here is one. karloff be a real nice monster after all.

true, amc is a tax write-off for zombies.

they had the first two national lampoon vacation movies on, chopped up of course but still enjoyable. european vacation is a lot funnier than it is given credit for. plenty of clever scenes like clark at the top of the eiffel tower characterizing a desire to relieve himself as a creative urge to produce art. my favorite scene is when the griswold's are in the train compartment. an overlooked film. siskel & ebert trashed it.

I think so.

"would you like a watercress on white, Chris?"

I've always appreciated her. she guested on an ep of leave it to beaver and was purity pinker in the sequel to disney's treasure island, long john silver.

yes, tcm did get a little creatively frisky tonite with the hammer noirs. have they ever shown barbara payton in the four-sided triangle?

chubasco? I prefer worcestershire myself.

Allan Melvin was the voice of Magilla Gorilla.

let me ask this... if...IF tcm had a pressing desire to show Hot Spell badly and if they really wanted to... COULD they get a hold of a print? ..or would they be hard pressed to acquire a print along with a bundle of other films? How do I know?! I only be-a askin'.

oh? so if tcm ever found that they could no longer lease Gone With The Wind, that would be okay? since being great cinemaphiles rises and falls on film availability....okay. I doan know, tcm has shown Rear Window here on tcm many times but they go the extra mile to get it released in theaters? why does their partiality to certain films rule out our partiality to certain films? Rear Window for decades was locked away but not recently. today Hot Spell is. it is being shown nowhere that I know of. not on movies! or anywhere. viewing-wise it is not currently extant. so who's the say that I or anyone else who has seen and appreciates Hot Spell is out of line inquiring about it?

how do requests from viewers and their input enter into that? does tcm intend to draw from the same fixed film catalog...forever? okay. fine. ten years ago the film hot spell was a part of that catalog and now apparently is no longer? question, does the tcm film catalog do nothing other than contract? does it never expand with new additions or even, old ones?

hey, he's the duke of movies!

oh, so that's what all that means. old man bowman's palatial living quarters threw me off.

how about tcm revisiting hot spell.

american actor with the most lead starring roles... JOHN WAYNE 142 of 'em. that's alotta corn dodgers.

what about that dance sequence? ride the bos om!

last nite I lived dangerously and watched The Fifth Element on syfy.

a pointless deliniation. soundtrack or score, what's the dif? to most the difference is irrelevant. always has been to me. for years jerry goldsmith's star trek: the motion picture score was incomplete and in recent years we now have the complete soundtrack.

an all too short but incomparable track. Goldsmith's genius is dazzlingly superlative...

I like powerful majestic music like Jerry Goldsmith's unforgettable Star Trek: The Motion Picture or strong inspirational music that projects the courage, intellectual fortitude and legendary foresight of a great military man... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IysFuNpoP9Y

didn't criswell say that?

doan like today's (sunday) film schedule at all. so with tcm's usual letdown I look elsewhere. on movies! I find Raiders From The Sea, an underwater heist film followed by two stalwarts later on, Flight of the Phoenix and Major Dundee. there ya go! good stuff be out there. ya just gotta look for it. if this be the way that tcm wants it... well sir.... let it be so. tcm can put hot spell on anytime they wanna but first.... they gotta get their cookie racks outta the cupboard. It's okay, I'll wait. if there is one thing I will not abide it's slackness in film selecting. no sir. I not a bein' a puttin' up with it. just a plain ol' graveyard ghost...that's all in the world I am!

mine too. dorothy doesn't shoot anybody in the face.

what is boring is tcm's unchanging film catalog.
