And just WHAT "agenda" would any of those be? I'm willing to bet (if they were) they weren't any of the "agendas" the TCM nabobs are trying to say they were(racism, sexism, etc.). Sepiatone

I do recall seeing the flick on TCM not too long ago. Sepiatone

One guy stated it up there just fine. "Classic is subjective." "Classic doesn't necessarily only mean old, but in film can also refer to being groundbreaking, influential, or much revered. And the movies he(or she?) mentioned that they wouldn't consider classic do indeed qualify. But I get the "social awareness" fatigue. Especially when it gets to the point of actually(and without statistical proof and it's source) trying to state HOW it made people react, think or feel about what they saw in a movie made(and first seen) 50-90 years ago. Or too, how WE, all these years later, SHOULD think and feel about it. Or worse yet, tries to cop to knowing the producer's true motive behind subject matter of a movie made 80 years ago. And IMHO, the "body image" twixt movie PSA is the most ridiculous thing so far. Sepiatone

No, you're correct. It WAS my mistake, and thanks for bringing it to my attention. And I'm DAMN sure interested to see that Wyler doc.if it's shown at a decent hour( for me anyway ). And I wouldn't complain if TCM showed THE BOLD AND THE BRAVE('56) once in a while. When a local TV station would show it( not for many years now) it was titled THE BRAVE AND THE DAMNED. Sepiatone

So.... DIG 'EM OUT and get to watching! Sepiatone

Sho' 'nuff. Topo Gigio first hit the Sullivan show in '63. He was a popular figure in Italy since his creation in '59. My Dad just loved him. Hell, we ALL did! Sepiatone

Back in "the day" a product called "Liquid Glass" used to feature a small pic of this car on their containers. Sepiatone

And this being Saturday morning, and Jim having posted it an hour ago, There's really NO "coincidence" now, is there? Sepiatone

And Sunday we'll see the COMPLETE movie, not the one I'd see on Saturday matinees on TV with certain scenes deleted. I never saw the unedited movie until I was in my 30's. And had to travel 40 miles to the U-M campus to do so. Sepiatone

Did you think Jim was mentioning some OTHER broadcast of it? Sepitone

Seen it before. IMHO you'll probably only look up because you'll be rolling your eyes. Sepiatone

In that "Horton hatches an egg" 'toon, that fish was drawn to resemble Lorre too. And I always loved how Horton sings------ "Hut sut rawlson onna rillerah and a so on so on so forth!" Sepiatone

"Food porn"? Cripes, that sounds like some kind of "dweebspeak" like" passive/aggressive". So, what? They were peeling bananas or apples? Or WHAT?? I mean, I saw the movie too( and agree it's wonderful) but don't grasp your intent. Sepiatone

As a guy, I couldn't care less about his ease on the eyes. But, many of the girls in his flicks are! After all, that's mostly why me and my buddies went to see his movies. And several were fun regardless. Sepiatone

I wonder if DARG would have enjoyed it, or quip about it sounding like a traffic jam what with all that nasal "honking" going on? And how soon before they turn the set into a living room design and Ben's ENTIRE FAMILY shows up? Sepiatone

Richard Castellano as Clemenza in THE GODFATHER to Al Pacino's Michael Corleone after taking a test shot of the gun Clemenza fixed up for Michael to shoot Solllozzo with, says; "I left it loud to scare off any pain in the a-ss bystanders" Sepiatone

I thought this was a "general discussion" on a TV channel's message board. NOT a tutorial on psychiatry. And I think trying to facilitate the destruction of two major nations and the possibility of the total destruction of the Earth IS kinda psychopathic, eh? I've known paranoids, and they mostly cowered somewhere isolated in fear of whatever. And were never prone to acts of violence or other evil. Sepiatone

I'm gonna scare you ERIC. I too, still like '05 Peter Jackson remake. Not better than the original mind you, but still... The only thing(IMHO) worth remembering in the '76 swill was any scene that had Jessica Lange wearing shorts. And I mostly remember Rene Auberjonois from his time on the TV show BENSON( never really was a trekkie m'self) Sepiatone

Really Fauster, Drake in that shot reminds me more of JOCK MAHONEY or maybe a bit of REX REASON, who I always thought resembles HOWARD DUFF pretty closely. Sepiatone

And that's high praise indeed for a guy who broke into show biz as a chorus girl. Sepiatone

Or to address the question raised by Richard Gere's paraphrased query in "Mr. Goodbar"---- "Do men make passes at girls with fat a-sses?" Originally, "do men make passes at girls who wear glasses?" with the answer of course being: "It depends on their frames." Sepiatone

Thanks. And I'm tired of those parents who, back in the late '80's, through the '90's and still now who think they can BUY their children's self esteem. And those others who pound their children with so many "you're special's" and how great they are that the children don't really develop a sense of self esteem, but forge a higher level of self centeredness. Sepiatone

B-b-b-but then we wouldn't have had such GEMS as--- A COUNTESS FROM HONG KONG and LAST TANGO IN PARIS I don't know about Garfield in that role. I don't think Blanche was supposed to be taller than Stanley. Sepiatone

I first heard about his demise on the CBS evening news at 6:30pm. Later last night, I tuned into a rerun of the old Johnny Carson TONIGHT SHOW that AntennaTV broadcasts. My "info" button on my cable service's remote indicated Eddie Murphy and Ellen Degeneres were to be his guests. Thinking this might be the show on which she did her infamous "phone call to God" routine I tuned in. But instead, they showed oneof the shows on which Grodin appeared. No big disappointment as I always enjoyed his appearances on the show. I can't be sure of when I first became familiar with Grodin. I've never seen "The Heartbreak Kid"(either version) so I think I can narrow it down to CATCH-22. And only in reruns did I finally notice it was him who was the doctor who set MIA FARROW down for a nap in his air conditioned office in ROSEMARY'S BABY. I also liked him in MIDNIGHT RUN , THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING WOMAN, REAL LIFE and WOMAN IN RED. And sorry NIP. Grodin wasn't overrated. And IMHO, NObody in their right mind would bother to watch that gosh-awful '76 remake of KING KONG, let alone remember specific scenes from that brainless muddle. Rest In Peace Charles. Sepiatone
