*"Off to a great start, Kyle, spiffy poster!"* - Scottman Thanks, my friend. I will make a confession that many of the poster images destined for this thread will be re-posts of images I've placed in the long-running Poster Gallery over the years. But I will try and freshen it up whenever possible. Kyle In Hollywood

*"From what I saw on the site the passes are all sold out but the day ones. Is this correct and I've waited too long?"* - wouldbestar That is the rumor I've heard. The site won't sell you a pass online. But there is also phone number listed for the box office. Go ahead and call it direct and see what they say over the phone. Give it a try. What can it hurt?

*"Hey, I'M SPARTACUS!"* - SueSue Well, that should get you into the after-party this year. Kyle In Hollywood

*"If the object is to make money selling DVDs of movies (and would anybody deny that this is the object of TCM?), then why should it even bother to employ this meaningless(?) terminology to hawk its wares?"* - musikone You really think TCM exists to market and sell copies of DVDs that it does not own and on which other entities make the vast majority of the profit? Seems like a very expensive method (television network/website/etc.) of marketing. And on top of that, TCM is "giving away" the product every time they show a film. TCM as a 24-hour informercial. Now THAT'S a new one. Kyle In Hollywood

Hi Dominique - I don't know what "dressed up" (or mildly dressed up) means to a 16 year old these days. And that isn't your fault. I wouldn't think of the evening as a "red carpet gala" but I think if you treat the evening like a swell party and dress accordingly, you'll be fine and have just the right amount of fun. I will also say that I expect most everyone else will be at the screening in comfortable casual clothes. *"Also, how quickly does the theater fill up if I arrive 2hrs early would I be able to get a good seat?"* I don't know. It is NYC so it is hard to say how early (or late) people will arrive. You might try to find a phone number for the theater at the SVA and find out what time the doors will open that evening and then plan accordingly. But I would bet two hours before would be more than enough time for a good seat. Maybe not GREAT,but a good one. (Is your Dad up to standing in line two hours?) Have a great time this Saturday. And please check back in here and let us know how it went, OK? Kyle In Hollywood

*"I don't know if TCM has a poll for movie genres, but I want (NEED) to go on record as hating the movie line up today (3/28/11). I was born in the 60s so maybe I am just not "getting this" trend of TCM to broadcast movies from the 1960s and 70s that I can see in a thousand different venues..."* - Debwill2 "Tomorrow is another day." And that would be today. I hope Warner Baxter and Jean Harlow are more to your liking. Kyle In Hollywood

*"Mixed messages for sure, but it definitely makes me want to see it."* - DougieB You need to know that the "Not Suitable..." notice was a required addition to posters in Australia for all films that were not considered "child-friendly". In the Thirties, Forties and Fifties, that covered a lot of motion pictures. The use of that notice is one way I can tell country of origin (Australia) for many English-language posters. If it wasn't on the poster for *In Which We Serve*, I might think the poster was for a UK release of the film. Kyle In Hollywood

*"She was the same age as Peter O"Toole. Wish TCM would get him on, somehow, somewhere..."* - clearskies Good News for you about Peter O'Toole! TCM Press Release - Release Date: 3/17/2011 *Peter O?Toole to Join Hollywood Royalty at 2011 TCM Classic Film Festival* Irish-Born Actor?s Hand and Footprints to be Enshrined in Concrete at Famed Grauman?s Chinese Theater Celebration to Include Extensive Conversation with Robert Osborne, Plus Special Screening of O?Toole?s Oscar?-Nominated Performance in Becket (1964) Legendary actor Peter O?Toole will be a special guest at the 2011 TCM Classic Film Festival as attendees from around the globe join TCM in honoring the Irish-born actor?s extraordinary career. Several special events are planned for the celebration, including an in-depth conversation between O?Toole and TCM host Robert Osborne and a special screening of O?Toole?s Oscar?-nominated performance in Becket (1964). The TCM Classic Film Festival will take place April 28 - May 1 in Hollywood. As part of the festival activities, O?Toole will place his hand and footprints in cement in front of the world-famous Grauman?s Chinese Theatre on Saturday, April 30. ?Caught at last. Forensics will have my dabs forever,? O?Toole said about the honor. On Friday, April 29, Osborne will sit down with O?Toole for an extensive conversation about his life and career for a special live taping that will air later on TCM. The conversation will be recorded in front of a live audience of festival attendees at The Music Box, the newest venue to be added to the TCM Classic Film Festival. Also on Friday, the celebration will include a screening of Becket (1964), which earned O?Toole the second of eight Best Actor Oscar? nominations. O?Toole will introduce the film, in which he plays England?s King Henry II, whose friendship with Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket turned into a power struggle that ended with Becket?s murder. Richard Burton, who plays the title role, joined his co-star and good friend on the list of 1964?s Best Actor Oscar nominees. O?Toole took on the visage of Henry II again four years later in The Lion in Winter (1968), which marked his third Oscar nomination. ----------------------------- Edited by: hlywdkjk on Mar 23, 2011 8:09 PM
