Twenty movies in that time have dates of 2000 and newer. This represents less than 00.2% of the movies scheduled. I believe the majority of them have been part of Februarys' Oscar tribute. I do not mind an infrequent newer movie which the programmers feel is relevant. I do not mind *Infernal Affairs* (2002) as it is a good movie which is more than its genre and it is not easily available elsewhere. I hope you find time to watch it as it is not a movie which should be judged by its blurb. The acting and sensibilities are on a par with older classic movies.

May I suggest you check the schedules for other cable channels? There are many which carry such modern movies.

> {quote:title=molo14 wrote:}{quote} > Would Dracula's daughter have a reflection? I believe that many woman would like to become a vampire if it were not for fear of losing their mirrors. You would no longer have to get up at dawn or cook meals. You would not gain weight or age. You get to bite men. No friend could expect you to be their bridesmaid because that would mean entering a church. It is the perfect reason also to not have a nine-to-five job! Not being able to touch-up their make-up or check the drape of their hair is the deal-killer for many women!

There is no question that my favorite is: *Camelot* (1967). It has great personality in showing how the King is thrust into situations not of his asking or making. I like very much: *The Sword in the Stone* (1963). It is very down-to-earth and quite comic.

It seems to me that it ended a full minute early. I am sure nothing of import was lost but it does leave me feeling unsatisfied.

I believe it is the tradition on New Year's Day to have the year's worst hangover. I must wonder who decided to schedule that day full of loud musicals.

The forensic scientist Abby on NCIS wore one in an episode of that show. I did not think a person of that body type could pull it off but she was perfect in all ways!

He spoke in His own voice to the Patriarchs. He sent His Son as a messenger. He gave Joseph Smith a book. Will His next communication be by e-mail or Twitter?

> {quote:title=SonOfUniversalHorror wrote:}{quote} > Strangely enough, an IMDB character search for God only turns up George Burns and one other person. Odd there aren't more results on IMDB for a God character search. I had to do an IMDB.com search as I did not remember how to spell Aldo Giuffr?'s name or know the acceptable English translation of the name of the movie in which he played God. It was easy for me to find this page: http://www.imdb.com/character/ch0026790/ It lists three-hundred-and-fifty roles. It includes many television shows but many of the listings are for movies.

I believe great power has always included some measure of bloodshed. The Pirate King in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance sings: "Oh, better far to live and die" which includes the lines: "I sink a few more ships, it's true, Than a well-bred monarch ought to do; But many a king on a first-class throne, If he wants to call his crown his own, Must manage somehow to get through More dirty work than ever +I+ do"

Rex Ingram played: "De Lawd" in *The Green Pastures* (1936). Aldo Giuffr? played: "Gott" in *When Men Carried Clubs and Women Played Ding-Dong* (1971).

I believe most of her important movies were produced at 20th Century Fox. It is beyond TCM's power to influence what Fox issues or what they are allowed to carry of Fox's movies.

I should warn all of a game called: Same Game. It is included with many forms of Linux. It is the most evil of games because it is so simple and it seems so easy but it eats time like a wolf among lambs and it always leaves you one "I should have done ... instead of ..." away from a perfect game.

Our power was off for a while. It was not the storm. It was an idiot with a chain saw dropping a tree onto a power line. The workers were on it quickly and worked very well as a trained team with each doing their assigned part at the proper moment. It still took time and I missed most of two movies. I asked when they were finished what they thought of the Frankenstorm and they said that nearly half their staff was preparing to go to areas with storm damage if they are asked. The weather bureau is saying we have winds of fifteen miles an hour and gusts of forty miles an hour now and it is actually less than ten miles an hour with no gusts at all reporting stations within sixty miles. I hope all of you button up your homes as best you may and sit back and relax until the end of the storm leaves you well and happy.

Neither The Invisible Man nor Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde could be held accountable, could they? And if they were, F. Lee Bailey would get them off. All medicines can have unpredictable side-effects. I do not believe they could be held accountable for things which they had no reason to expect to happen. The "safe" way for them to discover any side-effects of their serums would have been unspeakably evil animal testing! They may have killed a few people but at least they did not hurt any bunnies.

I lean towards Fredric March, Toshir? Mifune and Steve McQueen. I like a man's face to show strength and character.

> {quote:title=laurelnhardy wrote:}{quote} > I am set up to receive an email if they schedule any of the three movies but I have never received an email. You may wish to check to see if that is active. *Penguin Pool Murder* (1932) aired on Wednesday, October 3rd.

I believe none of the classic monsters were evil-hearted. Those such as Godzilla, Mothra and mutated insects did what is natural for animals who are in a strange place and are hungry and are then attacked. Dracula and The Wolfman did not ask to become the way they were and they did only what they had to do to survive. I believe The Invisible Man is the only one which was self-inflicted in any sense and even that was done in the name of scientific research for the greater good.

> {quote:title=molo14 wrote:}{quote} > That is good advice. I am a natural worrier but I will try to heed what you say. I had a special job when there was to be a storm. My father would shut the shutters over all the windows and doors and I was to look with great care to see if there was even a tiny gap between the bottom of the shutters and the sills. The house was not pronounced safe until I had assured them there was no way the storm could come in and get us. My pay for that job was that my grandmother's best quilt was laid in the nook between the oven and a brick wall and was to be my bed for the night. It was the most cozy and warm place in the world. I could hear the wind howl in the chimney. It was a comforting sound as the wind is a wolf and it is silent when it is stalking its prey and it howls when it sees it has no way to get to you. The rain pouring down is God dumping tubs of water to wash the world clean. The least disturbance of my world or the health of my friends will make me fret through a night but the sounds of a storm comfort me and I sleep well within my little eggshell.

> {quote:title=markbeckuaf wrote:}{quote} > Lots of twists and turns, but am I alone in wondering if there was gonna be just ONE more twist along the way before it ended? I anticipated the deaths because of having watched *Deathtrap* (1982) soon before watching this movie the first time. I saw the possibility of one more death but there was no other character so strong as to be worthy of being last-man-standing.

I do very much hope that all are well, safe and happy. I hope also that you take comfort in your preparations and sleep well with no anxiety or worry of what is to come. It is never good to fret about things you can not control. I believe it is better to button up the house as best you may and then rest quietly. You will be happier and healthier and better able to confront any problems caused by the storm if you do what you can in advance and then be busy being happy until there is reason for action.

This evening's science fiction will surely get all groovin' ! I love this type of movie which does not ask anything of the viewer but to sit back and take it all in. I like George Sanders very much and so Monday will be a treat. The only bad thing is that I see they have not corrected the blurb for: *The Saint in London* (1939). I do not understand why they put his first movie as the Falcon as the last of the three Falcon movies they are airing. I am shamed to say that there are some movies on Wednesday which I have never seen. I will surely correct that! On Thursday is: *7 Faces of Dr. Lao* (1964) which is one of my guilty pleasures. It is a joy to see Tony Randall being so eccentric. I may watch *Wuthering Heights* (1939) as I have recently read Lakshmi Krishnan's essay: Vampiric Selves and Gothic Doubleness in Wuthering Heights and it has given me an insight which had eluded me. I surely do hope you do watch *The Divorce Of Lady X* (1938) on Saturday evening! It is a joy to see a confident and suave serious actor as befuddled and naive in a light comedy. I hope you are truly prepared to get your groove on!
