my favorite tcm pet comedy lust for life was on this afternoon and I missed all but the last 30 minutes. very disappointed I be because I doan like missing my favorite comedy. van gogh driving gauguin nuts in that house is always a hoot to watch.
bring back one reel wonders and show the van gogh nutso portion with gauguin. another good part is van gogh trying to give an increasingly frustrated gauguin easel battening down advice in a raging gale.

that's one of the few colorized holiday films out there before purists killed colorization. just my opinion but I think it would be nifty for tcm to exercise some originality by re-igniting colorization by colorizing A Holiday Affair with Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh. that's another Miracle on 34th Street holiday favorite waiting to be born.
tcm, colorize it...and kindly be quick about it if you please.

Krampus is still popular in parts of Europe. He was mentioned in "The Story of Christmas" documentary.
Hard to distinguish between Christmas and Halloween, lol. A Nightmare before Xmas?

As long as they don't do another Ron Howard Grinch movie. Boy was Jim Carrey and that film bad.
Keir Dullea is introducing Black Christmas at TIFF on Dec. 15.
hollywood of today is simply beset by stupid, untalented and most egregiously, unintuitive people. what you wanna do is do a cgi grinch after you find someone who can vocally mimic boris karloff.
today's hollywood stupes ain't even smart enough to do that.

Yeah, it's all a conspiracy to keep you from seeing what you want. They even said on the cruise that we're not going to show horror or sci fi or Hot Spell because this Nippy guy keeps posting about it.

I'm disappointed in the TV commercial. it has no scenes with the guy who plays john wayne pickin' on dalton trumbo.
I'm a duke fan so where's my incentive to go see it?

I just knew this was gonna happen! Rex Reason kicking off before tcm could ask him to do a co-host sit-in with osborne of a showing of This Island Earth, now rex reason is gone. never gonna happen now because tcm slights the sci-fi and horror genres.

I can see you don't fully understand the nature of his quest. He won't stop until TCM shows Hot Spell. Even if they do, many of us fear he will get on a new Hot Spell quest; e.g. asking TCM to show the film backwards!

Hot Spell (1958) produced by Hal B. Wallis, directed by Daniel Mann, written by James Poe (a SOUTHERN writer) stars Shirley Booth Anthony Quinn, Earl Holliman, Shirley MacLaine and Eileen Heckart.
never heard of it???

I used to e more active on the message boards but have been a little busier recently. Sometimes we put movies into the schedule because we have the rights, but later find out materials don't exist - I don't know if that's the situation re "Trick for Trick" but that's my best guess at the moment (away from the office). I'm not familiar with "Hot Spell" but happy to look into it.

For those who have not had a chance to see it yet, Ian Patrick posted his video commentary about DRUMS IN THE DEEP SOUTH. Check it out:
is it better than that awful Band of Angels?

NGC giving the pilgrims the 1492: conquest of paradise routine...

I do like that badass poster.

There is a new one out about the story of Thanksgiving.."Saints and Strangers" (2015)

I hope he grabbed a cook book.

Hmmmm...sounds like you're sayin' here that WIDMARK would have never had tried gettin' into some country club by tellin' 'em HE "was no actor and had movies galore he starred in to prove it", eh ND?!

(...well, I don't think Widmark was that "egotistical" either, from what I know of him...word was he was a pretty down-to-earth guy too, and just like Vic in this regard)
I doan know how egotistical widmark was if at all but he sure was a laugh riot as fun-loving tommy.

ol' H.G. woulda taken the bible simply because it is the foundation for much of what we call western civilization and if wells woulda wanted to explain the tenets of western civilization to the future morlock fodder called humankind then why would he not take back one of it's major underpinnings?
and besides, seeing those poor creatures under the power of the morlocks might have caused wells to question some of his own darwinian assumptions. he mighta said to himself "if this is where science is going to lead us to, lambs to the slaughter...
where the hell's my bible?!"

I just wish Richard Widmark hadn't of resented being so identified with his role of giggling psycho-gangster tommy udo. actors imo shouldn't resent the public liking them in certain roles. it is in fact the greatest of compliments.
instead some actors regard it as a slight against them. such an unfortunate egotistical attitude. actors should appreciate those roles that endear them to the public. what a great thing it woulda been to see richard widmark reprise tommy udo on an episode of the lucy show or even hee haw.

but doan show Hot Spell written by james poe.

it's not in the coffer.

-
a great midnite movie.
