offers this trigger warning: (snipped) has this warning: (snipped) Thanks for posting that, I had no idea this sort of thing is now done for live performances too. Makes me wonder if it's simply to protect the production from being sued. I can't imagine anyone walking out because of a warning. Beli...

Let's put it this way arout the very....aromatic film The Oscar. It's one of the very few films that I found so terrible that I couldn't see it through to the end. I couldn't take it anymore. I have sat and seen the wntirety of some ghastly cinematic abominations in my day, but The Oscar was one of...

For what it worth, TCM, the channel itself, received a momentary side swipe this past week, on what, ironically, was a show on TCM's sister network HBO. This past Friday's episode of Real Time with Bill Maher was capped off at the end with an 8 minute opinion piece on the absurdity of content "...

Ben's been on Sunday Morning for years. His TCM job is just one of many. All the hosts have multiple gigs going, and TCM is just a part-time thing. Same was true for Robert Osborne.

They should program The Oscar back-to-back with Valley of the Dolls...

Had to go look to see what Academy Award noms it got: Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Color and Best Costume Design, Color.

I have never seen Gone With The Wind i n its entirety. I may be the only classic movie fan who hasn't. You're not. I've only watched it once, when it had its network TV premiere back in the 1970s (over two nights). I didn't see all of it then, and I haven't watched it on its many airings on TCM sin...

I've never seen Home Alone . I have seen every best picture winner. I have seen 99.9% of theyshootpictures.com top 1000 movies of all time: https://theyshootpictures.com/gf1000_all1000films_table.php I have seen 260 out of 264 of Sight and Sound's top 250 movies of all time (there's a 22-way tie fo...

He played the U.S. President in one of my childhood guilty pleasures: Colossus: The Forbin Project

In his wrap-up for Noir Alley this evening, Eddie Muller mentioned that the month of April on TCM will be dedicated to a tribute to the 100th anniversary of Warner Brothers. So there will be no Noir Alley in April (as well as March due to 31 Days of Oscar). It sounds like the special programming ma...

I've also read in articles about this that Dahl himself changed passages in his works during his lifetime to revise things that he felt were no longer in touch with the times. I don't condone censorship, but as Holden points out, this is pure market pandering and absolutely capitalist. On that note...

This was predictable. They let Millie go a few days before Christmas 2022.

The pianist Grant Johannesen (1921-2005) was a great friend of mine. He knew and worked with Francis Poulenc. Here's Grant's performance of Poulenc's " Suite française." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhhcNbiyfco Have loved Poulenc's music since I was in high school. I played piano for a...
