I'm not sure on those, I just think they weren't individually listed during the Cartoon Alley days. So mark those up as a "maybe". My data project is really geared to track the feature films. I wouldn't be surprised if the MGM ones had been shown before.

That Wine Club sure gets around!
Movie Collector OH replied to yanceycravat's topic in General Discussions
Survivorman had a nice flow to it. I never did get around to seeing the spinoff of Survivorman, mostly when a show ends you never hear from them again, and I just wasn't aware he had a newer series. Probably the most flawed was American Chopper. They would literally pick each other's work off the bench and throw it down to the floor, smashing it. So not very good continuity if you were actually trying to follow them on their bike construction. I never got into the whole Stormchaser thing. I think from what I've read in the past, including comments, the form of digital IMAX being marketed for standard dimension theater screens aren't really anything out of the ordinary compared to what else is out there in digital cinemas. That wouldn't include the larger proprietary IMAX screens you find in museums and science centers, which have also recently been refitted with digital projectors - I'm sure those are quite special. P.S. Oh yeah I agree on your last point. -
I could look into making a report to do that kind of work, in particular something like this: http://moviecollector.us/reports/3)unique-features_movies-only.htm The more similar to one of my existing reports, the less I'd have to do. Counts only, not titles or descriptions.

Did this not air on Tuesday?

Getting back here to the OP @longtimer. Not trying to make any arguments or assertions. Just some results from an ongoing project of mine. This is one of several statictics reports that show hard numbers on what TCM has actually been showing, based on past schedules. This particular link is dedicated just to full-length movies, showing how many they played from each decade, each year of operation. It is all about proportion. 1998 and 1999 are only about half in, but they are still good for this purpose. Same goes for this year as it develops (numbers shown up through April). http://www.moviecollector.us/reports/3)unique-features_movies-only.htm

Looks like it was cancelled. They had a good run, I remember at one point Walmart had a whole side of a shelf of their things like personalized tee shirts and posters, which was exceptional for any TV show like that. I have watched a bunch of shows on those channels over the years, including DD, American Pickers, Pawn Stars, American Restoration, Counting Cars, American Chopper, Ice Road Truckers, and Survivorman (Les Stroud) - as well as some shorter run shows such as Airplane Repo. A few of the non-premium shows that I ever found watchable on all of cable/satellite TV outside of TCM. I don't know that any of them have had wine clubs though. Maybe you could have one per station. I think though that if Duck Dynasty could have had its own wine club, then American Chopper could have had something in its day too. -
Just got back from a dinner date with the lady. I see April has been posted. I'll get that incorporated into my project, then come back and report the damage.

Now it has been reported that the NBA loves its wine, though one would be hard pressed to find any real connections between TCM and the NBA. The wine itself would have to be the conspiracy. The NBA's Secret Wine Society http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/22358028/the-nba-obsession-wine -
Title for an old horror film
Movie Collector OH replied to mattspease's topic in Information, Please!
Yeah like I said I don't believe I've found any candidates so far. I did look and found your thread on the other forum. Plenty of good suggestions, some of which I might try to see. Someone jokingly suggested Just Imagine (1930)... LOL One of my all-time favorites. FWIW, I also came upon The Black Room (1935) in a previous search. Except all these other guys were doing this last year it looks like. -
Title for an old horror film
Movie Collector OH replied to mattspease's topic in Information, Please!
I'm on my way out now so I'll have to look at it tonight. A few quick thoughts I had on Manxman (1929): IMDB key words: attempted-suicide, friendship-between-men, father-daughter-relationship, father-disapproves-of-suitor, father-in-law-son-in-law-relationship, fisherman, lost-at-sea, presumed-dead " creepy tower like castle" may or may not be related to the Inn on the Isle of Man. No idea on gypsies, outside of "friendship-between-men" So even if it is not the same movie the OP was looking for, there are indeed similarities. P.S. LOL So is that where we are at now? We have to turn to Russia in order to see our own movies? Actually it does make a bit of sense, in a wrong sort of way. -
Title for an old horror film
Movie Collector OH replied to mattspease's topic in Information, Please!
Nevertheless, there didn't seem to be any "presumed-dead" movies in IMDB's list which were direct matches. These two seemed the closest possibilities. I went from about 1928 up to about 1962 or 1963 I think. These two happened to also be listed on my TCM list, but I didn't start there as that would have been more limiting - though my TCM list actually accounts for most of IMDB's "presumed-dead" movies. Both of them have Youtube clip samples, check them out. I wouldn't count them out based on the verbatim you see online alone. -

