A Paramount film you'd like to see on TCM
alleybj replied to TopBilled's topic in General Discussions
Yes. It’s the transformation of CBS All Access, and it will feature Paramount films, presumably old and new, along with CBS Viacom offerings and other tidbits. -
alleybj started following New Pop Up Ads During Films, A Paramount film you'd like to see on TCM, "Overboard" (scheduled for later today) and 4 others

I wonder if they will be harder to obtain once Paramount plus is launched next week. -
Sir Sidney finally gets a TCM birthday salute!

I really wish TCM would show The Lost Man from 1969. -
Lucille Ball/Desi Arnaz Biopic to come from Aaron Sorkin
alleybj replied to lydecker's topic in General Discussions
I think it probably has to do with the Will and Grace tribute to Lucy. Messing was spot on perfect. She might not be first choice to play Lucille Ball, but she’s a perfect Lucy Ricardo. -
"Overboard" (scheduled for later today)
alleybj replied to sfdutchboy's topic in General Discussions
Actually, it was remade in 2018 with Anna Faris, but the genders were switched, so that sort of proves your point. -
help with old movie title, 60's or early 70's
alleybj replied to RichD's topic in Information, Please!
Sounds exactly like the twilight zone episode called it’s a good life, with Billy Mumy. It was remade in the movie with Kathleen Quinlan. Only caveat, in both cases it was a young boy, but the situation sounds exactly the same. -
Actress Dame Diana Rigg (1938-2020)
alleybj replied to MikaelaArsenault's topic in General Discussions
It’s available on Blu Ray. Great quality. Great film. Tour de force by Ms. Rigg. I bet she had fun doing it. -
The Plot Thickens I’m Still Peter Bogdanovich
alleybj replied to David Guercio's topic in General Discussions
Confirmed. The late 80s vhs does indeed reveal a bit of male genitalia when the nude actor greets Jacy at the pool party. More half than full frontal, but the camera definitely ranges a few inches lower than the dvd. -
How do we complain about the programming? It is happening more and more... where I have to change the channel from TCM to anything intelligent that I can find as there are no classic movies showing anywhere... why is that happening more and more?
alleybj replied to Sitar_Man's topic in General Discussions
I completely disagree. I watch TCM specifically to see films from the 60 s and 70s, and I’m thrilled with their selections. From my standpoint, though, they show way too much from the 40s and earlier. To each his own. -

Interesting that TCM blew up the image the other night when the guy got out so we didn't see below his waist, but not the girl. We'll assume that's because it was still in prime time... But so much for the uncut part of "uncut and commercial free" (and, yeah, that can be a double entendre). I didn’t see it in its original run, so I’m not sure if your memory is correct, but the official dvd release is cropped the same as what TCM showed, so I don’t think you can blame them for censorship. They just showed what’s currently available. -
Chariots of Fire was a much bigger upset. No one saw that one coming. Most prognosticators thought 1917 would win, but most of them also said that Parasite could be a spoiler. And it was.

If you’re a fan of Nicholas Clay sans clothing, there’s quite a difference.

FYI, the version of The Night Digger shown last night appears to have been the longer version from the DVD , rather than the truncated version previously shown by TCM

I just watched the TCM preview of upcoming Christmas movies that follows Career Girls, and Christmas in Connecticut was definitely included.

My provider is Comcast, and I use TiVo to record and then offload movies to a hard drive. Plex then indexes them and let’s me stream them at will. There’s a Plex app for TiVo, Appletv, Roku and more. So far the pop ups have been not that annoying now that I know where they’re coming from. I don’t know whether an upgrade to the paid Plex subscription might make them go away.
