UNFORTNATELY I STILL LIVE IN TAMNOA BAY, FL LOVED HOLLYWOIOID THOUGH & WENT THERE (3) DIFFERENT TIMES@! Not the politics, but the history of TINSEL-TOWN, that is what is still-standing for now? Got to stay a;l; three times close to old entrance of RKO RADIPO, now PARAMOUNT' S SIDE DOOR & COULD SEE PARAMOUNT TOWER FROM MY MOTEL Now bars are all over Gower & RKO Radio's old side of that street. MGM is thee single worst scandal/travesty, once over 200 acres, now reduced to barely 40 in Culver City. Mr,. Kirk Kirkorian in ';69 was the sole blame for that DREAM FACTORY! Would no

THAT ISEXACTKY WAT IMEAN BUDDY! That means it will now be inlegible for nominations This now happens a lot & it's unfair JOHN C. REILLY as Ollie looks tremendous! & was also said to be strong in the modern era Westen "Sist res Brothers"
-
Despite what you think of it, it will still taje home a couple statuettes for BEST DURECTOR (Curan's 2nd) Cinemastography_(A LOCK!), maybe Forteign-Film,& even Film Editing? It';s bizarre this year, will the now over 7,902 voting members only nominate it for F.film or BP GOLD? Or both?

WOW BOY'O-(IRISH) YOIU SCOOPED ME ON THIS ABSOILUTE OSCAR CINTEBNDER & LIKELY WINNER GOOD GOING! Firstly, where do you reside & how did you get to see it? I;m still mighty **** that this asinine area never got STAN & OLIIE

Despite it's detractors I still find *Fosse's 1979 ALL THT JAZZ to be brilliantly made filmmaking!

Knowing him he'll probably do even more! His ma lived to be 96! -
WOW SPORTS FANS! NO TAKERS HERE, WHY NOT??? Only wanted you fans to give own nominee forecasting, what happened? My theory is, majority of my fellow TCM-ITES don't go to many new releases & still read everything movie released, so whats the problem (EXAMPLE: To date the only seen about 1/2 out of the past 8 BP contenders, but still adore/love to predict anyway & again, by no means my personal favs of said year! SCORING 21 for 24 on winners last year) which are much easier then forecasting the nods of curse

Had a shot to see THE MULE yet pal? but this time out very unlikely to snag him more nods & *oscars (P.S. & I am totally disgusted in my long awaited-0(3-4 months) STAN & OLLIE of course & typicaly for down here in FL to not get a wide release GO FIGURE??? One hold out the guy that is everywhere thesdays OHN C. REILLY just may & hopefuilly snag his 2nd shot as Oliver Hardy-(l892-l957)? -
ANYINE RECALL GOSSIP QUEEN RONA BARRETT-(l937)? Backwhen I was first falling in oove with CINEMA & first it';s history of course, at about age 14. ROINA'S GOSSIP RAG WAS ABOUT THE ONE & OINLY & SHE REALLY POULLED A>>>> IN PREDUCTING IN IT THAT *WARREN'S WONDERFUL 1978 "HEAVEN CAN WAIT" WOULD ABSOLUTELY SWEEPT 5 to 6 ACADEMY AWARDS FOR 1978 I STILL PERSONALLY ADORE *WARREN'S VERSION A BIT OVER "HERE COMES MR. JORDAN: MYSELF, BUT THIS was asinine by HER THAT YEAR, OBVIOUSLY THE MAGNIFUICENT VIETNAM WAR-EPOIC *"THE DEER HUNTER" swept 50 & furthermore "COMING HOME":

A good *Eastwood drama fans must see is 1990's "White Hunter, Black Heart" (l990) ($1m.) 4th ROGER EBERT (l942-2013) & GENE SISKEL-

Still alive? GENE SHALIT IS NOW AGE 92! BUT, I grew up with EBERT && SISKEL first finding them in summer of 19790 when I was 14, on PBS reviewing "B. Away" (***1/2) & stunningly both went early???

Only barely just browsed this one buddy I always after 38yrs-(when he used to correspond with me reg. mail from tv's ET around 1981-(he started on that show just after NATALIE WOOD went way & disliked his sciring of 0 to 10 at first, then he used the 1920's, 30's original-(DAUILY Ews) 0 to 4 star system, like the rest. DON'T KNOW THIS TOPIC, WILL GIVE IT THE OINCE IVER, BUT WHAT DID LEONARD DO??? (P.S. I almost petitioned on here a wee bit for them to add him vs that little pc weasel that worked fpor EW ,masg Dave Karger-(despised that guy!) I'd always go

(P.S. who do you TCM-ITES personally think should hoist the 91st Annuak *(AMNPAS) Awards?

Of all the "SCROOGE'S" LIONEL BARRYMORE WAS THEE MT. SUMIT!
shannon replied to shannon's topic in General Discussions
RAY, you& I are sadly the chosen few in L. BARRYMORE doing this annually-(';38 was his grade finale, sadly) A. Sim on film gets my vote! Soo many have portrayed the legendary role even Henry Winkler, R. 0wen-(BORING!), *George C., Scott, Marlo Thomas & any more, but they can't old a candle. Now it gets a wee bit confusing because Jim Carrey played THE GRINCH? (P.S. Groucho woulda'; been another good concert, do you agree?) (TRIVIA: You likely know his 1946 Mr. Potter was just the sane type of guy, right) -
