I'm currently writing about the Noir Twilight Zone episodes here.
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)

He's the kind of guy that would not apologize. He had a rigid and uncompassionate personality. You know what that means.
Whenever I need a little entertainment I go to youtube and I watch Dick Clark's revenge homer that caused poor Tommy fits. Jack rubbed in so deep by rounding the bases longer than most run marathons. Tom watched grimly during this torture but he allegedly went ballistic after the cameras were gone.
Yes, go Dodgers ... please. To Hell

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?!)

Sidebar, again
I can't go into it here, it's complicated and simple both. Some of it has to do with my antipathy for the game myself. I have not changed with the times, and it's the times fault.
Stupid Baseball bases their playoffs by Division first, etc.
Thus we have the best records playing each other in a three-game series.
Baseball is one disastrous fiasco after another.
Baseball should follow the other major sports whereby teams are seeded by W-L record.
Baseball Season will be over soon. Who could ask for more?
Days left until Opening Day in the NHL : 4
🍸
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!!!)

I was going to let you have the last word here, Dargo, but Susan Oliver's been nagging me to counter in color:
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...

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)

I can't think of Antonioni's "Blow Up" without thinking of Austin Power's brilliant lampoon. I think that there aren't concrete explanations for events in the film but that was the whole idea. I liked the movie better after I read about it's theme that related to tenets of existentialist philosophy but seeing it the first time it was totally bewildering and I will never make sense of the weird ending with the mimes in the park. I did like seeing the Yardbirds though.
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)

OK, Dargo, I will serve up a heaping of hurt to myself in name of fairplay - note the(n) modern surburban look of the Four 'n 20 pies which stood in refreshing architectural contrast to the another car dealership persistence of Van Nuys Boulevard:
Love seein' the old LAPD Moto Guzzi here.
The CHP at the time rode 'em too, ya know...

Before THE DECLINE of western civilization...
Beach punks seen in a pre-BLACK FLAG incarnation named PANIC! pose in their hometown Hermosa Beach - note the Aviation Boulevard street sign, Dargo:
Glen "Spot" Beckett, a multi-ethnic/multi-talented dude who engineered and produced BLACK FLAG records, took some wonderful snapshots of life in Los Angeles' South Bay area - especially on the Strand during the late 1970s period:
If I can get your momentary attention here, Dargo, note the old Baptist church in the background which by then or was soon offering Sacrament to the notorious beach punk scene eventually captured on celluloid by Penelope Spheeris for her 1981 rockumentary.
Familiar locales for me alright, NS. THANKS...
(...for makin' me miss the South Bay beaches more than I already do)

It's recently been a matter of dispute on what the "C" in TCM might stand for. I think it is clear what the "M" stands for. "Mum's" the word. Looks like them's the commands from top-down, lock-step avoidance of this forum, lest somebody break rank. Just my impression over the years. This is not anything new.
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!!!)

In the episode of Million Dollar Listing, the condo building June lived in was The Century Towers on the Avenue of The Stars in Century City. I am not your secretary, look it up yourself, I'm sure she's love to talk to you LOL
"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)

No, Dave was a sweetheart. He became an attorney, he took care of Rick's kids financially and made very smart investments for them., He took care of Ozzie when Ozzie had colon cancer. Don't say anything bad about Dave or Ricky, or else! LOL ( teasing,you know you're my buddy dargo, but I loved those boys)June was on an episode of Million Dollar Listing LA, a few years ago. she wanted to sell her condo and buy a condo in the same buliding she was living in. Multi millions btw. she wanted the other condo because the terrace was larger and had grass so that she wouldn't have to walk her dog LOL.Besides, since when can't a good natured, kind, intelligent man have a beautiful wife. Lately there is more male chauvinist nonsense on these bds. and I think one of the newbies that showed up a few months ago is responsible and his posts aren't funny.
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

MOON UNIT was taken by one of those Zappa chix, ya know? There was nuttin' I could do! I'm just stuck with "Moon Trash" until I empty my Intergalactic Garbage Can. Sheesh.
So I take it this has always precluded your use of the phrase "Gag me with a spoon". Possible copyright infringement and all.

@Dargo: Yes, Dargo, I came up with the 'Astrology' series. My friends call me 'MOON TRASH' and I thought it naturally reflective [whatever that might mean] to turn my insidious attentions toward banal things! And so we had the 'Astrology' series. I knew this chick named 'STAR CHILD' and I'd selected her to host this fetid field day . . . but before she could my palm it seems THE COSMOS swallowed her up! Gone -- just like that. → Swallowed whole in a seething space morass! GULP!
Well, hell, there went the neighborhood . . . what was I to do? I consulted my "BIG BOOK OF STARS AND PLUMBING CONSTRUCTION" but could find no answers upon which to base my selection as host of the hoary exercise. So I delegated my responsibility and had TCM do the 'host search' thing.
Because I am a 'Truly Modern Man' I take no blame for *anything* that went wrong! I aspired for this 'Astrology' bit to be a highly intelligent discourse about the joys of 'Space Junk' and its effects on Man-In-The-Moon Marigolds. But nooooo! My high standards were compromised by low-rent production values. Damn. 🤪
All of this makes me a 'POMAWB' (means 'Pi*ss*ed Off Middle-Age While Boy'). But I digress. I bid you all Good Evening.
Ah-HA! So NOW the truth comes out, eh "Moon Trash"?!!!

but I still think they 'glean' ideas from the Programming Challenges thread........
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?!!!)

Good catch. That is Fassbinder, with Hanna in the background.
And here all these years I thought it was a composite picture of De Niro as both Jake LaMotta AND Rupert Pupkin!

At least, we believe, it'd be foolish for TCM not to have a staff skimming through for feedback's sake.
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.
