TV Land sucks and always did since they turned their backs on 50s and 60s fare...
and even now the poor dears have not recovered from their inability to show the cosby show.
that just broke their hearts.

john wayne was cool as Genghis khan unquestionably better than omar sharif who was just plained outacted by Stephen boyd in that boring 1965 film....
and so Duke conquered the American cinema screen for 50 years.

imo the origin of egg sucking emasculating cgi animation. that sickening touchy-feely fuzzy-wuzzy crap I always felt did start with sesame street.
just ask yourselves where the inspiration for today's Hollywood cgi came from. some of us were raised on better stuff...

The benefits of keeping TCM going, as-is, definitely outweigh the losses. Anyone who can't see that is probably also too stupid to breathe.
I guess I'm too stupid to breathe...
all they're doing is beating the same movies into the ground over and over and over again quite unceasingly.
we could all stand to lose that.

I can't even figure out the title which sounds like someone is pursuing the thin man.

I just got through watching Saturday night movies and segued into the noir alley from Ben Mankiewicz to Eddie Muller's great intro portion. While I have watched Ben grow into the job I can see he still depends on prompters for some things, not a bad thing. But when his research ,or the researchers he may depend on, get things wrong i feel i must say something. no big deal really, and i usually let little things go. However this mistake was about Neville Brand being the 4th most highly decorated soldier in WW2. It was confirmed by none other than himself in a rare interview and further supplemented by reports from the military records themselves. As a live , working actor, such puff pieces are just about expected. no big deal as ive already said. But the fact that he was the oft cited 2nd, 4th and other non first, most decorated soldier has now been in public domain as incorrect for 20-25yrs already and should not be further propagated to the newer generations of movie buffs. I enjoy Ben's great anecdotes but the story about Neville Brand is not correct. He was certainly a decorated soldier, having won the silver star for gallantry purple heart and battle ribbons with stars, campaign ribbons and more. I am no military buff or expert but do know about some of the things and since Mr Brand decided to set the record straight I think it is up to us to maintain that approach. A small point but significant and should have been picked up had the researcher read past the first line of any bio on Neville Brand. showed a sloppy , less than professional undertaking. embarrassing, if it isnt then shame on them.

hey, this was a schtootz who sat in with his 2 young turk buddies the nite Hillary lost so doan expect too much.

there must be boundaries on human actions as some human thought is beyond the pail of normalcy and rational behavior. the left argues no, let it be and let it occur.
so, in the future should we condemn the setting off of a nuclear dirty bomb by some radical jihadist cell or do we embrace it as a new form of diversity?

Older:
Top star of all time John Wayne
1. Monty Clift
2. John Barrymore
3. Laurence Olivier
4. Spencer Tracy
5. Yul Brynner
6. Marlon Brando
7. Jack Lemmon
8. Peter O'Toole
9. Lionel Barrymore
10. Robert Mitchum
More Current:
1. Anthony Hopkins
2. Morgan Freeman
3. Daniel Day Lewis
4. Kenneth Branaugh
5. Ralph Fiennes
6. Denzel Washington
7. Colin Firth
8. Brad Pitt
9. Ryan Gosling
10. Adrien Brody
It's really hard to come up with the top ten for the older stars because there are just so many I like.
there. I fixed it for you, monty.

are the Oscar statuettes of the same manufacturing quality of say 50 or 60 years ago?
are they as good as say salvatore di pasquale's 1958 best foreign film statuette?

and what does diversity in it of itself have to do with alleviating the conditions of poverty anyway? these rich phonies continue to have the gall to act like the awarding of these statuettes and the glory and fame attached to all this meaningless glitz has something to do with improving people's lives?
the whole thing is a party for rich Hollywood celebs who somehow imagine that their wealth makes them great humanitarians.
and they are wrong! the rest of America can still think well outside and far away from their narcissistic veil.
