The Silver Screen Oasis

They had at least three different spammers on there as well yesterday.:? Looks like all those posts were removed. Don't know if I was the only one to contact TCMWebAdmin about the 'spam', but I did send emails alerting them to the posts and then noticed that those posts (including the evangelical s...

It doesn't get much plainer than that.

I thought if I decided to enter, I could do my impressions of Doris Day... [snip] ...Owl Jolson from I Love to Singa , and Yogi Bear. But, then again, I think people would laugh at me. I thought it was "Sue Sue". Or is it "Boo Boo"? http://plasticage.net/gallery/albums/userpics/...

Also, to be able to program an evening makes the whole contest more enticing! I'd love to program the night, but would dread being on the camera side of the action. Maybe I could have a stand-in? Body double? Mr. Rubini - While sitting next to Robert Osborne may be reward enough for some people, I ...

To Finnie & Rubini - Thanks for the compliments. I am, as always, flattered anyone finds my flights of fancy amusing - especially coming from the likes of the two of you. I hope some entrants film their auditions in B&W. But I would also be quite impressed if someone creatively inserted a re...

jondaris - Wow they aren't giving us long, are they? So, does that mean you are planning on entering? I was hoping a few other folks were going to volunteer up their intentions about entering the contest. It is a rather "odd" audition process. Entrants are asked to tell in 3 minutes why th...

OK, all you fans and fanatics who want to sit next to Robert Osborne.

It is my feeling that this sort of thing is not illustrative of particularly constructive discussion. After all, we have moved on...and it's time to focus on the positive rather than dwelling on the negative So - Is there any way we could move past this and get on with things? ... I have found that...

Kyle, with your reasoning, TCM should certainly look into hiring you as a Co-host for The Essentials. It would certainly be better than listening to Osborne and Fisher giving their somewhat lacking explanations! They don't seem to actually enjoy the movies they're telling us to watch. Weird. Hi sug...

pktrekgirl - I am very impressed with all the work you 've done around here. From Christy's "Sue Sue" to the depixilated BobHopeFan avatar. You are quite the talent. And I enjoyed our group effort very much. Hopefully we can work together again! (I have a large collection of stills and pro...
