There's a new spam e-mail over in the Favorites forum this morning that, while largely incoherent, now tries to get people to click on the show links by mentioning these message boards (I reported it):
*"Please confirm your registration by clicking the following link and you'll be on your way:**r Member ID, you can contribute to TCM?s Message Boards, receive informatiive newsletters, contribute to our Movie Database, and more."*
The subject line is, "Mechanical Engineer Gone Crazy". Uh, yeah...

*Thirty minutes was all that I could take.*
:^0 Kudos - you lasted longer than I would have!

This is my favorite song by Grand Funk Railroad. I think I may have posted this song here before, but as long as we're on the subject of them, it's worth posting again (and yes, get well soon, Mark):

The only time I remember walking out of a movie theater (with two friends) because a film was so bad was for 1996's *Down Periscope*, with Kelsey Grammer.

Nah, but she ain't the great DeHavilland.
Last female vocalist post by me for now: Norah Jones - yeah, I know, puts some people to sleep, but her voice is really nice.
-
Okay, the only Olivia worth talking about is DeHavilland, I guess.
More strong female singers: I don't know how well-known Amy Lee of Evanescence is, but I adore this song:
-
Patti Smith Group - this song has one of the most haunting intros ever, imo:
(at first I was thinking to post a song by Olivia Newton-John, but figured Patti Smith would go over better.

Online there is a list of the 100 Greatest Novelty Songs. Monster Mash rates second, The Purple People Eater rates fourth. They're Coming to Take Me Away, Haha is first.
The Coasters with something more serious (not):

Wow, that sounds like a powerful episode... I might have seen small bits of NG many moons ago, but don't remember much beyond the Serling introduction. I've always been a big TZ fan.

There's an episode of The Twilight Zone called "The Sixteen Milimeter Shrine". Ida Lupino plays an aging movie star who so longs to go back to the way things were in the past that in the end, she disappears into one of her own films.
So, while I wouldn't necessarily want to live in another era with all of its own problems, it would be nice to disappear into an old movie for a while (er, the right kind of movie, that is. Nothing like "Psycho" or anything...

Hi Burton - I found this clip on YouTube sometime back; you may enjoy it.
-
A little while ago I received an e-mail announcement that *Red Dust*, with Harlow and Gable, will be released on Warner Archives (October 30, according to this). I've been wanting to see this movie for a long time now - hope it becomes available on Netflix or Classicflix asap.
Someone else posted this news in the Genre Forums the other day but from what I've read of the movie reviews, it also seems to qualify as a "Hot Topic".
(UPDATE: If this is already being announced regularly on TCM, my apologies for this post; I don't have TCM so I'm not aware of what they're advertising.)

Halloween songs! We can't forget this gem (this is also a video of classic movies, so it's TCM-relevant
).Boris Pickett and the Cryptkickers -

Though it was hardly a major role for him, I liked Holden in *Miss Grant Takes Richmond*, with Lucille Ball. Holden's comedic delivery was understated but still funny.

Welcome, Powellpal! Hm, I don't see anything in your post, but if I were to take a guess, I would say William Powell.

*You guys go ahead, I will sit this one out...*
Okay, here's the antidote to all the disco.

Thanks!
But I prefer to leave the 'girl talk' to you men... -
LOL! Okay, okay, I'm on my way out! George Brent doesn't do it for me, though. Should kick him out of our cave and call in Burt Lancaster. Or make a new cave. :x
-
Oh yeah - I mean, there's no "debate" - it's Gomez by a mile. Especially if you speak French to him.
-
*OK now, if it's Morticia Addams vs. Lily Munster, then it's Morticia hands down.*
Interesting debate, guys.
Unfortunately, we girls don't really have anything to talk about with respect to Herman Munster...-

Segueing into disco, time to get on our platform shoes. My eyes are blinded by the mirrored ball, otherwise I would post all of your suggestions...

*Ambiguity can enhance the experience*
I agree - I love movies that make me think, that leave me just a little bit unsettled. Referring again to *The Birds*, though the chance of a mass bird attack is unlikely in real life (to those proportions), Hitchcock made the film in such a way to suggest that it could happen, especially by the fact that he never explains why these birds are there. There's no "rational explanation" where the viewer can say, "Well, that will never happen... (again / where I live / take your choice)".
-
What a great example! Yes, I really love that movie! One of my favorites from DeHavilland.

Of late I've been listening to "Kiss Me on the Bus":
The video is The Replacements, but the version I like is a cover, by a group called Bright Little Field. The main instruments are ukuleles.
It's not on YouTube, but it's found on iTunes. The name of the album is, "Treatment Bound: A Ukulele Tribute To The Replacements". :^0
wow, really annoyed am I are you with the senseless junk posts innumerable?
