  1. I also think it's the "special edition" version that has footage of Dreyfuss  talking with other power company workers before he goes off to his assignment and then encounters those three galactic phenomenons.  But like I said, it's been a while.

    I thought there were a couple of scenes. Isn't there more of them at the beach movie shoot and then the added scene outside the hotel. IIRC they enter together. Not exactly ambiguous.

    If you're talking about Scott's and Liv Tyler's characters entering the hotel together at the end of the movie, that scene is in both versions.   And I think you're right about the beach movie.  And I think there's added footage in the garage practice segment.  It's been a while.

  3. Her place of birth really doesn't matter that much. 

    But that this "Real live Niece of her Uncle Sam" is still with us does.  ;) 

    Always a cutie regardless of age, I too, wish her a happy birthday.

    Macrame:

    Yeah, macrame too, but that's not what I was talking about.  What I meant were those square shaped thing with different colors of yarn wrapped around a couple of wood sticks that looked like a large "plus" sign.  ;)

    I was thinking of home decor, buildings, etc.   The only colors that seemed to be used, other than earth tones, were the now well-known avocado green, harvest gold, and a bright orange.  Otherwise, everything seemed brown, brown brown.   Even TV cabinets, though now made of plastic, were still make to look like wood, with fake wood grain.

    Some clothes were wild, patterns were anyway, with stripes and checks but unflattering lines.   I was not much of a fan of the 70s, even though I spent most of my childhood and teen years  in that decade.   Shortages, fuel crises, Watergate, inflation, ugly clothes (to me), ugly cars (again, to me), recession, Olympics hostages, Iran hostages.  The only bright spot to me was the Bicentennial.

    :o WHAT!?!

    No "rain lamps"?  Shag carpeting on the walls?  Fiber optic lamps?  Or clunky faux Mediterranean furniture?  Or those ugly square shaped wall hangings made with wood and yarn? (I forget what they were called).  Or even mirror tiled walls? ;) Or Z brick?

    My last post features images from tonight's film, She-Wolf of London. You would have recognized one of the images in the montage, if you had gone back to the original post about tonight's film. After my initial post, the thread did segued into some posts about June Lockhart, who is the star of tonight's film.

     

    In my defense, I've never seen that movie, so what was there for me to recognize( besides Ms. Lockhart)?  ;)

  7. Sometimes, "deleted" scenes that are incorporated into home video releases are like "previously unreleased" track on CD album reissues.  Takes only a second or two to realize why they were unreleased.    Like the releasing of a version of STAR WARS that had Han Solo walking and talking with Jabba the Hut.  Notice that Jabba in that release is MUCH smaller and LESS  malevolent looking that when we first saw the character in RETURN OF THE JEDI.   Or the re-release of CLOSE ENCOUNTERS(etc.)  with the added footage of Dreyfus being shown inside the spaceship.  But something(it seemed to me) was then too, deleted to make room for it.

    Then there's the silliness of later home video releases of ET.  having CGI editing that changed the FBI agent's guns into walkie-talkies for some stupid PC reason.  :rolleyes:

    And I have both a VHS theatrical release of THAT THING YOU DO and a DVD that includes both the theatrical release and the "Director's cut" that has a couple of scenes not seen in theaters.  Like Thom Everett Scott and girlfriend Charlize Theron relaxing in his apartment with SPARTACUS(a nickname Scott;s character gives himself) playing on his TV set.  And another scene in which Tom Hanks and Howie Long are sitting in a car, talking with Scott in which the ensuing conversation seems to indicate that Hanks' and Long's characters are more than just pals.  ;)  Obviously, the people in charge felt those two scenes needed to be cut from the theatrical release.

    most disgusting romance for me is Humphrey Bogart and Mary Astor in The Maltese Falcon. How can you admire a gumshoe who falls in love with a cold-blooded murderess?...

    and I'm sorry astor is not that pretty.

    :)

    I do agree and have long had the same opinion.  Maybe Astor was cute when younger, but in MALTESE FALCON appeared to be more suited in a role as Andy Hardy's high school  principal. Or Myrna Loy's older sister in some other flick.  Even Miles Archer's wife(Gladys George) was way better looking, even at two years older than Astor.

