I hate watching ads. I do pay for services, in fact, I'll pay a little extra to not have ads. I have Dish and it works well for me. My Dish package also comes with a massive DVR which I use all the time. Sometimes I'll even record the shows I watch that have commercials just so I can fast forward th...

I have started an All Things Streaming thread. It probably isn't proper to talk about streaming here. I do enjoy all your posts SR5. Wasn't that a Toyota? You are flawlessly detail oriented and always good reading. Maybe you could write Ben's stuff. I know there is something called Pre-Code but kno...

So Ben may not be a good fit for TCM if his favorite movies are from the 70s. I don't watch much TCM except for the weekends, and even then, during the day. Ben's first movie is prime-time, during the week, at 5 PM my time. Mamma watches a lot of news and 5 PM is news time. I am guessing Ben announ...

I plan on creating a thread for all things streaming. There's nothing simple about it anymore. You might even hear me complain that satellite TV does not carry MeTV, and I love my MeTV. I used to have MeTV too, but it was taken off. I think with Me-TV specifically, it was available on Dish as part ...

I realize my post should have been in a different thread, but I'm trying to sneak in the idea of people getting tired of programming on TCM and looking for a replacement or just a little break. Excellent post speedracer5. I used to own The Muppet Movie and The Great Muppet Caper on RCA Video Disc. ...

We just got a new TV. It's pretty sweet because we're able to put all our streaming services on it. On our old TV, we had the streaming services on it, except I couldn't access Criterion Channel, because the app wasn't compatible with our TV. I used a Google Chrome Cast to cast the app from my phone...

The 70s SOTM theme is only WB library titles, most of which were already seen in April. They could have done much better. Par for the course, though! :D I'm curious if anyone is using "Max," the new name for HBO Max? I have Max too but that's because it comes free with my phone. I watch i...

I love that you mentioned so many stars who were prominent during pre-code era. No joke, the last 4-5 precodes in a row that I've watched have featured the dream team of Frank McHugh and Guy Kibbee. Those two were in everything! I would welcome days devoted to either one of them. Roscoe "well s...

...but I just didn't buy Thelma having a sudden case of remorse or maybe disgust and sticking that cig lighter into Tony's puss and causing the car crash. To me, this had the Production Code requirements of the time written all over it. I also vaguely remember watching this film years ago but could...

I liked when they added the second showing of Noir Alley. I do sometimes try to make a point to watch Noir Alley in real-time, but that was not happening when it came on at 7am on Sunday. Plus, 7am on Sunday is not a noir time for me. 7am is time for things like "The Golden Girls" or &quo...

With the July schedule released, that means that the annual Summer Under the Stars (SUTS) schedule should be available within the next month or so. Who would you like to see featured this year? While I know that some of the days will feature the usual suspects, I'd love to see some of the less featu...

I like the 70s SOTM theme. I've been wanting to see more films from this time. Next we'll be into the annual SUTS programming. With "Wrath of God" w/ Rita Hayworth and Robert Mitchum extending over to 8/1, I wonder if this is indicative of a Mitchum or Hayworth SUTS day. Gilda precedes it,...

This is a great list of movies. If I didn't already own them, I'd be all over "Angel Face," The Damned Don't Cry," and "Caged." I am probably going to get "Dangerous When Wet" to replace a damaged DVD I have. Like you I don't feel the need to replace movies I alre...

And I thought I was the only curmudgeon who didn't luv luv luv Mrs. Doubtfire , as my spousal unit does. Since it's so unreal anyway, I thought it should have had the "happy" ending where the spouses get back together. For me, the film has all the problems noted by Cinema International an...
