Sunday, September 6
I’d go for all of these tonight …
8 p.m. The Song Remains the Same (1976). Led Zeppelin. I saw this, one reel at a time over the course of many weeks in the late 70’s. The 99 cent Revue house that I frequented used to play one reel between the features.
10:30 p.m. Jimi Hendrix (1973).
12:15 a.m. Jimi Plays Monterey (1986).
1:45 a.m. Shakel: Otis at Monterey (1987) by D.A. Pennebaker

Norman Jewison would be a good choice. Born in 1926!

6:30 p.m. Bananas (1971). One of my all time favourite comedies.

10 p.m. Shine a Light (2008). Martin Scorsese and The Rolling Stones.

8 p.m. Women Make Film: A New Road Movie Through Cinema (2018). I guess this is part one of a 14 hour film.
9:15 p.m. Merrily we Go to Hell (1932). With Sylvia Sidney and Fredric March. Not highly rated but I haven’t seen it. NOT ON IN CANADA apparently.
midnight. Olivia (1951). A rare chance to see this French film. With Simone Simon.

WHERE'S JOAN BENNETT??????????
As long as they don't show The Wife Takes a Flyer (1942) which I saw for the first time last night. Terrible is too kind a word and Allyn Josly as the Nazi was probably the worst acting job I've seen in many years. Poor Joan seemed to be just going through the paces and wishing it would end soon.

Bogie, I believe TCM has shown Have I the Right To Kill before, and it's pretty good, with Alain Delon and Lea Massari in top form. However, for those just having one Alain Delon film, for me it's Purple Noon, brilliantly directed by Rene Clement. Delon is surprisingly good as a young male innocent in The Yellow Rolls Royce.
There was a 1995 true murder case in England involving a Canadian who killed a rich person on a sail boat, weighted him to an anchor and dumped the body overboard then assumed his identity. He lived with his daughter who was posing as his wife! The murder unravelled when the victim's body turned up in a fisherman's net and was identified by the Rolex watch he was wearing!
It was made into a TV MOW, AKA Albert Walker (2002) which was shot on the Isle of Man. It would make a good double bill with Purple Noon (1960). It was a big case in England and Canada 25 years ago and no one to my knowledge drew the Patricia Highsmith connection.

Alain Delon
4:15 p.m. Have I the Right to Kill aka The Unvanquished (1964). Perhaps a bit more obscure than the others.
11:15 p.m. Le Samouri (1967). Very good Jean-Pierre Melville crime film.

2014
9. Li’l Quinquin (2014) Bruno Dumont, France
Produced as a television mini-series but also released to festivals as a feature film. A pair of bumbling detectives investigate a series of bizarre murders in a French sea-side town and farming community. The inhabitants are all as strange as those in David Lynch’s Twin Peaks. I liked it.
Stations of the Cross (2014) Dietrich Bruggermann, Germany
The film is made up of 14 very long takes. A young girl is pushed to the edge by her religious fanatic mother and an uncompromising priest. It is a very slow build but I thought it paid off quite well. Interesting.

No, you need to >>narrow<< the window until that appears. Yes, this time it is the other way around. 😁
I can't see this going over well...
Thanks. BTW I had to shrink the window to about half the size of my computer screen before the search function appeared. Almost the size of a phone screen. Maybe that was the point?
But who wants to shrink their browser screen to half the size of their computer screen? Not me. Thanks for the tip though. I will do that if I want to do a search with this new and (not) improved format!

The search question:
(I posted this earlier but it seems to have been ignored in the flood of posts)
Here's a picture from a previous post. The faint magnifying glass on the dark background in the upper right is the search button, click on that to search.
Please note that on my computer if the window is too wide, the magnifying glass disappears! Try making the window narrower and see if the magnifying glass shows up.
These do not appear for me at all even when expanding the window. Safari or Chrome.

I found that if I do a search on this page (Command F in Safari) for the word "search," besides taking me to every time the word is mentioned in this thread, the first place it takes me to is the "Create" button on top left. Maybe there's a ghost of a search button there.
Search is an important feature of the board. For example, I started a thread years ago in Off-Topic, devoted to songs from Broadway musicals. I don't post there much, but when I want to post, I need to find it, since it's buried behind so many more current pages. The search function is crucial.
Ah but isn't that just a generic Safari search and not the TCM search which allowed you to search via topics or posts or combined phrases?

Btw, I think I like the sidebar with its information.
Yes, where is the search function now?

Those links would have been a customization above and beyond a simple software "upgrade". At one time they used to do things like this. Now it has either become too complex to, or else they just decided to simplify. I think it's odd that there isn't at least a link back to the TCM home page. But really it's two different websites in two different locations.
It used to be all there. I know it has been gone now for some time. My biggest beef is giving up a third of the page for some thread trivia.

I've given it a day or so now and I do not like many of the changes. This new right hand column with trivia facts is not worth losing a full page to see the posts. Terrible.
Why did they have to lose the accurate reply and views counts?
There used to be a way to get to the TCM main page and schedule from the discussion forums. Those links have been gone for some time now.

HITS & MISSES: Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow on TCM

No, they obviously had rented the 35mm print for about a month and then screened it one reel at a time over the course of a few weeks. They played a reel like a short subject between features.
