« on: August 20, 2008, 12:08:00 AM »
...starring our beloved Grayson Hall is airing EST on Turner Classic Movies at 12:30 A.M. Thursday night/Friday morning

I just recently started to get into Old Hollywood movies and I love that channel.  Unfotunately, they took it off my cable.  :(  I haven't seen this one yet!! I am bummed.

Old Man Karlen doesn't have TCM either. I have been taping movies for him for years. You know what are his faves? The Thin Man series. He doesn't like war movies or horror movies. He likes murder mysteries. Charlie Chan, Sherlock Holmes. His absolute favorites, above all, are Laurel and Hardy. Ha! Bet you didn't know that, did you?

The movie was also on a few months ago, and I missed it then due to an urgent need to be somewhere... where that somewhere was, I don't remember, though. Sadly, we dropped our TV service a month or two ago (TCM is one of the few channels I miss, as well), so this is one I'll be Netflixing, if they have it.

It's great to know that there are youngsters such as yourself Goober who appreciate old Hollywood movies. Maybe the world isn't doomed after all.  I am 30 and just recently began to get an interested in them thanks to the lovely Rose McGowan.  I wish I had years ago as I have A LOT of catching up to do.

Thanks, Janet!  I'm sure that's one scary iguana!   Radioactive I'm guessing, and Grayson has to irradiate herself to hundreds of feet tall to battle it?   No wonder she was nominated for an Oscar!   I guess plots before seeing the movie, it's a gift...

Last time I was in limbo, I felt an urgent need to be someplace.   Last time I Netflixed I broke my pelvis in three places.   I found I was able to play the violin though, which I'd never been able to do before.

That would have made an excellent DS storyline, Magnus.  [ghost_happy] And yes, Netflixing can be quite hard on the body sometimes. I still have a concussion from the last time I Netflixed a movie. [ghost_wacko]

In all seriousness, though, I'm popping it into my Queue.

And thanks, Taeylor.

They do have it!  That's how I saw it originally, about a year ago.

No, I'm not related to JK. Just fell into a friendship with him, although he reminds me of my papa very much in some ways.

Well that is cool.  I have often dreamed of becoming friends with a DS star.  Good for you and your wickedness Janet! [devil]

that's cool.    please relay to him that he was my first "hero", from watching Dark Shadows. ( guess you could tell from my handle and pic, eh?)    (and he should have been put together with MAGGIE, fergodssakes!)   and i also enjoyed him in cagney and lacey, trilogy of terror and daughters of darkness!    always wanted to meet him to tell him that, but haven't so far!

I hope you're getting a copy of the Laurel & Hardy festival of shorts on TCM today. If not let me know. I am.

I just saw Night of the Iguana this past Wednesday after a tiring day of teaching junior high students.  Grayson is beautiful.  She played the part well and had her bravado about her as usual.  Netflix works great for me.  I am currently watchiing The Devil's Daughter with my beloved Jonathan and I am sad he does not seem to have a speaking part.  The movie is not over yet but he sure looks good!!!  His facial expressions though are WONDERFUL!!  I hope he speaks..i have never seen this and i had to wait forver to get it on Netflix.  My queue said it had a very long wait.  I'll see how it ends.
