odessasteps Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Sunday: I married a witch in the afternoon. Late night, 2 Japanese films that do not ring a bell: Cruel Gun Story and A Colt is my Passport. I’ll be at work, so should try and watch, as I bet they aren’t archived. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Both of those are Criterion Collection picks. I'm def gonna try to stay up long enough for both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 Cruel Gun Story was great, and reminded me of a combination of Thief and Heat, just done through a '50s noir lens. I don't think I can make it through A Colt Is My Passport but try hard if you can (if you don't have DVR), fellow film troopers. And again... TURN TO THE OTHER WAY~! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Both Japanese movies are surprisingly available on demand on the app for the week, for those who missed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Tomorrow morning/afternoon, 4 or 5 1930s Perry Mason movies, followed by 3 Dick Tracy pictures. Memorial Day weekend is, as you would expect, full of combat films of various conflicts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted May 29, 2018 Share Posted May 29, 2018 There is a shit ton of Boston Blackie and Bulldog Drummond stuff on tonight. Looks like TCM Underground has been put on ice for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Two Dr Moreau inspired pictures tonight Twilight People with a young Pam Grier Island of Lost Souls with Bela! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Twilight People was not too long ago with the Brando led Island of Dr. Moreau on TCM Underground. Time Bandits comes on early Sunday morning at 4AM EDT and Whatever Happened To Baby Jane comes on that afternoon at 5:30 PM EDT. The entire Man With No Name / Dollars trilogy is featured next Wednesday night (13 June) starting at 8PM EDT, but I'll probably be watching the Errol Flynn double feature (Captain Blood / Adventures of Robin Hood) that starts at 4PM EDT.

odessasteps Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 It feels like those Flynn movies are always in the rotation. I watched Captain Blood while I was in the hospital back in March. There was some Disney Vault stuff this week that is prob still part of the 7 day archive on the spp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never needed to own a copy of The Adventures of Robin Hood nor have I needed to download the TCM companion app because that movie comes on at least once a month and usually at a time when I can sit down and enjoy it. Now if only they'd show Kwaidan at a decent hour when humans are actually awake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try to only watch all the stuff on TCM I dont have already have on dvd/tape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 2 harold lloyd movies followed by 2 jean paul belmondo movies tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Neglected to mention it but Tokyo Drifter was just on and it was bangin'. One really wild bar brawl, some great torch singing and a finale with some really cool sets -- the whole film had some really cool sets actually, especially the bar that literally started falling apart amidst the rioting Japanese and off-duty American soldiers. Not your typical Yakuza film for the era, feels like something that would have come out later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I knew I shoulda called in sick today and then run to the store for ramen and chips... The times for all of these movies are EDT. 11:00 AM: ATTACK OF THE FIFTY FOOT WOMAN~! And then there is a SO HORRIBLE THAT IT IS AWESOME~! CHEESEFEST~! TRIPLE FEATURE~!! 12:15 PM: THE WASP WOMAN~! 1:30 PM: THE WILD, WILD PLANET~! 3:15 PM: FROM HELL IT CAME~! I haven't seen From Hell It Came since Dr. Madblood's Groovie Movies came on at obscene hours of a Saturday night when I stayed at my grandparen's house for the summers. You would remember From Hell It Came if you ever saw it. Leonard Maltin gave it a star and a half out of four with the caveat that it was one of the best movies he'd ever seen about a vengeful walking tree monster.

Curt McGirt Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 And it opens with a bloody human sacrifice! I recorded it off TNT when I was a kid and was totally "oh shit" when it started with that. I turned on The Wasp Woman right now (a Corman classic) and it is just literally closeup footage of bugs fighting each other haha EDIT: Whoops guess that was the filler they played after the movie which is only like an hour long anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I could conceivably make it home just in time to see From Hell It Came if my boss does not fuck around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 He Knows You're Alone (Tom Hanks' first film) and something called Slasher Film Debuts are gonna be the TCM Underground selections on Friday night/Saturday morning. Antonio Margheriti being one of the producers AND the director of The Wild Wild Planet means I'm not changing the channel now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hey, at least you didn't see The Eyes of Laura Mars was on and take a pass on it like an idiot, which I did this past weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 You didn't miss much. Laura Mars was a bit too clever for its own good with the red herrings and slight plot twist. I remember it being okay if not a bit cliché ridden. Faye Dunaway and Tommy Lee Jones do manage to perform small miracles with what little they had to work with.

Captain Kronos Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Since I started youtube.tv a few months back, with its unlimited DVR, I basically record 75% of what comes on TCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kronos Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Lili with Leslie Caron is scheduled for early tomorrow morning, 6/19. If you haven't seen it, I highly recommend. Anything with Caron is a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
