  1. I haven't watched any, but maybe it is one of these. Emma (1996) Howards End (1992) Sense and Sensibility (1995) The Age Of Innocence (1993) The Piano (1993) The Wings of the Dove (1997)
  2. In case you use Firefox or Chrome, "Youtube Audio And Video Downloader" is your friend. It captures and saves the stream to a conventional media file on your machine. Just be aware that this would eventually fill up your hard drive on your computer, unless you offload the captured movies to another place.
  3. I've been keeping an ongoing list of movies and features TCM has shown, and I don't see anything there. That's not to say they never played it, I just don't have any indication of whether or not they did (shorts often don't get listed in their schedules). http://moviecollector.us/reports/TCM_SCHEDULES_SUMMARY_alpha.htm
  4. In addition, more adjustments and calibrations can be made with digital (or analog)...let's just say "electronic" projection gear, than with film. There are simply more opportunities to get it wrong. Since the concepts are familiar to many, you end up with all kinds of "experts" (i.e. DIY Radio Shack or Geek Squad types who feel compelled to jump in but really don't have a clue or know which questions to ask). Projector-wise, with commercial-grade digital cinema projector installations, it can be like having a Bugatti Veyron in front of them and then tinkering with it as if it were a Honda Civic. With film basically all the adjustments are made by industry experts during exposure, editing or printing. Fewer variables for the end user to manage to screw up, other than "is the lamp going to need replacing soon" or "is the projector set up correctly and properly maintained so it won't chew up the film". With digital cinema there are parts that can be adjusted by the end user (but shouldn't), they should only be adjusted/maintained by the qualified installer/calibration technician. It is not a difficult problem to solve.
  5. I actually like Joe E. Brown, in general I try to collect anything he is in. There have been some stinkers though, in particular the ones produced by David E. Lowe. Not to top your experience, but I will never think of Yanni the same. Last I listened to him was during a particularly lengthy and unusual MRI scan back some eight years ago. Just got back from a road trip, but no highly unusual movie viewing locations.
  6. Hysteresis? A tone wheel from a Hammond organ perhaps?
  7. I'm glad you cleared that up... P.S. It might not even be from Korea. Keep in mind search engines work by using pattern recognition. So any old crap like this could work in theory anywhere else in the world too, whether it is human-readable or not. It just needs to have a pattern that can be followed by the search engines. So the crap like you see here, which they would splatter all over the Internet, would also be duplicated on their site - possibly even in white font on a white background so you wouldn't see it. That would in theory raise their site in some search results, as well as this TCM site on some search engines. See the old "Page Rank" formula for instance - from back when Google actually provided search results (not their current super-duper highly thought out interpretation on what they want you to see, which they use today). In any case, this is something that went on with free websites back in the 1990s, really crappy ones like Geocities and Tripod. It is really old school. In fact I had forgotten about it until just now. Not my line of work.
  8. After looking into this some more and not making much sense with character maps, at least for now. This is likely what we are seeing, there are literally hundreds of characters in this font: I propose that they try this instead, for a little variety: It adds a personal touch I think. You just need to really zoom in on the characters, and that might be difficult for a spammer. It would make all the other spam look err...uh...dead.
  9. I've uploaded my Premiere list, as well as updates to the rest of my project for this month. Cartoons may or may not actually be premieres this month. EDIT: Please see this thread for further details on the former Cartoon Alley schedule blocks. http://forums.tcm.com/topic/165920-cartoon-alley/ PPS: I added the referenced Cartoon Alley shorts into my project and reran. No changes to my current Premieres list. Premieres: http://moviecollector.us/reports/Future_Premieres.htm Main project page: http://moviecollector.us/reports.htm
  10. Looks like my DVR will be running non-stop too. There is a lot to like about this month.
  11. Mine is just like me...tall, dark, handsome, upright member of society.
  12. That's my favorite. I like it in B&W, but wondering if it looked like that in real life. I think that dress as a B&W print would be great.
  13. Landing scene from Morons From Outer Space, a satirical spoof on many different movies of its era: https://youtu.be/pLcJLWq01_g?t=121
  14. Neither here nor there, but just a literal story about junk about to fall out of the sky: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5486985/Lower-Michigan-crash-site-falling-Chinese-space-station.html The Tiangong-1 space station (artist's impression), which is hurtling towards Earth carrying a 'highly toxic chemical', will likely hit sometime between March 29 and April 9, revised estimates say
  15. Finally got around to seeing some of Alicia Malone's intros. I was caught off guard, but in a good way. Maybe it was the accent, or maybe it was her eyes which drew me in, in a classic starlet sort of way. I found her approach friendly and conversational. Two nice choices, in my opinion.
  16. Looks like a cushy job. I wonder what the benefits are like.
  17. LOL I have a Windows 7 partition on a removable HDD for my laptop. Haven't used it once, it has sort of become a storage drive. I have a couple other computers (desktops) which are Windows but not Internet-connected anymore. They run my video capture and video processing software.
  18. I'm in the Linux users crowd. But at the same time, that doesn't make me a "purple penguin".
  19. Lester Lanin "The Madison Avenue Beat" 1961 Space Age Pop TV Commercials FULL ALBUM. "Have fun listening and dancing to 58 radio and TV commercial favorites:" This looks like fun.
  20. Finally, for now, here is a short with Vangelis and different members of the European Space Agency. This is from the Rosetta mission, where they landed an unmanned module on a comet. Vangelis composed special music for their mission. They took this and some of his other music to listen to while up in space. In addition to selected tracks, this shows him at work a little bit, and the astronauts expressing appreciation and meeting with him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosetta_(spacecraft) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPzDG6HTHJ4
  21. Here are a couple sections of the Vangelis score from Bladerunner (1982). Includes actual footage from the movie. from IMDB: A blade runner must pursue and try to terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator. Director: Ridley Scott Stars: Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083658/?ref_=nv_sr_1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VgNoKc_Gdw
  22. Here is another Vangelis theme, this one from the French nature TV series, "L'opéra sauvage" (1979). Americans might recognize it from the 1980s Ernest & Julio Gallo Wine TV commercial campaign. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEXUxVzJhuM
