    What do you want to see?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    After last year, I learned making a list at this point is like filling in an NCAA bracket. It is going into the "circular filing cabinet" every time the latest information gets announced.

     

    But the few "must-sees" I would use as "tent poles" which I would plan around -

     

    *The Cameraman* with the Vince Giordano Orchestra

    *Reds* with Warren Beatty & Alec Baldwin discussion

    *West Side Story* 50th Anniversary Screening

    Peter O'Toole's interview with Robert Osborne at The Music Box

     

    In a perfect world, each of those events are on separate days so I know they won't conflict with one another. And there are many screenings I can fill-in around those starting points.

     

    We'll see. Soon.

    *CANDIDS* 2

    *"I am unable to post any photos in General Discussions so I am posting them here. Just need to post something or will go crazy!"* - gagman66

     

    I think you really should create a personal thread as your own creative outlet and for which your are the sole "archivist". That is what "Candids" is for Mongo, "1939 - As It Happens" is for filmlover and the "Censored Poster Gallery" is for me.

     

    I wouldn't add to Mongo's Gallery - but I've emailed him photos for him to add at his discretion. I felt that was the most courteous way to go about it. I understand the work and effort that goes into gathering all there rare images that he finds. He obviously has a vision that guides him in his postings.

     

    And while a single addition of a photo by another member (often in response to an image posted by Mongo) may not be intrusive, multiple postings such as these tonight is a disruption.

     

    You know how to start a thread so why not begin one dedicated to displaying your creativity? "Your Favorites" is a perfect place for it.

    Hey New Yawkers!

     

    If you forget to post reminders to yourself around the house this week, I'm here to tell you that the passes to the screening of *The Manchurian Candidate* on April 2nd are available for download - _NOW_.

     

    http://www.tcm.com/2011/roadtohollywood/newyork/onsale.html

     

    Robert Osborne and Angela Lansbury want to see you there.

     

    (And "Hey Sandy! I'm still waiting to hear about Cleveland.)

    *"I haven't been able to follow filmlover's thread since the board changes. It seems longer threads like his and Kyle's over there, I try to go to the most recent page, and it just comes up with a blank page. I've tried several days now, will keep on trying, I know they're working on those things."* - markbeckuaf

     

    Mark,

    You can't "see" the most _recent_ page?

     

    Have you set the pages to display in Ascending or Descending order?

    Ascending = Original (Very first) post of thread on Page 1.

    Descending = Most Recent (today's image) post to thread on Page 1.

     

    If one click's solely on the title of the thread,

    http://forums.tcm.com/thread.jspa?threadID=116507&tstart=0

     

    what did you see before the upgrade (today's added image?) and what do you see today (absolutely nothing)?

     

    Let me know so we can work out a solution.

     

    It all seems rather odd.

    *"From the sounds of the press release, it sounds like the interview with Peter O'Toole will take place at the Music Box."* - lzcutter

     

    I think so too. I would expect the screening of *Becket* to take place in one of the film theaters.

     

    I was going to post photos of the interior but the Classic Film Festival site has them posted already. Click on "Venues" and choose "The Music Box." It is quite impressive looking.

    http://www.tcm.com/festival/index.html#/venues/musicbox

     

    But I noticed that the listed capacity of The Music Box for tapings is only 450 people. Seems small and likely to fill to capacity early.

    Kinokima -

     

    I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make that transcription of the intro. I REALLY appreciate it.

     

    What an insightful comment to make about Dassin being blacklisted in Hollywood and how that "silencing" is manifested in the films' story or exposition.

     

    Shannon said he is responsible for "...making sure everything has the look and feel of TCM." After hearing him in the red chair last night, I am not surprised that "Professor Clute" would oversee that. Everything TCM is notoriously clean and uncluttered - just like his introduction. There was nothing messy or unruffled about it. You can bet Shannon NEVER colored outside the lines when he was younger.

     

    And I am also grateful for your transcription because it answered one of my nagging questions of late - "Who editted last year's Commemorative Program for the Classic Film Festival?" It is a beautiful and very informative companion to the Film Festival.

    Thanks Shannon.

     

    And Thank You So Much, 'kinokima'. You're wonderful.

    *"Rififi - Wowza!! What a movie! Kyle, if I had taped it, I would send the intro to you."* - cinemafan

     

    Thank you! What a kind thought that is. And it is the thought that counts. I appreciate it.

