    Did you try and contact TCM prior to registering to see what their views on such situations are. Possibly this may also help you decide, based on their answers if this a place where you would feel comfortable posting.

     

    Plus at age 14, hopefully you have made your parents aware of the forementioned situation. Possibly they can put some parental controls on the computer that may also help. I'm not that familar with them, so don't know if that is realistic or not.

  2. What does this have to do w/TCM? If it bothers you so much, why do you repeat it for others to see? Possibly they have children who read this board and don't want them exposed to such things.

     

    Plus, only one person responded and did not defend a person using profanity.

     

    It seems mighty strange to me lately that there have been some new users that have been brining up things which have nothing to do w/TCM.

  3. I think gwtwbooklover hit it right on the head. What we look back at today as clean movies, may have been quite racy in their day. Remember the hubbub with GWTW for "Frankly, my dear I don't give a ....(dont' want to offend). We today look at that as nothing, but back then it took fines, and approval to get that in the movie. So, should that not be shown on TV, or only after a certain hour?

     

    Most importantly people need to realize that if you start to ban something you don't like, eventually if will effect something you do like, and don't want to be banned.

     

    Certainly voice your opinion about it, but we need to be our own censors, and if you don't like something for whatever reason, don't watch or buy it.

  4. I'm not a George Lucas fan, so I obviously think there are others more worthy. But, I don't think many of those they have honored in the past 10-15 years are really that worthy.

     

    I don't know if it is true or not, but I have heard that they now require you to still be working to be eligible to recieve in addition to attending.

     

    The James Cagney tribute was the first I saw, and have it on tape. I still watch it and am just as thrilled as I was 30years ago.

     

    I can't imagine saying that for some of those honored lately.

    I'm a Katharine Hepburn fan, but she brought out the only Oscar winning performances! I didn't realize she wrote, directed, acted all other parts in these films. She's much more talented than I ever thought.

  6. TCM does a varity of different theme days to try to please everyone's different tastes. So, if you don't like, don't watch. But, don't try to ruin it for those who like musiclas.

  7. No particular order:

     

    Three Came Home

    Now, Voyager

    The Long Grey Line

    Gone With The Wind

    Orphans of the Storm

    Smilin' Through w/Norma Shearer

    Pride of the Yankees

    The Wizard of Oz

    Yankee Doodle Dandy

    Bringing Up Baby

  8. Why do people always feel the need to boost one star, while trying to put down another. Both Marion Davies and Jean Harlow were talented ladies. To say Jean Harlow never evolved, makes it seem like you no nothing about her career, as her talent came a long way in a short time. The biggest problem with Marion Davies career was Hearst himself. If he had let her shine in what she did best, and not pour all that money into her career, she may be better known today.

     

    Sorry, for the rant, but I don't understand why people can't say they like someone without knocking someone else.

     

    About Citizen Kane, it was years before I saw it, as I always liked Marion Davies and heard it basically treated her character horribly. I don't get what all the fuss was about. It was an OK movie, but a great one, not for me.
