As I said just a couple of posts down, "I don't recall if ISZ was among them."

I'll have to moil that one over.

TB, I think TCM has shown Madchen in Uniform. Arturo, I saw a film probably from the 90s, made in Mexico, doc, or semi doc, That was about a town in Mexico that had a lot of cross-dressing gay guys, who were well accepted by the town. Wish I could remember the town, or the name of the film. It would be great for a LGBT series. Also, I saw another doc, set in Burma, about the "Nats." Here's what the wiki says about them: Nats have human characteristics, wants, and needs. They are flawed, having desires considered derogatory and immoral in mainstream Buddhism.

Finance, you should write that one up in 20th Century Vole.

Geeze... please, someone help us out here. Find out when it was that TCM celebrated Cinerama, and give us a list of the films they showed. I'd do it myself, if I knew how. I think they showed ~ 6, and I guess some were musicals. I watched several.

No Programming In Remembrance of D-Day?

My dad served in the Army Air Corps too, in the Pacific. He enlisted and wanted to be a pilot. But, when they found out that he was colorblind, they wanted him to be a bombardier, because he could see through camouflage. He told me that he didn't think there would be too many jobs for bombardiers after the war. So, he became a mechanic. After the war, he studied engineering.

When it went off, he dove under the tabl -

Programing Idea: "Mistaken Identity"

Hollywood's depictions of death on screen

I can't remember the title, but there is a modern Hollywood film in which medical students take turns bringing each other to the edge of death, just for the thrill of it. Now, that's Hollywood! -
A year or so ago, TCM showed a lot of smilebox Cinerama. I don't recall if ISZ was among them. To me, the best thing about ISZ is Patrick McGoohan. But, since it was Howard Hughes' favorite film, I guess I'd rather see it frownboxed.

I use bold for film titles, italics for TV and song titles. When I abbreviate film titles, I use the same case as when spelling them out: GwtW. Makes the lesser know ones easier to interpret, IMO.

Trying to recall TCM videos
ValentineXavier replied to TheGayDivorcee's topic in Information, Please!
On my screen, Jezebel's was below yours. Does that mean you can show the posts oldest first? I know that a lot of us have been asking for that!
