Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

Another reason I like "like" buttons is that they can discourage excessively long posts at times when they may not be necessary. A "like" button allows one to express a simple opinion neatly and leanly wrapped up with a click of a button. But I realize Mantan Moreland would disag...

Re: Request for Like/Thank Button

I understand the need for, and uses of, a "like" button. Sometimes someone posts something that I agree with -- perhaps an opinion about a film, or something like that. A "like" button is a simple way of signifying agreement, rather than writing a post which might just say "...

Re: Top Ten Lon Chaney Jr Films

I've yet to see either Witchcraft (1964) or Spider Baby (1968). Once you see Spider Baby, you'll never forget it. (I once sang "Santa Baby" with Spider Baby parody lyrics on ukulele at a Christmas party-obviously smashed) I'm sure it was a "Merrye" Christmas, but I hope you didn...

Re: I Just Watched...

Who Killed Teddy Bear? (1965) Tubi-8/10 A discotheque hostess (Juliet Prowse) is terrorized by obscene phone calls. This is a sometimes sleazy, exploitative film but I love it. Sal Mineo plays the caller who is also a busboy in Prowse's disco, he is excellent. Elaine Stritch is Prowse's lesbian bos...

Re: I Just Watched...

I'm resurrecting my very popular I Just Watched... thread from the old TCM site. Despite being under the "Movies and Features on TCM" section of this forum, I want to make it clear that this thread is intended to be a casual discussion of anything that people have watched recently. The mo...

Re: Sight and Sound 2022 Goes Pretentious

There's been a trend with these sorts of lists over the past decade to become more and more contentious and outrageous with their selections in order to drive clicks/subscriptions/etc. It's glaringly apparent, and while something like Jeanne Dielman has been lauded for decades, placing it at number...

Re: TCM announces it is sunsetting the TCM Forums

The last post was by scsu1975, at around 10:10am EST in LawrenceA's topic "Redeem Days Won" , under "Problems with the Message Boards" I think it is totally appropriate that Tor Johnson's agent had the last word! https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/2f/PlanNine_10.jpg
