So cool.   I'm reminded of the great Ann Richards quote.

Totally interested; I like that film too ( though don’t think it is the one
I would take to a desert island), and am interested in your thought on it.

[TV orNotTV] TCM Intro

2020-05-06 Thread 'Dave Sikula' via TVorNotTV
I've been told not to plug this on social media yet, but I think it's okay 
to mention it in here. I taped an intro with Alicia Malone for a movie on 
TCM this morning. The channel has the Backlot fan club (I'm the Bay Area 
chapter president) and asked members to submit a list of ten films they 
love and could talk about. I submitted mine and they picked me to intro 
1937's "Shall We Dance," with Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, which is my 
Desert Island Movie.

We were supposed to have taped in front of an audience at the TCM Festival 
last month, but, well ... (to quote Elaine Stritch on her dumping Ben 
Gazzara for Rock Hudson) "We know what a bum idea THAT turned out to be!" 
In spite of my desperate need for a haircut, we did the intro and the outro 
over an online feed. While the experience was actually quite pleasant, I'm 
hopeful I don't come off as too much of a boob. It'll probably end up being 
a total of about five minutes, so I won't look -too- bad.

The movie itself airs on Sunday the 17th at 2:00 pm ET/ 11:00 am PT. I'd 
planned on recording it off the screen, but they told me they'll send links 
once they're edited and ready to go. I can post them here if anyone is 
interested.
