Sorry, computer's got a virus. I apoligize for this thread I stumbled onto the UK TCM website. Honest mistake.
-
What happened to tcm.com? Maybe I'm the first to see it because of high-speed internet. Quit taking a shortcut from your favorites folders and type in TCM on google anew. I don't like tcm changing. Sorry if I'm whining.

TCMPROGRAMMER, please go to page 2 of the General Discussions.

FOR ME AND MY GAL was colorized once AND Cabin in the Sky. It seems like I heard SWING TIME was once too but that wouldn't of been from Ted Turner would it? Going a bit off topic now, I don't think most people here are star wars fans but I am and I think it's terrible what lucas has done. Some people argue it's the principle of the matter that you don't go changing film. I simply just do not like cgi and miss the stop-motion and Jim Henson puppets and all the nostalgia. Ray Harryhausen doesn't rework his films because computers were invented. I do acknowledge that he is director but he should give the originals that do exist sitting in the vault. There's a similar thread on this but no one's commented and it's already on page 2.

Also please go to Jerry Beck's Cartoon Research and ask him. He'll even tell you what's the current status of this coming out on dvd if you ask him cause he's an industry insider. He's like a walking cartoon encyclopedia. And ask all these questions on his forums too. Gotta sign up though but it's easy.

I've got a great idea for Warner Home Video. How about a two-disc special edition of Cabin in the Sky and one of the extra bonus features could be a Lena Horne commentary and interview with Robert Osborne. I was kinda hesitant about posting this with it seeming I jinxed on my King Kong idea and then Fay Wray passing two days later but I'm not a stuperstitious person. Please don't let anything happen to Ms. Horne. They could also include the Ted Turner colorized version since I think there would be disc space to spare for this movie although the main feature would be an original restored version. Would make for a good comparison.
-
Pardon if this sounds straitforward but does anyone else hate the idea of this new dvd coming out? The special editions were fun to watch but my word, it shouldn't replace the originals. This is total disrespect for film! TCMPROGRAMMER, I know it's hard to get 20th century fox films and all but is there any possibility that tcm could show them once for a one time engagement, letterboxed of course? After all tnt and tbs have shown the originals and I know tcm would be the best place (better than fmc?). It would even help promote the "great" dvd.

Doggone it I'm jealous of you! Did you get to meet any of them? Please brag.

I saw this movie last night and was amazed by it. From the very beginning it was great. That opening music with the waves really pierced into me. It was like the spooky, build-you-up theme music from the new spiderman movies. I also thought the script was intelligent. I really got into it. It wasn't a silent but in a silent fashion, much like Modern Times. It was a great print because it was preserved, instead of necessarily being restored by present people some 70 years later. My only concern is were there any scenes originally in color such as the rainbow? Regardless a great print! Thank you TCM for showing it. What do you think of this?

I think the company that owns them now is CLASSIC MEDIA. Just type that in on google and let you're voice be heard. Send emails and get the address for more effective "snail mail". They even have phone numbers to their marketing and home video departments. They're pretty accessible and easy to work with. I think they're even considering doing a tv Mr. Magoo boxset due to only one request. CLASSIC MEDIA are also the guys that put out the recent Rocky and Bullwinkle boxsets through Sony. I'm pretty sure they own a large number of the FAMOUS STUDIOS, paramount theatricals which also includes the likes of casper and little lulu which is also on dvd through sony. What I'm hoping for though is just a complete boxset of the entire library of all these cartoon shorts. Ask for the paramount theatricals.
-
All I know about this is that it was made by FAMOUS STUDIOS, therefore, a paramount picture and made in the 40s. Back during the golden age of hollywood every major studio had animated shorts released under their name and paramount was no exception. They put out the things like Betty Boop and Popeye. Type in BCDB on google and click the first one. They're a world of help.

Has this King Kong been on dvd and does wb own it? I had an idea of an SE dvd of this with a Fay Wray commentary if she's able. Well, what do ya'll think, good idea, bad idea.
-
Like David Niven and Greer Garson.

He also lives in a loft apartment in ny with an old 1920s refrigerater, giant wrap-around sofa, ton-o-coffe-table-sized books, coffe-cappachino-latte-maker, a complete bar with martinis when ever you want, an italian restraunt downstairs, just to add a few to you're imagination. You're description kinda reminds me of that shepfield guy off the nanny so he may be british too.

I'm sure a lot of high hippies appreciate MAN WITH A MOTION PICTURE CAMERA. I wonder how leo feels about this movie. The whole point of it is vision and camera tricks and not dialogue. Would you're whole dicsision change on it if it did have a few words but still the same film and didn't dwell on dialogue? "It's far out wicked man!"
-
Well cjh5081, it seems we typed at the same time. You beat me to it.
-
Finally I've found something to agree with ol' leo on, well he does make a lot of good points but this stands out. I to hate it when channels speed up the credits or let an advertisement pop up (amc has made a habbit out of this). It's like they want to hurry up and get the film over with. This applys mostly to newer movies. This is the chance for you to here some good music (on some good movies) from the sound track. It just shows much disrespect for the film.
-
For me it weren't that it was dark it was just, well, stupid. haha.
-
Hey, nice to have you back roldfi...er ken! What are the odds!
-
Yeah the third one, INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE is my favorite too. Has a lot of memmorable scenes and Sean Connery's great in it. And yes, the second one wasn't that great.
-
Roldfilm once said the universal movies had a special atmospheric look to them back in their day. Very cool.
-
Well you know I'm happy! An early suggestion though, do you think you'll be able to borrow any universal shorts (woody woodpecker, etc). Cn did this about seven years ago but discontinued it. And maybe other studios shorts. I don't want to upset the schedual any, maybe select a variety of studio shorts that share a common theme in 30 minutes. Wb and mgm weren't the only rivals! Plus any other non-animated shorts from any studio other than wb or mgm. I remember when tcm showed newsreels, you know each studio had one.
-
What ever happened to deendaisy? I don't think anyone liked b/w more than that guy.
-
Excuse me for butting in but I think tcm is doing a darn good job. The logo really doesn't hurt anything and it will just make you appreciate dvd more. And I think you're just trying to make trouble haterlogo. If you were really trying to watch tcm right now you wouldn't be typeing because no one can be bothered by the logo that much.
Do you know any?
in Information, Please!
