I have nothing against any race, ethnicity or religion but LGBT and gay marriage is none of those things but rather a moral or immoral proclivity/activity based on one's views and moral values. If people can state they want an LGBT theme time or permanent forum site in celebration of their "pride month" then I can state I oppose these. My "prejudices" as you put it are what many many call moral values. Your views are "prejudices" too.

A whole lot of very funny drag roles on this thread. All tongue in cheek and very funny. I'll vote for a funny "drag" thread. Let's not forget the immortal roles of Curtis and Lemmon in SOME LIKE IT HOT. Let's not forget the immortal E. T. in drag. He did not look happy.

COAL MINER'S DAUGHTER is an excellent film and I look forward to seeing it again. Thanks for the head's up. Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones: two of my favorites.

"JAMES ARNESS...and the TELEVISION HALL OF FAME".
roverrocks replied to lanetemple's topic in Westerns
To learn that Mr. Arness is not in the TV Hall of Fame is like learning that Earth is flat or the sun will come up in the West. Mind boggling!! What a sad travesty. -
Gets my vote. Certainly LAME. How about TCM just shows no intensive GAY PRIDE array of flics and just shows their usual random array of films of all flavors no matter what the subject or stars. Too controversial and I know which side I am on. Let me just get it out in the open: No to same sex marriage and no to a LGBT theme month, day, or week. I love the great films of Rock Hudson and Montgomery Clift and John Ireland but have absolutely no desire to see an overt demonstrative Gay Pride array on TCM.

Hollywood's depictions of death on screen
roverrocks replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
I have no clue whether there is an afterlife or not. I'm agnostic at best. My wife is a firm believer in an afterlife and lives to serve her image of godliness and an afterlife. My favorite movie involving death/life and afterlife projections onscreen is A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH (1946). Simply a terrific and thoughtful movie IMO. -
There is no worse war movie than the 1984 dud of really dumb duds RED DAWN. Just plain embarrassingly bad. #2 through #5 are the simple minded and absurd RAMBO messes. Is their a worse actor than Sylvester Stallone? Nyet, there is not.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching A HARD DAY'S NIGHT. Had never seen it before. "Grampa" rather stole the show. The music was great as I have always enjoyed the Beatles. Thanks TCM for broadcasting this interesting nostalgic movie. My how times have changed in 50 years.

BREAKER MORANT is my favorite Aussie movie and one of my top 10 of all time from anywhere. Love that movie. Very moving especially the superb and sad ending.

All I can see is the evil glare from the woman over Barbara Hutton's head. If looks could kill.................................

Wow, Clint Walker!! What a heart throb ladykiller he must have been. If I had looked like that instead of the short dweeb I've always been, I think my love life with the ladies would have been 1,000,000% more exciting!!! Women probably fainted dead away when he took off his shirt. Nobody ever said life is fair.

Fantastic movie!! Horrible viewing time at 4:30 AM MST for me. Oh well. So it goes.

Guest Programmer Dolores Hart tonight on TCM
roverrocks replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
She did a terrific job. One of the most interesting guest programmers they have featured. I for one am extremely glad they asked her to be there. Thank you, Dolores Hart!! -
I have never recorded anything off of TCM or any other channel. I was born a dinosaur and I will die a dinosaur though I admit I have bought maybe 25 movies over the years. There is an old X-Box I view one occasionally on which was left over from my sons' gaming days. I don't own a cellphone either.

TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH, one of the best war films....
roverrocks replied to FredCDobbs's topic in General Discussions
I wish I was close enough to attend this event. Sounds absolutely fascinating. Enjoy. -
I completely and totally agree. This performance was the most chilling I have ever seen. He had soulless shark eyes. A killing machine with absolutely no remorse. None. Nada.

TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH, one of the best war films....
roverrocks replied to FredCDobbs's topic in General Discussions
I am currently reading a brilliant and fascinating new WW2 history book entitled THE BOMBERS AND THE BOMBED by Richard Overy. After reading about 1/2 so far I heartily endorse this insightful book which covers the bombing war from both the Allied side and the Axis side plus the recipients of the high explosives and incendiary campaign in Europe from 1940 to 1945. For anyone interested in the WW2 air war this should be a must read. -
TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH, one of the best war films....
roverrocks replied to FredCDobbs's topic in General Discussions
TWELVE O'CLOCK HIGH: As good a WW2 movie as there is. I salute all the vets of all our wars and especially the Army Air Force of WW2. My father was one of the B24 vets of the 8th Air Force. He was one of the lucky ones. He came back in one piece even though he was shot down and spent a year in the German POW system.
