Not from any movie, but this lounge music has a special place in my collection. I have an original LP of this, originally packaged under the Enoch Light label. I have to admit the CD I made of it spins around quite well too.
Here is a direct link to a point where they seem to get in the zone. Possibly one of the best tracks of this type of all time.

Herbie The Love Bug (1968)
The Buddy Hackett character is always holding a cup of Irish Coffee whenever he is in his repair shop. Also he heats it up in the pot you see in the first picture with a blowtorch. I have tried that same thing in the past at a friend's. Works well. I forgot where I first saw it - for years I imagined it was a Dom Delouise scene until IMDB started up.

The current Invision forum software does appear to support daily reaction limits, but I couldn't find any info on their default settings (assuming TCM uses that default).
Next time you find yourself over-reacting, perhaps you should post the following image instead?
Your thoughts are in line with mine above, in that they are probably doing nothing more than using defaults for that.

Maybe I just made too many "HaHa" and "Like" REACTIONs in Speedracers very funny, sadly now DELETED, thread.
Sometimes, I just can't help myself. I see something that I think is funny and just have to REACT!
Hey welcome back. Nice to see your upvoter isn't broken.

I didn't get into that thread because well, I just didn't get into it. It looked benign to me, no ad-hominem attacks on fellow posters as far as I remember. So no complaints from me. Far more toxic things have been left up on this forum.

Here are a couple more.
This is from the same band. Great refrain.
Here is their singer Chris Norman, and what he looks and sounds like today. Joined by his own band and 1980s German pop star for a song at a concert in Russia. Original was released in 1978 as a duet with Suzi Quatro and made the US charts.

I wasn't even aware this site had any kind of quota system in place - and if they do it's for the wrong things. I guess that's "inside info" around here.

Okay, I'm not seeing anything like that.
Well, I just tried a little experiment. First Refreshed, then closed and reopened my browser. No change.
Still ben using Firefox 57.0.2 (64-bit), and haven't changed any of my settings (except resetting my Third Party Cookie preferences after I view something ON-DEMAND from TCM). And the browser was allowing me to use post reactions just before they stopped posting.
So unless Firefox just automatically changed something (like MS 10 is prone to do) then I don't think that is a factor. But I still have an older version of 32 bit Firefox on board. I will close out and open that one todouble check. Be back in a minute.It just makes zero sense to me that anyone at TCM would take the time to go in and just do that to your account, or that it might even be possible.
One thing to consider is that you just used the same user profile, but with a different revision of the same browser. So I wouldn't expect different results.
If you want, in Firefox you can click on Help/Restart With Add-ons Disabled. Then after it prompts you for "Refresh" or "Safe Mode", click on "Safe Mode". Be sure to click on Safe Mode. That will restart it without add-ons. You can resume later on by closing and reopening as usual.

I just clicked on "Thanks" to you for that MCOH, but I don't see it showing up?
Me either. Maybe your browser has a recently added/updated plugin that is too strict? For instance I have a plugin called YesScript2 which shuts off Javascript for a specific website if I click on its icon while that site is up. That is for certain other websites that constantly refresh themselves as I read them, causing me to lose my place. It totally renders this site useless though, as it removes the buttons and posting field since in this case they are driven by Javascript.

I have the rinky-dink reaction icons disabled on mine (via Adblock Plus custom filters), but the words still show up. That is good enough for me, but nothing seems different on my end right now.

Ratings are bunk.
Related topic : I don't consult ratings at all prior to choosing a movie to watch (if possible). Scanning Neflix pages had become frustrating for me because I found it difficult and time consuming to weigh all the factors. I'm now conducting an experiment whereby I choose a movie basically at random. I would like to know the actors but that's it. Reading Netflix blurbs has been long verboten for me because they tend to reveal too much (or simply wrong). I go by the actors and the images on the cover but after that it is an intuitive choice. I have found so far that in most cases the choices have been acceptable. I have enjoyed movies that I feel certain would have been rejected. But it works the other way too at times. I am currently on the 8-at-time DVD plan and if i don't like something back to the mailbox it goes. I just got sick and tired of my own judgments and assumptions about unknowns and rejecting a movie because I don't like this actor or whatever ... just order and go cold turkey. I admit I may not always know in advnce what I may like or not like. Order and go cold turkey, life is good.
This. I mainly just use the number of voters as a quick indicator on public sightings of a film. Even this is fallible as people tend to have very short memories, so you have 10 million ratings for some recent crap, and only about 100 for something from the past. But let's say a movie only has 5 to 10 votes. That says something. And so does 30 votes, as does 0 votes.
In addition there are a few certain top IMDB reviewers who are consistent in their disdain for some of the things I like. I understand their reasoning, but still pay attention just because they are consistent. So if they hate something, I look at their reasoning and sometimes consider that a recommendation for myself. An avatar of a little brown pooch comes to mind.

