*Well guts or lack of brains: same difference – ha!* - coopsgirl Wow. Seems the "Ghost in the Machine" is now "pixilated" too! Message was edited by: hlywdkjk

Pickup on South Street / Scarlet Street (two of them) / The 39 Steps / Strangers on a Train / The Wrong Man / Kiss the Blood Off My Hands / The Blue Gardenia / The Big Heat or Human Desire / Journey Into Fear / Hell's Half Acre / The Night of the Hunter / Diabolique / Raw Deal / Fallen Angel / The Third Man / Vertigo Wow. You certainly do know "Your Favorites". You probably shouldn't know the others just from the images posted - but I would hope you would know WHO the "blonde girl" in '02' is Kyle In Hollywood

*"Scarlet Street" AND "Pickup on South Street"?! Those are my top two films noir. Somebody is very evil."* Somebody knew exactly how to inflict the most pain. Do you know just which titles are represented below? It's scary. Kyle In Hollywood

*"I'm very impressed that you know all of my favorites."* Whaddya mean? All I know is that you'd give your left (or is it right?) pinky finger for a chance to see *Moonfleet*. *"You know, this actually is torture to me now."* _Somebody_ knows you too well. I'd be afraid. Kyle In Hollywood

*"You've got it all wrong, Kyle. Why in the world why I look to damage my favorites?"* - FrankGrimes Just "tryin' that one on for size"? Kyle In Hollywood

I think this is the last of the wreckage.

This is just too much.

It never ends!

I...I...I... I am speechless.

Oh, the *HORROR*!

My, my, my... The devious demon was certainly busy while I was away at work today. Here's more of their handiwork. kjk

It seems "the ghost" has taken up home in my "machine". Somehow he / she / it decided to mutilate some of my film poster files and cropped some of the images. Strangely, they all seem to be "someone's" favorites. Boy, that is one vengeful "ghost". Here's the ones I've found so far... Kyle (still searching for more damage) In Hollywood

What I don't quite get is how the "trashy dames" get all the attention while no one says a word about "the ape". kjk

Hi Minya - Glad you like the poster. Is your *Gun Crazy* poster the red one-sheet? I have an image of that one too. The poster of *...Nora Moran* went up in this thread about the second or third week. And I bet there will be some nice surprises that you'll enjoy in the weeks ahead. Kyle In Hollywood

*"That's one of the best posters you have posted to date, Kyle. You've got an interesting sense of timing, too."* All I was thinking was that maybe this was one of those posters for a "Swamp Noir". But you can read it whatever you want. Kyle (with some "news" to post in a different thread) In Hollywood

Tuesday April 8^th^

*"Are you going to read over him Kyle?"* You mean, am I a "read him and weep" kinda guy. Nah. I'd make William Holden in *,,,River Kwai* look positively eloquent. And what can one say about a person's journey into the heart of darkness from which they couldn't escape? I am still curious as to who pulled the trigger on FG. And if he really is "pushing daisies"or if he just got "clipped". If he's still around, I hope he doesn't try to finger me. I'm just the bag boy. Kyle In Hollywood

The Charlton Heston Tribute has been announced. It will occur this Friday afternoon and evening. http://www.tcm.com/movienews/index/?cid=197976 Excerpted from the above link - ---------- In Tribute to actor Charlton Heston, who died Saturday, April 5th at age 84, TCM is changing its evening programming on Friday, April 11th to honor the actor with a six-film salute. _Friday, April 11th:_ (all times EDT) 2:30 PM *Private Screenings: Charlton Heston* 3:30 PM *The Buccaneer (’58)* 5:30 PM *The Hawaiians* 8:00 PM *Private Screenings: Charlton Heston* 9:00 PM *Ben-Hur* 1:00 AM *Khartoum* 3:30 AM *Major Dundee* ------------ This schedule change takes the place of a evening saluting Jose Ferrer and the films *Cyrano de Bergerac* *Moulin Rouge* and *Enter Laughing* along with the preemption of that evening's TCM Underground selections - *Attack Of The Crab Monsters* *The Thing From Another World* and a showing of the documentary *Watch The Skies!* Kyle In Hollywood

