Yes, R8, I gather they show movies, especially the films of their celebrity guests who do Q & As about them. And I think there are entertainers aboard also, akin to ‘talent’ one might see on other cruises. And the usual buffets and dinners.

All the hosts/moderators on TCM go on this thing every year and I wonder if they find it fun or dread it like a case of plague?

Bob Mackie told me a story of when he went on one. Dave Karger from TCM was doing a Q & A with him and a fan in the audience brought up a dead pet squirrel that they had had stuffed.

Wearing a miniature version of the Carol Burnett “Went With the Wind” dress.

And asked Bob to sign it.

This is the kind of people you’ll be spending time in an enclosed space with.

Standard inside cabin: 5 days starting - STARTING - at $2445. For five days. On the lowest deck. That's almost $500 per person per day.

Which is outrageously expensive.

it's not my cup of tea, but the people who do it seem to have fun. I met this couple who go on these cruises with the band Kiss as celebrity guest/hosts (however you want to call it) and they'e done it so many times, Peter Chriss (I think) knows them by name. That's weird. The TCM cruise is kind of dorky, but at least fun dorky. Hanging out on the pool deck with. Gene Simmons is just sad.

I took an MTM cruise.

So boring it made my head hurt. Bad.

by Anonymousreply 48October 18, 2024 4:15 AM

I went in 2016 (right after the election).

I had never been on a cruise before and at first I was like what have I gotten myself into. I was like 40 years younger than everyone else.

The stars were Kim Novack, Leslie Caron, Jerry Lewis, Michael York, Dick Cavett, Lucie Arnaz (who did her nightclub act) and Alex Trebek who hosted trivia games. Ben and Illeana Douglas were the hosts.

Novack was quite interesting talking about Hitchcock and her bipolar disorder. The moment the suckered me in and made me glad I went was when Novack presented Vertigo. She did an interview with Ben and then after they stood up to leave she went center stage and got kind of emotional. She said I hope you love the picture. That's all we wanted-was for you to love it. Then she started stammering and crying a bit and saying that's all she ever wanted was to be loved. It's what Jimmy Stewart wanted. It was what Hitchcock wanted. Then she was sort of just standing there awkwardly grasping for what to say. A guy in the audience yelled we love you Kim. That satisfied her and she left the stage with Ben and the film started.

It kind of was such a nice moment it melted my cynical why am I here heart.

That's a sweet story, R49; in this day & age when lots of people stand in line to hear some demented old perv ranting on about hate, it's sweet to hear stories about people finding a community over something they love, not in a weird obsessive way like those Cosplay conventions, but an appreciation of the artistry.

And she's there for Carnal Knowledge? Where she has one scene at the very end as a whore going down on Jack Nicholson? And then she's got the brass balls to complain about her days as a starlet being stereotyped in the 50s when she was making movies like Singing in the Rain and The King and I?

They couldn't have Ann-Margret or Candice Bergen? Or they were like I can afford to go on a cruise if I want to thank you very much without having to sing for my supper.

Huge admirer of TCM and all of their presenters (especially Alicia Malone and Eddie Muller).

I understand why they try to sell some branded content, but I speed through the TCM Wine Club advertisements and often the book promotions, too. I will say the wine ads have improved since the time they featured a British wine “curator” who explained some of their selections. She was pretty awful, so wooden and pretentious.

I’ll never forgive Rita Moreno for trashing Natalie Wood on TCM while rehashing that bullshit about how Rita should have been seriously considered as Maria in “West Side Story”. She hated the idea that Jerry Robbins and Robert Wise loved Natalie.

It was a threeway Zoom conversation with Russ Tamblin and George Chakiris with Ben Mankiewicz and they weren’t having it, cut Rita off and talked about how great Natalie was.
