    If people would only understand that long ago, I withdrew my application for entry into the popularity contest, things would be simpler...

    That I can relate to.  There is also an auto-censor on this forum...

    OK, enough!

    Take all this "brou-ha" to the PMs. 

    Back to the thread.....

    Actually, and paying more attention to the hosts'  appearances between  two movies last night(it was Alicia) all I noticed was a slow zoom.  And barely any movement from Alicia herself.  So I'll have to pay more attention when other hosts are used(and considering TCM shows anything I care to watch that night) to see what this "slo-mo" complaint is all about.

    There is no "brouhaha", SEPIATONE, merely having fun with another member.   Go read another thread that bore you, m'dear.  ;)

    I don't think he's on green, but that back and forth movement of this camera "slider" is beyond annoying. 

    I just saw it, all cracks aside, as Ben Mankiewicz introduced a PAUL ROBESON Documentary. 

    The sliding camera which is not unlike being off pitch at sea, is distracting, but it does give us a lovely shot of the tower of perfectly shaped logs inserted in a wall niche to supply the electric fireplace...

    Yes, I'm a boomer. Yes, there's nothing cool about me. And Ben is right, I don't like change. But that's only because it's been my experience that most change isn't really necessary or helpful. They already had a great product, with great brand appeal. Now, I dunno what they're trying to be, or to whom.

    I can relate. I am perplexed.  I am grateful though I missed Ben in front of a green screen on a rolling ship.  Sheesh.

    Actually, Orson Welles discovered Bernard Herrmann when he created the Mercury Theatre on the Air in 1937. It produced some of the most extraordinary radio to ever hit the airwaves. Welles’s direction and acting, Bernard Herrmann’s visionary scores and the likes of Joseph Cotten and Agnes Moorehead in supporting roles, combined to produce electrifying renditions of established classics.  In 1941, Welles went to Hollywood with this extraordinary group to produce his masterpiece, Citizen Kane.  That was Herrmann's first film score.  And before Newman collaborated with Herrmann to create the much-overlooked but incredibly haunting score for The Egyptian, Herrmann had already attracted the attention of Alfred Hitchcock.  

     

    I'm sure you're right, but I'm sure I had read somewhere that ALFRED NEWMAN had a hand in getting BERNARD HERRMANN employed at FOX... 

    I read this at Wiki today: 

    "Music historian Robert R. Faulkner is of the opinion that had Newman not been music director at Twentieth Century Fox, composers such as Bernard Herrmann, Alex North, and David Raksin, all of whose music was somewhat radical, might never have had such major careers in Hollywood."
