  1. He's great in King Rat, The Bridge at Remagen, Born to Win.
  2. The Big Lebowski Seven Beauties Raising Arizona Dr. Strangelove The Pink Panther After The Fox Trading Places The Odd Couple The Producers Wise Guys
  3. B*l*a*c*k*i*e's Place up in Canada, the "Great White North" den of iniquity in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me (1992)
  4. The Pavilion strip joint on the Jersey Shore in the adaptation of Jim Thompson's The Kill Off (1989)
  5. They only switch back to Black & White after color when the original tape of the show was missing or too damaged. They did have a backup 16 mm kinescope so that's why that happens. It's also used for the missing/damaged tapes of the Black & White period of the show also.
  6. Ah, think of Marv too in Sin City, I just watched The Wrestler yesterday, which is why I just grabbed not the best image for a comparison off the net, but there were shots in it where he resembled the Neanderthal, I'm not talking about Richard Boone, lol
  7. A bigger error than that.... He also directed Terror In The City (aka Pie In The Sky) (1964) Starring Lee Grant, Richard Bray, Sylvia Miles, and Roscoe Lee Browne, among others which I'd like to see. The story is about a runaway boy in New York City who is taken in by a prostitute (Grant). Seems to be a lost film.
  8. Which last show? The actual <spoilers>.... .... end of the Barnabas/Angelique storyline where Barnabas finally admits to loving Angelique (and then the original curse that Angelique cast causes her to die in his arms) or the reboot with Jonathan Frid playing a new character named Bramwel?
  9. Sort of a little like Mickey Rourke in The Wrestler
  10. Detecktive (1969) Two German amateur detectives on a case, minimalist, blah, and boring overall. The poster is more interesting than the film, lol. 5/10
  11. The film starring Vince Edwards, Chuck Edwards, Neville Brand with three titles....
  12. The 1840 storyline isn't too bad nor the parallel time one.
  13. That's the beauty of having the complete coffin set you can just hit the fast forward and zip through that stuff. I don't like the Adam storyline all that much or the Leviathans' or Jekyll and Hyde or Count Petofi so you can by pass most of it. I do like Angelique also so I'll all her sequences.
  14. No... You haven't seen the right 60s-70s Sexploitation Sex Comedy films. They were right on the edge of the then current obscenity laws which were rapidly evolving. In fact, some of these films were recut with inserts that added more explicit scenes as the laws changed, they were giving the grindhouse theater patrons what they wanted. But they never showed any real sex (unlike the real porno that followed). Even serious films like Martin Scorsese's Who's That Knocking at My Door (1967) had scenes shot and inserted by the producers to reflect the changing mores. Give the public what it wants. On a different track, these Sexploitation films can be beneficial to some extent for they show women's natural bodies as they were with all their imperfections and not the pneumatic cookie cutter barbie dolls that tended to dominate the mass media later on.
  15. "I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin."--Oscar Levant This may have been posted before but I'm not gonna comb through old posts...😎
  16. With the coffin set you can watch the whole entire show something like over 2,000 episodes. If we get on a Dark Shadows kick the wife and I will watch one disc straight through in about 3 hrs two weeks worth, while we are doing other things. You can fast forward the day before teaser before the title, and the end credits to zip it along. The first two hundred episodes were quite gothic, then the supernatural elements took off.
  17. I've been getting a kick recently exploring the transitional period between the end of the studio system combined with the end of the MPPC and how wild the independently produced films got, horror, thriller, exploitation, blaxploitation, sexploitation, etc., etc. The 60s is a decade that gets neglected, the product varies in quality, isn't as polished as the studio classics, and has rarely seen titles because of their anything goes nature. The very real threat of nuclear annihilation, (hell I remember doing the air raid drills in school hiding under our desks, as is that was sufficient to prevent vaporization, lol). This is what that classic mentality brought us too, and you know what, our generation said f-u to all that crap, call it a release from the idiots and the mentalities that got us to that point. No wonder we nuked open the Pandora's Box and if it felt good we did it, had free love, rocked out, smoked weed, made some of the most creative films and music dropped acid, not saying it all turned out great, but it's never going back to the uptight way it was before. So my favorite decades for film would be the , 50s, 60s, 70's, and 90's, then late 40s and 80s. I'm also finding more and more quality cable miniseries that are becoming quite competitive with film in quality, and even exceeding the theater format by being able to immerse the viewer in a more complex story than in the traditional format that is now seeming at times too streamlined.
  18. Oh, I don't know they actually may relate to Dark Shadows if you could get them to sit down and watch it.
  19. More... bottle courage take a powder mitts light me a pill (cigarette)
  20. One leg up to the knee. My other leg was on terra firma.
  21. I actually never ran into any in Montana but I actually ran into some here in NY. But I'm sure it's around anywhere you have flood channels. I'm a fishing guide so I'm in floodplains and river bottoms a lot. One day I trying to make my way to the edge of the river I'm weaving my way through the brush. It's slow going with a rod in hand. I come across a dry overflow channel its a dry gravel sandy bottom. Hey I'll just follow it to the river. I going along the generally "U" shaped trough. I'm getting closer to the river, I can hear it. I come to a little wider part of the trough it looks like the same sun baked dry sandy bottom I've been walking on. But it wasn't. Apparently it was a deeper hole gouged out by flood waters that had filled up with just enough sand mixed with water to hold it in a suspension. A suspension that was just thick enough that the top of it, exposed to the sun and air was completely dry looking so it matched perfectly the solid channel bottom I was hiking down. Luckily I just took one step into it and jumped back onto solid ground. So in the film in the bottom of a canyon that probably has occasional flash floods I could see the same scenario as I ran into.
  22. Roma (2018) entertaining enough, interesting location/sets, beautifully shot 7/10. Not something I'd watch again though.