    Whenever John Wayne is teamed with almost any other actress than Maureen O'Hara.

    (...the chemistry just isn't nearly up to the same degree)

    I get that.  Like Wayne and  Elizabeth Allen in DONOVAN'S REEF.  Talk about May and December?   Seemed more JANUARY-DECEMBER to me!

    Delbert Mann said that the scene had been cut out for broadcast TV.  TCM shows "Marty" with the scene included but the Movies Network recently showed "Marty" with the scene missing!

    One thing I don't get....

    I first saw MARTY on a Saturday matinee TV broadcast of BILL KENNEDY's SHOWTIME in '67.  And that scene was in it as well.  In fact, I can't imagine why anything would be cut from it.  And maybe that scene was intact because Kennedy's TV program was broadcast from across the Detroit river from Windsor, Ont. at the time?  I couldn't say.

    That would be Dan Lauria as Jack Arnold from the Wonder Years.

    Probably the closest dad on screen or television to my own pops as I've seen.

    I thought I remembered that woman in the photo as the Mom on that show, but that  didn't look like the Dad as I remembered him from that show.  And I did like that show.  But I think that KURTWOOD SMITH,  who played the Dad "Red" on THAT 70'S SHOW played his role more reminiscent of what most '60's Dads were like as me and most of my buds remember...  ;)

    I see your point but i still think my opinion of bringing a celebrity in cheapens it.  Saying Trebek was already well known before hosting Jeopardy isn't really relevant.  He was known for hosting game shows, he wasn't a celebrity.  

    I was merely relating that Trebek was what could be considered a sort of celebrity in Canada before hosting any game shows in The United States.  And some might argue that he reached some celebrity status hosting those shows as well.   But then like JAMES stated, it all comes down to how one defines "celebrity".  ;)

    What I wondered about is if MGM had to pay the Lewis Stone's estate for the use of his image in the film Andy Hardy Comes Home.      

    While researching this I found out how Stone died of a heart attack:   (Wiki):

     "He reportedly suffered a heart attack while chasing away some neighborhood kids who were throwing rocks at his garage. Another published report states that on that date Stone and his third wife were watching television when they heard a racket in the back yard. When he investigated, Stone found lawn furniture once again floating in the pool and glimpsed three or perhaps four teenage boys running toward the street. Stone gave chase despite his wife's warning not to exert himself".

    So did Stone die chasing neighborhood Andy Hardy type kids?    Oh,  the irony of life.

     I hadn't seen Andy Hardy Comes Home (I have seen all the others in the series);     Interesting that Joey Forman was in the film.   I only knew him from Get Smart and his role as Harry Hoo,  famous Chinese detective.        I never knew Forman and Rooney had such a connection (Wiki):

    He first attracted attention in Las Vegas as the opening act for Mickey Rooney and also Rooney's straight man. He also co-starred in Mickey Rooney's 1954–1955 NBC sitcom The Mickey Rooney Show: Hey, Mulligan, as Mickey's best friend.

    Did Buck Henry and others creators of Get Smart get the idea for Harry Hoo from Rooney and Breakfast at Tiffany's. 

     

    I read that story of Stone dying while chasing kids from his house in the questionable "fact filled" book HOLLYWOOD BABYLON.   It even had a photo of him lying dead on the street.

    Interesting query about the Harry Hoo character.

    I agree with you here (hey,  there is always a first time!);    Of course a network like TCM,  where their entire focus is movies,  should know what version they are leasing. 

    There is only one dependency here;  do those that own a film (e.g.  a studio,  Disney, etc...),  know what version(s),  they have to lease?    

    One would think they would;   E.g.  the 1931 Garbo film Mata Hari:    There is the initial 1931 released,  pre-code version.    But the film was re-released after the Production code was enforced in July 1934 and MGM had to cut the film to get it passed by the censors.     Therefore there are two "legit" studio released versions.       

    When TCM shows a film like Mata Hari they should know which of these two they have leased! 

     

    There would be if MGM  didn't cut the the "master" negative and call in all the copies and put them in a vault where they might have eventually deteriorated.  But that's just a guess.  ;)
