Re: Best New Finds

My favorite recent finds are: Paris Blues (1961) with Sidney Poitier, Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, and Diahann Carroll. Poitier and Newman star as American expats who make their living in Paris as jazz musicians. Woodward and Carroll appear as American tourists who fall in love with Newman and Poit...

Re: Best New Finds

Ohayau, the Female Demon (1968) Yoshihiro Ishikawa, Japan Chopper (2000) Andrew Dominik, Australia I really like those two, as well. Of the many features I've watched lately, I would recommend these: Alice in Wonderland (1915) W.W. Young, USA Filibus (1915) Mario Roncoroni, Italy The End of the Wor...

Re: April 2023 Schedule Posted, WB 100th Anniversary

TCM actually posted a .pdf on their site with the entire WB schedule. All the Looney Tunes shorts and WB-related interstitials are listed.

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

That is busy. We did Disneyland a few years back at the beginning of a TCMFF trip - flew into SNA and out of BUR. Have also done Universal on the Wednesday before, as it's a very quick Metro ride up to Universal (2 stops, IIRC) and only takes a little more than a half day to do everything. Might do...

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

Can't say that I'm excited about "There's Something About Mary." I was hoping for something really cool. This is definitely an anti-climactic announcement. On the brightside, it opens up that timeslot for one of the other movies I was interested in that was conflicting with the TBA.

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

I'll be there from the 12th to the 17th. Still deciding what to do on the 12th, if anything. Now our plans have changed slightly and we'll be at Disneyland on the 9th and 10th and in Hollywood on the 11th. We traded the beach for Disney. Our 12th is jam-packed. My husband and I are attending a brea...

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

Thanks for the heads-up. I typed everything into 4 spreadsheets and made my own grid schedule. I kept checking for a schedule grid after the schedule was published, but stopped after a couple days. I made my own schedule in Excel on the day the schedule was released too. It was too much of a brain ...

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

The silver lining for me is that this is my first festival, so I don't know what I'm missing. I was happy that they finally posted a .pdf of the schedule on the website. Though I had to use the snip it tool and stretch it so that it printed on two pages and not part of one page, with most of Saturd...

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

Lol. I would just watch it for all the dancing! Though Saturday Night Fever is kind of depressing, so that is definitely a strike against it. I've seen The Adventures of Robin Hood in the theater before--though at the time of the first festival, I'm not sure that I'd seen 'Robin Hood' in the theate...

Re: Sue Sue's TCM Film Festival Tidbit Travel Blog

Great post! It's interesting that they showed "Casablanca" twice at the festival. Oof that Saturday. Saturday Night Fever or The Adventures of Robin Hood?! Decisions Decisions. Wow, speedy! Who would have ever guessed that John Travolta would've ever come close to displacing Errol in your...

Re: 2023 TCM Film Festival

If you're signed up for e-mail notifications about the festival, they'll send you an e-mail when they release the schedule. Yes. I have the email notifications. I just want them to hurry up and post the schedule. Speedy, I think you need to cancel all your plans and come to this festival in New Yor...

Re: 2023 TCM Film Festival

I've been stalking the site because I'm anxious to see the final schedule. It's the final piece of the pie, so to speak, of my vacation. I've got every other facet of it planned. Every reservation made. Tickets purchased. But we don't have any idea what we're doing during the festival except seeing...
