TCM saved my life.

I am a graduate now. I have a degree. I also don't have a job. I want one. I really do. I want to start a career and live a long happy life. I want to make money, get married, have kids, and then own my own movie theater. However, I need to get that job first. I have been looking, but times are hard for someone as picky as me. All the jobs I want require experience that I don't have. It's bittersweet. I have kept myself busy in the time between looking for jobs.

Turner Classic Movies might be the greatest thing ever. I love the channel. I love the movies. Where else can you see such great stories without all the muck and mess that has polluted Hollywood now? Now, don't get me wrong. I love movies of today. I just feel like people try too hard. Back then it was so easy. You had all the basic elements you have today. They just managed to do it within an hour and a half. That is another problem I am having with movies of today. Why do they feel like they need to make the Godfather out of a Rom-Com? It makes no sense. You don't need to make movies that long when it can all be said in less time. Oh well.

They were pretty risque back in the day too. Sometimes it is hard to find, but it is there. Take for instance the movie Some Like It Hot. This movie had two guys running around in drag for a majority of the film. Strong undertones and probably one of the funniest movies of all time. Another movie I have watched recently is Bringing Up Baby. This was one of the first movies that recognized the word Gay as referencing something other than being happy. Look at all these movies. That was pretty bold if I must say so. So there is your controversy that people love.

Most of all, I just miss the elegance that came from Hollywood during those years. Celebrities were much more private. People weren't so obsessed as they are now. All this paparazzi madness is ridiculous. Maybe I am the crazy one and I wasn't there. How could I know what it was like? I like to think I am right though.

A guy can dream. In this dream, nothing is playing in theaters but movies like Harvey, The Philadelphia Story, Roman Holiday, Yankee Doodle Dandy, Some Like It Hot, Robin Hood(Errol Flynn not anyone else), etc.

I am just a sucker for the old stuff.
