Ha ha, it never fails. Give something they have been craving for, and they are right back with wanting more.

Get on their mailing list, that's how I found out about it. The link should be somewhere on the Warner site.

On TCM today...(and, by the way, this thread is now NOT going to be just "today on TCM". I am working on a large piece on "The 39 Steps" in its various incarnations, and I have other things after that.)

And here's a really spooky poster for "Dead of Night." I'm actually surprised these graphics were approved way back then.

Hi, Valentine.
Yes, for the first while, I was thinking I might turn it off, but then the absurdity began to make me laugh. And I could see how Monty Python could be inspired by this.
The one problem I am having from that evening is I can't get that blasted "Summer Holiday" song out of my head! Interesting notes about Lauri Peters from Wikipedia: "Peters created the role of Liesl Von Trapp in the original 1959 Broadway production of The Sound of Music. She received a Tony Award nomination for Best Supporting or Featured Actress in a Musical, which she shared with her sibling castmates. She was married to actor Jon Voight (1962–67), whom she met when he joined the cast as Nazi messenger boy Rolfe, with whom Liesl has a song ("Sixteen Going on Seventeen") and a mutual attraction."

The 5 for $50 sale is here sooner than you thought. Today only and free shipping.
But I agree with you. I had trouble finding 5 titles before, but now with the things they have been issuing it is even harder.

The left edge of this had been removed by someone not very careful.

I thought it was,
"Listen up, ya muggs, you're not gettin' your commendment tablets from anywhere but my mob, see. Ten, hah! That's small stuff. I can get ya fifty of them for the same price...mebbe a little more."

re: Body Heat, I'd forego Hurt and the other stars. Better to have Lawrence Kasdan, because he wrote and directed it, and thus must have a love for film noir and would be better to speak on the subject. I'd half-expect William Hurt to say, "I'm just an actor. I don't know."

Kyle, those WB title lobby cards are wonderful!

Some various Blu-ray news...
*************
Kino Video have revealed that they are preparing Blu-ray releases of Albert Parker's silent Sherlock Holmes (1922) and Buster Keaton's Seven Chances (1925). Additionally, the studio is also bringing Frank Borzage's original Farewell to Arms (1932), winner of two Oscar Awards, and William A. Wellman's Nothing Sacred (1937).
Street date for Sherlock Holmes and Seven Chances is December 13th. Street date for Farewell to Arms and Nothing Sacred is December 27th.
*************
An early announcement to retailers indicates that PBS will release on Blu-ray Paul Mariano and Kurt Norton's documentary These Amazing Shadows: The Movies That Make America (2011). Earlier this year, the film was screened at the Sundance Film Festival. Street date is November 22.
These Amazing Shadows: The Movies That Make America tells the history and importance of The National Film Registry, an eclectic collection of films that typify cinema's contributions to American culture. The 550 films inducted thus far constitute a roll call of national cultural and artistic treasures that reflect a nation's self-perception, fears, and ambitions.
************
While the Criterion Collection will release its January slate later this month, the distributor has posted a still frame on its Facebook page hinting at a potential January title. Criterion will not confirm the film's identity until mid-October, but most believe that the picture indicates a Belle de Jour Blu-ray.
***********

Street date for Repo Man and The Insect Woman/ Nishi-Ginza Station is February 20th.
Street date for Accattone and The Gospel According To Matthew is March 26th.

I asked for it to be moved to the "Your Favorites" forum. I've decided I would like to add new posts on a regular basis, which goes beyond the original month I planned, so having it there makes it easier for you and me to find it than digging through pages here in General Discussions.
Here's the new address for it:
Tomorrow: the 3-most overplayed films on TCM...?

"...not to draw out negative comments from other viewers or to draw out excuses from the apologists"
You tell us a lot about yourself when you refer to people who defend TCM as "apologists". That's a major slip.
