I don't know. They both look like Hedy Lamar to me.

*Caca-covered Bruce Willis, I love it! Fred, you and I should get a small story credit, somewhere, when they do the film! *Caca is Spanish slang, and while I'm not certain of the correct spelling, Ks are rarely used in Spanish. Perhaps if Arturo reads this, he'll set us straight.

CF, thanks for letting me know. Sorry my idea was a bust. I just checked, and I can't get daily or weekly schedules past 3/14 either. My coming months links still work though. I've already forgotten what forum someone posted them in, but the "Monthly Schedule" in the drop-down on the TCM home page still works, displaying March. Well, except for 3/31...

There is Luis Bunuel's *Los Olvidados*, aka The Young and the Damned, made in 1950, set in Mexico City. It focuses on kids, good and bad, trying to make it in the slums. I don't recall any livestock. There is a Brazilian film, from 1981, *Pixote*, but it is in color.

Slaytonf has posted there, presumably after posting threads identical to this in several places.

I mostly use the monthly schedules, so most of my comments will pertain to them. It was noted in another forum that the films listed as letterboxed seem to be the films that aren't letterboxed, and vice versa. Obviously, that needs to be corrected. In another forum, someone posted links to schedules from upcoming months, and they work. I asked where they got them, and they did not reply. I assume you are working on that, and will hopefully post some clickable links in the old location, or better yet, on the home page, not in a submenu. Like many here, (probably most,) I would like to be able to see the actors and a brief synopsis, without having to click each film, so that they can be printed out with a month's schedule, and I can scan it faster. Perhaps a good compromise would be to keep the clickable monthly schedule as it is, but when one clicks "PDF," or "Print" have the schedule display as it once did, with actors and synopses, and printable in more like 26 pages, as it once was, not the 40 it is now, even with the reduced information. I do like it that when one displays a monthly schedule now, the top tool bar remains, and the "back" button is available. Not so, with the old monthly schedule. Comments on things other than the monthly schedules: I have Firefox, a wide screen monitor, and I think the OS is Windows 7. I have no problems with any overlap, 1/4 inch or otherwise, anywhere on the site. I like the forums a bit better now, they are clearer. I do wish there was an option to go to the first unread thread. I was having problems with the amount of pages on a thread not matching with the number of posts per page I had selected. It would bounce around. I would have trouble going from one page to another, since the page count kept changing. I have set to 25 posts per page, and the problem seems to be gone. To those with time zone problems - have you set your time zone in your control panel, and made sure to save the change? Perhaps that would cure your problem. I can't test that, since I'm on EDT.

You nailed me.

Of course these days, such an ending would be used without hesitation. They should do a remake, set on the East Coast. They could call it *The Boids*, and have the Brooklyn Bridge covered with birds. I would kind of miss the paint-on-film animation, though.

Didn't you watch *Le Proces de Jeanne d'Arc* ? It is stunning, and based on the actual trial transcripts.

That was Swimmer Under the Stars... She's wet, I say, she's all wet! Seriously, I don't begrudge those who like her getting to see her films, but I, too, think I see them run pretty regularly. Not necessarily always for a special occasion.

I'll give you that. Some are relatively short. But at least we are having fun composing the lists and then talking about them in a rational, thoughtful and fun way as opposed to the conversations on this thread. Actually, I did post a couple of short lists, early in the thread. I realize that even though I don't enjoy reading a three or four page list, or even one much over one page, others do enjoy reading and posting such lists. So, please note, I did not write one word asking anyone NOT to post long lists. OTOH, much as I enjoy rational conversations, I also enjoy some inane, and to me fun, ones.

Well, if you want the job, you better be ropin' strays, and shootin' sidewinders too.

For years, Maltin's review of *The Fugitive Kind* said "this film goes nowhere." I wanted to shake the jerk, and say this is a film about people who are going nowhere! But, at least he gave it 2.5 stars. 1.5 for *Blade Runner* is an abomination. As I recall 1.5 was as low as he went.

The first two times I tried to watch *Eraserhead* I fell asleep. Finally made it through on the third try, and liked it.

*Johnny Nobody* *The Devils*

Wasn't it on TCM Underground, a few months back?

Definitely the best giant alien carrot film ever made. In color, is James Arness orange?

Post it! The lists have gotten so long there that I don't actually read them, I just count how many pages they are.

*Zardoz* is one of my favorite scifi films. Maybe you don't like it because of the way they portray old geezers.

Ouch! There are three of these threads, and I posted in another one. *Zardoz*
