CaveGirl Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 What can TCM do to prevent such things? I for one am deeply disturbed that they have not solved such inconveniences for their devoted following here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 LOL...I love it...though I am sure this will be moved to the off-topic chit chat forum. Unless you connect it with scenes of rainfall and snowfall in classic film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TopBilled Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Has anyone seen this film (or read the book upon which it was based)..? I've always thought this was a beautiful film. Great cinematography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
film lover 293 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Like the red snow in 1975's "Breakheart Pass", based on Alistair MacLeans book--spam should NOT be eaten OR clicked on, as who knows what nasties the spam posts may contain--CaveGirl, I notify the mods (the "contact us" button), & I do so until spam is Gone. For the unwary or unprotected (computer-wise), spam is a danger. JMO. Edit: The food product is strictly up to a persons dietary preferences. Edit II--"Snow Falling On Cedars" is a beautifully photographed film, TopBilled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaveGirl Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Thanks, TB! The snowglobe reminds me of rhinoplasty since Everett Sloane got a nose job later and never looked as cute as he did as Mr. Bernstein. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The snowglobe reminds me of rhinoplasty since Everett Sloane got a nose job later and never looked as cute as he did as Mr. Bernstein. You're welcome. I was tempted to actually show a picture of Rosebud, but for the two people who still haven't yet seen CITIZEN KANE, I did not want to spoil it.

That might make William Randolph Hearst turn over in his grave, being that it was his pet name for Marian's uh, unmentionable parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaveGirl Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm sure my post would only stimulate interest in the Gregg Toland cinematography, TB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I'm sure my post would only stimulate interest in the Gregg Toland cinematography, TB. Incidentally, Gregg Toland is someone who deserves more recognition on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Incidentally, Gregg Toland is someone who deserves more recognition on TCM. So true, TB. Look at the classics he photographed like Mad Love, Dead End, wuthering Heights, Grapes of Wrath, The Little Foxes and The Best Years of Our Lives. But enough about that; I also feel TCM should be held accountable for climate change and just what are they doing about it I ask you??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you connect it with scenes of rainfall and snowfall in classic film. I can address both that AND "Frank Sinatra month". Just last night(or early morning, as per your POV), a scene in THE DEVIL AT 4 O'CLOCK had ash falling from the sky due to the volcano eruption. She didn't limit it to JUST rain and snow!

I've been volunteering with the local Habitat for Humanity. And I would love to see more environment- and community-conscious programming on TCM. I was just thinking about that yesterday.

CaveGirl Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 It would also behoove TCM to partner with Stouffers and come up with some specialized tv dinners which would compliment the daily line-up of films doncha think? Turkey and dressing for any really bad films and creme de la creme pie for Cannes film winners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slaytonf Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Things that fall from the sky. 1. Generally: Paper clips Washers (galvanized) Toe nail clippers Stuffed moose heads 2. In movies: Aliens (The Man Who Fell to Earth 1976) Chair parts (The Twelve Chairs 1970) Food (Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) Cows, Trojan Rabbits (Monty Python and the Holy Grail 1975) (Note: Most things that fall from the sky in movies do so in the 1970s.)

Frogs fall from the sky in Paul Thomas Anderson's MAGNOLIA, released in 1999. And soon, from what I hear, wine bottles will be falling from the sky in upcoming TCM ads filmed at Coppola's winery.

film lover 293 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 To retreat to book based things falling from the sky, a character in Jim Butcher's "Blood Rites" (2006?) is killed by a frozen turkey falling from the sky. And speaking of turkeys, a "shantal44" is busy posting spam right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
