Thanks, trevor. I was wondering if I can download it to my computer. I imagine not.
All and sundry can say all and sundry about how TCM is still wonderful and magnificent and beautiful and pretty.
But it ain't. It's not what it once was. Period. Minute for minute, tone for tone, movie for movie, it's not. 3456 movies minus 256 movies notwithstanding, it's not.
Good. So it will take longer before it is AMC, I'm glad for that. I still have a few movies to tape.
But it's not what it once was in 2002. I'm glad I taped what I taped from then, and I don't care what it becomes, God speed to greed. However, no amount of fan pressure (as witnessed from AMC) can stand in the way of the money train.

Wait, wait, wait!........... :0
You, FredCDobbs, were at a Hell's Angels rally???? How very cool. Do share!
I like 'em all, Fred. Since I admire the human form in all its varieties, I can see beauty in a naked Marilyn Monroe, a clothed Carole Lombard, or a completely tattooed body, if done well.
It's cruelty I despise in human beings, not how much or how little they show of their skins.
And on any day of the week, I'll find an animal more beautiful than a human.

SusannO, it sounds as horrid as I've heard it is. So glad you're through it now. Another charmer is chickenpox, which one shouldn't wait until adulthood to experience. Guess who here hasn't had chickenpox???

TCM is just trying to be all things to all people right now. Lest I go off on my Prophet Of Doom tangent, I'll just watch bemusedly as they slide down that slippery slope towards commercials.
Fortunately, they still show gems along the way. There must still be some calmer heads in TCM corporate, alongside the new suits who thought that video was an accurate portrayal of the TCM we all love.

Sorry, JackBurley. I lost a giant post in response and went away for awhile from this topic because I was PO'ed. I'll try again! To start, here's something:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barber_(Seinfeld_episode)
What I liked was the continuity of the episode, they played snippets from The Barber Of Seville throughout. Also, the actor who played the Italian uncle at one point scoffs at his nephew, who loved ES: 'oooooh fah', an Italian phrase I hadn't heard since I was a kid.
It was just a fun episode, tied together at the end with the ending notes of the musical piece (I think).

Thanks, jdb1! AND, those shoes can be repaired.
Try to find a pair of women's shoes that can be repaired. X-(

Or, jdb1, we can take the easy route, and go back in time as men!!!

My memory is that all women wore girdles, whether or not they really needed them, and women who didn't wear them were thought of as slutty. I remember the excitement and joy we felt in the early 60s when pantyhose first went on sale. At last - no girdles, no garters making marks on your legs, no visible lines under straight skirts. Heaven!
I agree. I was a skinny little thing, and was made to wear a girdle (not sure if it was my mother or the damned nuns who demanded it), but I believe the idea was that women shouldn't 'jiggle' when they walked. How utterly stupid.
As bad as girdles were, they were matched by the horror of garter belts. Took away the joy of first being able to wear stockings. Amazing, to be old enough to remember girdles and garter belts and pantyhose (which became in their own way just as bad, fie on them all) and fountain pens (replaced by BICs)!!
But even I have to admit women dressing up even to go to the supermarket or the theater or the airport was better than the bellies hanging out as they do today on women...and men.

Wow, color me inconsistent but as a standalone music video, I loved it. That must have taken a lot of work to produce.
Thanks for the pointer to Videos, wordmaster, since I tape and don't watch TCM.
I like Nip/Tuck's(and Verizon's) I'm in love with a strict machine, so my view may be a little skewed on today's music, but I liked the pace and beat and images. I'm not sure I'd like to see it played over and over on TCM, as it doesn't fit the image I used to have of TCM, but it probably fits right into the current Cher and Anime TCM, no?
Overall, and again all by its lonesome, I'd have to rate it cool. Is it downloadable (is that a word?)?

I believe they have steel mesh wetsuits when people swim near sharks, but he may not have been in a shark infested area. I can't imagine the odds on his type of death. Very sad.
I can picture Irwin, wherever he is, is quite **** that he didn't go out fighting a croc!

Hey RockyRoad....ain't it a shame, folks didn't like this being a 'party' thread, and now they don't like it being a 'callout' thread to GarboManiac.
Tsk, tsk, ain't that a shame?

Ain't that the truth, sweetbabykmd?
And we'd better hurry. One of the requirements of the storyline in Time And Again was that the person had to stand in a place that hadn't changed since the place was built in order to be transported back to that time period, hence my insistence on standing in the lobby of the Empire State Building and going back to the 1930s.
How lovely it would be, how Twilight Zone-ish, to step out and be in a long-gone decade.
Of course the reality of it would be unpleasant...my mother would be 10 years old!
But seriously, fantasmagorically speaking, I want to do as Tim Curry, I want to go back. Who was that, who had a waaaay back machine -- Peabody and his boy Sherman!

