>"Personally, I don't think slitting up TCM (...) would work." >Best malaprop I've read in a loooong time. I liked the one a few months ago where, in a discussion of NIGHT OF THE LEPUS, someone meant to refer to the killer rabbits as "Easter Bunnies" but accidentally typed "Eater Bunnies"!

>Tonight I had the misfortune of watching "the beyond" (well the first 4min) - total gore, and uncalled for human mutilation and torture. > Be glad you turned it off when you did. The gore and disgustingness continued relentlessly. And this movie found more ways to show ugly and disgusting liquids than any other I can think of.

That sounds like it could be PAPER MOON (1973). Info about it is here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070510/

Trivia! Has anyone else noticed the MIRACLE ON 34th STREET connection in the movie THEM!? (And I don't mean just the appearance of one prominent actor. That's too easy, too obvious. I mean something more).

If it's "fixed" where's the "quote" option when replying to a post? I still can't find it.

THINGS YOU NEVER SEE ON THE SCREEN is a 1935 Warner Bros. short. It is basically just like all their other "Bloopers/Breakdowns" reels but was produced to look more like a real short. It's available as an extra on the 2006 Warners DVD of the 1935 feature G MEN.

I stayed up for it just to see Yvonne Craig. But she didn't even show up until about halfway through the snooze-fest. And sure enough I fell asleep before it was over.

CineMaven said... Funny, I was watching "Orchestra Wives" this morning...well, not exactly watching; I I had it on while I was puttering about. I didn't really want to actively watch it..it was going to be kind of corny. It was very 1940's movie predictable. Every time I saw George Montgomery he made me stop what I was doing. Hi, Maven, ORCHESTRA WIVES certainly is a great one for listening perhaps more than watching - all that wonderful Glenn Miller music! Including one of my favorites, "People Like You and Me" that the band never recorded on records. One thing that I always notice about George Montgomery is his voice. Does anyone else think he sounds almost exactly like Clark Gable?

That's an interesting still of Jean Simmons and Lyle Bettger. It's promoting the 1951 Paramount feature DEAR BRAT in which Bettger appears, but not Jean. Maybe they shot a series of promotional stills of her visiting other Paramount sets, too. Strange that she never even appeared in any Paramount films around that time but that they seem to be promoting her. Another cool still, Mongo! Thanks!

Kyle, It's interesting that THE CYCLOPS was distributed in some areas by Allied Artists and in others by RKO Radio Pictures. Your poster is from RKO Radio.

THE H-MAN is coming up again on TCM on Thursday night, June 30. So be sure to tune in and check it out.

Surely Temple!

> {quote:title=SoCalGal16 wrote:}{quote} > Or Spartacus. Why no Spartacus? > At least that one's been on TV before. How about the original THE BLUE LAGOON (1949)? Never been on TCM, in fact I haven't seen it on TV anywhere since a local channel one late night in 1973. That's one that truly deserves rediscovery.

What did she throw in and what did it have to do with the thing he picked up? > I think he was just exasperated with her for picking up a tiny twig when big logs were needed for the fire.
