Isn't this the guy who spoiled the movies he was about to show? What a jerk.

RIP

TCM is the only channel worth watching on American television

Damn that sucks, you always knew you were about to watch something good when you heard that guy's voice.

literally who

>>80133033
PBS has some great stuff from time to time.

Congrats to Ben Mankiewicz who will undeniably get the call-up.

I guarantee you most of the plebs and shitposters on this board will have to look up who this is.

>>80132983
Damn I'll miss this guy. I hate that Ben Mankiewicz jewfaggot.

never watched much TCM because no cable for the past 5 years but this guy is a legend and I know my pap-pap is catching some serious feels over his passing

FUCK YOU! I THOUGHT THAT WAS ROBERT MORSE!

i remember i used to do an impression of this guy when i was a kid to make my mom laugh. she loved the dude. now he is in heaven with her bros

I grew up watching TCM.

>>80133318
Literally why?

I saw Robert and a white old man. It looked like Robert Morse

And? Sorry we can't be all so sophisticated like you, prick.

>>80133613

I believe the point he was trying to make is that Robert Osborne is about as entry level (not in a bad way) as a film historian gets and the fact that people on the television and film board don't know about him just goes to show why there is basically zero actual film discussion on this board. Most of the userbase doesn't know their ass from a hole in the ground when it comes to film and just comes here to shitpost.

>>80133754

Literally pretty pictures that you look at to pass the time. There is nothing to discuss.

The best thing about this guy was his love of the process of movie making.
He wasn't some fuckface critic like ebert.
He just simply loved the magic of movies.

You're dumb. Ebert was a great promoter of cinema besides being a very good writer.

Ebert was a hack and he got his shit pushed in weekly by Gene Siskel. You would know this if you weren't twelve. He was also a failed screenwriter that made one of the biggest pieces of shit in cinematic history then got laughed out of the business. Go back to film 101 at the "University" of Phoenix and try to learn something.

Literally fucking who?
Can you name me one (1) film/movie he played in?

I really don't want to sell my left nut to watch classic movies.

>>80136753

I'm really considering setting up a Plex server for /tv/ that only shows great classic films 24 hours a day. Do you think that would be possible, or would I have to use some sort of other server because the load would be so high?

I don't know who he was and I don't care to know. Let this thread sink into obscurity like this dead fool.

>>80136703
No, not for that. The reason is because you're just someone stupid shitposting on the thread for no good reason.

Arguable once and completely wrong once. Now please remove yourself from the thread.

>>80132983
There was always something comfy about seeing him appear on your screen. He really loved cinema and he loved sharing his joy for the industry with everyone.

>>80134480

I'm sure this whole coming weekend will be nothing but a tribute to him.

>>80137482
It's sad you believe you're actually doing something worthwhile shitposting. You never 'proved' anything, nor could because you just have nothing except some stupid grudge against Ebert.
Why does someone like you have to come into a decent thread and try to make it bad?

>>80137611

You're the one that came in here and sucked Ebert's jawless dick you fucking idiot. You're the one that shit up the thread. Again you are wrong and a complete imbecile. Go cry somewhere else because I'm done with you.

Also, /veddit/, for future reference, talking about the thread subject and telling an idiot he's an idiot isn't "shitposting".

This is such a beautiful promo. It brings me back to when I was ten or eleven and I would be obsessed with TCM (since I have Asperger's Syndrome). Alas, where I live now with my parents, I am not able to watch TCM anymore due to us having Dish (more money for more channels you probably wouldn't watch anyway just to have TCM - how sad). Plus, I'm the only one in my household interested in classic and foreign film. Listening to this brings me back to a time of childhood innocence and now, at age 21 as an aspiring actor/writer with an Associate's Degree in Theatre Arts pursuing a career in the arts regardless of what most people say, makes me feel hopeful in what I can accomplish through my personal, professional, and artistic life. Thanks TCM!

>>80137753
Sorry about your gramps anon. Grandparent's deaths are the worst.

Was he based?

>>80138436
More than I can say.
Imma miss him alot.

I guess? I mean, they advertise what they are going to show in the month, try to get you to join a wine and cheese club, and try to upsell you their branded DVDs, but no outside ads

Where the S T I C K Y at?

Literally who outside US, so he's gonna get a sticky.

Promos between movies, but no outside ads. Plus they don't edit the films, so yes, based as hell.

OOoOooooOoO To STICKY, or not to STICKY, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
the heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
that Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,
To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub,
for in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
when we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
must give us pause. There's the respect
that makes Calamity of so long life:
For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,
the Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely, [F: poor]
the pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay, [F: disprized]
the insolence of Office, and the spurns
that patient merit of the unworthy takes,
when he himself might his Quietus make
with a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear, [F: these Fardels]
to grunt and sweat under a weary life,
but that the dread of something after death,
the undiscovered country, from whose bourn
no traveller returns, puzzles the will,
and makes us rather bear those ills we have,
than fly to others that we know not of.
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
and thus the native hue of Resolution
Is sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment, [F: pith]
with this regard their Currents turn awry, [F: away]
And lose the name of Action. Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy Orisons
Be all my sins remember'd

OoooOoOO I am the ghost of Peter O' Toole forever to wander the threads of /tv/ in search of my sticky OoOOooOooo
*lament*

>>80142662
holy fuck

I usually only watch TCM when they're showing westerns, war movies or foreign films but I've always respected at how they never censor the movies or edit them for time and no commercial bullshit. I always thought Osborne was a good guy for me. RIP

>>80142662
:^)

end of an era for the classic movie lover

sticky when?

Robert Osborne was just one of those faces and voices that always soothed me if I saw him on screen. You could always see his passion for cinema in his introductions.

He will be missed.

Honestly, I didn't like Ben until I saw him on TYT. I was bummed when he would fill in for Bob Osborne and when he and the other Ben took over for Ebert and Roeper they made a mess of it. TYT sucks now but it was a fun laid back show back in the day.
