Good. More and more, the message boards were not monitored and were being used for selling bootleg copies of films.
Maybe some of the imbd message board disenfranchised alumni will gravitate here. Warning: thick skin required.

So, as compared to an incredibly republican store and where depending upon one's level within the chain of command, there'd be a clear separation of duties, right?!
(...sorry...couldn't resist)
..as compared to Whole Foods, where a very obvious manager throws his weight around like he's Donald Trump.

I think it went off the Cassandra Crossing.
As Ozzy intoned, "I'm going off the rails on the crazy train".

Once again...yeah, I know, huh.
(...and re the second part of your post...was that during some kind'a contest or somethin'?)
No, everyone had to order specific amounts of specific items for a picnic lunch. To be funny, I ordered 24 cheese sandwiches, and when they arrived, one of my campers told me that people are starving in Europe, so I better eat them.
-
REALLY?!
Then why do ya think you'll occasionally hear "CLEAN-UP ON AISLE SEVEN" over the loudspeaker while you're there, slayton???
(...somebody could slip and fall, and the store could face a major lawsuit in this litigious society we live in today, ya know)
The thing about TJs, it's an incredibly democratic store. As much as I go there, I still can't tell who are the managers and who are the low-level employees. I often see someone who I thought was a manager cleaning up aisle 7.

I think Berkeley is better known as a philosopher than as
a mathematician.
..but best known of all as a square.

Hmmmm...can't tell if THAT is worse than MY old thing I used to do as a kid, "culinary-wise".
Used to sneak into the fridge and grab a stick of butter and eat the whole thing. That's right, just a stick of butter.
(...probably mine, huh...at least uncooked oatmeal is high in fiber anyway, huh)
Your arteries must be harder than a rock by now. However, when I was a camp counselor, I once ate 24 cheese sandwiches at one sitting.

It's a very trivial matter, I know, but I often notice that you do this, DGF, using a quote to make a statement that has absolutely NOTHING to do with the quote involved.
You know, instead of clicking on the quote of someone (having nothing to do with your subject matter), you could just make a new reply to the thread.
I guess I first noticed this peculiarity of yours when you used quotes of statements I've made in order to discuss something having nothing to do with my quote.
My stream of consciousness often leads me from a statement to my post. Many others can not follow my train of thought.

I never got the Marx Brothers at all.
I like most of the funny guys of that era, grew up watching the three stooges. Like Chaplin, Keaton, Lloyd all those silent acts. Actually I caught some Abbott and Costello and others through old radio shows I have found and listen to.
But, Marx Brothers to me is like the over confident comedian who tells a joke he knows is funny, then waits for the laughter that doesn't always come.
I've never been a big fan of the Marx Brothers either, especially Chico and Harpo. I really liked Zeppo and Gummo, though.

At what point during the series was the opening theme changed form, "how will you make it on your own" (something like that), to "Who can turn the world on with her smile"? All the episodes I saw yesterday began with the former.

Thought you said that Trader Joe's you frequent was the second safest one in all the country.
Second MOST PROFITABLE one, but if you are a woman there, be alert for stray grapefruits.

I stumbled onto this by accident, but it appears that actress Mary Carlisle -- one of the last living links to the early years of Hollywood -- observed her 103rd birthday on Friday, February 3, 2017. According to some sources, she might even be 105.
Does anyone have any favorite movies starring Carlisle? And has TCM ever done a special retrospective of her films?
Where is Willard Scott, when we need him?

Strange how you would quote a non-Casablanca statement in order to make that statement, DGF, when there are so many Casablanca references to quote instead.
I quoted where I did, because I had been involved at that point, and, given the choice between me or the movie, I'll choose me every time.
-
Is it Suzanne Pleshette and Troy Donahue?
Yes. Your turn.
-
You
OOOOOOOH!!!!! GLENN Ford.
i'm sorry I got confused. I thought you meant JOHN Ford.You want a REALLY unpopular opinion. I can take or leave CASABLANCA, mostly leave.

That's a neat story.
In my high school, I was in the habit of speaking to everyone. I was in a variety of different kinds of classes, so I was fortunate that I knew all the different kinds of students-- because I took the college prep classes, the business classes and the music classes.
Years later I would meet someone I knew and we would start talking about high school. I would mention this or that person. And they never heard of that person because they weren't in that strata of classes.
I had a lot of different interests, so I took different kinds of classes.
It made me kind of sad that some people stayed so isolated in their own small groups.
You spoke to both jocks and nerds? Unusual.

Because during that era, men simply didn't treat ladies like that
*Gable slapped a couple, but this was stunning
Check out *Jim & her in 1934's "Lady Killer" (***) Vintage *Cagney & he abused her a lot more then "PE"
it was also pre producton code-(i.e. Will Hayes-(l879-l954) & they got away with a lot
They couldn't even show toilets on screen during that era?
Being the gent he was though, after any rough house w/a lady, he'd immediately apolgize
Today, I see women getting grapefruits in the face virtually every day.

This is a good question-- I thought about it all day long.
The couple is the Oscar award- winning Dorothy Malone
And the hypnotically handsome Jacques Bergerac.
You wasted a whole day. Sorry. The two of them had different hair color. One was a Blonde. The other was a Brunette.
-
DING-DING. we have a winner.
now THAT Is an unpopular opinion!
THE GAZEBO is an example. I thought he was very good.

Ya know Vautrin, considering these distasteful childhood incidences you endured at your breakfast table took place in the '50s, what you SHOULD have told your mom back then was...
"I want my maypo!"
It's Cream of Wheat weather.

I've never posted anything on IMDB, but I like to read some of the comments left by people about a movie or an actor or actress. It's probably the type of movie or people I'm into reading about, but I notice a lot of the posts are very, very old...like at least 3 or 4 years old and sometimes even older than that. Many sports websites I frequent are bypassing direct posting on their sites from a PC by its members too. For instance, comments on ESPN can only be made via Facebook. Comments at CBS Sports come from direct posting, Facebook, and Twitter. Makes you wonder how soon this site might follow suit.
I often wonder about the number of accounts on this TCM website, and how it correlates to 'active posters' here. I'm guessing a vast majority of people who have accounts here tend to read various threads at TCM.com, rather than comment on them. If not, then age will catch up to us all, and the last poster(s) will be faced with the sad prospect of being forced out of the bar, even though they're not blitzed--it's just that it's time to go!
Facebook is devouring everything in its path.

Not sure if this is such an "unpopular opinion" here, MM.
Can't tell you how many times I've read someone around here say they can not understand how Glenn Ford became a leading man/A-List actor.
(...and I'd be one of 'em)
I think Ford is better when he did comedy.

For those interested and who get the channel, Decades is running the MTM show for its wknd marathon this wknd (am sure no coincidence). Starts Sat. at 1pm and runs through Mon. morning. I know where I'll be!!! From looking at the plots they dont seem to be running in chronological order or anything.
Isn't it more satisfying to viewers to run them chronologically?

William Wellman the director said he had always wanted to hit his ex wife in the kisser with a grapefruit, but figured he would pay for it in the divorce. So when he directed "Public Enemy" Mae got the fruit by proxy. Wellman said he had also considered a omelet but went with the grapefruit....That was according to Wellman...
I wonder whether grapefruit sales increased after the release of PUBLIC ENEMY.
Actress Mary Tyler Moore (1936-2017)

I enjoyed watching the marathon on Decades this weekend, but I can blame it for missing much of the second half of the Super Bowl. When Atlanta got way ahead, I switched over to MTM. Luckily, I turned the game back on with three minutes left. Wow.
