Metropolisforever Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I DON'T watch movies on TV. I can't pause them, and I can't rewind them. I don't have a TiVO or a DVR. My family members are always bothering me. (I was trying to watch Killer of Sheep, but my annoying brother interrupted the movie and started bothering me.) TCM On Demand does not have very many films. My "high-quality" TV is always messing up. TCM only shows silent films at midnight, when nobody is watching.

ChelseaRialtoStudios Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I hate watching movies on TV too. Which is why I watch them this way: That's a 16mm print of THE BAND WAGON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markbeckuaf Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Since I work so much when the best movies are on TCM, I rarely watch live. On the rare occasion when I can watch live (when they are doing Cagney in prime time,or the occasional cool Friday night or Saturday lineup in the early AM), I like to, it does bring with it a certain "feel", but I'm always recording, even then, even if I don't keep the film, because it does give me the option to watch in chase play, so that I can pause and stuff when I want to. Still cool though to have that shared experience, whenever possible, even if slightly delayed. I would suggest getting TIVO, or a DVR. Or even a VCR, honestly. Whatever can let you time shift your viewing and allow for pausing. Well worth the investment, particularly as many of TCM's best movies are on in the wee hours (for me that is 2am, though it's 6AM EST). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
