Barton_Keyes Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Well, maybe it will be posted by June 1st...guess we have to be patient a bit longer. At this point I would expect the schedule to be posted no sooner than June 1. I'm somewhat surprised it's taken so long, actually. Like the 31 Days of Oscar series, I would expect that the programmers have had the August schedule pretty much carved in stone for a while. In fact, I don't believe it's ever taken so long for a schedule to be available in the six years I've been frequenting this website. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they don't want to spoil things too far in advance. Or maybe they are coming up with new advertising campaigns to promote these scheduling blocks. I am sure they have a reason.

Bogie56 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 You don't understand. We need to have the schedule NOW, RIGHT THIS MINUTE. How else can we plan our lives?? The Canadian schedule for August won't come out for another month or so and then we can see all the 'new' films that won't be showing north of the 49th. I hope you appreciate just how much we are subsidizing you Yanks with our good cable dollars. Link to post Share on other sites

And at some point, August 1 is going to roll around and if you turn on TCM, you will see they still have classic movies playing. Link to post Share on other sites

midnight08 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 How do you get directed to the August schedule? Link to post Share on other sites
TopBilled Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 There are 15 new honorees. There are a handful of usual suspects (Hepburn, Crawford, Bergman, Cooper, Wayne, Astaire). They are still allotting a few days for Fox stars (Tierney & Woolley). There are some character actors on hand (Menjou, Massey, Cobb). There's one silent film star (Garbo). Menjou started in silent films but is remembered more for sound films. There is one African American (Rex Ingram). Precode stars are present (Crawford, Clarke Garbo, Fairbanks, Dietrich). Stars from the 60s & 70s are present (Arkin, Margret, Caine, Oates). There are 15 women and 16 men in this group. Link to post Share on other sites
jakeem Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Not bad! There are six people who were born in August (Mitchum, Bergman, Winters, Clarke, Wooley and Massey) and four who died during that month (Bergman, Groucho, Neal and Walker). Plus De Havilland gets a tribute a month after her 99th birthday on July 1st. Link to post Share on other sites
Kay Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hmph! There's no token foreign film star this time around. How disappointing, normally that's the main saving grace of the month. Maybe they'll stick a couple foreign films in edgeways on Bergman and Dietrich day (which would still be bunk, but it probably won't happen, anyway.) The silent film potential is no good, either. I guess I hold the most hope for George C. Scott day, on the off-chance that TCM might show They Might Be Giants, which I want to see. That's all I can think of, off hand. It's not all bad, just not very interesting to me. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, they are re-airing THE BLUE ANGEL on Dietrich's day. And they are showing several of the Italian films Ingrid made in the 50s, a well as her later AUTUMN SONATA. I agree that having Garbo cover the silent film bases is not the best choice, when there are so many more obscure silent films that people are wanting to see. They can show Garbo any time all year round. Link to post Share on other sites
jakeem Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Rex Ingram was one of the few actors who played both God and the Devil in films, so it's nice that Turner Classic Movies is showing "The Green Pastures" (1936) and "Cabin in the Sky" (1943) back to back on August 11th. But how could they show only two of the three Harry Palmer movies on Sir Michael Caine's day (August 6th) and telecast them out of order? "Billion Dollar Brain" (1967), the third film in the trilogy, airs at 9:45 a.m. Meanwhile, the first film in the series -- "The Ipcress File" (1965) -- will begin 12 hours later, at 10 p.m. The second film, "Funeral in Berlin" (1966), isn't being shown at all.

Yeah, he's not the only one. I'm not too crazy about the order of films on some other stars' days. A lot of it seems like they were jamming whatever titles they had into empty spaces without making it as cohesive as they could have. Link to post Share on other sites

AndyM108 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Yes, where is the link to the schedule. Topbilled or anyone please help. You can get the succeeding weeks by just clicking on Holden's link and then changing the "01" in the URL to "08", "15", "22" and "29". What a sorry selection. Not one foreign actor whose career wasn't primarily in Hollywood, unlike in recent years when we got Gabin, Deneuve, Mifune and Moreau. It's nice to see Lee J. Cobb and George C. Scott, but as a whole it's as if no imagination at all went into it. Just way too many of the same stale retreads like Cooper and Wayne and Hepburn. Thank God for baseball. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