Me, of the venetian blind and flowered couch fetish, didn't notice this thread before now?? Sheesh.
I love the house in Christmas In Connecticut.
I love any of the city apartments in all the film noir films, with their venetian blinds, shadows on the wall, flowered couches, window seats, criss cross curtains (or heavy drapes), art deco bars, chaise lounges, those 'S' seats that allow for two people to sit and converse with one another........sigh, I have to stop, I'm getting weepy because I am not living in 1935.

Don't miss it, if you like goofy fantasy movies, as I do.
This charming precursor to Freaky Friday is from 1940 and is being shown at 3:15pm on September 6th.

Ann Harding. Made Bette Davis look like Carol Burnett with drapes on her shoulders.

Please find a DVD of the British television show The Darling Buds Of May and you'll quickly see that the Cathy Zero-Jones hack can't act her way out of a paper bag. William Shatner is a thespian next to her.
I guess it's a good thing GarboManiac isn't here, as the idea of comparing that no-talent gold digger to Hedy Lamarr would make him puke.

As much as I liked Hedy in Ecstasy, I miss GarboManiac more.

drdoolittle, Medium is a very good show. However, since NBC is the network that killed Homicide, and thus is the stupidest network on the planet, I find it only SOSO that it is moving Medium OUT of its timeslot and NOT planning its return until Jan. 2007. There is a good reason that NBC is now one of the lowest rated networks, and I for one am very, very happy.
movieman1957, you are correct. Hollyweird spends more time clapping itself on the back than it does in actual good productions. Hence independent movies and HBO programs, which may or may not be good nowadays. I watch for the gowns mostly, and the chance moment of something funny. Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert had a funny moment at the Emmys, but that was about it. The rest was drek. The red carpet stuff was funny in that celebrities are for the most part idiotic and don't know how to string two sentences together without a script in front of them. This outing was no exception.
mrsl, as I mentioned, I loved Homicide, and was pleased to see Andre Braugher get another award for another show of his which had been cancelled. He won an Emmy for Homicide the year it was cancelled. He is an excellent actor. Just about all of the other shows are drek. Even Medium and The Closer are erratic. Since Rescue Me made light of rape, I have no use for a program I formerly liked very much.
mrsl, JonParker, George W is as smarmy as Clinton, much to my surprise. He just uses a disgusting smirk and religion to hide behind. I despise all politicians.

RockyRoad, I JUST remembered the name of the lovely lady who left this battleground a looooooooong time ago........therealfuster.
This was around the time another woman was trying to censor everyone here...her hair would be on fire if she were here now....and it got ugly here, in no small part from me arguing on behalf of free speech.
Well, look what free speech gets you?
Just kidding, free speech doesn't result in chaos, assholes do that.
RR, I too would like therealfuster and GarboManiac to come back, but they are perhaps not folks who thrive on combativeness, as I do. I find it funny that message boards get so ugly, no matter the subject, but I believe in decency and justice, so I will never back down or go away when confronted with trolls or censors.
Unless I am banned, that is!!! No, I won't mention the moronic little site TelevisionWithoutPity again.
I WAS pleased, however, to see that Denis Leary didn't win for Rescue Me last night, after his rape scene.

Well, since everyone else is doing it, I've just deleted my post where I didn't know Rocky Road for what he was and was nice to him and so I am deleting the message and so now this message will be at the top of this freakin' thread.
What a load of crap.

Did it again.
Happy, Rocky Road?

I loved, loved Sam Levene. He's the guy I would marry after the 'hunks' threw me over for the prettier girls.

Josephine right? You didn't mean Pam?
I forgot to include the part of the post I was responding to (I think a lot of members here might not like Pam Grier's movies from the 70s.
I sometimes like movies with sex, drugs and violence, but I don't suppose I'd recommend them to most here.
), 'my bad'!
No...yes, I meant Pam.

sweetbabykmd, I'll split the diff with you, make it 1960 and we're good to go.
Okay, I'd LIKE to make it 1950 but just look what I did to myself, I missed my hunk Robert Ryan in On Dangerous Ground.
Serves me right, now I have to wait for the rerun.

sweetbabykmd -- you go, girl.
The newest crop of posters seem to think they can control the airwaves.
