Turner Classic Movies Kicks Some Ass.
Last night TCM premiered the wonderful documentary Martin Scorsese Presents, Val Lewton: The Man in the Shadows, followed by a Lewton marathon that was on too late for my having to work the next morning self. Tonight, TCM is playing Hal Ashby’s first film The Landlord, unseen by me, and many of my generation, because it has not been issued on DVD and is relatively hard to get a hold of on VHS.
To commemorate Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, TCM is having a Charles Burnett marathon on Monday, January 21, kicking off with the just released supposed (I would know for myself if the damn thing would ever move beyond “Very Long Wait” on my queue) 1977 masterpiece Killer of Sheep at 8 pm.
I’ll be there. Will you?