     

    *"Shannon Clute was such a, well, literate guy. He expressed his feelings about this movie in an exceptional way. I'd like to see more of him."*

     

    "Professor Clute." He was very "in command" in his outro. I wonder if a "passionate disagreement" could be found inside him? You know, one of those "You don't like WHAT???" kind of "disagreements." I'm not too sure.

     

    And I have to say, he picks great cover photos for the "Now Playing" guide.

     

    I cheered when he said he liked the Depardieu *Cyrano de Bergerac*. I do too. Rhyming subtitles!

    And you can see more of Shannon in many of the monthly podcasts of Staff Recommendations found on the website.

     

    *"I was on the edge of my seat..."*

     

    Cool. That's how it should be.

    *"Hey, kyle, at least you got to see it. Apparently Rififi is yet another "No Canadian Rights" film. And silly me, I was really looking forward to this."* - misswonderly

     

    Wow. That's a shame. And I mean it.

     

    See if the library can get a copy for you. I know you'd like it.

    *"Last night this gal picked a film called "The Projectionist". It was not only a hard movie to follow it was also extremely dumb."* - BuccaneerMoe

     

    Well, last night's co-hosts were the curators of the film archives at the Museum Of Modern Art in NYC presenting films from the museum's archives. So, given the "Modern Art" provenance, many of the titles last night were "esoteric".

     

    But it is too bad you couldn't get past the subtitles for *RIfifi*. It really is a great film. And there is that loooong section with no dialogue so you wouldn't have had to read anything.

     

    Hopefully TCM has the ability to show the film (at least) once more.

    Attention all you New Yorkers! Start writing reminders to yourself!

     

    The passes to "The Road To Hollywood" screening of *The Manchurian Candidate* with Robert Osborne and Angela Lansbury in attendance happening on Saturday, April 2nd will be available either tomorrow (the 18th) or on Saturday, the 19th.

     

    There have been conflicting dates stating when the passes will be made available for download. The Original Press Release said the 18th. But the website says the 19th. Just to be safe, I'd start looking tomorrow (Friday) to see if the download is possible. If it isn't, then the passes will be released on Saturday.

     

    http://www.tcm.com/2011/roadtohollywood/index.html

     

    I'd hate for anyone to miss out as it sounds like it will be a great evening. I hate that I am missing out.

    (And 'sandykaypax' - How was your evening with Robert and Eva Marie yesterday? Details! And 'Calamity' too!)

    MyManMark -

     

    I got in a little late tonight so I missed the Staffer who chose *Female*. But I am glad to know she did all the pre-code lovers proud.

     

    But...

    Damn! and Bummer! The introduction of *Rififi* with Staffer Shannon Clute started early. I missed all but the last minute, or so. I can see there was a need to do that as the film is 122m and it is in a 120m timeslot. But I was sooo looking forward to hearing Shannon - who is one of the regular "podcasters" most months - have a conversation with Robert Osborne. Hopefully the outro will be worthwhile.

    Screening "CITIZEN KANE" at its original premiere location--the El Capitan?

    in General Discussion

    *"This afternoon I spoke to Ed Collins, the managing director of the El Capitan (formerly Dick Cook's right arm at Disney) and he said he and Disney would MOVE MOUNTAINS to celebrate CITIZEN KANE's 70th Anniversary at the El Capitan and despite the fact they will be in their second weekend of a new Disney first run nature film, that to DIGITALLY screen "CITIZEN KANE" that they CAN definitely make it happen if someone in charge of the festival at TCM can get in touch with them ASAP."* - JONO

     

    Wow! That is quite a lot effort, Jono. How wonderful if it could come off.

     

    Last night, I went to the El Capitan website to see what film was playing during the Film Festival and learned, as you hinted, that it is a new DisneyNature film titled *African Cats*. I don't know if it is an "exclusive" engagement.

     

    Rest assured, the Festival Staff will read your post here and pass it along to the persons in charge. And you also left a message with right person at TCM.

     

    I look forward to hearing all this turns out.

    Peter O'Toole

    *"Robert Osbourne will also be interviewing O'Toole. I pray that interview makes it to the channel. I know Peter O'Toole is one of the top actors I wanted to see for a private screening."* - kinokima

     

    The interview will be filmed for the channel. And it sounds like a longer interview is planned with O'Toole than the one filmed with Luise Rainer.

     

    And he is getting to add his handprints/footprints in the cement of the Chinese Theater forecourt too!
