Re: I Just Watched...

I spent the week watching the movies of Guru Dutt which are expiring on Criterion Channel at the end of the month. I am of Indian descent, but I don't really watch Hindi movies because I prefer classic Hollywood and art house films. I listen to the old Hindi film music a lot more than I watch the mo...

Re: I Just Watched...

Odd the name of the case's maker would get mention, but the name of the SLR camera Stewart uses to spy on Thorwald is covered up to hide the maker's name(Miranda). I know that due to me once having the same camera. Recognized it right off. Sold it for $40 on Ebay back in '04. ;) The name of that te...

I hope so! At least you know it would be done better than anything Amazon could come up with.

Re: May 2023 Schedule Posted, William Powell is SOTM

. . . As EP mentioned they offer thematic programming of some classic films, a lot of art house and independent films. Actually, txfilmfan provided that description of The Criterion Channel. My apologies! Props for txfilmfan for accurately describing what Criterion Channel is. The service never set...

Re: May 2023 Schedule Posted, William Powell is SOTM

As I mentioned during my brief cameo on a different forum, Criterion should buy the TCM properties and give the Film Struck concept a second chance. Criterion is a boutique home video distribution company which license films from rights owners. It would never have the capital needed to license the ...

Re: April 2023 Schedule Posted, WB 100th Anniversary

Wait until next April when it's MGM's 100th Anniversary. :P The promotional video they made focused on newer movies and MGM titles with a dash of some old movies. I realize they have to cater to modern audiences, but they could have included Bette Davis, Jimmy Cagney, and Edward G. Robinson. TCM is ...

Re: The Making of Gone With The Wind...

The Max Steiner documentary covers Gone With the Wind nicely. You get to see the handwritten scores and notes Steiner made to his orchestrators. He was quite a character! Daniel Selznick offers some additional insight on his father's drug usage and just how destructive it was. The Making of a Legend...

It happened to me three times over the last week or so. I use a MacBook, and Safari. It's never happened to me before. I was using the link provided on that TCM post. I've since deleted that link. The case I tested yesterday, I went looking for trouble and just clicked links without looking. Apart ...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Someone on the "other" site has posted that a link to SSO on the old TCM boards leads to a "really vulgar, pornographic gif". I checked myself to see if I could find what they meant, but all of the links I clicked just led here. I asked the person (named "Newbie") to p...
