A few classic silents will be shown, Tuesday the 24th Souls for Sale starring the infamous Barbara Lamarr who was known as the girl who was too beautiful, A Woman of Paris and Greed starring Zasu Pitts, all these movies are about sin, greed and jilted love, the stuff movies are made of. Last but not least, TCM will be showing Black classic movies, many made outside of Hollywood by Oscar Micheaux, Jan 2, starting at 6, his silents Within Our Gates, Symbol of the Unconquered: A Story of the Ku Klux Klan- this is the answer to The Birth of a Nation, Body and Soul starring Paul Robeson, and the great black sound musical/drama "Swing" starring one of the most beautiful women to appear on screen, Dorothy Van Engle, than later that day at 3:00, Mystery In Swing will be shown another black classic included is a great cast, Monte Hawley, considered in his time, the greatest of the black actors, and also Margaret Whitten, and gorgeous, talented Josephine Edwards, great music and some convincing actors and actress. I think you would enjoy this. On, Sunday Night Jan 8 at 2:00 Emperor Jones starring Paul Robeson and Fredi Washington is a must see! On a Sunday Morning on Jan 15 at 6:00, Green Pastures will be shown, a wonderful Hollywood bibical movie with a black cast, you will enjoy this. I think I may wear out my recorder. Keep up the good work TCM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newswatcher4u Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I really don't appreciate TCM not allowing various email programs _or_ the javascript webpage from being saved in nice neat text format (only for printing now) for the new schedules. Really bad form! Must have some stock in the printer companies... I used to save a nice neat notebook .txt file on my desktop to quickly open and view that month's schedule in easy to read format. No more...not good! Can't save a nice copy in Agent, Poco, IE browser (only printing allowed), and TheBat! Terrible! Rank, actually... Also, TCM has blocked the future months links (reverts back to "index" which is crap). Sorry to rant, but I am totally pi**ed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Horvath Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Perhaps, if you set your email program to receive all email in TEXT format only and applied to receive the email-schedule from TCM, you'd have your printable copy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newswatcher4u Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Thanks, Alan. My newsreader program is text only and _still_ doesn't save in format for txt as it did before. They've done something to mess-up this previously very useful feature for people on their schedule email (I've been on their schedule for almost 2-years). I receive the schedule in .html but it has always been easy to save as text from _any_ email reader even IE6 (I have four readers, but don't use Outlook). Whomever thought of doing this (especially the java pop-up in the "index" page with no print option) should be severely punished. It was great for two years, now it's crap...but thanks for your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan_Horvath Posted December 28, 2005 Share Posted December 28, 2005 Oh well. At any rate, I'm not very familiar with the "old" site, but I think the new web site has some serious problems with it! I'm on a MAC OS X and with Firefox/Netscape or IE browsers, NONE of the top menu buttons on the new site work! I click on them and *nothing* happens ... I have to scroll to the bottom of the page, go to the Site Map and access pages from there. Someone in the web design department is definitely asleep at the wheel ... or getting no sleep at all, trying to resolve the site for MACs (although I find that difficult to believe). The entire top menu area is done in Flash so I can't view the source code to see what's being done wrong ... but it sure isn't built correctly.
