Better late than never Dept. - Solaris [1972] on TCM

[Klaus]

...but in only 2 1/2 hours, at 2am EST. Just noticed it in case anyone is interested.

...you don't see the original version too often over here.

Missed it. Hell of a time to put it on. I have it on my zip.ca queue anyway. I saw the bonus disc a few weeks ago because they sent me that.

 

[Kelso]

Bah. That's what I get for sleeping.

Thank you, DVR! First Metropolis the other week, and now this.

Getting the time to watch them will be another story.

That's the 2nd week in a row they've run old SF at that early hour on Sunday night/Monday morning, but it may have been only a September thing -- I checked October and there's nothing genre in that spot next month.

Just checked the recording. Thank you, DVR, for splitting the recording in two with an uncertain amount of material missing from the break. Must have been the emergency broadcast signal or something. It does that sometimes. @#$%&

The more things change... back when horses and buggies ruled the streets we had to deal with VCR tapes running out because we set the wrong recording speed or the TV Plus (anyone remember THAT little gimmick?) screwing up the time.

I've been meaning to pick up the Criterion edition of Solaris, but now Criterion is slowly starting to put some of its stuff on Blu-ray I'm holding out for a BD edition before I invest the coin in a Criterion.
