I'm wondering if anyone else had the same experience I did at the Festival. It seems to me I kept seeing the same people at the screenings I attended. It was fun and a great way to make new friends through similar interests. With all the people attending and all the different programs to see I found it curious. I'd love to know if a study has ever been done on the brain wiring of filmgoers! Anyone notice this with their choice of movies at the festival? Yancey

Speaking of the Animal Style burger... I would suggest all next year's Festival goers to google In and Out's Secret Menu... It might be of interest to some. Yancey

Happy Birthday, Robert! If you are 79, you're a VERY young 79. Your energy at the festival seemed boundless. Yancey

As I remember it David Stern said the camera negative for HOOP-LA was the only one from that era _not_ in the big FOX fire. And that the print we saw came from that source. His talk before hand was quite informative and left me with a new found appreciation for Bow. Which her performance in the flim cemented. Yancey

As exhausted as I am from four days at the festival I can't imagine how Robert Osborne must feel. I was really impressed with how gracious he was in taking time to meet and chat with so many people. So many of us and only one Robert Osborne. As I entered Club TCM, for the closing night party, I found myself being moved into a line of people forming to meet Robert and have their picture taken with him. I figured he would have been long gone by then but, no, there he was, as generous as ever with his time. That was a pleasant surprise and what perfect timing as I was very close to the front of the line. We spoke about some of my favorite events. By the way my favorites - NIGHT FLIGHT and post interview with Drew Barrymore RO's interview with Peter O'Toole, RO's chat with Angela Lansbury before GASLIGHT the orchestra for THE MERRY WIDOW WHISTLE DOWN THE WIND The Tribute to THE NICHOLAS BROTHERS HOOP-LA WENT THE DAY WELL? My favorite experience of the whole festival. What an extraordinary screening that was. Never experienced a crowd reaction like that to a movie before. It was a rare treat. A very special memory. I have to agree that the closing evening took on an even more exciting mood with the Bin Laden announcement. I was in the theatre waiting for THE DEVIL IS A WOMAN to start when a woman turned to say her husband just got a text from a friend about Bin Laden. I figured it was one of those, Where were you when you heard moments... Surely an odd place to be for such an odd announcement but it was just another amazing highlight in a weekend of highlights. I felt it was a perfectly run festival. I couldn't have been happier. Kudos all around! Yancey

I remember Tom Brown asking the crowd in the lobby if anyone was from West Virginia. As that was the only state that did not have a pass holder. Yancey

Great Photo! On line waiting to see GASLIGHT... It was great to meet you guys and all the folks with whom I spent time talking about the movies we saw, the ones we had scheduled and the ones we hoped would show up next year. It was truly a memorable time! Yancey

I've never seen so many happy faces in one place and that includes Disneyland! Never met so many nice people! Thanks all for making my first day at the Festival so memorable! Yancey

lz - I'm cool with that. There's just so much going on I may not even notice those events! See you soon. Yancey

Get to Hollywood? I live in LA! I'm still not entirely sure what I'm entitled to take part in outside the films themselves. I haven't received any paper work as yet and I was told my material will be at will call. I plan on going early anyway to see what's what and try to get the lay of the land. I'm sure I'll be and at In and Out either way. Yancey

Just wanted to let you know that someone from the board was an actual 2nd Prize winner and will be attending as many screenings as they can! Whoo-Hoo!!! Yancey

"FOX MOVIE CHANEL (sic) HAS TCM BEAT" I'm compelled to respond to say there is no possible way FMC is better than TCM. I used to get the channel before it was a pay station on TW. I don't miss it. Never gave wanting to pay for it a second thought. They don't have... Robert Osborne Great tributes to artists of the past and present. Access to films from all studios Introductions to their movies Shorts I got to see ... Bowery Boys movies The Whistler Crime Doctor I Love a Mystery Richard Dix movies Wheeler and Woolsey moives Private Screenings... etc., etc, on TCM. Never would have seen ANY of that on FMC. In fact there's a FOX movie on TCM right now. When was the last RKO, MGM, WB, UNIVERSAL, PARAMOUNT film you saw FMC? Sure if you watch TCM everyday, all day, as I do there are going to be days and days when you've seen it all but there is always something to look forward to. And most importantly, they give great consideration to their viewers. Probably more so than any other channel I'm aware of. TCM creates a community atmosphere that doesn't seem to exist anywhere else. Sorry to be so long winded but as an extremely long time viewer obviously I couldn't let that statement go by without a rebuttal. Thanks for your time - Yancey

