    Related to those red  ruby slippers:  The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures  in Hollywood will open on Sept. 30th.   Today's Sunday L.A. Times has a entire section devote to it.   There is an interview with Jacqueline Stewart,   Chief Artistic and Programming officer.     She calls the slippers the "Mona Lisa" of the museum. 

    Darn, I already took my vacation to Hollywood last month, wish I would've waited. I was already bummed enough I missed out on a visit to the Hollywood museum and the Hollywood Heritage museum this time, but now I have reason to take another trip at least! Also does anyone know if they moved the pair of ruby slippers from the Hollywood museum in the Max Factor building to this new one or is it a different pair? That's where they were when I saw them around 2017.

    I'm not sure why anyone would answer this.

    Movies and TV draw some really rabid aficionados and to openly draw the attention of the world at large to your possessions seems foolhardy.

    The closest analogy I have is the art of driving through neighborhoods after internationally or religiously important gift-giving days, noting the TV boxes, and other evidence of new large-ticket items at the curb.

     

    It's literally just for fun man, there's no rule saying you have to answer. Not even entirely sure what you're trying to say because collectors have a presence all over the internet. It's practically human nature to share and bond over possessions. Strange that you had to come up with an analogy that doesn't even compare, but you do you I guess.

  3. I'm curious if anyone else has come across some random or interesting old Hollywood movie or actor related memorabilia that they just had to have. Share yours!

    I'll go first:

    1) Might not necessarily be "old Hollywood" related however it's a great piece of Buster Keaton History. 😁

    Original sheet music from 1902 depicting a very young Buster Keaton with his parents, aka The Three Keatons.

    I'm watching the beautiful Eleanor Parker,  in films such as Scaramouche and  now The  Very Thought of You,  but according to my cable,   today TCM is showing Janet Leigh films:  E.g. Romance of Rosy Ridge.

    Is this happening to others?

     

     

    Yeah I'm currently watching The Very Thought of You too and was wondering this too. Romance of Rosy Ridge was on yesterday, schedule on website shows Chaplin's Modern Times is gonna be on later, but my guide doesn't show it at all and all the movies seem wrong.

  5. Since this movie was on yesterday I was curious how the posters might've looked, and to be fair a dead deer might not have drawn in audiences, but this is just misleading in my opinion. If I saw this I would think I was going to see a film about a happy family and their little pet or whatever, but I guess they expected people to have already read the book. I had never seen the film until yesterday and my dad had warned me about it, but man I was unprepared.

  6. I'm not entirely sure what's happening as the email confused the hell out of me, but I swear to god if "Turner Classic Movies" turns into "Turner Newer Movies" or gets rid of any of the good stuff I'm going to rage. It's the one channel I watch regularly and find comfort in and that's coming from a 20 year old so don't worry, if younger people are their only target audience imma be fighting for the classics to stay. Bring it on TCM!😤

    Here's another good reference source for ya here, Sue. If, that is, you've never run across it before.

    It's Rich's (long time TCM board member 'scsu1975') "Now Playing 100 Years Ago"  thread that he's had running for over 2 years now in the "Films and Filmmakers" forum section of this website:

    NOW PLAYING (100 YEARS AGO) - Films and Filmmakers - TCM Message Boards

    Thank you so much, Dargo!
