So then Millstone, you're sayin' that Victor Mature/Richard Widmark flick IS "required viewing" TOO here??? (...sorry, couldn't resist)

TZ's most "noir" episode ever would have to be "What You Need", and what with its setting, its cinematography, and especially its casting of Steve Cochran in the lead role. Wouldn't ya say, CJ?! (...liked that you included it in your blog)

LOL Alright...okay. So it would take 36 years for Big Blue to get a little revenge on those Cards here the other day... (...betcha just HATED this, didn't ya?!) LOL

Wow, and here for a second laffite, I thought your hatred for modern baseball and for the Dodgers in particular, might've began after that time Tommy Lasorda brushed past you and knocked your beer and half-eaten Dodger Dog out of your hand and didn't apologize for it. And so thanks for settin' the record straight here. (...OH and btw...GO DODGERS!!!)

Yeah, Susan's kind'a cute I suppose, NS. However, I'll take Yvonne here when it comes to actresses who played green-skinned alien women on the 1960's Star Trek series...

Ya know and come to think of it, I myself often feel like this kid here while watching the movies TCM shows...

Ah yes! Capra's State Of The Union. A wonderful film. Telling the tale of a very very rich businessman with no political experience at all, making a run for the Presidency, BUT who would ultimately gain the insight and self-awareness enough to see the error of his ways before it was too late for all concerned. (...oh how I miss those days) LOL

C'mon now, Toto. The explanation to this is very very simple. Uh-huh. Antonioni is pretty much saying that it's a hell of a lot easier playing tennis with an IMAGINARY ball than it is with a REAL one! Topspin lobs and overhead slams especially. (...take it from the avid tennis player here) LOL

Ava here is saying... "Oh REALLY?! I've never heard that!"

Thought you knew I've always been more into brunettes?! (...oh, and of course motorcycles) LOL

Love seein' the old LAPD Moto Guzzi here. The CHP at the time rode 'em too, ya know...

Familiar locales for me alright, NS. THANKS... (...for makin' me miss the South Bay beaches more than I already do) LOL

Interesting here, MCOH. Have to say this idea of any "command" sent from corporate to avoid any interaction with us "peons" (my word here, not yours of course) is news to me, anyway. I DO know that years ago when Eddie Muller attempted a dialogue around here, he was met with a slurry of less-than courteous postings by a former board member, and was thereafter never to heard from again...Eddie that is. But like I said, if what you've surmised might be the true, I suppose this could explain their absence from these board. (...and so now my question would be: Why then does it seem corporate doesn't frown on their useage of Facebook, Twitter and the other social media sites out there?)

Here's what I wish would happen, and even though I know that the chances of it actually happening are zilch, zero, nada. I WISH any of these smiling faces (yeah yeah, nasally Ben needs to work on his) pictured below in this shot here... ...would FOR ONCE come on these boards, yes THESE very boards that their EMPLOYER set up on the internet years ago for the express PURPOSE to discuss TCM and its fare, would read through this thread IN PARTICULAR, and THEN post THEIR reponses to what has been said in it. Now, my guess would be that their responses would be of a higher caliber than mere "mediocrity", as I consider ALL of them to possess an intelligence level at least commensurate to their stations in life, if not higher. Yep, I'd LOVE to read their replies to some of these (for want of better word) "accusations" which have be levied against them in this thread. Yep, I'd LOVE it! (...too bad this will never happen, as I'm sure even IF any of them WOULD actually somehow stumble across this thread IN once again TCM's VERY OWN WEBSITE, they'd probably feel there'd be nothing at all to gain by replying in or to it, and thus THIS is what I FEEL is the REAL "shame" of this all!!!)

"Century City", eh?! Betcha didn't know that that land was originally owned by western film star Tom Mix. (...actually, you DID probably know this, didn't ya)

LOL Well, gimme her phone number and maybe I WILL!!! (...it'll be either a 213 or 310 area code, right?!)

Yes Lavender, I DO have to admit here that David Nelson always seemed to be a very nice guy, alright. IN FACT, "responsible to the core" one could say, AND the kind'a guy most EVERYBODY would probably like to have as a "BFF"(as the kids say now days) or trusted neighbor. (...STILL though, HOW in the world this boring guy got such a hot babe as June Blair to MARRY him is STILL a mystery to ME!!!) LOL

Btw, I forgot to add here...every movie WILL FERRELL has ever made TOO!!!

"Man-child learns to be adult." (...yep, you guessed it...this one is every Adam Sandler movie ever made)

So I take it this has always precluded your use of the phrase "Gag me with a spoon". Possible copyright infringement and all. (...ya know, I HAVE wondered why I've never seen you use that phrase around here...now, I guess I know, huh)

Ah-HA! So NOW the truth comes out, eh "Moon Trash"?!!! LOL

Yeah, maybe Mr.Sixes. I suppose that there's an outside chance of this. Have to admit here though, and as you probably know, I seldom venture into that thread, and so wouldn't know if what you're positing here would be true or not. (...but IF on the outside chance that this MIGHT be true at all, then whatever you do, PLEASE do not now tell me here that it was someone AROUND HERE who actually came up with that lame "Astrology" series a while back?!!!) LOL

And here all these years I thought it was a composite picture of De Niro as both Jake LaMotta AND Rupert Pupkin! (...also always reminded me a bit of Bobby Darin too, btw)

Well, I hate to tell you this Dave, but I've had the "feeling" since about a year or so after I became a member on these boards (this being just over ten years ago now, mind you) that the ONLY thing the "staff" around here has ever "skimmed over" in search of WASN'T or ISN'T for any "feedback", but was REALLY only to edit posts that they've felt might contain "questionable language" and/or language which might create a "flame war". (...nope, other than THAT and sorry to say once again, I don't think "feedback" is that high on the "staff's" priority list, and IF it's even ON their "priority list" AT ALL!)

Heck, I'm old enough to remember wondering how in the world Ozzie and Harriet's BORING son ended up getting a hot babe like June up there to marry him. (...she was WAY hotter than that Harmon girl Ricky married, ya know)
