First Grandstander post of 2013. What shall I talk about? I'll bet you thought it would be something about the Pirates! Maybe tomorrow, but first, a DVR Alert.
In perusing the Turner Classic Movie program guide for January, the pickings are slim, but here's a couple for the coming Friday, January 4:
1:45 PM (Eastern) - "Night and Day" (1946) This biopic of songwriter Cole Porter is not all that true to life (no mention of the fact that Porter was gay; a taboo topic in 1946), but you do get to watch Cary Grant, and you do get to hear some of those great Porter songs. They're the top!
11:00 PM - "The Incredible Shrinking Man" (1957) I am not a sci-fi guy, but this movie is the pick of the month of TCM host Ben Mankiewicz, and no less than Stephen Spielberg himself calls this "one of the best science fiction movies ever made." Hey, that's good enough for me to set the DVR.
Enjoy!