So, which one of ya is standing over FrankGrimes body? I'd like to remove it. It's drawing flies - and a crowd. Traffic here is bad enough. Kyle In Hollywood

Monday April 7^th^

*"Did you see or dvr Kim? I got some strange B&W african movie that started way before 7:59 am when I programmed it. WTH was this?"* - TriciaNY By chance, is your VCR clock off by an hour today? Many electronic devices with clocks that were/are capable of automatically updating for Daylight Savings Time moved ahead an hour overnight last night because, until this year, today was the first day to move the clocks forward. This would explain why everything is "off" by an hour for you. Kyle In Hollywood

*"Please, no more schedule changes!"* Well, PrinceSaliano, life has a way of intruding on the plans of TCM. Such tributes have been a tradition on TCM since the earliest days of the channel. They don't treat these decisions lightly and are aware that changes to the schedule will disappoint some (many) people. But films that are pre-empted due to such unexpected changes are rescheduled for a later date - if possible. Kyle In Hollywood

Hi Fedya - Yes. I, too, remember the precedent setting pre-emption of the final night of Robert Montgomery's "Star Of The Month" event to honor the passing of Shelly Winters - though I wasn't left with egg on my face over the incident as you were. I could see TCM taking the daytime path in this instance. I think TCM has more than enough films in its "library" right now to easily fill those fourteen hours. A double feature of *Ben-Hur* and *The Greatest Show On Earth* could cover nearly half of those hours with just those two films. TCM is not lacking for material to use in its Heston tribute. But as a matter of recognition, if you were TCM could you remember Heston during the daytime hours so soon after Richard Widmark was offered a tribute in primetime? And not feel "guilty" about it? I suppose they could and explain it as needing the extra time the daytime hours offer to do the tribute right. But I am not so sure that it wouldn't appear that Heston wasn't being honored in the manner he deserved. As a true legendary figure in Hollywood, I think he has earned an evening tribute. Heck. Now that I think of it, a full 24-hour tribute wouldn't be out of place at all either. It certainly would make it special. And because so many of Heston's best films are two-plus hours, stretching the tribute over a full day could still contain only about eight or nine films. Kyle In Hollywood

*"If there isn't, Kyle, there ought to be."* - nightwalker I was scanning the schedule late last night to see what evening might be the best choice for pre-empting the previously scheduled films in order to add an evening of Charlton Heston films - including, I assume, a showing of *Ben-Hur* - and be the least "disruptive". And because that film is so long, certain evenings wouldn't be logical chices or appropriate. A Sunday night won't work because it would bump "Silent Sunday Nights and "TCM Imports". And a Friday evening has "TCM Underground" on the schedule which would allow only one other film (or maybe two) to be shown along with *Ben-Hur*. Most of the scheduled evenings remaining in the month have some pretty special programming planned. The "Star Of The Month" and "TCM Spotlight - Ridin' The Rails" aren't likely to be pre-empted. There is the "Guest Programmer" evening with Alex Trebek yet to come. There is a night of light comedies that includes the "premiere" of *Easy Living* which should remain on the schedule. There is also the premiere showing of "Idols: Gene Wilder" on Tuesday April 15^th^ that won't be changed. This Tuesday already has Charlton Heston's *Major Dundee* on the schedule - but I think that day is too soon to change and to effectively promote as a Tribute event. But April 29^th^ has Heston's *Khartoum* already on the schedule. I could see that evening being turned into a Charlton Heston tribute evening quite easily. (Though it would mean pre-empting two premieres I was anticipating seeing - *Zulu* and *Glory*.) Of course, TCM could go the daytime route and pre-empt an entire 14 hour daytime line-up to remember Charlton Heston. They have done that in the past. But I don't know if that would be the most honorific tribute to this Oscar winner. Some films I would like to see included - *Ben-Hur* *Touch Of Evil* *Soylent Green* *The Agony And The Ecstacy* Just my musings on the subject. I am sure we'll learn what TCM has planned in the next day or so. Kyle In Hollywood
