As I write this early on the morning of May 30, the full TCM schedule for June hasn't been released, missing the last three days. The TCM site only lets me go out through June 19. I know most channels don't go even that far out, but for TCM fans, loyal bunch that we are, it's somewhat distressing to see the deterioration in what I'd class as the customer service that people at TCM performed for the fans. I mean, these fans are the sort of people who will drop thousands to go to a TCM Film Festival or the TCM Cruise. Not that I can afford either in terms of money or time away from my elderly father who wouldn't be interested in doing such things (and, to be honest, I'm not interested in that sort of giant cruise ship either). But there are a lot of people who are, and who have looked forward to planning out the month's viewing weeks in advance.
Also, again, I'll repeat my mention that from the first 27 days of the month, there are several movies coming up that are on my DVR and where I had to reschedule other posts since I'm somewhere between three and four days ahead in terms of how far I've got posts scheduled here. So, as always, check the listings for the time that a movie is scheduled in case I've put up the post on the wrong day.
As for FXM, I've still got a couple of movies on the DVR that are in common rotation in the Retro block, notably the 1940s version of The Lodger and the surprisingly recent for the Retro block Lincoln. I also recorded Anastasia since a search of the blog suggests I hadn't done a post on it even though I watched it once ages ago. That one, somewhat surprisingly, doesn't seem to have gotten a second airing since I recorded it.
