I'm most certain that Omar Bradley (Karl Malden) was thinking exactly that when he saw Patton shooting his revolver at the German figher during a strafing sortie.

I learned this about General Patton on "Patton 360"
War is hell

Since the name of this thread is "Post Picture of That Voice", the very first thought was a photo of *that voice*. How about a couple of photos of Hedy Lamarrs voice. These are still (frame grab) snapshots that came from "The Jazz Singer" 3 disc DVD set. It is from Disc number 2 "The Dawn of Sound: How Movies Learned to Talk", starting 20:43 into the clip.
You will never see Hedy Lamarrs in this light again.
This is the word *about* but only the *bout* part of the word.
This is *Two*.

I thought the original topic was us seeking professional help?
I can just see some of us sitting in a group therapy session "Ok, I am (John Doe) and I have to get this off my chest, I have to admit I am addicted to TCM, boo hoo."

I just saw Tom Hanks last night on the History Channel giving an interview about the movie "Angel and Demons Decoded". A very nice documentary about the truths and myths behind the plot of the movie.
Hard to beleive he's this old already, looked like yesterday he was in "Big". If he was cast in "Fahrenheit 451", he might uncover the conspiracy why the government want to burn books. (old habits are hard to break, lol).

You can get it for $23.07 at Amazon.com Not bad for a *hardcover* book.

They did just enough to tease us. Was it *that* expensive?
I would love to see those 3 color movies you listed on TCM. "Stage Struck" rings a bell.

That photo makes one wish those silents were shot in 2 strip Technicolor.

If Agnes only saw just a little into the future, at the present population at 6,798,187,903 (and still counting) she would THINK the world is run by rabbits!
Ha, today *sex* is about the only thing that matters.
Far as sex and drugs little has changed since 1969. You call that "another era", lol CK you're that young?
Ah Tina Louise from "Gilligan's Island". Such memories.

10 years, how about "The Thief and the Cobbler"?
It was in production from 1964 until 1995, a total of 31 years, this animated film holds the record for having the longest production time for a motion picture in history.
Thats just for a cartoon! Not even a remake!

31 years for a 72 minute (U.S.) animated movie!! Was it worth the time? Boggles the mind

Advantage to a mechanical dog, it doen't need to be house broken. Is that a mechanical Dalmation in the movie? LOL!
Fido....*SIT !!*

It might have been OK for its day but wouldn't such a movie be a flop today?
I never heard of the original until TCM showed it and I thought it was a bit of a bore - only was intrigue by the "futuristic" Hi Def TV shown in the movie. Got a laugh they took a torch to it.
Can just hear the teens talking. yeah yeah a movie about burning books, the Nazi's beat them to it, next subject. Lets watch "Avatar II"
Has all movies about optimism and hope gone out the window? All I've heard recently is "doom and gloom". Find it very ironic that the remake is planned for *2012.* I thought the recent presidential election suppose to bring in hope?? Good idea while it lasted. Go figure!
No, no Mr fireman, please don't burn my book, its my favorite!

What, only 2 movies a day? Thats not an addiction, lol. If that's an addiction then most of us must be a complete basket case.
According to this site
http://www.articlesbase.com/alternative-medicine-articles/tv-addiction-as-serious-as-drug-addiction-382100.html I guess we ALL are addicts!.
So how would one get help? Does a psychiatrist hypnotise someone with a pocket watch speaking a subliminal message "TCM is bad, TCM is bad, TCM is bad"?

I clicked on that link and nothing is there. I guess what we don't know won't hurt us. As long as there is no personal attacks on anyone I don't think you will have any problems returning. Yes I know the feeling though, I goof up my ownself about a couple of months ago by forgetting the death of a "celebrity" and unintentionaly made a "before and after makeup joke by photo". That really upset a few.
Like to say we sometimes slip and fall and need to pick ourselves up with better insight.
I notice that your problems was back in 2007 according to the dates, that's when a lot of fur was flying here. The TCM Web Administrator has much more stricter guidelines and she won't let this forum get that bad again. I didn't became a member until the worst was over, almost didn't became a member at all.
Since you made a former apology (even though I don't know what exactly for) Welcome Back.
Yes you will find a lot of members you knew gone or signed back on with a different user name to avoid troll attacks. Good luck - this is an improved TCM.com

I think there were few exceptions during the 1930's in which little people were treated with some dignity in acting roles. One example is a movie TCM showed about a year ago, "The Terror of Tiny Town" (1938). I thought that was a regular cowboy movie of the period starring little people only. Were there other movies made like this during the 1930's - 1940's time period? (in which little people were treated with respect).
Does anyone knows how did "The Terror or Tiny Town" faired at the box office considering how it was uniquely made? For horse lovers, it had ponies only.

LOL, actually its the other way around "The Pillsbury Doughboy, more than meets the eye".
I always Google gag lines to see what *pops* up!

Who have not associated Munchkins with "The Wizard of Oz"? I think its hard not to. Her activism *started* with "Under the Rainbow". She hates how little people are generally portrayed in movies. The very recent "Mini-me" in the Austin Powers movies is a good example, but are we complaining, no, Lol.

After finding this article which told me they got the plane *actually flying!!* I thought I go ahead and post a couple of photos of the German swept foward wing aircraft, it was called the Junkers JU-287
*Look Ma, no computers!*

Sitting on the tarmat
Remember that famous sighting by Kenneth Arnold back in 1947 (2 years AFTER WWII) he claim to see those fast moving objects which looked like "saucers skipping over water" which *started* the catch phrase "Flying saucer". (blame the newpapers of the time)
Compare that photo with the Hortons flying wings and draw your own conclusions. My conclusion is we hauled German tech back and secretly test it, (using Occam's Razor).
Did I just killed the myth??

Whats funny is that some of the newer, more recent documentaries or the "movie-like doc's" you see on the History and Science Channels are not only *good* but better made then the trash Hollywood has come out with during the past 10 years.
Still *worst* is those made for TV movies on the Sci Fi Channel. I think we are de-evolving.

Welcome to the boards. I can see you are new at this. Whenever you "revise" a thread, click on at the right and make your revisions (or editing) on the Post Message Reply.
The TCM Web Administrator will eventually delete one of the duplicate threads.
We are all sad to hear of Jean Simmons passing. RIP
I just did an Edit to give an example - you will see "Edited by xxxxx" and the date and time stamp at the bottom of the edited reply.

I think you have more then 2 line spaces or a space at the very beginning of your sentence.

I bet at the time of release, the title gave Senator McCarthy a heartattack!

I'm most certain a lot of men from different nationalities wants to see Sophia in *nothing.*
Are movies repeating more frequently?

My hobby requires me to repeat myself very often.
