Star Choice in Canada has just added Turner Classic Movies to its
lineup. All the great MGM and Columbia movies all with no commercials
or interruptions. Even silent movies from the 20s and lesser known ones
from the 30s and 40s. It lets me see the movies of the period that I
missed because I was busy doing other stuff. It is interesting to see
the technology of the times that was used in the making of a movies as
well as the values and customs of the period. For example, in Pillow
Talk with Doris Day and Rock Hudson, the main theme of the story was
how the 30-year-old Doris protected her virginity from the lecherous
Rock Hudson. ( We all know now she had nothing to fear) . The kids of
today have no idea what the plot is about, since the concept is unknown
to them and the movie doesnt make much sense. Hollwood tends to remake
old movies for each generation: sometimes the remakes are good but
often they are inferior to the original. For example. there are three
versions of State Fair and the 1945 version with Jeanne Crain and Dick
Haymes is the most charming. the 1933 version with Will Rogers and
Janet Gaynor the best tale of life in the 30s, and the 1962 versio with
Pat Boone and Ann-Margaret was just awful. Having lived through much of
these periods, I find it interesting to reflect on all the changes that
have taken place in one lifetime and it helps me to not be stuck in the
past clinging to obsolete mores, although I find the fact that the
actors are nearly all dead to be a little discouraging. For Canadians
with Star Choice, Turner Classics are free for this month: channel 539.

Here in Jackson,Mississippi,Turner Classic Movies sure does have
commercials in the movie programs,they have to make some money somehow
or the other.Whether you subscribe to cable or satellite tv here in my
area,those commercials are there,but that is ok.A few days ago,I watched
a Little Annie Roonie movie on tv,it was a silent movie (I like them old
silent movies) and if I remember,the movie dates back to the year 1925.I
am thinking about buying myself a new flat screen CRT RCA tv Radio
set,at least about a 27 inch screen size or larger.Seems to me the flat
screen tv sets,the pictures on them in the stores do look better to me
than the curved screen CRT tv sets.

Good old Doris Day (such a sweetie pie she was) didn't have to worry to
much about protecting her virginity (virginity,uh huh,,, sure) from Rock
Hudson because I once read in a magazine about forty years ago that Rock
Hudson was gay.I have an old Popular Science magazine somewhere around
here (I am not neat and tidy,I admit the inside of my house looks like
h.ll with so much dusty old junk) which dates back to the 1950's.Title
of the article in that article is,Rock is ready to Ride.Rock Hudson had
done bought a big new Horch convertible (Horch,spelling,Horch or
Hortch?) German auto manufacturer,wayyyy back then) Automobile to
"sport" around in.3:10 To Yuma movie is just now cranking up on my tv
Radio set.
