Re: I Just Watched...

Omg Sandra Dee's mother, is a complete b!tch, zero sympathetic qualities, even alcoholic Arthur Kennedy is more sympathetic than her. I mentioned it on the TCM boards back in the day, but Constance Ford and Arthur Kennedy (the jilted parents in A Summer Place ) wind up romantically involved in the ...

That’s at least culturally relevant. Cab Calloways home movie? :/
There's a reason the Zapruder film is on the National Film Registry, too.

The Egg and I

I listen to podcasts of the various English services of what were the old foreign broadcasters on shortwave, which have almost entirely moved to the internet, but that's not important right now. Recently, I was listening to Radio Prague's English service, and they aired a 10-minute piece on the endu...

Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso

Today marks the birth anniversary of Mexican born actor Luis Antonio Dámaso de Alonso, who was born December 11, 1905. OK, you probably don't recognize that name, because he used a stage name under which he's much more recognizable to fans around here: https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

It's comforting to see the name with same avatar picture. Extra cool to see Speedy's original avatar. Lawrence is the only one I can pick out with changed avatars because he did it "there". Great to see you "at the party" Lawrence, you were sometimes pretty quiet over at TCM. As...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

Were you the guy who had Charles Coburn as your avatar? I always loved that look of disgusted contempt on his face there. Apologies for the poor formatting. I'm still learning how this site works, and the current quoting function is a mess for me. Yeah, that was me, and my profile referred to me as...

Re: I Just Watched...

Buddy the Gee-Man (1935) Looney Tunes cartoon from before the characters we all remember. This one has Buddy, a character who apparently appeared in two dozen one-reelers, with this being the final one. It's a fairly poor effort with Buddy being asked to investigate the conditions at Sing Song pris...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

No, I was Sukhov. The deleted comment was something I said in the “TCM message board replacement” thread which was pruned. I see that the thread was moved to Off Topic and several posts have been deleted. It now says that the thread is closed for comment, although other threads remain alive. Very d...
