    OT: Our "other" hobbies

    Like William P., I'm also into trains and transit (more so New Jersey than anywhere else), and I've probably "run into" him enough times on the nycsubway site's message boards. One type of cooking I seriously enjoy, but really don't get the opportunity to enjoy outside of a couple of...

    Sound in theatrical cartoons

    He used Western until sometime in the 1950s or early 60s, then went to RCA.

    Cartoons In Theaters

    One of you mentioned the Roger Rabbit shorts, I went out of my way to see both of those, not that the films accompanying them appealed to me (I definitely didn't care for Honey I Shrunk the Kids...) There was a time in the late 70s, at a drive-in theater (ain't too many of them anymore!) we...

    The TCM special day Friday (18)

    And now I know why... ...they're doing this. Boomerang is doing something called Looney Tunes in Hollywood which is basically all the pre-48 'toons featuring caricatures of past film legends, which Zedd reported on the Ticker page just before the piece on the TCM thing...

    Cartoon gags that don't work well on the small screen

    I was just thinking about that "sew" bit the other day when another TV list I read talked about the new CN bug. But honestly, where most of the situations described here can't/won't be fixed, apart from that one Tom41 mentioned in the RR 'toon, CN has every opportunity to fix theirs.

    The TCM special day Friday (18)

    As reported elsewhere on this site: http://forums.toonzone.net/showthread.php?t=113979&highlight=tcm Interesting synergy, and of course something TCM could do more often if WB, CN, and possibly some others would let them.

    Origin of Sound Effect

    I call this the "melt like butter" sound, because often that's what happens to a character when it's used. Somehow The Great Piggy Bank Robbery comes to mind...

    Classic Cartoons on Moviepix??

    Mpix is part of the "Movie Network" multiplex, available only in Canada. These guys' locations, like with any member, are on the right side of the grey bar at the top of each post, opposite where their avatar is.

    Official Looney Tunes Golden Collection Talkback

    Hate to bring this thread back to the forefront, esp. with folks hoping to get this for Christmas, but on an e-mail list I read (of which several members are also on the roster here), somebody is complaining that the '65 MM's on the G.C. have the '67 version of the (Bill Lava?) theme music...

    OT - what's your story for your user name?

    We used to have an elderly neighbor (Italian immigrant) on our street (he died in the early 80s IIRC) who called just about every man he knew "Chief".

    Cartoon SP@M

    I just got an unsolicited e-mail from a "Peter Hargrove" from Forest Hills in Queens, NY, apparently about a December-long classic-animation festival at a theater I've never heard of in Manhattan...Alphabet City, specifically. Anyone else get this? Is this guy legit?

    Favorite classic cartoon's music composer

    While Sharples has his highlights, on sheer volume alone it's tough to beat Stalling.
