Woman' (1982). John Ritter was the star. Wonderful movie. -
Like most bimbo-type actresses, her shelf-life expired.

Yeah, maybe we could get him to deduce that statement first.

Alphabetical order (by artist) was always good enough for me. Still is. That guy's system was too complicated. Ahh, the good old days when chicks had to put up with all that insufferable sh!t because men made the biggest paychecks.

Haven't been to the left coast since '77, so I have no idea what the parlance was there when "yepper" was all over Toronto in the 80's.

Yes -most show offs are guys, most flaunts are chicks.

It started while I was stoned and just took off, ay.

"yepper" means "yes". It was used extensively in Canadian pothead circles back in the 80's. Pluralizing it means nothing - just a way of stretching it out (ie/ yepper-zzz). Once in a blue moon, I'll still use it around someone who "gets" it.

Cowboy days. Nobody with 3 digits worth of IQ should be doing it anymore. Not even learning-disabled Presidents like junior.

'Don't Worry Baby' was early enough. About a year before 'Help'. As I remember it, 'Don't Worry Baby' was a hit somewhere around the same time as Orbison's 'Oh, Pretty Woman'.

'Warmth of the Sun' should be #4 then.

Not with you, kiddo. You're much too quick.

It sounds stupid. Always did. People who use it sound stupid.

So disappointed in HANGMEN ALSO DIE!

The nazis of the third reich are no longer a danger to anyone. The word, a short form for a political party, has - through constant reference - become synonymous with fascism. Fascism is always present and always dangerous. -
People make me laugh with that sort of thing. 'Don't Worry Baby' is a car song, plain and simple. Or rather, a romance song set to a car-culture backdrop. Beautifully harmonized, though. Possibly the best performance of their early years.

I'd watch that. -
No brush. But what a tragic story for Jack Cassidy. He was on the tube a lot in the late 60's and early 70's. Affecting that smarmy smile, we all pretty much recognized him as consistently dooshie, but my grandmother thought he was dimpled perfection. She melted for him.

Underrated Gems in Someone's Filmography
darkblue replied to speedracer5's topic in General Discussions
Any movie that has a bearded lady should automatically be given an extra half star.
