  1. No not really, I think remember Willie Loomis getting bit on the hand. lol But... on the other hand Roxanne Drew may have bitten same gender neck.
  2. As a Kid saw Godzilla, Mothra, and maybe one other but that's it. Don't ever have to see another, lol. TCM should yard sale all of them and buy the rights to Paramount films, no?
  3. No, I haven't seen any Batman or Superhero film except for probably a few seconds while switching channels. The only comic books I bought as a kid were usually Classics Illustrated. Then as a young adult a lot of head comix. 😎 Mantyhose wearing superheros don't appeal to me.
  4. A friend of mine also went here is his review: Taxi Driver plus The King of Comedy minus any semblance of subtlety plus an extra dose of heavy-handedness = Joker (2019) - 4/10 I could write an essay about how dumb this cute little movie is, but I don’t need to. Just don’t watch it.
  5. They should try and restore it a lot of the cast are still around to provide voice. David Selby, Kate Jackson Lara Parker, John Karlen, Nancy Barrett, Jim Storm, Christopher Pennock, Not sure about Diana Millay, or Monica Rich. Of course Grayson Hall and Thayer David would need voice doubles. I'd buy it.
  6. Supposedly I've heard that about 20-30 minutes were cut out of it.
  7. Which goes to show that in a another 20-30 years nobody will even realize that he was doing Wayne.
  8. It's right at the beginning, when he's talking on the CB radio even uses the word pilgrim. 😎
  9. I love the way Kurt Russell sort of does a John Wayne impersonation in it.
  10. This will be great, you can barely make out the trolley barn in the copy I own.
  11. Its got a nice denouement in a trolley barn. This was the first Noir where I really liked the Bridges character. He was playing pretty much heavies in most of the other stuff I've seen him in. In this one he's sort of likeable. 😎
  12. Funny thing is there was a lot of on location footage used comparatively to the show after Barnabas.
  13. This one is great until Lloyd Bridges leaves the film then it loses some steam. The copy I have is a multi generational AVI file. Hopefully this one will be a nice restored print. Don't remember if Muller said if it was or not. Anyway if you want country music in a Noir The Crooked Way has John Payne outside a Western Swing Bar.
  14. I agree with you on the electrical but not the mechanical You can fix pretty much everything on it with a 3/8, 7/16,1/2, 9/16, and 5/8 inch wrenches/sockets a Phillips and a regular screwdriver. That's it. I rebuilt the one in the photo twice. The first time when we babied it to home to Montana from Spokane Washington in 1986 it was ten years old had 79,000 on the odometer and had belonged to a doctor. It was originally a California vehicle. It was leaking oil out of the valve cover gasket. I pulled the motor stripped the block had it hot tanked at a machine shop and put in new rings and bearings drove it hard. So a hand full of 9 years later I got it up to 97 MPH the oil pump sort of crapped out and starved the rings so I had to do a second rebuilt. some of the pistons got screwed up so I had to drive to Spokane, Washington to check wrecking yards to see if I could find some pistons, I found some that came off a MG Midget MKIV they were using the same 1493b cc engine. So I rebuilt it again with a new oil pump pistons, rings, bearings this was sometime in 1996 so had it all rebuilt but was moving back to New York. Got a 24 U-haul truck put all the furniture and boxes etc., etc., into the front of the U-haul truck drove it to a loading dock with a ramp and drove the Triumph in with a bit of room to spare. Then we hitched a 16 ft trailer to the truck drove the Toyota 4 runner onto it and headed to New York. From 1996 until now it's pretty much been in storage. I'd take it out for a spin every couple pf weeks. Three or four miles into town and back at most from May to October so maybe 10 miles a month so 70-100 a year up until three years ago. So that's maybe 1900 miles on a rebuilt engine. The last three years haven't driven it started it a few times but that is it. Been working on it the last month, the battery was dead, the clutch master cylinder was froze the zenith-stromberg carb was leaking. So I ordered a carb kit a clutch kit a new sending unit for the gas tank. Rebuilt the carb and put it on. something was wrong it would idle but no power. Something was botched up. took off the dashpot cover unbolted the air valve and after a couple of wildass guesses figured out it was in the wrong way Turned it 180 and put it all together and now it purrs like a kitten and accelerates. Got the clutch master cylinder soaking in some stuff, we'll see if I can free it or have to buy a new unit. Still got to change the fuel tank sending unit.
  15. OK I don't know what Decades is showing for episodes but Alexandra Moltke who played Victoria Winters was on the show from episode 1 to 627 then another actress took over for a few weeks, then the character Victoria left the show with Peter Bradford never to return. The total episodes of the show went to 1245 so Victoria Winters left at roughly half way point. The first 200 episodes played more like a film noir with gothic undertones. They didn't start delving into the supernatural until the Laura Collins/Phoenix storyline, that was at episode 123. Barnabas shows up at episode 211. The show went all color on episode 295.
  16. mrs cigarjoe and her LBC 76 Spitfire 😎
  17. Ruby (1992) This really really could have been an interesting flick if it had really stuck to the facts or gone the other route and over the top burlesqued the whole story a la a James Ellroy novel. As is it's pretty tepid. Danny Aiello, Sherilyn Fenn and Film Noir vet Marc Lawrence. Watchable 6/10
  18. We already told you..... lol it's complicated.... She left with Peter Bradford when she returned to 1797 that was the last we saw of her character.
  19. No they were going to be married but his plane goes down in the Amazon. Then Vicky is at the seance they do to find out something (forgot what for sure but its probably to contact Sara, Barnabas's baby sister remember her singing London Bridge?) the candle goes out Vicky screams and when they get the lights on it's not Vicky it's another gal dead BTW, who Barnabas recognizes as Sara's governess from 1797. Vicky ends up back in 1797 in her place that starts the 1797 storyline.
  20. After Vicky leaves Maggie becomes the new governess. Maggie (Katherine Leigh Scott) plays different characters in later episodes, Something happens to Joe but I can't remember what.
  21. Julia' serum works for a while until Barnabas demands that she speed it up which causes Barnabas to look his real age. He bites her and goes back to normal. Then when they use Barnabas in the "Life Force" part of the Frankenstein Adam experiment he's not a Vampire as long as Adam stays alive. lol.
  22. You are not even close to the end. Lol. After Adam you got Quentin as Ghost, then you go back in time to Quentin in 1897, then The Hand of Count Petofi, and the full Count Pretofi, then parallel time 1970 then the Leviathan storyline then back in time to 1840 with another ghost and the head of Zachariah Judah I think he's called, then the final admission of Barnabas that he in fact loves Angelique after all which immediately causes her to die in his arms (Her spell on Barnabas caused anyone that Barnabas loved to die, remember, oops!). Then we get the death throws of the series with the Lottery Curse.
