  1. Here's a dvd documentary of Brando - narrated by Marlon himself. Charting his exceptional career as an actor as well as his life away from the stage and screen, this documentary explores the complexities of the man by telling the story uniquely from Brando's perspective, entirely in his own voice. Someone apparently called it "a masterpiece" http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4145178/reference
  2. That was a made for cable movie. They are different from the original made-for-tv movies. Much different content standards.
  3. Accepted by who? You? Certainly not by the homosexual community.
  4. I've heard some homosexual organizations measure it at 10 - 15 percent. Still lots not out yet, apparently. With all the young women now finding it stylish to lz out, I wouldn't be surprised if it was up even higher.
  5. 'The Old Man Who Cried Wolf' (1970) Edward G. Robinson, Diane Baker, Ruth Roman, Martin Balsam, Edward Asner, Sam Jaffe.
  6. I want it to come out so we'll be that much closer to October. The autumn months seem usually to be my favorites.
  7. Hooper was not a surfer boy in the novel. He was a seriously obsessed scientist. There was nothing funny about him. All the characters in the novel were much more intriguing than those in the movie. The novel was serious and scary. The movie was a comedy - it was decided to make Hooper silly - possibly because that's the way Dreyfuss was able to play him - or, more probably, to make the movie more child-friendly so kids would flock to it repeatedly. But people were entertained by the movie - they got to laugh a lot. It was just a big disappointment to those of us who read the book first.
  8. The long-forgotten, slow-burn occult number 'The Mephisto Waltz' (1971). Starred Jacqueline Bisset, Alan Alda, Barbara Parkins.
  9. And that's worth more than someone's life? I doubt strongly that missw would agree with that. These are, after all, membership id's - not even real names.
  10. Speaking of ....... I have to go watch Game of Thrones now.
  11. Uh, yeah - not too oversize for the part, ay.
  12. Not especially - though I will say Dillon is a better actor in that role than Wagner was. I also like looking at Sean Young more than Joanne Woodward. She's not as good an actor, but she's easy on the eyes. It's a compelling book. The movie versions lose something from it.
  13. I've always thought 'Brides' was the best Hammer period piece ever made. Scars I like because it has a decent Dracula dispatching - unlike many of them.
  14. Found it. It was a 'Thriller' episode (although she did do an Alfred as well). It's called 'Masquerade' and it's really good. [...]
  15. I LOVE Elizabeth Montgomery, Holden. And I mean love. She was S-E-X-Y. I saw her in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents (or was it Karloff's Thriller?) episode with its customary twist ending wherein she is revealed to be not quite the victim we thought. Hot, hot, hot. What a beauty.
  16. When I think of him, I think first of '1984'. My favorite O'Brien performance. Second, I think of 'The Wild Bunch'.
  17. The only reason I care about seeing 'Witchfinder General' is to hear the correct music while watching it. There's a version that has bare breasts in it too, but that doesn't matter - adds nothing to the narrative. It's the music that matters. Apparently, Americans were too cheap to pay the original composer's royalties and substituted a far inferior musical track.
  18. I believe Paul Morrissey's outlandish 1973 film 'Flesh for Frankenstein' (aka Andy Warhol's Frankenstein) was somewhat controversial at the time. Some critics said it went way too far. I remember hearing reports of people getting sick in the theater. Gosh, I loved the 70's.
  19. It's been a long time since TCM showed 'Suspiria' (1977). That'd be a terrific October treat.
  20. Why not? She was the hot one on the show.
