Curses, I missed this thread when maya55555 originally posted it back in March. I miss Robert Osborne more and more every time I watch TCM; I don’t dislike Ben Mankiewicz, but those new hosts (the ever-boorish Alec Baldwin, or that random hobo—I mean, David Letterman)… Oh, God, no. Osborne seemed a gentleman and a scholar, as indeed he was from everything I’ve read about him, and he truly knew and loved these films. I will always remember his sweet words on The Uninvited, a longtime favorite of mine as well, and how much he had longed for TCM to acquire it. When they did, they intended to screen it around Hallowe’en, but he persuaded the powers that be to screen it right after they acquired the rights, because he knew it was so good. Could Alec Baldwin (or, indeed, any “celebrity guest host”) have that kind of love for a picture? Does he truly love film as an art form? Oh, how I miss Robert Osborne… |

He died THIS year?? Why does it already seem like it happened SO long ago?? Probably, because he is missed just THAT much...... Funny, but reading the other posts here, it hit me how much everyone realized, and respected just how much this man loved film. And for whatever reason, it made me think of two others who also loved movies........Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert. Love or hate them, it was hard to argue that they didn't LOVE watching (and talking/writing about) movies.... Mr. Osborne, on the other hand, was a man who was difficult for ANYONE to hate....  SAVE FERRIS |

SAVE FERRIS He seemed exactly as he did onscreen, a nice old man to chat with about movies. |

Could Alec Baldwin have that kind of love for a picture? The only love Alex Baldwin has is for himself. Ben Mankiewicz does a fine job but Robert Osborn is irreplaceable. |

There's a relatively new girl with a unique accent. Idk if she's Australian or what but she is so long winded she basically tells you the movie's story. Shut. Up.
I watched The Yellow Rolls Royce yesterday and she introduced it. Bitch took 5 minutes.

I get it. It's cool. I'm straight but I think that Wendy's redhead was as cute as a button. |