I could really go off on a rant here, but suffice that I certainly believe that it is disgraceful for the pharmaceutical industry to have such political clout in this country that they are allowed to "rape" the general populace with impunity for the sake of obscene levels of corporate gain (read that greed).
Of course those sentiments can easily be applied to a host of corporate "industries" in the states, and elsewhere.
sadly. Nailed it.

A couple days ago my satellite DVR went black for a few movies on TCM. No service upgrade messages, no "cannot find signal" messages, no DVR bootup messages before the picture came back online (I had that recorded too coincidentally), it just went from nothing to a picture and sound. So this is what was received under normal DVR operating conditions. I guess there's a first time for everything. I wasn't around, so I didn't look into it further. Being that this is February it is all stuff that is easily replaced, so not a big deal on my end.

Don't get me started on this. Glad to see this one is still up. He was a big hit in Europe with this some time ago. ＬＭＡＯ

Thank you for doing all that mcOH. There should be a direct link for us to post statistics for every newbie complaint: "TCM programming has changed_______" (in whatever way they imagine)
It is a bit unfortunate that with the new forum website design the signature area has not been enabled. I still put my website link in the tiny letters up by my name, though people would need to copy and paste it into the browser.
In general I think my "Report #3" is probably the best for this purpose. There are other reports which either get broader in scope or more specific in various ways. But this one mainly covers unique instances of feature length movies by year.

Fascinating info! Thanks so much for such detail and for going all the way back to 1994. I want to study this a bit more before making any conclusions but, just on a cursory glance, taking a single decade for example, the past years have clearly seen a sharp drop in the premieres of 1930's films, to be sure. On the other hand, since TCM premiered so many of that decade's films early on in its history, that makes a certain amount of sense. I look forwarding to parsing this info this weekend. Thanks again!
Yeah, all that indicates is that they burned through a lot of the 1930s premieres earlier on. In the real world that doesn't mean much of anything, it is just a number, as you have seen in my prior "Report #3" in this thread they still have a bell-curve type of emphasis on the mid-century films.
It is true they have been including more foreign films over the years, as they become available, especially right now since this is Feb. May these serve as a reminder that different countries do each have their own irrevocable identities and long-term heritage, in spite of whatever money junkies try to do or say in their infinite greed.
There are still the out-of-house films which need to be shown for the first time on TCM from American studios like Paramount, Disney, Fox, Universal, poverty row, etc. Also I think they should continue to go through the rare early sound stuff that they have shown before.
It was easy to go all the way back to 1994, using some of my original work from other reports. Computers can speed things up though one shouldn't lose sight of "trust but verify", which is critical for any real analytical work. So much of the time goes into spot-checking to make sure it is working correctly. The numbers in the earlier years might be a little different with a more complete set of data (in particular from 1998 and 1999), but overall this is getting pretty close. The early 2000s seem kind of sparse in premieres, though they are complete. All in all no big surprises for me.

That would be great if/when you had time. No need for titles or descriptions -- just was looking for decade "groups." Everybody here keeps claiming that there are so many more post 1950's movies making their way on to TCM over the past 2 years. I was curious to see if the actual premieres numbers would hold up that theory. Thanks again. If I can be any help, let me know.
Okay, that was easy. Let me know what you think of the numbers. These are only entries which I have IMDB data for, and >44min. This includes all feature-length movie premieres, but not the shorts.
http://moviecollector.us/reports/3a)unique-features_movies-only_Historical-Premieres.htmThere are about one or two non-movie entries for each year (though not consistently) which account for the red carpet silliness and so forth that they stick in. Whether or not they get counted here just depends on whether or not there are IMDB matches for them - if not, then they don't get counted. In this report, that is generally only expressed in the last line of any TCM broadcast year. These types of programs also add a few entries here and there in the later decades on my other reports, that is about the biggest discrepancy.

Beyond Survival was more of a side project, whilst Stroud took a break from the rigors of demonstrating survival techniques & concentrated more on the lives & culture of native groups isolated from the modern world.
Yes, it would been more interesting if the show had concentrated on the bike build process, rather than the father/son shenanigans. Wheeler Dealers does the build thing better (even if some of the builds don't make financial sense).
A decently sized IMAX presentation can be very immersive & footage from the middle of a tornado would be quite something to behold. With Stomchasers, the interesting thing was the science behind predicting where/when the tornadoes would likely touch down & with the process & technology Sean Casey employed in the form of 2 heavily armored vehicles designed to take his team & his ginormous IMAX film camera safely into the eye of the storms. The first series concentrated much more on the science/tech, but each proceeding series strayed further into the now usual reality domain.
I didn't imagine they actually took a real IMAX film camera along. Those are about the size of a kitchen table. Well you just said so... So I guess somewhere at a large proprietary IMAX theater there is/was tornado footage, in addition to a reality show. Twice the amount of bang for their buck.

I saw that at as well. Went through all my schedules but couldn't find what movie had originally been scheduled.
Oh, okay. So no schedule discrepancy for what actually was shown, and what it says was shown.
sadly.