I am saddened to hear of Eddie's passing. My sympathy to the whole family. I've been there many times and everyone has always been quite friendly and helpful. Sometimes the best part of going there is when someone has a movie question and everyone, including the customers, jump in to help. Or else running into a well known personality and talking movies with them. There are three great video stores in the LA area that cater to movie lovers with an incredible list of hard to find movies but Eddie Brandt's is the one that has them all. Eddie was always kind to me. He will be missed. Yancey

I know in advance I'll be told CITY LIGHTS is a silent film but generally speaking silents are often over-looked. Surely there should be one or two more a season that are deemed essentials. Yancey

"The Color Purple" Check out wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allee_Willis A quick internet search was all it took! Yancey

I don't believe Rod Steiger's Private Screening interview has aired since it was first broadcast in 2000. Certainly not in the last 6 to 7 years. It was VERY briefly on the April Schedule and now it's gone. Replaced by the Norman Jewison interview. I know the podcast version was on the net a while back. Anybody know what's up with the television rights to this particular Private Screening? I was really looking forward to seeing it again. Yancey

_*Wheeler and Woolsey*_ should get a day. Especially if they could air SO THIS IS AFRICA. *_Bing Crosby_* - How about some of those rare early Paramounts? *_Aline MacMahon_*, a great actress showcased well in 1930's WB films. _*George Arliss*_ - Has he ever had a day? _*Guy Kibbee*_ - Featuring the Scattergood Baines Series from RKO _*Hattie McDaniel*_ - Has she ever had a day? If not, it's long overdue! _*Richard Barthelmess*_ Not sure if he ever had a day. Yancey

Gotta Love the EBT! The first Harry Langdon short they aired was interrupted in the LA area by a child abduction message. I never saw that kind of warning before. Hope the kid is alright! They don't come back and tell you. Yancey

Below Zero was quietly rebroadcast tonight between Love Me Tonight and Love in the Afternoon. Yancey

At the very least The Three Marx Brothers appear seperately in the color film - The Story of Mankind (1957) Wheeler and Woolsey appear in techincolor sequences in three films - Rio Rita (1929) The Cuckoos (1930) - 2 Strip Dixiana (1930) - 2 Strip Laurel and Hardy - The Rogue Song (1930) - The film is not complete but Laurel and Hardy sequences survive and are in color. The Tree in a Test Tube (1943) (documentary short) Babes in Toyland (1934) filmed in black and white was colorized during the colorization craze! One of Val Lewton's last produced films, Apache Drums (1951) was shot in technicolor. William Boyd has a cameo in The Greatest Show on Earth (1952) but I don't know if he ever starred in any features in color. Yancey

John Garfield's only color release is the WB comedy short - Swingtime in the Movies (1938) Like the other WB stars showcased, (Among the others are Bogart and the Dead End kids) Garfield is seen in the studio commissary. Yancey

It makes me quite angry to read this. Truthfully, I never liked clowns! This makes me dislike them even more. What a horrible, horrible man. Yancey

I read once, perhaps it was on IMDB, that during the Dick Van Dyke show, Van Dyke called Stan Laurel to get clearance for a Laurel and Hardy bit. Van Dyke he was shocked to find out from Stan that neither Stan nor Ollie owned the rights to their characters and subsequently their own likenesses. It seems impossible to believe but I guess it's plausible. Perhaps the Hal Roach company owned them and or their rights were sold when Hal Roach sold his library. Mostly it seems rather sad and typical. Anyone know the details of this? Yancey
