Norvan - You seem a little confused. We’re simply discussing a movie called Black Moon that has nothing to do with Chief Black Moon as far as I know. It’s a surreal fantasy and doesn’t abuse any history, cultures or people. I highly suggest reading up more on the film at the TCM website listed above.

Hey Kimberly. Glad you finally got your cable hooked up. I don’t know what I would do without mine. I love TCM. They show such great films that I probably would never seen otherwise. Never really seen any Louis Malle films before. I am a big fan of Joe though. I’ll have to check Black Moon out at some point. Have a great weekend. Have fun with cable tv.

AR - It’s amazing how much TCM has improved! I last had access to Cable TV in the early 90s and it was nowhere near as good as it is now. I was really surprised that they showed Murmur of the Heart and Black Moon totally uncut with nudity and very adult themes intact. I was also happy to see that some of the old hosts from AMC are now at TCM. AMC is so awful now in comparison. I did notice that TCM plays silent films, which pretty amazing!

Andrew - Thanks for the feedback. I’m really looking forward to The Man From U.N.C.L.E.! I should also really invest in a DVD recorder myself. My VCR is dying and it’s pretty useless at the moment. I wish I had been able to record Black Moon. I recently got a new TV as well since my old tube TV died. Slowly but surely I’m stepping into the future!

Jeremy - You’re more than welcome! I really thought Black Moon was terrific. Like yourself, I tend to enjoy more unusual films that would probably leave a lot of people shaking their heads. It’s a shame that the movie isn’t available on DVD in the U.S. yet.

Hey Kimberly,
Thanks so much for the links. I appreciate it. I am glad you got your cable hooked up, and what a wonderful double feature you had to kick it off.
I am so glad to hear you enjoyed BLACK MOON, as i know it leaves some very cold. I love the film and was thrilled TCM played it and hopefully exposed some more people to it.
I agree that I wish Joe was in it more…I love Cathryn Harris…Tim Lucas described her as ‘the feral little sister of Catherine Deneuve and Francoise Dorleac” which I thought was pretty dead on. I also get a little Rainbeaux Smith vibe from her, which I love…
The ALICE IN WONDERLAND comparison is pretty perfect. Frankly I have been wanting to write more on this film but am a bit baffled as to how to do it…it really needs to be seen.
Great post and thanks again for the links…

Welcome to the wonderful world of TCM! Honestly, many months it`s the sole reason I keep the cable. They run many films that have yet to hit dvd (and probably never will in some cases), particularly of late with some stuff from the Columbia library. For a noir head like myself this is the stuff dreams are made of…TCM is also the reason I bought a dvd recorder. They`ve also been running a lot of those great B mystery series like The Lone Wolf, Boston Blackie, Crime Doctor, etc. November is “Series Month” and they`ll be rerunning many of these, as well as some others - including a MAN FROM UNCLE day(11/6), here`s a couple of the 8(!) films : THE SPY IN THE GREEN HAT and HOW TO STEAL THE WORLD.

AR - Yes, they do still have Silent Sundays, after midnight.

TCM is great. I used to try and catch their silent films on Sunday nights (do they still do that?) and they introduced me to the work of Bergman and Kurosawa. I’m so bummed my parents’ digital cable doesn’t carry it.
