    Visitor, The (1979) PREMIERE as per NPG

    A young girl with telekinetic powers becomes the center of a battle between good and evil.

    DirMichael J Paradise CastMel Ferrer , Glenn Ford , Lance Henriksen .

    "The film has been called a rip-off of Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and Damien: Omen II, because the film revolves around a dispute between extraterrestrials from heaven and demonic forces."

    Tentacles (1977)

    A giant octopus attacks a seaside resort.

    DirOvidio G Assonitis CastShelley Winters , Henry Fonda , Bo Hopkins , John Huston

    "there are some quality actors involved--Huston, Fonda, Hopkins, and Shelley Winters have all done fantastic work in other films, and two, there are a couple moments where the incompetence achieves a level of sublime ridiculousness so that Tentacles becomes "so bad it's good"

    -in reference to one of his earlier roles, in what film is Cagney called upon to promote grapefruit, complete with a song composed by Warren and Dubin called "Grapefruit Acres" which can be heard on the radio during the film ?

  3. quoting TB:

    "transferring threads over to blogs, so that means they will continue in an area where I can approve other's comments..... Again, I want the data to be available but I retain authority on the types of comments that others post to it."

     

    "retain authority on the types of comments that others post"

  5. you're right, that was a BIG ooops on my part :o

    was indeed going for '69 version, which I thought was hilarious....never saw the newer one.

    got them confused somehow when looking for quotes

  6. Ira Gershwin wrote the lyrics to a melody by his brother George that, unfortunately, did not get heard in the film for which it had been composed.  Only the melody was used.  After George died and several years later, the lyrics got to be heard at last when they were set to a new melody by Jerome Kern for another film.

     

    Name the song.  Additional points, for what it's worth, if you can name the 2 movies involved.

    any hints?
