GGGGerald Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 http://splitsider.com/2015/07/maya-rudolphs-kids-are-learning-classic-film-lingo-thanks-to-tcm/ This is a great example of the real reason TCM plays so many of the greatest films over and over in prime time. There is always a youngster who has never seen it before. And might be influenced by it. And I bet there are parents who feel safer showing classic films to their children these days. Who knows, maybe trenchcoats and fedoras might come back in style again ? I will definitely watch this miniseries. Now, has IFC and TCM, its a match made in heaven ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, clearly TCM has to strike some type of balance as it relates to their programming. As someone that has been really into studio-era movies for around 25 years, around 70% of the time TCM is showing a movie I have seen before. But hey, if it is a movie I really like I'll often watch it or part of it or I turn to some of the newer movies stations like MOVIES-TV for 20th Century Fox films or GET-TV for Columbia films, that TCM doesn't feature much if at all. As for trench coats; these are not going to make a comeback in CA unless we get some rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember friends wearing members only jackets in 90 degree heat in the 80's ! But, like the rock stars say, they always try to give it their all on stage because there is always one fan for whom its their first show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could be right when it comes to wishing to be in style people do really stupid things. e.g. When I was in southern Italy last May there was a day or two that was much hotter than it usually is. I put on shorts and a t-shirt and went walking around the small town I was in. Well 95% of the other guys were dressed like it was cold out. Some even had that sweater tied around their neck thing going on (which is common in the town). Now people were looking at me since I looked totally out of place. But I was looking at them, thinking how unconformable they must be. But yea, they were stylish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arturo Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 . . . which leads us back to Degrassi Reminds me of John Cryer in some 1980s John Hughes movie, with Molly Ringwald, PRETTY IN PINK, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikisoo Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well I thought this thread was about STAR TREK NEXT GENERATION. It was ok, but I'm a original series gal all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
