Good example of "stirring the pot". ]
Personally, I don't "worship at the altar of TCM"...in fact, I rarely watch it any longer.

I don't believe there is such a thing as a "clique" around here...only the regulars who have been here for a long time.
IMHO, slapping a label like "clique" onto a chosen few is an infantile thing to do. It's simply a "provocative at" in itself. I could just as easily slap a "clique" label onto those who are suddenly welcoming back those who "stir the pot", as was done further down in this thread. That sounds clique-ish to me.

I can't see any reason why TCM doesn't make more use of the SAP audio...once in awhile before a movie, there's a screen which states there's "descriptive audio" for the visually impaired on the SAP channel. SAP can be used for a lot of things...alternate foreign audio tracks, music-only, etc....but I assume the broadcast master would have to contain that extra information, and the studio would likely have to be the oens to create such a master for TCM's use.

> {quote:title=musicalnovelty wrote:}{quote} One problem with having horror hosts for TCM's horror movies is:
> As many of us fondly remember horror hosts hosting horror movies decades ago they came on and did their thing before, during commercial breaks, and after the movies. But on TCM of course, there are no commercial breaks, so the hosts wouldn't be able to much of their characters or routines, or whatever they may be known for that made them invited to be on in the first place. They'd just be introducing and then returning after the movies...only two appearances.
What's wrong with that? Rob Zombie did the same thing on TCM Underground a few years back.
Better something than nothing at all.

> I wn the 'european version' on DVD. It was inclued in the bava dvd set. Where can I purchase this Italian version ? the only version i know out now is the the one i have.
The European/Italian version can be bought by itself on Amazon Italian site:
It's a 2 disc set, with the second disc containing documentaries and other stuff relating to Mario Bava. The description says it has English subtitles, at least on the movie itself.

Absolutely...there is no point at all to having "Intro" and "Outro" listed like that. Really pointless and wasteful...not to mention that some people are likely to ask "What is an Intro?" if they're not familiar with the term.
It was a dumb idea.
-
Like I said below, Countess, I've read that some independent horror hosts would likely enjoy doing such a gig for nothing...so it wouldn't cost TCM anything (or very little). Also bear in mind there's a slew of public domain movies for TCM to choose from, so TCM could expand its horror showings for nothing.

> No, I agree: the Cukor version might've been a truly great movie if only they'd cut all the musical numbers out of it.
I have to agree again...I've seen the Judy version several times...used to have it on laserdisc....but I find it way too long and would watch it thinking I wish they'd forget the musical numbers and get on with the story.
Of course, there ARE such things as "fan edits" on the internet. Perhaps someone should do a dramatic "song-free" cut of the movie just to see how it would go.

Same here...my fave is the 1937 version.

Quite honestly, I also think it's likely DVD on a large HDTV screen. I can't imagine there'd be many such places any longer which run actual film prints.

*THE MONSTER CLUB* (1981) with Vincent Price and John Carradine, and Stuart Whitman...and Simon Ward, who just died a couple of days ago. It's an actual movie...the last one produced by Amicus...not compiled from a tv series. Based on stories by author R.Chetwynd-Hayes...which is the name of Carradine's character.
The first one you described is the "Shadmock" story. He's not telekinetic, but does a whistle that causes something to burn up.
The second one is the "Humgoo" story...it's a village full of ghouls who have eaten all the corpses in the graveyard and start luring live humans into the village.
This is the current DVD cover (I have the disc...it's tremendous).
This was the old VHS cover with Elvira.

*The Road To Rio* with Hope and Crosby (amazing what Google can turn up!).

> {quote:title=filmlover wrote:}{quote}Interestingly, another 1960s spelling change occured with a remake of a classic tale. Despite being called "The Thief of Bagdad" for the Fairbanks and the Sabu versions, the 1961 Steve Reeves version and the 1978 version were called "The Thief of Baghdad".
Yep...I've seen that "Baghdad" used too. Also a Popeye cartoon with it called "Badgag". :^0

> Thanks for the tip. I'll sample the print quality and see if they're worth watching. If they are, I'll make the sacrifice of watching them on my PC. The problem with that is that the seating isn't as comfy as the couch, and the screen is smaller.
You can either use a program to burn to DVD, or with the right connection play it on your computer and watch on your tv.

You'd have to buy the Italian DVD in order to see it.
-
It was seen in *The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao* , in one of the sideshow tents. Somewhere online I've seen a page with several photos of it in other movies, but can't locate it right now.

> It seems to me I HAVE heard background music in much of *Dracula* , but it was so faint as to be almost non-existant.
No, you're mistaken...the only music in that film are the opening and closing titles, and the concert sequence.

> {quote:title=Hoosier205 wrote:}{quote}Of course they can. That's how they ban based on duplicate accounts. That's how internet forum work, even ones using the system TCM utilizes.
Wrong. TCM admins here have specifically stated before that they don't block IP numbers because it can cause problems for others using the same IP provider. That's not how all internet forums work. Here, they simply ban an account...which explains why some who have been banned show up again under a different username account.
-
Good question...I didn't see anything on their site indicating what format was used for cinema.

> {quote:title=Megthered wrote:}{quote} If this is the same old refrain that has come from other posters, they really don't care at TCM.
...or people simply complain way too much and need to get a life.

GO AWAY. This is the umpteenth time you've posted the same damned comment about 70-80 year old movies.
If you don't like it and you "hardly watch TCM anymore", then get out of here and stop this idiotic trolling.

Assuming they CAN look at your IP number.
Yeah, let's stop avoiding it...YOU still haven't given any proof or evidence asked for.
First time member or not (and I seriously doubt you're a first -timer), you're still antagonizing and belligerent, and as someone said before, hostile towards anyone here who responds to you.
You've also done nothing except to post in this thread and continue to antagonize people here. Further evidence of your trolling.

I think TCMfan is still here, but this Hoosier is obviously trolling.
I already asked TCMWebAdmin/Michael to have a look at this thread.

I was being nice...I gave my opinion. I could say the same thing about your comment below:
