NipkowDisc Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 two cult horror films from the seventies that tcm could be showing and I really got a kick outta them when I saw them on pay cable back in the seventies.... a residential building due to be torn down occupied by seniors who have lived there for so long they doan wanna leave, film is great fun... Homebodies (1974) only thing I doan like is paula trueman sticking a butcher knife in linda marsh because the viewer almost immediately begins to feel sorry for her. she was just doing her job and the new apartments were pretty spiffy for the early seventies. plus linda marsh looked kinda hot like a sexually repressed librarian. and... psychic killer(1975) with jim hutton as the astral projecting killer. the meat grinding scene with Neville brand is a hoot. no sign of these two minor but well-executed flicks anywhere, certainly not on slack tcm.

TopBilled Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 I misread your thread title and thought it said "Cinema Sickness." I was like, what is TCM Cinema Sickness? A definition from Google: Slackness refers to vulgarity in West Indian culture, behavior and the music. It also refers to a subgenre of dancehall music with straightforward sexual lyrics performed live or recorded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LsDoorMat Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 There might be rights problems or it just may not be in TCM's library. TCM probably does not want to pay a great deal to fill the TCM Underground slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a bit wooden for my tastes. It's one thing for the real work he has done, but this award was for his on-air self. Nuff said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I shoulda used the word hymn. tcm would sing hymns to themselves they would like. they make out like they're this great superb cinemaphiles despite loads of movies they are not showing. has Shirley booth ever been SOTM despite only her small number of movies? I bet if she was tcm WOULD NOT procure hot spell to show. they are too cheap and would consider it too much trouble. Topbilled, you're a smart guy. one of the top intellects on these boards. has the original british version of hammer studio's Dracula ever been shown over here? one thing I know. it sure hasn't been shown on tcm. they laud themselves as great devotees of cinema but their conduct does not substantiate it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd get through Shirley Booth's films in an evening, but I get what you are saying-- they definitely are not showing enough Paramount films, which is where Booth was under contract to Hal Wallis in the 1950s. I have great difficulty believing anyone requested they broadcast THE GARBAGE PAIL KIDS MOVIE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an aside, I would take Roller Boogie over The Garbage Pail Kids Movie anyday. I've always resented the Garbage Pail Kids for not having a character with my name. They came out with one during the Garbage Pail Kids' brief renaissance; but by then it was too little, too late. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the guy who requested The Garbage Pail Kids Movie be shown on TCM, and YEAH through use of proper channels, I got it DONE! See Nip?! MAYBE if you'd just calm down a bit and use those "proper channels" like I did, you might get to see your precious little Shirley Booth in that damn Hot Spell flick on TCM, TOO!!! (...now, what WERE those "proper channels" I'm talking about here?...well, let just say you have to know the right people who are good at placing a horse head in Ben Mankiewicz's bed, that's all) 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
