Glad you're back.
I watched "A Man Alone" as well. Did you notice Milland directed it too? He went nearly a half hour before he said anything. It's an ok picture. I wished they gave a reason for Alan Hale Jr giving such a bad description of his shooter. I'm really glad Bond had more to do than fall out of the bed.
Those western crowds are always ready to lynch someone.
I think most would enjoy it.

fxreyman:
We are fine. My apologies as well if I overreacted.

>Movieman..... Once again you talk about me and this "conspiracy" thing which I never mentioned or implied.... talk about getting your facts straight!
I don't know where that came from.
I don't believe I said you said anything about a conspiracy. Nor did I for that matter. The only thing I said to you or about you was I thought the post was mistakenly directed to you.
Everything under the line of asterisks was meant generally. That's why they were separated. I'm sorry. I won't make that mistake again.

I hardly think what I wrote was ill tempered. It is simply a possibility based on the drednm reaction. I wasn't condemning anyone as I was throwing out an idea. I think it's a problem when people aren't always careful to make sure they are talking to who they intend to talk to. It comes with practice but can be confusing. No condemnation. It was a suggestion as to why it wound up with his name on it.
But because that person didn't take a minute to make sure they were directing their comment to the correct person there is all this.
It seems odd that some new folks get on and we have trouble right off the bat. Maybe it's me. Maybe since I did a little research and found out about people and what they were like and how to post a message to the right person so that they would understand it and learn the personality of the board I didn't think it would be a problem for others to do.
If someone wants to argue with someone, fine. Get your facts straight and be an adult about it.

I'm not saying she wasn't qualified. She would have to be to do her job. I had a problem that TCM paid her to come and talk about a movie that week and she couldn't be bothered to watch a film she was supposed to comment on. It wasn't about every classic but that particluar one. That's just sloppy.
-
I think the problem with Haskell was that she was so broad in her comment. She didn't say "some" or " most" the implication was "all." I don't really disagree that most women don't like those kind of comedians but knowing some who love Laurel and Hardy, the Marx Bros and Buster Keaton that statement was just a bit too inclusive.
Admitting to not having seen "Gunga Din" the night it aired may have been her biggest sin. For a commentator to go in that unprepared is a disservice to the viewers.

I wonder if he meant to reply to you?
This has been a problem with newer folks who may not understand the mechanics of the board. I've come across several in the past few days where somone responded to the wrong post-er. They either don't clearly point out who they are talking to or just hit the reply button to the most recent post and you get confusion.

Also a reason we may have had so many new threads is a failure to do any searching. This is not knocking anyone looking for information but a short search can find threads where one may be able to find an answer without multiple threads on the same topic. I guess some people might have done that just to make sure they weren't covering old ground again.

Theresa:
You are very welcome.
Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. There are ways to do it and not be rude. I'm sure you will be fine.

>Beautifully said. **
Thank you for the kind words. You added wonderfully to my statement. I look forward to reading your commentary on "High Noon."
Anybody "seen" MissGoddess?
** except where I said "would would" instead of "why would." (darn.)

MissGreer:
Schools are the way they are because the administration wants them that way. Teachers are mostly of a liberal persuasion. They are all for free speech until someone who thinks like you voices an opinion. Then they start putting restrictions on things. They really feel that if you disagree you can't possibly be right.
What you said about marriage is quite right. As someone who has been married for almost 24 years it is about compromise and sacrifice. A marriage based on trading services is a marriage (if you can call it that) that cannot last. It is something to be worked on and not taken for granted. I love my wife and have enjoyed being married. If it was just about sex would would anyone bother.
You stick up for yourself. They are the ones who could use a lesson in tolerance.

MissG:
"Firecreek" is on DVD. It is a two-fer with "The Cheyenne Social Club."
-
The WWII film sounds like "The Purple Heart" with Dana Andrews. The Spencer Tracy movie is "Northwest Passage." TCM recently showed "The Gallant Hours" but I doubt it is on DVD.
-
Other posts have addressed this but to answer you it has been that the co-host lasts one season. The new co-host was on in November when they had guest programmers all month. They must have liked her work.

Otterhere:
If I remember right TCM came on in 1994.

Here is part of a post from Kyle that has a link to the "About TCM" page.
Somewhere in these Forums is a post with TCM's original "Mission Statement" which read that "TCM shows classic films from the 1920s through the 1980s" (paraphrase). The mission statement has now been altered to read "...through the 1990s". See here -

Also here is the link to a thread where Kyle (tirelessly finding info) listed some newer movies that showed on TCM back in 1998. (You may have to read through it to find ht right post.)

I've always thought "Cheyenne Social Club" was fun. The one scene where they are walking down the street and talk about Stewart being a Republican and Fonda a Democrat is really fun as it mirrors their life and friendship. Early on they decided if they didn't talk about politics they would be fine. They were.
Fonda at about the same time frame gave Stewart a painting of Stewart's favorite horse "Pie." Stewart loved it.
"Shenandoah" is a good film. I think Doug McClure is a weak spot. (Good scenes with Stewart educating him on marriage.) It gives Jimmy a bit of a meaty role in the middle of the fluffu 1960s roles.
I've wondered if "Once Upon A TIme In The West" grew out of "Firecreek." Fonda is the heavy, though not nearly so much as "OUTINW." They may have been filmed too close together.

Fedya:
You are correct on all your points.
Norma Desmond:
From out of nowhere you slip in with a very good schedule. A lot of very good themes and lineups to go with them. (Are you sure you haven't done this before?
) Well done. -
If you want your Jimmy rare and a little different check out "Fool's Parade" scheduled to run April 1.

TCM is part of my expanded digital basic plan. It's not a pay-for channel like HBO. I have TCM On Demand as well. I don't have newar as many films as Kyle but I'll get 6 - 10 movies and a few shorts. They do show trailers of what is coming in the next week or so.
-
Another great schedule. Some fine choices and very creative themes like "When Picnics Go Bad." I love a good pun so the "Tourneur Classic Movies" is a gem. Had a fine laugh over Britney Spears as guest programmer.
The only question is does she come to Atlanta or does Robert go to an LA hospital?
-
One of my favorites outside the standards is "Three Came Home." It allows her to get dirty and messy and play a different kind of part. She is held in a Japanese POW camp where she builds a relationship with Sessue Hayakawa because he is familiar with the book she has written.
She's fun in "Without Reservations" where she also plays an author and with John Wayne.

I saw "If I had A Million" a long time ago. I remember I wanted to see it because of all the names in it. It was ok and worth a look for that reason.
I think "International House" was a similar film. That may have been on more recently.
-
>I vaguely remember it being tied up in legal hell or something similar for a number of years
I don't know which hell it was in but you are right. It was tied up with "Rear Window" and "Vertigo."
I saw "Rear Window" at the theater in the late 80's and it was fun to see it on t he big screen.

Thanks. I recorded in FR as it was more than two hours. I usually record in SP if it is short enough.
I have to reset the clock about every week. Nothing seems to "reset" it but it is not terribly inconvenient. I have looked at the manual but I'll recheck the pages you mention. Thanks so much for your help. You are such a big help to all here. I appreciate your taking the time.
) Well done.

Is everything lined up on the left properly? I know if there were indentations it can cause some of the text to be dropped but I'm lost on how "sugarpuss'" schedule would affect mine.
I'm not smart enough to know how you post a link to a specific posting. Mine tend to just link to the page.
