Aaaah, now here's..ahem.."the thing", slayton....I believe that that's Kenneth Tobey.
-
That's the lustrous Meg Foster, slayton.
How could anyone forget those eyes, huh?!
(...oh and yep, Fred got Dolores Fuller correctly down there...though I'm dyin' to know if he used that "trick" of his to get her, or if he recognized her from maybe one of Ed Wood's films)

Right back atcha, Bro!
-
LOL
Ya know Sepia, it seems you and I are spreading that "20th Century Vole" thread into other threads here, huh!
(...and just like that George You-Know-Who's **** thread seems to do occasionally TOO!)
LOL

I hope you probably figured out that I was jokingly and allegorically referencing the Chinatown sequel The Two Jakes here BigFace, and that with my parenthetical addendum at the end was my way of saying that I've always thought the director of the sequel, Jack Nicholson, could have made a much better film IF he would have edited it a bit better, as I always thought there were way too many scenes which dragged on much too long and thus slowing the pace of it a little too much.
-
Nope, sorry Twinkeee, It's not Pamela Britton.
(...btw, have I ever told you that I used to get Pamela Britton and Marsha Hunt confused together a lot?)
-
Uh huh Swithin, but how about that even LESS remembered SEQUEL to Pericles, Prince of Tyre to which The Bard put pen to paper, HUH?!
Yep, I'm talkin' about the play, The Two Pericleses !
You remember that one too, RIGHT?! That's the one where one of the Pericleses goes into the spec real estate market on the island of Mykonos, but is crushed to death after the roof of the model hut he's sittin' in collapses during an earthquake and just after he tells the other Pericles about all the corrupt activities he was involved with in Athens.
(...yep, and word is even Shakespeare himself thought this play of his needed a heck of lot more editing TOO before its VERY short run at The Globe Theatre...yep, it wasn't nearly as big a hit as people thought it could have been)
-
LOL
Okay, here's a hint...
Another and more modern actress plays her in a comic biopic made in the '90s.
-
True, but then there are those times when the cast lists are done by the size the egos involved.
(...or alphabetically if all the egos involved are somewhat of the same scale, of course)
-
Nope dp. It wasn't there for the reclining actor/actress. It was there so that any other actors standing NEXT to the reclining actor/actress could practice the line...
"IT'S ALIVE! IT'S ALIVE!"
(...well, that's MY guess anyway)
-
Nope twinkee, it's not Ms.(so, whaddaya wanna do tonight?) Marty.
(...sorry, couldn't resist the Borgnine thing there
...but no, it's not Syra) -
Okay Char, I'll admit I made up that whole "Duke playin' with his kachina dolls" thing, but tell me, was that U.S.S. Enterprise coffee table really YOUR'S???
(...'cause yeah, like dp here said, this IS pretty cool!)