Movie Collector OH replied to mattspease's topic in Information, Please!
Just a couple more options to kick around: Manxman (1929) seems like it could be a possibility. Also have a look at The Stranger Came Home (1954) [The Unholy Four (1954)]. Either of these have the presumed dead element. Also both are in my listing for having played on TCM. -

I see you were still wondering about this. This piqued my interest too, and I remember looking for this, and couldn't seem to come to a good candidate. There were several that seemed lukewarm. I could try again if you are still wondering. Since it played on TCM it will probably be listed in this table of movies TCM has shown so far (though probably not much help in this case as it contains a lot of information). It is missing some info from 1998 and 1999. About a year and a half altogether is missing out of TCM's history. http://moviecollector.us/reports/TCM_SCHEDULES_SUMMARY_alpha.htm -

Its not in my list of priorities of things to investigate, but the can would probably at least need to be lined. -

I don't even drink beer out of a can, unless of course it is on tap (a really big can), but that doesn't count. -
Wonder if he ever referred to her affectionately in terms of "my little skill-ERR-oo-kova."

Hi cmovieviewer. No worries. You're welcome. I avoid the Daily view, and recommend the Weekly view. I put the Monthly view not far behind the Weekly view. It is just updated a little bit after the Weekly. On the PMs I have been getting. In short time I have seen this forum become little more than a political scratching post in a way that even I can't relate to. Only about 5% or 10% of the communications about my project actually happens through here, even though it is related to TCM. There have been a number of people who have PM'd me, a little bit here, but mostly elsewhere and some then carried on via email. Some create accounts just to communicate with me and have zero public posts. Another is a well known poster here. I mention them because they have all contributed older schedules to my project, or have brought things to my attention. So yes, there are more people reading than you see posting here, and your postings are appreciated as well.

A reader wrote in to tell me that Too Many Highballs (1933) was not a Premiere. It was shown on 2012-09-27. I don't consider this a major issue on my end, as the schedules have not been as complete with the shorts as with the feature length movies (> 44 minutes). So as a result shorts can mistakenly be listed by me as premieres, as I have pointed out before. There is not a whole lot I can do about that.

I Propose That Muller Take The Place Of Mankiewicz
Movie Collector OH replied to Palmerin's topic in General Discussions
There used to be a small music venue in a town where we played which served wine but not beer. Behind their parking lot was chain fence and what I thought was a junkyard behind that. This was right around the time they banned open containers in vehicles, so I brought my beer unopened and dealt with it when I got there. I brought large 20 oz styrofoam cups with lids to pour it in for the guys and myself. Then after dark I went outside and threw the bottles as hard as I could over the fence and into the junkyard. The owner and I became friends and I got sick of being discreet with my beer at about the same time, so one night I just started bringing in a six-pack. I walked right past him and told him not to p--- me off, if he wanted to charge a corking fee just ask. He just looked at me and laughed. I later learned that the junkyard was an auxiliary impound lot. Probably not much help as far as the cinema multiplex scene goes, that just brought back a memory or two. -

Not a big deal at all. Flu only lasted a few days for me. Just needed to set aside some time so I could focus. I added it as a normal report. You're welcome. -
Need help finding the name of a movie
Movie Collector OH replied to edgarbirdtcm's topic in Information, Please!
I seem to remember this one having some sort of oddness in the opening with a breakfast scene. That is from memory though, so I cannot verify at the moment. Five Minutes To Live (1961) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054817/ -

A question for people who put images in their posts
Movie Collector OH replied to LsDoorMat's topic in Information, Please!
Probably not under any obligations, being that it is a museum piece. It might come back to their private collection policy. Not sure if the owner would agree though.
