Don't believe he was in that one, but he was in Wild Times, which has been showing on FMC lately.

I think they're both great (Howard and Bogart) and each part plays to their respective strengths - and the contrast between the two makes for some great drama. Bette Davis is great, too, but I've always found Leslie and Bogie to play the most memorable characters in the movie.

Shouldn't Wings be in the public domain by now?

I didn't know War Drums was available through Netflix's "Watch Instantly", but thanks for mentioning it, Wendy. I'll add it to my queue.

Absolutely one of the best! Great writing, and awesome photos/posters!

Featuring an African-American protagonist wouldn't do much good, if she (or some of the supporting characters) were mere stereotypes.
Of course, I don't think anybody should pass judgment on a movie they haven't even seen.
However, I don't think there is any denying that the way Disney resorted to racial stereotypes _in the past_ is a legacy that it must own up to, even if it merely reflected the widespread attitudes of most Americans at the time.

Surely, it must be a temporary glitch.

Do you have a favorite Ben Johnson performance?

So is anyone in the Chicago area planning to attend these screenings? ChiO? anyone?

There is at least one volume, that I know of:

Agree completely on that, Wendy.

> Excuse me, Holly, but limiting some photos means sometimes losing a great deal of what can be seen.... I realized this yesterday when posting a photo from Bombshell. It might make it completely impossible to see certain things that make the photo interesting.
Can you be more specific? I think in most photos, it is easier to actually appreciate the photo when you can look at the whole thing on your screen, without having to scroll across to be able to see everything.

> Holly, there are difficulties for members trying to size a picture smaller. It is a hard task. You probably don't know that, because you only post an occasional photo from the internet. The folks here who post and enjoy these large scale photos are members here too. Their opinions need to be taken into consideration, and that is why this thread is here. You are not the final arbiter of what TCM thinks, no matter how much you would like to be.
I don't think it is hard _at all_. All you need to do is add "width=600" or "height=600" at the end of the code. It really is very, very easy to do. And it is not my place to be the "final arbiter" of anything, I simply think that TCMWebAdmin has made the right decision, and I'm explaining why I think this is better. Nearly every message board I know has a limit of some sort on the size of photos posted, including, I believe, the other one frequented by many TCM viewers.
Having photos that can be seen in their entirety without having to scroll across isn't going to be the end of the world. It's probably going to make the threads much easier to appreciate, probably, because it is easier to see the whole photo all at once.
> I don't see why there couldn't be small galleries and large galleries. I want everyone to be able to come here without problems (or snarky comments by others).
I think that limiting the size of the photos could actually also make it easier for pages to load, especially for those without broadband connections.

This is the photo that mongo posted yesterday, resized to 600 pixels across:

Fred,
I didn't say that mongo caused any problems. Just pointed out that one of the photos that he posted yesterday seemed to be a lot wider than 600 pixels. It's probably not something he did intentionally - he might not have been aware of this new rule.
If you look at the thread that he keeps (under the same name) at the Silver Screen Oasis, you'll see that he resized that same photo of Walt Disney and the Barrymores:
http://silverscreenoasis.com/oasis3/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=2630&start=930
I think it's a _great_ photo, and it looks even better when it's resized as it is at the SSO thread.
Speaking of which - anyone here who posts at the SSO know what, if any, limits they have on the size of photos posted?
Disney faces new charges of racial stereotyping

I think it could be something as simple as what Warner Bros. has done with some of its "Looney Tunes" and other cartoons which feature racial stereotypes. And that is, I believe, to add a disclaimer at the start of the short, acknowledging that such stereotypes are wrong, but that they reflect the prevailing attitudes of the times.
Here is an example of one such disclaimer from a WHV collection:
And I don't think that is something Disney has done - but they have edited stuff out of their animated movies, without saying anything about it. Or, they have withhold stuff from home video release, as in the case of Song of the South.
