On TCM... but we are not getting these films

Post by radiotelefonia » Thu Sep 12, 2013 9:32 pm

It seems that TCM has made an arrangement with Isabel Sarli to show her films, even if I don't really like them. In their day they had censorship problems, but most of them are actually mediocre and overrated.

In any case, it seems that TV caps are from Latin America, which means that we have no access to these movies... although I would always prefer others from Argentina.

Heck, I was checking through the films that MOMA is showing next month for their Annual "To Preserve and Project". It has shown some great stuff in past years. In passing, I noticed titles from Japan, things which seem to be distinguished by rude titles. One was The Fucking Ants. I'd rather listen to a Yoko Ono singing about Robert Mapplethorpe than see something called The Fucking Ants. I'd rather look at every Mighty Mouse Cartoon. I'd rather listen to that woman who accompanied the Germaine Dulac show several years ago read from her paper about how Mme. Dulac was a lesbian and a woman and therefore very important to film.

95% of everything is crud, you know. It's only virtue is to show us how very good the really good stuff is.

I admit that I don't understand what this post is about, but this is a great sentence.

My original intention was to illustrate about some movies that are shown in another TCM that we are not getting here. :mrgreen:

The Brazilian TCM can be seen here (it is the same version for Latin America, except that they have to show one Brazilian film per day). The channel is available simultaneously in English, Portuguese and Spanish, but this version is only in Portuguese.
