Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Do you mean the giftcard giveaway over there, or the actual lottery? I ask because I noticed that even before the TCM boards closed he was talking a lot about buying laptops and a new bed and other sundry items, which I found odd since he often posted in the past about garbage sifting and frequenti...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

I just visited the "other thread" and you might want to check out the "Arts & Leisure" section. It is pretty the old TCM Off Topics. This might offend a couple of people here because they post on it. Just wanted to warn people if they go over there.

Re: Test post

Thanks Lomm for setting up the Noir Alley section under TCM on the Board Index page. Being in the dark about how this works I did not realize that the previous Noir Alley thread I had created would not be used as the base for the new one. Appreciate setting up the new site and hopefully it will beco...

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

New Topic, Noir Alley works and is on the list under TCM on the Board Index page, Unfortunately all the comments up to this point are still under Noir Alley on TCM. Still trying to get used to how this site works. But appears Noir Alley under TCM on Board Index page would be the place to go to discu...

Re: Finally here, hooray

Welcome to each and all. Appears we are not only building the membership here, but increasing the activity as well. A win for us "transfers" and a win for SSO and its existing members and administrators as well.

Noir Alley Dec. 10/11

The feature this week will be Walk Softly, Stranger (1950) with joseph Cotton, Alida Valley, Spring Byington. Comes on at 12:15 on Saturday night. The posts from the other Noir Alley sites did not migrate. But if we focus only on this page it should correct itself in the future. Apologize for the co...

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

I created both threads inadvertently. I created one under Crime and Film Noir before I discovered a TCM section on the Board Index. Leaving both accessible will be confusing. Recommend that one under Crime and Film Noir be combined with one under TCM. Also, that on the Board Index page, Noir Alley ...

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

Just a note to say that I am not sure the threads can be combined. I think we would hesitate to delete one for the other with comments in there that might be lost. I would be more inclined to think one might become the primary thread for it. Lomm is the expert on all technical things but will see w...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

So glad I didn't join that one now, I was watching to see where any of those Off Topic Political posters were going and I was going to avoid that site I believe both of them are here as well, but hopefully will leave the politics on the other board. I belong to both sites. Top Billed is trying very...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Just perused the site recently created by a TCM ex-pat and noticed many followed him and some are on this one as well. All well and good, but I also noticed that two posters from the highly politicized TCM Off Topics have already posted very political comments on the other site. Probably won't sign...

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

I believe Eddie pointed out in his outro that the Metholene Blue would not have resurrected a body. Apparently it was to be used immediately if someone was exposed to the gas. I think Eddie thought of her as the worst femme fatale because she had no redeeming social value, unless you count looks. Fr...

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

"Decoy" was pretty crazy. I'd never seen it before. I don't think that I've ever seen a plot that involved reviving someone who was executed. Jean Gillie's character was certainly ruthless. I kind of like the fact that there was no romance subplot shoehorned in. Jean Gillie used every sin...

Re: Noir Alley on TCM

Can we not have the moderators delete one of them? I requested that they have just one under the TCM section on the Board Index page. I think it is as significant as having one for The Essentials. Maybe they don't do anything on the week-ends or else it takes a while. Just waiting to see at this po...
