Re: I Just Watched...
I feel like I have to do a whole post to just deal with the bewildering enigma known as Myra Breckinridge (1970). there is the one thing that lifts it up a few levels, and that is Mae West as a lusty talent agent (who cozies up at one point to Tom Selleck). This was her first film in close to 30 ye...

Re: I Just Watched...
On my most recent viewing, I realized for the first time that the dragon in Billy's drawing has the head of Mrs. Deagle! It's always fun when you discover something you missed in earlier viewings of a fave movie. I saw GREMLINS in the theater and didn't like it at all. Tried watching it a few more ...

Re: 2023 TCM Film Festivalwa
I can't wait until we start getting more updates about the festival. I'm looking forward to March when the schedule is released. My husband and I will have to work together to make the tough decisions. He is not as much of a classic film fanatic as I am, but he does enjoy the films and knows who th...

Re: Familiar faces, new forum
Yes, I've been doing that. It's cumbersome though. How did you locate your posts on the old TCM message boards? For me, the steps I used there were similar to the ones I use here. Well, I'm not talking about much older posts; rather I'm referring to posts I may have made when something was in the &...

Re: Do you want a Like button?
BTW, I didn't vote in the poll. Vautrin told me it was a waste of time and no single vote matters. This is probably a joke based on something Vautrin posted on the TCM boards. While I don't know the specifics (or even the generalities), I found it funny. Vautrin prided himself on never voting! :( P...

Re: Familiar faces, new forum
I have a little trouble navigating here. For example, if I post something that's in one of the "Recent Topics" section, I find that I can't locate the thread easily later, because I don't remember (or didn't notice) what topic it was in. If you click on the link to your Profile, you will ...

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button
To be honest, I feel that a "like" button discourages interaction and is a net negative in a forum. It's far to easy to just click "like" and move on, which we see on Social Media all the time. A forum like this is meant for discussion, not garnering "likes". I am not ...

Re: I Just Watched...
GREMLINS (1984) Directed by Joe Dante Screenplay by Chris Columbus I've seen this movie a few times in its entirety, and some scenes I have watched many, many times (notably the scenes with Mrs. Deagle). Some people consider this comedy horror film a Christmas movie because it's set during the Chris...

Bronxgirl and Speedy, My Cousin Rachel is shown on FXM.. if you get FXM it's On Demand now, probably will be there for at least a week. Thanks Lav! Or I guess I should call you Kay now. I don't have FXM unfortunately. But I do see that I can rent this movie on Amazon Prime. I'll have to check it ou...

REDS? Hoganman1, Lost Horizons has indicated that you have correctly identified his spoiler. Do you have a spoiler of your own? If you pass, I have one that I could post to keep the challenge going.

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button
I respectfully disagree. We don't need no stinkin' buttons I remain against it because it suppresses discussion and is open to misuse . It is common for a person to dither about writing a reply because they are not sure how to word it or because of the time involved. Having a button decides the mat...

Re: I Just Watched...
Ivy (1947) Joan Fontaine plays the titular character, Ivy Lexton, who aspires to have the finest things in life. I also re-watched IVY very recently. I agree that Joan Fontaine's performance is brilliantly subtle. Joan Fontaine is now one of my favorite female actors. I had not seen any of her movi...

Re: Johnny Guitar
Perhaps one of you Nicholas Ray mavens knows: did Philip Yordan actually write the screenplay for JOHNNY GUITAR? In his autobiography Edward Dmytryk noted that Yordan was sometimes a conduit for work from blacklisted writers. Was that true for this film? Supposedly most of the screenplay for JOHNNY...
