    *"Yes Kyle, both are TCM premieres."* - Scottman

     

    Thanks, Scottman. I am pretty good at remembering things about TCM that occurred since 2000 but not prior to that date. 'gagman66' seems to know when every silent has played on the channel since its inception. He's amazing.

     

    I have seen *Go West* (Netflix) and the "cattle drive" through downtown L.A. is something not to miss.

    I think there are a few reasons for filming the women while sitting down.

     

    One - By filming them sitting down in one of the red chairs, it means the crew has to light and dress only one area of the set. That would be a time saver in this situation.

    Two - Filming multiple intros can develop into a long period of time to be on one's feet (if you're not used to it.) I would guess that the 18 to 20 intros recorded for the weeks the guests appear would take about five hours for each guest. But that is being generous.

    Three - When dressed for TV, men are wearing comfortable shoes for standing. Women when they are well dressed for TV are likely to be wearing high heeled shoes. That has to be an incentive for letting the women sit down.

    Four - It was probably a way to put the guests more at ease so they could focus solely on reading the introduction and not be concerned with how they were moving or how they were standing, etc.

     

    Remember, professionals that they may be, this was all new for them so whatever was necessary to make them as relaxed as possible was going to be done.

    *"I want to say a special thanks for all the Tarzan movie posters you've been running since April. Great stuff! Thanks."* - bOb39

     

    You're welcome. And that goes for all the others that check them out too. According to my 'flickr' account, the Tarzan images are among the most popular of my recent postings.

    *"The Duke hits the grooves hard with RED RIVER, the 1948 classic western, with Monty Clift!"* - markbeckuaf

     

    And Monty hits the Duke hard too.

     

    Gosh, how are you gonna groove to all this and get anything else done? Are you just veggin' in front of the air conditioner and the TV all week? (A great plan if you can get away with it.)

    Which day in August are you most looking forward to on TCM?

    Fedya -

     

    I know it isn't you, my friend. Flash and your computer just don't get along. I don't think we ever resolved issues you had with the "Moguls and Movie Stars" microsite. I posted the link because I thought it was a witty little bit of "fun" for everyone before the full site goes "live" on August 1st.

     

    If "Flash Animation" isn't your thing, there usually are standard pages in the website to accompany "Summer Under The Stars". They will likely be online beginning August 1st also.

     

    If you want the printable, monthly schedule for August in a non-pdf format, you can go here -

    You should be able to change the font size, etc. using the schedule on this page.

    *"Fairchild 21's! And no, I couldn't identify them, had to look it up. The one on the left is still flying."* - smileys

     

    I had a hunch you would take a fancy to this particular display.

     

    *"That has to be the largest billboard I've ever seen. Incredible."*

     

    It really is incredible. For all that digital wizardry one can see in Times Square today, it doesn't come close to the awe and amazement that a display like this can (still) inspire.

    *"It's weird - there is something special in knowing that others are watching at the same time as I am watching."* - clore

     

    I have a close friend that also enjoys that feeling of "shared experience" even when he is sitting alone in his apartment. And there are others here that have expressed that idea too.

     

    If you are interested, TCM in November 2003 was very good for horror film fans. Boris Karloff was Star Of The Month with a great line-up of films. On the first night *The Mummy*, *The Walking Dead*, *Frankenstein* and *The Bride Of Frankenstein* were shown one after another. The final Star Of The Month night included *The Raven*, *The Black Cat* and *The Body Snatcher*. Other Karloff films shown were *The Mask Of Fu Manchu*, *The Unholy Night*, *The Mad Genius* and *Bedlam*.

     

    Sunday evenings were also full of great classic horror incorporating Silent Sunday Nights into the line-ups. There were Hammer films early most Sunday evenings. But alongside *The Phantom Of The Opera* (1925) TCM presented *Freaks*, *Mad Love* and *Mystery Of The Wax Museum*. *Nosferatu* (1922) was bookended with *Mark Of The Vampire* and *Dracula* (1931) on the second Sunday. TCM also pulled out a silent titled *The Eyes Of The Mummy* (1918) directed by Ernst Lubitsch on the final Sunday.

     

    Other "fun" titles seen during the month included *Village Of The Damned*, *Children Of The Damned*, *House Of Dark Shadows* and *The Reptile*, *Vampyr* was part of TCM Imports and there was even a showing of *The Creature From The Black Lagoon*.

     

    All in all, I think 2003 is the October against which all other TCM Octobers needs to be measured. It was a horror fans delight.
