Capuchin

The TCM page about tonight's theme, the Primetime Grid, and the Monthly Schedule all show only five 'Road' movies. But both my DirecTV onscreen guide and IMDB's page for *Road to Hong Kong* show it being scheduled for 4:15am tonight. I'm wondering if this was a schedule change, and which (the original or the new one) has *RtHK*

According to the TCM site, there are five (5) 'Road' movies tonight: Road to Singapore (1940) Road to Zanzibar (1941) Road to Morocco (1942) Road to Utopia (1946) Road to Bali (1952), followed by My Favorite Brunette (1947). But my DirecTV onscreen guide shows *Road to Hong Kong* instead of *My Favorite Brunette* Was this a last-minute schedule change? Anyone know anything about this?

Some years ago, when I was forced to temporarily subscribe to cable, I asked a customer service rep which tier I'd have to buy in order to get TCM. She didn't know offhand, so she pulled out a brochure which broke down their channels by category. She looked at one page, shook her head, and said they didn't have it. "But we have all these other ones," she said as she handed me the brochure. She had it open to the page of home shopping channels!

Instead of more threads about repeats, I think we need more rants about new movies. I don't think I've see one of those for at least two days.

> {quote:title=FredCDobbs wrote:}{quote} > My problem usually happens when I click on a Google search link. The problem may be one of so many things that a list of them would strangle the bandwidth. I have few problems with IMDB (at least computer-wise) running IE7 under WXP2. You might try right-clicking and 'open in new window' for Google links. If that works, you probably have a corrupted cookie somewhere. When was the last time you ran a clean-up program?

I have good news and bad news . . . Good news -- For 2005 and onward, I have a database I can search to find the year(s) a movie was shown on TCM, then I can search that year's database to find the month(s), then that month's database to find the day. Bad news -- you can't have it. I estimate I've spent over 100 hours (30-45 minutes at a time) compiling those databases. I don't feel I can share them for two reasons -- 1) The information was copied from published sources. While I believe I have the right to do this for my own use as an archive, it's probably a copyright violation if I distribute it. 2) I have my own arcane way of doing things (it might take hours to teach someone how to find anything in my databases), and I only included the information I want (which is why I'd have to go through the heirarchy of databases to find the day -- that info isn't in the multi-year or year databases). But not to fear! I didn't bring this up just to tickle your nose. If you use Windows, you can make a searchable 'database-of-sorts' fairly easily (you can probably also do it under Linux or Mac, but I can't give instructions for those). Find a site that lists old TCM schedules. Save the pages as text files. For Internet Explorer (IE7) you use: "File -> Save As..." and then when it asks for page and location, you use the "Save as Type:" to select "Text File (.txt)" Once you have each month's schedule as a single text file, you can then use the Windows 'Search' feature. "Start -> Search -> All files and folders" then "*.txt" in "All or part of the file name" the name of the movie in "A word or phrase in the file" and the folder where you saved the webpages in "Look in" When you open that file, you can use the "Edit -> Find" function to locate the movie. It's a little clumsy, but it'll take a lot less time than assembling a true database, and if it's your only option . . .

Sony built 3 special ambulances for the movie *Ghostbusters* (three were needed to assure that at least one would always be ready for a shot). One of them, with all the documentation and autographed by the stars, just crossed the Barrett-Jackson auction block, selling for $80,000 (plus 10% buyers commish). While that's a lot less than some of the BatMobiles have sold for in the past, and I do really like the movie, I just can't see myself ever buying such a thing. You?

LonesomePolecat -- Great Schedule! I particularly like **** -- you've got some of my favorite guilty pleasures. And you can never go wrong with the Muppets! Wonderful all the way around.

Since I finished mine, I've been kicking around a few "maybe I should have . . ." ideas. What if SF and I teamed up to do one? Two halves making up a different whole? Huh, huh, huh? (smiley)

I am so very happy that the ones I want to see are on during the day since, obviously, the J-B auction will be taking up my time in the evening (I've watched every year since it began being televised).

> {quote:title=AmandaHallay wrote:}{quote} > My fave bit was when they predicted that cats would live in skyscrapers (by then, filled with plants and birds) and eventually learn how to FLY to glide from building to building! Ha ha. Don't know how accurate that is...but it's a lovely image! I once saw a cat fall into a bathtub that had four inches of water in it, and he came out with only about an inch of his legs wet. If they can reverse direction without hitting bottom, them levitating/flying is not out of the question.

I think they were smart to leave the "where'd everybody go" question in limbo. Any scenario they came up with would have people saying, "I'm an expert in the field and know that wouldn't kill/remove/dissipate more than X% of the population . . . ." This way they can concentrate on post-armageddon effects without criticism over their selected method of armageddon. It plays to the subconscious fear/desire/myth/plotline of "what if I was the last man on Earth?" (Which is second only to the subsconscious thought of being the last man on Earth after all the women suddenly became nymphomaic.) I just wish they'd have episodes which concentrate on one specific area and focus on the first fifty years. If you're the last person in, say, Rapid City, SD, how long before the electricity goes out, the faucets run dry, the jackalopes overrun the east side of town, etc. A follow-up series I'd like to see is "10 Years Later" -- what the effects of sitting unused for a decade are on common objects such as car batteries, antibiotics, gasoline, etc. and what, if anything, can be done to restore them for use. Has anyone figured out how long a DVD sitting in a sealed package would last?

Unfortunately I didn't remember enough about it to start a thread to suggest people watch it. I certainly didn't remember the ending, but it isn't the sort of thing a person would normally forget, is it? I only hope it's scheduled again soon. I'm not a big fan of Dennis or Newley, but it is a powerful film.

