HOOPS, it appears most TCM-ITES only really care about classic cinema & not 1 has even chimed-in as yet  Same as modern items I posted in the past  I by far adore HOLLYWOODS GOLDEN AGE-(circa 1925 to 1960-63) but also cover new releases, going on 37 years for 2018.  (COMPLAINT: & with each time nowadays going to a new release, we have tv commercials up the you know what  vs. what THE MOGULS intended  The DREAM FACTORIES would always have first a short subject, cartoon, trailers, travelogus, newsreels, etc  People & kids could actually also learn something before the features back then  Just 1 case in point, most people today really believe THE THREE STOOGES were filmed for tv?  A NEAT TRICK GIVEN THEY STARTED FOR COLUMBIA & WHATS DUBBED "MEANEST MAN IN TOWN"-(great book by James Bacon by the way) *HARRY COHN in 1934. I only went to approx. (4) summertime releases this year, fed-up with rehashes, super heroes, remakes & sequels-(P.S. Though remember this, almost every yr at least 1 makes it into the *Oscar race) Though early & almost a spring release B. PANTHER may make the BP cut? Also had-(due to NATALIE!) go to TCM's Summer Series & the 10 time sweeping 18961 *WEST SIDE STORY, saw JURASSIC WORLD 5 & JUST 3 DAYS BACKM WENT TO A LETDOWN IN "THE MEG" only film left for me is CHRISTOPHER ROBIN-(August)

But -please throw in your many cents on above titled topic Respect you guys & i9f anybody wants I;'ll add/revise above annual "FORBES" highest pd stars to No #10 0out of the usual #20   How the mighty have fallen, about a decade ago Cruise was at the top, among o9thers including M. McCarthy, *Sandy Bullock,etc???
