I believe that was a given as it is generally considered a vacuum.

This matter would be of very grave concern to me if I knew who that person is and if I cared of: Oscars and if I had recent lobotomy.

I haven't seen DREAMS/SNY.
I almost broke my "no animation" rule to put NIGHTMARE BEFORE CHRISTMAS on my list.
Sny (1993) is available for free viewing in full on: YouTube. Link is available at the link I provided for my other comments concerning the movie. In other place in that thread are directions for having: English subtitles.
I do not know how to explain description for this movie on: imdb.com. Review does give some information.
I must wonder if your: "no animation rule" has effect on placement in your lists of: Gary Cooper movies.

If "Likes" mean anything to any of you, I apologize, but for some reason I'm getting a message that I have reached my "likes" limit of the day.
I do not use: "Like" button. It seems to me to embody social dynamics of: Kindergarten class.
My concern is solely if my comments engender further discussion.

Whaddaya talkin' about here, San???
(...as you may have noticed after all this time, I THOUGHT this forum was primarily "dedicated" for me to post silly little attempts at humor!)
I wish to assure you quite strongly that I did not join this forum solely to be straight-man for your humour!
That is merely one of the perks.

I find it a little sad that a forum dedicated to the wonders of intricate and dramatic movie plots has such mundane and easily-explained problems.

Wonder if this is similar to "misswonderly Fog", a problem I have with my brain now and then ?

I don't see what a 1954 film by Robert Aldrich has to do with suspending people.
(Unless of course you consider that in a way all Apaches were suspended from their own territory in the late 1800s.)
I believe that it may be variant of: "Indian weather" which is heavy, cold mists sporadically dispersed over a wide area. It is known also as: Apache Fog.

I was wondering why the name of the director of Out of Africa -- Sidney P o l l o c k should be censored. It may be because it's similar to a derogatory word of Polish people. But I looked it up on Urban Dictionary and blushed at what I saw there!

It has been my experience that "Work in Progress" or "Apache Error" or "404" or some similar notice appears when servers are off-line either voluntarily or involuntarily.
That was not the situation here. It clearly stated: "Account Suspended."

It is my understanding that this forum is hosted by company other than TCM. It is different servers with different technicians from their main site.
I remember that it was conclusion the last time that this happened that TCM had to wait for a few more people to buy DVDs before they had the money to renew the hosting contract.

I believe that one might call these people: "commercial artists" as their work would have little significance apart from movies. The characters they create must meet the demands of the script.
I believe that it was the last challenge of last season when their creations were part of very short movie and they were working with a director. They did need to meet criteria set forth by director and then were able to see how their character appeared on the screen. Director and their own appraisal dictated changes to their character prior to shooting. It was added twist that they made two characters but then after first screen test they did need to add third character which fit in with the two because of 'script change' at last minute.
They create prosthetics for their characters. It is unforgivable sin for character to look as if they are a person wearing a mask but there seems also to be tacit rule that majority of face has added foam or silicone. It is rare for them to do "beauty make-up" or color-only application to face and hands.
It seems to me that greatest concern is time limitation. I have heard it mentioned at various times that character creation requires weeks for movies but they have two days here. I am sure that in real-world situation that they have people who specialize in different aspects of ideation, sculpting and application but here it is one person or one pair doing all the work on their creation.
I have looked at schedule and the basic challenge to air tomorrow night is: "oversized toys." I feel that this promises to be fun episode with whimsical characters.

Have you seen Don Quixote (1957) or Hamlet (1964) by Grigori Kozintsev. These are two of my favourite Russian films.
Hamlet (1964) should be on all lists of great and wonderful movies of: 1960s. Director and all actors in major roles received: People's Artist awards at some time in their lives. This is much like: Oscars but consideration is for body of work showing excellence rather than single work. It means that the people recognize them as treasures. Grigori Kozintsev is powerful director and Elza Radzina lifts all movies. I am sure I included this movie in my list of favorites if I made a list for: 1964.
Don Kikhot (1957) is likewise. It is very powerful movie with excellent actors at their best.
It is sad to say that I know of few: Lenfilm movies which are available on: YouTube. Mosfilm has placed a great number of their movies there. They have their own channel. I believe that you might find it interesting to peruse their offerings.

I Love You Again (1940)
Love Crazy (1941)
I feel that both of these movies are quite wonderful. They are of a kind in that they are zany comedies with perfect performances by the leading actors and excellent supporting casts. I would rank: I Love You Again (1940) a little higher than: Love Crazy (1941) but I would not argue the point if some person prefers the latter over the former. To have them appear consecutively is a treat.

I wonder if Sansfin has seen Little Vera (1988)? It has some amazing performances in it.
I have watched it. It would be definitely included in my Top-Ten list of over-hyped movies of the decade. It is a "talking-dog" movie in that no one has concerns over such a dog's enunciation nor eloquence: it is amazing only that he speaks. That this movie presents realistic living environment of most citizens in most cities in Russia is its talking dog as it is one of the first official movies to depict it.
The performances are very good but that is to be expected of those actors. Andrey Sokolov in particular delivers fine performances in all of his roles and is in constant demand.
I would hesitate greatly before recommending any person to watch it because of its poor production values and I feel very few people in the West would truly understand important aspects of life there. I must admit that I am not fully conversant in realities of life in such conditions because I had little exposure to such. My city was far more open and progressive. We had a cheryomushki with Khrushchyovkas but I had little association with the type of people who lived there.

2.) "Heathers"--One can construct a religious allegory from the use of colors, the dialogue between J.D. & his dad, and throwaway remarks from J.D. to Winona Ryder's Veronica--or one can enjoy this as a revenge comedy to end all such comedies. Or do both. (sources differ as whether this was released in 1988 or 1989).
I love this movie very much! I feel at times that only six people in the world have ever watched it as no one ever discusses it and it is never aired.
My opinion of: Christian Slater was considerably changed by his great performance in this movie.
"Teen angst with a body count" indeed!

The Sound of Mucus
While hiking in the Swiss Alps, Julie Andrews develops a nasty cold. Her hacking and coughing echos down the hills. Villagers think it's BigFoot. They storm the mountain armed with pitchforks and torches to drive him away. They find Julie Andrews huddled in her tent. They have no chickens handy for soup-making so they offer her hot chocolate while the police write her a ticket for imitating an endangered species.
