Re: Difficulty Accessing Site
Just to let the mods know.....I'm on a Mac and use Safari as my browser. Whenever I tried logging in between May 14-19, I'd be redirected to a site selling silver jewelry. When I press the "back button", it takes me there still. Can anyone explain what the heck is going on here? It happene...

Re: Laughton, Lorre & Friends on Monday, May 4th on TCM
Sorry to go so off topic here but...MST3K... Originally, the way MST came about was to make an entertaining show from films already owned by the local TV station. I think most, if not all were public domain films, which is why you often see educational or advertising shorts included. Another reason ...

Re: ,The Best Character Actors?
Someone mentioned my fave guy Charlie Ruggles. What about Roland Young? I love James Gleason (sometimes seen with wife Lucille) although he always seems to play the same type of charactor. Whereas Thomas Mitchell is very chameleon like, playing a wide variety of charactors. Eve Arden has been mentio...

Re: Carbine Williams (1952)
Good point about Hagen. The Lina Role is so incredible to me. Yeah, especially since I saw her in that role first . I had seen Asphalt Jungle numerous times and never realized she was the same person! :shock: Now, if I see her name in the credits I watch the film just to see her performance. Amazing!

Thanks Ollie for the heads up on those sets. Astoundingly I have every title you mentioned already in my complete Mystery Science Theater 3000 collection.

Re: Carnival Story (1954)
Thank you for posting that pic of Jay C Flippen!! I missed the beginning of this movie and there were no end credits. When I saw that face I went straight back to childhood. He must have been in some (many) sci-fi movie I saw as a kid. And Groppo (Ady Berber) was definitely thrown in as a Tor Johnso...

Re: Laughton, Lorre & Friends on Monday, May 4th on TCM
Or do the Best Buy routine - (snipped) Ultimate Sci Fi Colletion boxsets. And those were 5 films for $20 each, and sold quite well. I'm hoping you mean $20 for a set of 5 movies, not $20 each movie! My limit is now <$10 per DVD. I got way too sick of seeing a DVD I paid $15-20 ea for, show up later...

Re: Laughton, Lorre & Friends on Monday, May 4th on TCM
The Big Clock is one of my faves...but I always forget it by the title. Once I see Elsa Lanchester's name in the credits I realize, "this is the movie with the painting of the hands!" I've never seen Payment Deferred , glad it was the earliest broadcast, since I fall asleep later in the e...

Re: Carbine Williams (1952)
I own a completely different poster of this movie....but in all versions they really seem to focus on Stewart's big head. He must have been a big draw for the film. When I spotted these posters at a dealer's table, I yelled across the room like a banshee to the curator of the Jimmie Stewart Museum. ...

Re: Dana Andrews
A half sheet version of this hangs in my living room: http://www.moviegoods.com/Assets/product_images/1010/102196.1010.A.jpg I love Andrews in everything he's done, but especially enjoy him when he's "sensitive" or "troubled" like in Best Years of Our Lives . He has an unusual qu...

Re: Charlie's Loves
but here was man who didn't really know his father, you'd have thought he would have been a presence in their lives. Once Paulette encouraged them to be together I think the relationship was quite strong. This reinforces what I said earlier. Chaplin has no example of good relationships growing up, ...

Re: Charlie's Loves
Celebrities marrying look alikes is common....look at Mick & Bianca Jaggar and David & Angie Bowie. The topic of a creative genius's marriages and home life is of great interest to me too. I've been involved with people who are brilliant in their public careers and infantile in their persona...

Re: Members to be TCM Guest Programmers
Today's Saturday and I can catch up with everything I recorded. Lynn, I thought you were beautiful, no need to change anything with your beautiful hair. I also really liked your choice of clothes - it's always hard to know what looks good on TV. I can't imagine how scary it is to sit in that chair a...

Re: Members to be TCM Guest Programmers
Well I can tell you these "special guest programmers" evenings are a total success for us viewers! It is much more enjoyable to listen in to a friendly conversation between two film fans (one being pro ROsborne) discussing what they enjoy about a film, it's impact or meaning to your person...

Please don't forget to check out avgeeks.com site for compilations of vintage educational shorts. I have the ABombs, Fall Out & Nuclear War collection and it's a scream! Please support these guys, they have spent a lot of time and money to collect & transfer these almost lost films to DVD. (...
