@peterapeel.bsky.social well some people will be jelly because itβs not on the Watch TCM app. All I can say is that at least it was a fun watch with the #TCMParty crew. #TheLoveMachine
IKR? It's interesting. The reviews weren't kind but I didn't think it was Search For Tomorrow on downers. I hated that Pygar was knocking women like he was playing ping pong. #TCMParty #TheLoveMachine
How bad was #TheLoveMachine? Even with watching with #TCMParty peeps I am still thinking that is 2 hours that I will never get back.
Ok. I also remember the ending with Robin Stone walking down the street as the theme song plays. I need to see a doctor about this. π€

Judith held her own against three guys. A born scrapper.
That film was crap, but I did wanna see what happened the morning after.
It was Mrs. Grant in the Cocktail room with the Emmy....

This is a decent fight scene tho #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
The plot of #TheLoveMachine gives me an idea for the "Barbie" sequel. Ken becomes an amoral media star, and Barbie goes on a drunken bender as a result.

Robert Ryan's character is the best part in #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
Robert Ryan's character is back. Poor guy.
Hey, a title drop! π

The alternate title is Network of the Dolls #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
Ok. I also remember the "post fire" scene with Robin Stone (probably nude under that coat) standing around with the girls.
... boy was I a sick puppy. π€

I wonder if there was some sort of battle over alimony and child support between Cannon and Grant and she said that she'd do something horrible to embarrass him and so here we are. #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
According to IMDb, actor John Phillip Law was a last minute replacement for Brian Kelly ("Flipper"). Prior to filming Kelly was involved in a motorcycle accident which left his right arm and leg paralyzed.

Jerry is...eager...isn't he?
Simmer down, buddy.
I used to have curtains made of that B&W circle-in-square fabric! My mom had made them years before, and I appropriated them. The first time I washed them, they disintegrated, they were so sun-rotted. #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
Excellent point. Or an even more violent version of Bogie's "Dixon Steele" in "In a Lonely Place".

TCM hasn't aired "From Hell it Came" in a couple of years ... so we were due.

So they Jennifer-North'ed Amanda. #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
Judith (Dyan Cannon) isn't using her brain. Robin Stone is a nothing more than a "Ken" doll.
PS: I think Robert Ryan has wrapped up his filming for this. Lucky guy.

First time seeing #TheLoveMachine
The '70s were wild, y'all. All this double-crossing & sleaze.
And, overacting.
There's scenes, there's dialogue, people are talking and yet it is curiously missing something, what could it be? Oh yeah, a story! #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
... not after I rip out my eyeballs. Which I tempted to do.

So anyone know the Yiddish word "drek?" #TheLoveMachine #TCMParty
Sorry folks, but boy is this bad. IMO, #TheLoveMachine "attempts" to mimic the sleaze/camp factor of "Valley of the Dolls" - right down to hiring Warwick for the songs - but it comes across as 2nd rate.
Still, it is interesting to see TV staples of the era like Maureen Arthur.
