*If my scheduled week is after one of those dates can I mark the movie as p/s?* The answer had better be yes, because I've done it in the past!

Yay! Hopefully we'll see the return of those who skipped the last contest? ;-)

*...priceless...* Isn't that what the Walmart moms say about their kids right after the brats run over your ankle with a shopping cart?

Any special reason why this thread was started on a Friday, making it unlikely that it would be deleted by TCM until Monday? Just a thought... No longer being affiliated with any party, as they're all worthless, I'll offer one observation. I call it "count the flags". Having lived in and among the military my entire life, I've judged (probably unfairly) presidents' performances and popularity by the number of flags flying in my neighborhood, made up mostly of active duty and retired military as well as civil servants. I can say without a doubt that the last two years is the only time *ever* I've not seen any American flags flying daily (they still go up on Memorial and Veterans Day) outside several homes on every block. *Not a single flag.* Lots of POW/MIA flags, but that's all. Couldn't say that even during the Nixon or Carter years. All this in Bush's *home* state of Texas...

In between fits of sneezing, blurry vision, and hacking up my left lung, I'll do my best to come up with something.

Just seeing if it works in this forum. And I can't sleep at night without knowing everyone's opinion...

I can't think of any that show quite as much uninterrupted music, but many of the big band films TCM showed last month ( http://www.tcm.com/thismonth/article/?cid=199314 ) had plenty of performances, plus they showed a whole bunch of big band shorts (I still have Betty Hutton's *Old Man Mose* running in an endless loop through my head). My dream month on TCM! And many of the WWII morale boosters usually had *at least* one or two popular songs. None of them live, of course, but it's always great to see the performers.

*YOU figure out which one is which.* I think *one* is the key word here.

If I said "I'm here" regarding September 1st, I'd be a time traveler, Kyle. And if that were the case, I wouldn't go 2 weeks into the future, I'd go back 60+ years. Such deep thoughts from such a shallow man as I...

I'm there.

You're slipping, Fred. Isn't this one on your list? *It Happened on 5th Avenue* (1947): http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=79512

*The Five Pennies* (1959): http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=75067 My dad and I used to watch this one. And TCM has shown it too.

*Now I just wish TCM would run it.* 3:15PM EST,October 18, 2008. Be there! :-)

Where to post...where to post... The trend of competing threads has carried over into new schedules? Very nice to honor Charles Laughton, and a pretty solid Veterans Day tribute, too. I'll have to look more closely at the schedule later for hidden gems. Shockingly, *BC* is nowhere to be found. ;-)

I am Mr. Neely, forever riding around St. Louis in the ice wagon drawn by my trusty girl horse Robin.

My gut tells me all those "people" are probably the same person conversing and arguing with him(her)self, reminiscent of frequent occurrences around here. TCM could find out by checking IP addresses. Closing it isn't the solution, mandatory membership on the Boards would probably cut out a lot of it.

*My Bill* (1938)? http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=3269

I generally dislike epics, but I do love the much-maligned *Lord Jim* , my favorite Peter O'Toole performance.

*...Texans' well-known fondness for guns, unregulated pollution...* Hey, *your* wildfires pollute much more than *our* wildfires! ;-)

Maybe *Thrill of a Romance* (1945)? http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title.jsp?stid=460&atid=24627&category=overview

Never mind...

*...who you think is Alexander Hamilton.* Message Board rules prevent me from doing so.

I wanna play. Can I be Aaron Burr?

Said I wouldn't get drawn in, but yet again I was...

Every time we respond to or complain about his (and others') threads, he wins. The ignore feature is useless unless everyone *literally* ignores him (them). That means zero replies. It's taken me years to realize this, and I sometimes break down and respond, but it's the only way it will stop. Same goes for the *Suggest A Movie* mess.
