George Pal

TCM is spending the next two nights in prime time honoring George Pal, the stop-motion animator-turned director responsible for such movies as The Time Machine (overnight tonight at 1:15 AM). Or, at least, TCM is honoring him in America; on the TCM boards, one of the the Canadian posters recommended a movie airing tonight that's not a George Pal movie. Poor Canadians.

There are a couple of things that I'm looking forward too, and I think I've finally freed up enough space on my DVR. First up is a documentary about Pal which kicks everything off tonight at 8:00 PM. And then a bunch of the Puppetoon shorts were cobbled together in the late 1980s for a movie, and that one is going to be running twice, tonight at 10:00 PM and then early Friday morning at 4:30 AM.
