Members Faulkner Posted March 30, 2020 Members Share Posted March 30, 2020 I like that. 1993 was a great year for soaps (the last one) and other genres and media as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members I Am A Swede Posted September 18, 2021 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2021 70 years ago this masterpiece had its premiere. I guess Marlon Brando is what most people remember, but for me this movie belongs to Vivien Leigh. I think she gives one of the best performances ever caught on the silver screen.....

Members Bright Eyes Posted November 13, 2021 Members Share Posted November 13, 2021 https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-reviews/critics-conversation-nina-mae-mckinney-1235044856/ Just read this THR article highlighting the career of black actress Nina Mae McKinney, whose career during the first few decades of sound film, should have been more successful than it was. This story itself is unfortunately common, but of one particular standout to me was how NMM was referred to as the "black Greta Garbo," similar to how Viola Davis has been referred to as the "black Meryl Streep." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DramatistDreamer Posted February 24, 2022 Members Share Posted February 24, 2022 When Coppola talked about how low a value Paramount placed on The Godfather, that the was a failure to properly preserve that film's negatives, it just made me think that if a company like Paramount can express such disregard for a big film studio production, think of how the likes of corporate-minded P&G must really place an utterly low value on its vintage soap operas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted November 22, 2022 Members Share Posted November 22, 2022 Moving my recent 'movie thread' creation to this thread instead, because I forgot it existed. I watched Diamond Head (1962) the other night starring Charlton Heston in the lead. It's a film about him opposing his sister marrying a Hawaii'an because of his prejudices. I ended up enjoying it because, for one, it was very soapy, and I think knowing Heston's conservative views I kept waiting for the ball to drop on his more open-minded sister, played by Yvette Mimieux, whereby she would go crazy or see the error of her ways, but was pleasantly surprised by the ultimate outcome in terms of the films messaging. Shamefully, I didn't even realize Aline McMahon was playing the mother of the Hawaii'an brothers, but to my testament the image of her I have in my mind is of her from golden age films like Gold Diggers of 1933, but when I did realize it took a minute to wrap my head around for obvious reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted June 21, 2023 Members Share Posted June 21, 2023 Oy. I cut the cord, partially because my cable operator (Spectrum) didn’t offer TCM on anything but the highest tiers. Now comes news that Zaslav is gutting the network: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 21, 2023 Members Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) It was such horrifying yet typical Zaslav/WBD news. The Indiewire article at least is encouraging in that Spielberg, Scorsese, etc. are putting pressure on the company over this move. I know @DRW50 will want to know too. I also left TCM behind for the Criterion Channel when I cut the cord but I adore the network and always will. My family does too. Whenever I am home with the family or do have access to TCM again though, I've always done this just like Scorsese: Now trending: #SaveTCM Edited June 21, 2023 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
