It's that time of year again: Summer Under the Stars, where TCM chooses one actor or actress a day to highlight their career and play a hodgepodge of movies from throughout their lives. i love to sit on my couch and look at my big tv while having a huge collection of good to great movies parade across the silver screen. Schedule and interactive bios and crap available here: http://summer.tcm.com/ Days I'm personally looking forward to, just on name alone, I havent actually looked at schedules - Lon Chaney, Sidney Poitier, Barbara Stanwyck, Vanessa Redgrave, Ricardo Montalban, Cary Grant (duh), James Cagney, Elizabeth Taylor...and many more! Gotta love the Stars of the big screen.

I've only seen Lon Chaney in The Unknown but I assume every performance is as good as that one.

I'm not actually going to watch it to find out though yep, it was even on the poster. its also a bad movie because instead of the guy having an affair which is the entire plot of the play and also the title of the movie, its all just romance in his head

lol, looked at wiki In the 1970s Wilder called the movie "a nothing picture because the picture should be done today without censorship... Unless the husband, left alone in New York while the wife and kid are away for the summer, has an affair with that girl there’s nothing. But you couldn’t do that in those days, so I was just straitjacketed. It just didn’t come off one bit, and there’s nothing I can say about it except I wish I hadn’t made it. I wish I had the property now."

More than half of the Lon Chaney movies today are about him killing people in a circus, and the other ones are him playing as Chinese guys

Oh and the movie The Naked Jungle at 8PM EST also sounds awesome: "A cocoa grower (Charlton Heston), his mail-order bride (Eleanor Parker) and their Brazilian plantation are beset by miles of man-eating ants (1954)"

In the second scene Eleanor Parker is smiling and laughing with a little native boy and the boat handler says "You like? Take him with you! Is no problem!" And she says "Thank you!" and now he's her son.

A native just got ritualistically slaughtered by his tribe by stranding him on a 3 story palm leaf structure with a shield while a single guy ran around the base shooting him with blowdarts

Oh...the man eating ants are regular sized ants. There's just a billion of them.

Also the only time you see the ants is when Heston looks through binoculars and they show stock footage of ants with binocular rims framing the footage and he exclaims Dear God! They'll be here in 3 days!

Their big plan to stop the impending wave of ants was to dig a small moat around the plantation and when the ants arrived they hopped on little leaves en masse and floated across the 8 inch wide moat lmfao. This movie is awesome! And on the other side all the wage slave labor guys were futilely slapping the dirt with shovels trying to kill one billion ants, until their eyes started getting eaten out of their skulls

ive read the short story that movies based on, the dude tried lighting all the ants on fire nd drowning them, in the story th ants make it across the moat by making giant ant balls and floating across, drowning all the ants at the bottom, then the dude curses nature as he gets fuckin eaten alive
