Wonder if they'll run the whole thing? Its a short one and there can't be that many commercials at that hour. Yeah, they're guilty as hell, but they get points for running this one.

(-: As much as I enjoy collecting classic films on DVD, I also enjoy watching them on the air, knowing that hundreds, if not thousands, of other fans are watching them at the same time. AMC serves this purpose well. For those who want their classics uncut (yes, I do prefer this) there's TCM, Fox Movies, (many horror classics on both) MGM HD (that one commercial is annoying but at least they don't edit. They've run Hammer, AIP Poe, and even 1943s Revenge of the Zombies!!) Over the past year, HBO Signature, More Max & 5 Star Max have begun running classics from the 30s~50s in the early AM hours, including the Universal monster movies. In this 500 channel world, the films we love won't be disappearting any time soon! (-: David N

Jan 11 10 10:12 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I'm glad to hear amc (lower case intentional) got worse. They get no points from me for ANYTHING. I have eliminated it off my cable box. It's a child proof channel since I wouldn't want my children to view it's content. I would love it if Bob Dorian did an interview and was allowed to speak his mind on the current amc. I checked IMD to see if he was dead. I see he has a new film out.

Jan 12 10 3:08 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	yea, it's not what it used to be, but hey it still runs "Fear Fridays" . Though I am getting tired of Dracula(79) and The Beast Must Die. How about something different! *Humans are such easy prey!*

Jan 13 10 10:53 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I could live without seeing DRACULA 79 and THE BEAST MUST DIE again. I would rather die than to watch them on amc. Boycott it. You'll feel better in the morning. "Fear Fridays" indeed! I would fear all 7 days a week if I had to watch that channel. Yeah, like most board members here, I have to pay extra to get TCM, too. If we started a letter writing campaign to replace amc with TCM so that it will be in the lower tier of our video package I would write the first letter. I feel it is such a shame that some of the fine people on this board, due to the bad economy and other factors, are not able to get the only good channel out there. And yet dreck like amc is forced on us. This is why it is irksome to me when someone has something good to say about the current state of affairs at amc. Maybe if we all don't even tune it in it will go away. AMSCR (American Movie Semi Classics Ruined) would be a better name for the network.

Jan 16 10 6:44 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	HA! Loved the title of the thread. Just watched my vcr taped version of 'The Cat and the Canary' (1927) from the mid-nineties and remembered what it was like when AMC didn't have commercials (and played freking silents!). They're actually just a worse version of tbs now. At least tbs has variety.

I must admit to enjoying The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen the other day, but you're right; the commercials are many. I may try to record a good copy of "Colossal Beast" and then edit out the commercials.
