For those of you who are subscribers for the TCM Now Playing Guide Email. You may have herd from Ben Mainkawitz that the 2020 Classic Film Festival has now been cancelled. Due to this virus going around. I am so sorry to hear this. I know you all were really looking forward to it. So I wanted to send a message to everyone who was going and attending. I haven’t been yet. But I’m hopping to go and attend sometime too. Hopefully it will happen next year. In the meantime. You all could look forward to this year’s 2020 TCM Classic Cruise this October. Me too. Someday. Again. I am so sorry to hear about this and for the inconvenience. Thank you.

Oh. Ok and drinking like a Pirate was what I meant.

Wasn’t he also in Walt Disney’s Davy Crockett And The River Pirates? Isn’t he the guy who talks George Russell into drinking a Pirate or something like that? When he’s already had what he’s used to or something like that and he drinks more and gets drunk?

Carey Grant.

I would also like to see Carey Grant in Father Goose and Houseboat and Tom Thumb.

I would like to see Dean Martin In The Matt Helm franchise again. All of Alfred Hitchcock’s movies and if these could maybe be included with them? The AFI Life Achievement Award A Tribute To Alfred Hitchcock 1979 and the documentary Dial H For Hitchcock. Charlton Heston In Secerts Of The Incas and The Great Muppet Caper 1981.

That’s Mel Brooks.

Thank you. I actually have the complete first and second season on DVD. It used to be on Netflix too. But I don’t think it is anymore. It sounds like he had one. But I’m not sure.

Did Alfred Hitchcock have an accent?

I think I might see it. I saw the original when it was on Essentials Jr and the first remake with Chevy Chase and Darrel Hannah. Those were great. So I think this one will be great too. When is it coming out again or is it already out?

It will actually be an all day TCM tribute this Thursday. I can’t wait. I am so really looking forward to it. What are your favorite Kirk Douglas movies and roles and what are you really looking forward to this Thursday? Didn’t he actually look like Michael when he was young? We will all really miss you a whole lot Kirk and we all really love you a whole lot.

Alright. Thank you. Maybe that’s what Ben was talking about last night.

Didn’t Eddie Muller show Kiss Of Death on Noir Alley or is it coming to it next month?

Who did Ben just say did this movie? Detective Story and all kinds of other movies?

I was actually just wondering. Which event do they have the TCM Trivia Tournament? The TCM Classic Film Festival? On the TCM Classic Cruise or both?

Oh. So that was the very last made for TV movie and movie he did before he died. Inherit The Wind. I think I remember that too. Was it on CBS? If not. I think he also did another made for TV movie and movie before he died. That was on CBS. But I don’t think I remember what it was called though. He was such a really wonderful actor. Wasn’t he and we all really loved him a whole lot didn’t we and we all still really miss him a whole lot. Don’t we? He was 71 years old when he died too. I remember that. I remember hearing it on the news and I think they said he appeared in over 70 films. Cool. He had a really wonderful career. Didn’t he?

Whoa. That’s just so cool. This is one of my all time favorite Disney movies. I rented it when I was a kid. I bought the rerelease on VHS. I got the Disney Blu-Ray and DVD combo pack for my Birthday a few years ago and now I could watch it on Disney+. Cool. Great songs too. Of course. When You Wish Upon A Star. My Little Wooden Head. Give A Little Wistle. Hi Diddle Dee. I’ve Got No Strings. Great songs. It’s also one of my all time favorite rides at Disneyland. Pinocchio’s Daring Journey. I just love it. I’ve loved it ever since I was 5 years old. Since the very first time I went to Disneyland. Great movie and great ride. So is it the 80th Anniversary? Do you think Lenoared Malton will maybe show it as part of Treasures From The Disney Vault sometime and do you think they will maybe show it at the TCM Classic Film Festival again this year and has Lenoared Malton actually introduced the Disney movies there?

Great. Thank you.

Are the TCM Classic Film Festival and the TCM Classic Cruise Facebook pages separate or are they both part of TCM’s Facebook page?

This is one of my all time favorite Disney movies. Disney’s Honey I Shrunk The Kids 1989. I remember when I first saw it at the theatre when it first came out. I saw it at the theatre twice. I could not stop talking about it. I just really loved it a whole lot and still do. I really love the whole Honey trilogy a whole lot. Maybe Lenoared Malton will show Honey I Shrunk The Kids as part of Treasures From The Disney Vault sometime. Maybe with Tummy Trouble too. Just like at the movies and on VHS and maybe the whole trilogy too. That would be so cool. At the very end of Honey I Shrunk The Kids. When the Salinski’s invite the Thompson’s for Sunday dinner? What was Nick talking about right before the credits when he went. Hey wait. I get it. French Class. Ha Ha?

Cool. I knew he was a writer for Sid Caesar’s Your Show Of Shows. Woody Allen was to ha? Cool. He’s a really great and really funny guy too isn’t he? I also really love him a whole lot too and Hey. His movie that was on the other night? I think it was either last night or the night before. That one’s actually in black & white. Isn’t it?

What do you mean TCM is bad?

And isn’t Mel Brooks also the executive producer of this one? Like he is of The Fly from 1986 with Jeff Goldblum? I think he is. If I remember right?

Great. Thank you. I knew that was it.

Ok. Great. Thank you and yes. Dr Strangelove was on the other night.
