Also, I really do need Warner Bros. to put their classic catalogue titles on streaming. Including their Warner Archive Collection titles. Come on, now, y'all can do it.

DON'T FORGET! TCM is showing several Loretta Young films tonight, including some unavailable on DVD, as well as both of her Oscar-nominated performances. (Come To The Stable at 11 PM EST and The Farmer's Daughter, for which she actually won the award, at 12:45 AM EST. Neither film is available on DVD and Come To The Stable also features Oscar-nominated performances by Elsa Lanchester and Celeste Holm.)

Little tidbit, but Loretta Lynn was named after Loretta Young. As she tells it, her mother wanted to name her after the prettiest star in Hollywood, and in her opinion, that was Loretta Young.

If you had a Blu-Ray player with apps, you could watch some of the hard-to-find YouTube movies on your TV.

I might put The Farmer's Daughter on there, since it's not on DVD and who wants to pay $30 or more for a USED tape?

Woo hoo! A Star is Born!

And I watched Queen Christina tonight. Loved it as always. Garbo is flawless.

I just finished A Star is Born. I laughed, and cried it was amazing. James Mason reminds me of an actor and I can't think of who right now. The end made me so sad. Judy was such an amazing actress and singer. In the scene where she was singing and dancing in their living room I was in awe with how she could just articulate with her eyes. I think I need more Judy in my life.

During Summer Under the Stars we will be listing 2 movies a week. Everyone has the option to watch one or the other, or both if they want.

I've got a couple of selection suggestions from SUTS:
Wednesday, AUGUST 15 • Lillian Gish
6:00 AM Broken Blossoms (’19)

Friday, AUGUST 17 • Katharine Hepburn
2:15 AM Morning Glory (’33) (She won her first Oscar for this film. It was only her third one!)

Sunday, AUGUST 26 • Gary Cooper
8:00 PM Ball of Fire (’41) (also Essentials Jr.) (Barbara Stanwyck was nominated for an Oscar for this one.)

Saturday, AUGUST 18 • Freddie Bartholomew
8:00 PM Captains Courageous (’37) (also The Essentials) (Spencer Tracy won an Oscar for this one.)

Altho y'all should watch them anyway whether they're selections or not imho.

Also, bought the Rock Hudson & Doris Day Romance Collection DVD set on Amazon used for about $10. Been through two of the movies so far, although I'd already seen Pillow Talk for the first time recently, albeit on a pan-and-scan VHS-to-DVD transfer, so to see the full Cinemascope frame for the first time was a revelation. (Especially since they even cropped the opening credits instead of stretching the frame to fill the TV like many pan-and-scan versions of widescreen movies do, so you miss all the fun action of them throwing around pillows on the side - not anymore!)

Pillow Talk is so much fun, tho. I might watch it again this week.