SansFin -- Great schedule! I admit I was a little lost on your Sunday daytime schedule before I read your programming notes and saw the progression. I laughed at *Speaking of Ex-Wives* leading off with *The Devil's Daughter.* Your other themes ranged from cute to inspired. I'd love that Saturday! The way you worked in so many shorts is nice. I try to put some in mine, but they're so problematic. You'll probably take some heat for scheduling *Chocolat* because it's so very new. I agree it's a great movie and rightly deserves to be called a classic, but some people in this forum are very touchy about dates. I'm tempted to say it's a great first effort, but I don't think it needs that qualification -- it's a great schedule by any measure!

> {quote:title=LonesomePolecat wrote:}{quote} > Capuchin----awesome schedule!! I love you for programming "Babette's Feast"---one of the best foreign films ever. And Toshiro Mifune?! What a clever and worthy choice! Awesome! Thanks! One of the reasons I pushed myself to finish quickly was that I wanted to use *Babette's Feast* and *Nine 1/2 Weeks* and *A Feast at Midnight* but I was afraid they are so obvious for a Food theme that everyone would schedule them, and my entry would look like I was copying. As regards Toshiro Mifune -- while TCM deserves kudos for their SOTMs, they're always rather mainstream choices. I'd like to see something other than the standard Hollywood type. Hope your schedule is coming along well!

As lzcutter said, usually Filmlover does them at the end of the challenge, and I'm curious how his might be different. Hope you're having fun with your schedule!

Not wanting to steal Filmlover's thunder, but I did this during breaks . . .

One reason I finished quickly is that I've been spending a lot of time lately combining some older databases to make a single decent database to use for future challenges, so I've gone through the complete list of movies in each library several times looking for duplicates. While I probably couldn't name more than a few dozen off the top of my head, they are apparently in my subconscious and surfaced when I needed them. Another factor is that I use a CAD program for arranging and rearranging movies according to length, which speeds things up a lot compared to pencil and paper and many, many erasers. If anyone wants to check for overlaps or wrong starting times, you can look at: http://user29344qw.jymes.com/TCM/C15Sched.htm Also, because of my insomnia, I was able to pull some long hours. In addition, I was quite motivated to be the first to post a schedule because my food themes seem quite obvious to me, and I didn't want to have to start over on them from scratch because someone beat me to it. According to rough time-keeping, this schedule me took about 46 hours.

Capuchin's Programming Notes -- I feel that Nov, 2007 was one of the best months on TCM because it was filled with series (Torchy Blaine, Philo Vance, etc.). Since it's been done, by itself it's not a theme worthy of the challenge, so I put a twist to it -- one day of a series and the next day movies made by stars of the television incarnation of that series. Having the stars be a theme let me do some mildly wild things, like having Bride of the Gorilla and Touch of Evil or The Old Dark House and Breakfast at Tiffany's on the same day (I really, really like being perverse). Silent Sunday's Siegfried's Death is special because it's Fritz Lang before Metropolis. Victor Sjostrom is vastly underrated. I wanted to show one with him as an actor and one as director, but the times didn't fit to show him at his best, so here he's an actor and on Thursday morning he's a director (He Who Gets Slapped). (I know I'm technically misspelling his name and the titles of his movies, but I'm not sure that using extended characters isn't part of the old problem of challenge pages not loading properly, so I erred on the side of caution.) Monday night's theme came about because in fiddling with the database, I wound up with a page that had both The Trouble with Harry and Diabolique. I felt it was fated that I figure out how to show them together. My first food night -- I'm not a big fan of modern movies. Anything made after 1960 usually leaves me cold. This night has five exceptions to that rule. None of them pay attention to the government's food pyramid or recommended daily allowances; they celebrate food's non-nutritional goodness. For Richard Chamberlain, I wanted to show The Madwoman of Chaillot, but I understand there's some rights issue keeping it out of circulation. I don't feel I was settling for second best with Twilight of Honor with Claude Rains. Humpday Horror came about because I love Cat People and happened to see The Haunted Mouse in a list of short films. I originally intended it to be a night of cats, but something just didn't feel right about what I came up with, so I deleted that and went with classic horror. The birthday tributes stem from the fact that I've been on a Toshiro Mifune kick for a couple of years, so I wanted to share some of his lesser-known movies. Since his birthday is April first, it seemed a natural time to showcase him then, and I thought to do a whole day of other stars having that somewhat-odd birthday. The five extra premieres from a preferred studio was a godsend (thanks lzcutter!) because it let me put in Ellery Queen with Ralph Bellamy and Margaret Lindsay, one of my favorite series. The food chain revisited -- as soon as I saw the challenge theme of Food, Glorious Food, the first thing that popped into my head was Little Shop of Horrors. Sweeny Todd was close on its heels. Filling out the evening with people-as-food was the easiest to schedule. The only problem was that Soylent Green is an obvious, and much-loved, choice, but I couldn't fiddle the times to accommodate it without using a third-rate short movie. Saturday night might seem like a rip-off of this month's Soviet theme, but it's actually more of a counterpoint. When I first saw TCM's schedule, I loved it (naturally) but it also saddened me because some of my favorite 'Russian' movies were absent. I'm really rather surprised that Anastasia has never been an Essential. Overall, this was weird because I've been jotting down ideas for months, but the only ones I ended up using were 'series' and 'tv stars in real movies,' and I had to combine those two to make it legitimate.
