There's a 35mm print of INCIDENT, I know that. I saw SHED NO TEARS at UCLA in a special screening. It's terrible, sad to say. Eagle-Lion... who knows where all those films are?Originally Posted by Raven

I locked the cats in another room.
If you put it that way, I'll fess up...I have lots of ''collector's copies'' Thank you, Eddie! I'll say bye, now. Best reagrds, and all that... Cindy
Cheers, CIndy! Nice chatting.
Good evening! I hope I'm not too late to ask a question. Do you know if there are any plans for TCM to have a month-long festival of noirs? They keep showing some excellent noirs, in fact The Prowler will debut in September, but they should have once in a while to have a whole month dedicated to noirs, preferably programmed by you. Perhaps even with some introductions recorded for prime-time films... Unfortunately, film noir festivals don't come down to Atlanta...
So Eddie have a good time at Noir City Chicago. Any Seattle appearances before our next Noir City? Also I'll be in San Francisco Oct. 1-3, I'll be in touch.
Oh dang wrong movie.
Hey what do you think of John Waters! I thought the pairing of Tab Hunter and Divine in Polyester was pure genius! Also Paul Bartell's Lust in the Dust! Abel Wood..what a name!
Ok then, good night Eddie, what a hoot this was! Cheers!

Eddie, I'm out of here too. See you in SF come January if the snows not too high in Durango!
Will there be a Noir City DC this year?
Before we wrap up tonight.... I would like to remind everyone reading that you can become a member of the Film Noir Foundation at the website. A small donation gets you membership (and a great, jam-packed newsletter)
Most of our regulars are already members but they need new members...
Eddie, anything you'd like to mention in closing?
Since many people have asked about this recently, I'll give some detail: TCM is fully aware of the Film Noir Foundation and Eddie Muller. It is not champing at the bit to have EM host a regular noir program; it is possible that EM will be part of a TCM film noir festival in the next couple of years. The gig I did in April with Bob Osborne was his own festival, not affiliated with TCM. (Bob is great btw!) THE PROWLER screening in September is using the restored version funded by the Film Noir Foundation -- but we have not been asked to participate because it was felt that it would confuse the issue, since the film is being used as part of a tribute to the UCLA Film & Television Archive. So I got kind of stuck there, politically. I couldn't say NO to our colleagues at UCLA, and TCM REALLY wanted THAT film as the centerpiece of the series ... but don't tape it! Wait till the DVD comes out with all the special features and audio commentary!
Its quarter to three,
There's no one in the place cept you and me
So set em up joe
I got a little story I think you oughtta know
Were drinking my friend
To the end of a brief episode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I know the routine
Put another nickel in that there machine
Im feeling so bad
Wont you make the music easy and sad
I could tell you a lot
But you gotta to be true to your code
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
Youd never know it
But buddy Im a kind of poet
And Ive got a lot of things I wanna say
And if Im gloomy, please listen to me
Till it's all, all talked away
Well, that's how it goes
And joe I know you're gettin anxious to close
So thanks for the cheer
I hope you didn't mind
My bending your ear
But this torch that I found
Its gotta be drowned
Or it soon might explode
So make it one for my baby
And one more for the road
I'm not doing Chicago. I'm working on a novel. Alan Rode and Foster Hirsch will handle the hosting duties. Stick in SF for the big Bouchercon World Mystery Conference -- crime fiction writers and readers from all over the world, October 14-18. I'm the emcee!
Yes. Schedule is being drawn up now.
Just that I'm proud to be part of what is a truly unique concept in restoring and preserving films, and that it is truly a grassroots effort. The corporation CANNOT do it, as amazing as that seems. It may not sound very noir, but: someone has to care for the orphans -- in this case the marginal movies that have slipped through the cracks. I'll get off the soapbox. Check out the FNF if you haven't. Thanks, Steve. Everyone should give a big hand -- or have another drink for -- the guy who does such a bang-up job -- out of pure enthusiasm and passion -- maintaining these great noir-centric sites. Kudos, brother!
Eddie: Thanks brother.
That's a wrap. Thanks everyone. It was fun (and we got some scoops!)

I enjoy and admire John very much. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him for a couple of hours in the back room of the aforementioned Tosca Cafe not that long ago. He is utterly charming and insanely bright and maybe the world's best storyteller.
I am envious. I agree, I am a huge fan of his work and him. He is just wickedly brilliant.
And thanks to both of you charming gentlemen, Steve-o and Eddie.
Thanks Eddie and Steve, that was a lot of fun!
