I was actually thinking it might fun to see JAWS on the big screen in a theater with an audience. I hope it comes to Chicago.

I hoping that THE HOSPITAL would air. It was scheduled for a George C. Scott tribute not too long ago but was bumped prior to the air date.

BRAINSTORM is also scheduled to air on June 25. I knew about the last minute schedule change so I DVRed BRAINSTORM but the formatting was off. On the SD channel it started out letterboxed then switched from letterboxed to window boxed (quite a small window I might add) for the first few minutes. Finally it settled on window boxing. I hope the formatting is correct for the next airing on June 25. I don't think this formatting issue was due to the print.

Yeah, the Patricia Neal comparison was less annoying to my mother in terms of the physical appearance. I think it was Patricia Neal's deeper voice that was the issue.

Yes, Natalie Wood was never taken seriously as an actor because of her beauty. I wish she would had been allowed to use her own singing voice in WEST SIDE STORY. Although she did not have the trained voice of Marni Mixon (who ultimately dubbed Natalie's singing) Natalie's voice was more than adequate and actually sounds more appropriate for the character. If the movie were made today. Natalie Wood most likely would not have been dubbed. The really sad part is that Natalie was told during the production that her own singing voice would be used in the movie when all along it was planned to dub her.

I also think of A CHRISTMAS STORY and the comments about "shooting your eye out" with the gun when I see this thread. I do recommend that movie though.

At least this purchase supports a worthy cause.

Unless I missed it, no one has claimed a crush on Tor Johnson yet.

I'm still trying to determine if I have this channel.

12 Tors for the price of 1!

Yes I saw it that way too when I first read it.

I've never seen BARBARELLA but am very much looking forward to it.

I've never seen KISS OF THE SPIDER WOMAN but I want to. I've heard that originally William Hurt and Raul Julia were originally cast in the opposite roles but the parts were switched before production began. I think it was William Hurt who pushed for this change.

Someone once told my mother than she reminded him of June Allyson. She was not pleased with this comparison. She was also told at least once that she resembled Patricia Neal. She didn't like that comparison much either, but she liked it better than the June Allyson one.

The source material for THE FRONT PAGE was also the basis of HIS GIRL FRIDAY, but in HIS GIRL FRIDAY the character of Hildy Johnson became a female.

I think Casey Affleck is extremely underated. He also had a role in GOOD WILL HUNTING, which was co-written by his brother and Matt Damon.

One Robin Hood movie that I've never seen is Richard Lester's ROBIN AND MARIAN (1976) which stars Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn as an older Robin Hood and Maid Marian. Lester made this movie around the time he was making other period pieces , most notably the Musketeers movies with Michael York as D'Artagnan.

Tonight in the overnight hours TCM is airing BRAINSTORM, Natalie Wood's final film. She died before completing work on the movie. I'm a big Natalie Wood fan but I've avoided seeking out this movie but I have decided to DVR it.

Yes, Marion Crane's sister finds some of the torn paper next to the toilet when goes to the Bates Motel looking for information about Marion's disappearance.

BARBARELLA is scheduled to air on TCM on June 24 (actually early June 25).

Yes, there's before-Tor and after-Tor . . .

There'a problem bringing up the August 1 daily schedule. I've only been able to bring it up as part of the weekly schedule. http://www.tcm.com/schedule/weekly.html?tz=CST&sdate=2015-08-01

I never received a response to this question so I researched it on my own and discovered that Liza Minnelli and Desi Arnaz Jr were actually engaged for a time. Lucille Ball encouraged the relationship and was even okay with the two living together. Lucy did not like (to put it mildly) Desi Jr's prior girlfiend Patty Duke.

I think Orson Welles's daughter mentions this in a piece about her father that's shown on TCM.
