Walter Cronkite's funeral to honor CBS newsman
NEW YORK ? A funeral for Walter Cronkite, widely considered the premier TV journalist of his time, will be a private family service.
But the ceremony, to be held Thursday afternoon at St. Bartholomew's Church in midtown Manhattan, where the CBS newsman's family worshipped for decades, is likely to draw scores of his loved ones, friends and colleagues.
Although the service is planned as a traditional burial service from the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, announced speakers include "60 Minutes" commentator Andy Rooney and longtime Cronkite producer Sanford Socolow, as well as son Chip Cronkite.
Music is expected to include a jazz band's rendition of "When the Saints Go Marching In."
For his reporting, Cronkite came to be called "the most trusted man in America." He anchored "The CBS Evening News" from 1962 until 1981. Cronkite died Friday at his Manhattan home at age 92.
A separate memorial will be held within the next few weeks at New York's Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts.

Or they can fill the gap by showing an old "one reeler".
One nice example is an Ub Iwerks cartoon short, Flip the Frog's "Spooks" (1930)
There must be tons of these one reelers in film vaults. Better time spent.

Hey where did you find the secret recipe for "Elly May Clampett's Chocalate Cake"?

I still remember the days before videotape when TV stations used the "Telecine" system in which there was a 16mm projector / TV camera setup. It was the ONLY way to show movies. Back then beggers couldn't be choosers.
Here's an example

ha, if you ever saw the silent print of "Captain January" 1924 you would probually jump out the window.

Lol, that sounds like the name of a NAVTEX thread.

Will the first episode have Leonardo DiCaprio being crucified along the Appian Way ?

Considering it was also 1,000 years after The Viking Leif Ericsson landed in the Americas.
As Leif would have said, what am I, chopped goat meat? I was here first!

Is Dorothy one lean mean fighting machine in the game. If so, what are the weapons at her disposal? Is she the Lieutenant Ellen Ripley type of charactor?

I just saw something that topped this day off. The guys on "Mythbusters" just BUSTED the so called proof that the Apollo conspiracy theorest had that NASA faked it.
Ha, that one experiment was an eye opener. The American flag actually "waved" harder and longer in a VACUUM.
Maybe those CT idiots can go and get a life now. Those guys on Mythbusters are so cool.
The NASA Channel did let me down in that they didn't show the entire Eagle lunar landing and EVA like they did 5 years ago.

The only thing I didn't like was that there was no continuety between scenes, it jumped from one mission to another - NOT in order when they actually happened.
During the space walk scene, did you saw the glove flew out the hatch? Its *still* in orbit today.
The famous Apollo 11 1201 alarm is the "Dsky" computer overloading from too much information. It has the computing power of todays digital watches.

On the History Channel they presented "Live from ' 69 : Moon Landing" Its some of the original news footage of the first lunar landing. It had some very nice news clips of Walter Cronkite anchoring the Apollo 11 mission. Very nice.

Thats what happens when TCM installed the function.

"The Long Hot Summer" (1958) could make a good substitute though. Must be the heat.

Funny, "God's Little Acre" is what I saw on the very end of "Knowing". Wonder if thats a new beginning or "here we go again".

Just wondering why Mary Pickford is on the "0 list"? Most of her acting was done during the silent era and the first Academy Awards wasn't presented until 1929. Its no surprise that she wasn't nominated.

Its all about 'star power" the only constant of the past 80+ years.

For being 77, she is still beautiful. Now thats what you call a "Golden Girl"! Lol.

It looks like its stiff competition between studios for the biggest stars during the 1940's. MGM at least didn't lose Greer Garson. 1942 was called "The Year of the Greer". The death of Thalberg seems to be a bigger lost than any one star and MGM couldn't find a proper "replacememt"
Their downfall, like some members here have pointed out in the past was caused by mismanagement.
Here is a nice site that explains the problems of MGM Studios.

Early this afternoon I was trying to reply to the Marilyn Monroe thread and whenever I tried to , I keep getting the "Page not Found".
I made several attempts by Refreshing, going back, closing the browser and disconnecting the modem and reconnecting, NOTHING got through! When I finally gave up, TikiSoo's last reply on that thread was the last post I saw and I turned off the computer.
When I got back on around 11:15pm to my SHOCK every attempt I previously made *got posted!!*
Does anyone knows why this happened?
I know from now on *do not make a second attempt* to post a message after seeing "Page not Found".
I apologize for the multiple postings on that thread even though I didn't see any posting I tried to make at that time.

According to this site, the deleted gas chamber scene was filmed but was cut from the production release. Just hope that its still around and may be restored. You will have to scroll down half way to read the article. The screenplay can be downloaded from there, neat.