>And on the opposite coast, same era (isn't it great to be old, Dargo? ),
Yep, willbe, it sure is. I've said it many a time, but I wouldn't wish to be a day younger than I am, and probably because we grew up in an era when kids didn't have to have three college degrees and the subsequent student loans that sometimes reach into the six-figure range just in order to land a job that MIGHT give you a livable salary.
> I was hooked on The Million Dollar Movie (never knew it was Tara's theme until my father called Channel 9 to ask) and The Late Late Show (ditto on The Syncopated Alarm Clock). Funny how the themes of these shows made their ways into the brain as much as the movies they programmed. Run of the mill b/w classics, btw, but thankfully b/w classics - but oh the humanity, didn't they have comMERcials? Then there was PBS (13 here then, now also 21 and 25), where I remember being transfixed by Ingmar Bergman and the like, sans commercials. Ditto on channels 5 and 11, where when I wasn't grooving to offbeat children's programming, I was catching movies, mostly monster flicks I think.
And your recollections here reminded me of that great scene in that great movie, The Apartment, where Jack Lemmon settles in to watch the tube while eating his TV dinner and when the TV movie host(Bill Baldwin) starts his introduction of, "Tonight's movie, starring Greta Garbo, John Barrymore. Joan Crawford and Wallace Beery in GRAND HOTEL", and with the smile on Lemmon's face getting wider and wider as each of those star's names are being rattled off because he thinks he's in store for a good time to come...but THEN announcer Baldwin says, "But FIRST this commercial...". And of course, this goes on twice, and at which point Lemmon in frustration just turns the TV off!
(...that scene cracks me up every time I see it, 'cause Wilder knew it was SO true...well, that is before Ted Turner started up this little shindig around here, of course!)
-
And so, while we're waiting for darkblue to confirm to Rich that that is indeed Steven Keats, allow me to try and make a few folks scratch their heads with this one here...
-
>Mickey Rooney - 335 (And Counting)
>PLEASE don't give TCM any ideas. I'm already starting to have nightmares of a Mickey Rooney SOTY.
So Andy, I see you don't share Larry Olivier's opinion of Mickey's level of talent, eh?!
-
Very true, finance.
Not only is there now that proverbial Springsteen phenomenon of "57 channels and nothing on(TV)", but any potential audience now has so many other personal options in which to entertain themselves, also.
(...and thus, the old concepts such as "Did you catch The Beatles on Ed Sullivan last night" talk around the water cooler the next day, is a long gone proposition, isn't it!)
-
>Has anyone ever heard the term "tar baby" used as a racial slur, either in general or toward a specific child or person?
Ummmm...uh huh. THIS time anyway....
LOL
-
Oh, and btw everyone...nobody as yet in this thing has answered my earlier question about all the laughter on Ferguson's show.
And so once again...IS that a freakin' LAUGH TRACK they play after almost EVERYTHING the guy utters or WHAT???
(...AND once again, don't get me wrong here, I think the guy IS funny, but GEESH...not EVERY freakin' thing he says is THAT funny!!!!!)
-
>Conan is also funny...but his off the wall humor didn't seem to fit into what long time "TONIGHT" viewers expect. And while those long time viewers accept changes in who hosts the show, they prefer it if the VIBE stays intact.
Actually Sepia, word pretty much was that the primary reason for Conan's poor initial ratings was Leno's poor ratings earlier on in the 10pm time slot, and when NBC in a cost-cutting measure tried Leno's show out in prime-time in that failed attempt. Yep, the whole "Lead-In" factor played a major part in Conan's "failure".
In fact, word also was that most all of NBC's affiliates' 11 o'clock local News programs also had quite a drop in their ratings at the same time.

>Since you're now on board with evryone else on THE GRADUATE, maybe in two more years you can go to Woodstock.
LOL
Good one, finance!
(...so, do ya think there'll still be that warning out about the brown acid by then???)
-
Aah! Now that you mention it slayton, you're right. I forgot to mentioned that program showing classics that was broadcast on one of the network channels.
However, now that you've brought it up, I probably best remember KNXT's "The Late Show" a little more, and its theme song:
The Late Show
Relax, enjoy a snack,
and watch the Late Show
Channel Two is proud to show,
the greatest of stars,
here on the great Late Show
(...remember THAT?...I bet ya do, huh!)
-
Well, growing up in L.A. in the '50s and '60s and where we had 7 local broadcast stations, 3 of 'em network affiliates, but maybe more importantly, the other 4 being independent stations with their necessity of showing "old movies" because of their lack of access to first-run network TV programming, I would say I've owed my appreciation of classic films since childhood to the following sources:
KTLA channel-5, KHJ-TV(now KCAL)channel-9, KTTV channel-11 and KCOP channel-13.
(...sure hope this answers your question, my friend)
-
>I want to hear from you. Has anyone recreated a movie with dolls or action figures?
"Well now, you may laugh here Pilgrim, but I used to take my collection of 64 kachina dolls and reenact the battle scenes in Pappy's 'Fort Apache' at my house in Newport Beach. The only problem was Hank Fonda said he wouldn't join in 'cause he said he thought that was just too weird!"
(...sorry Char, I couldn't resist)
-
Now BigFace, I don't think there was any necessity to go into specifics here, my friend.
Nope, 'cause I'm pretty sure MissW knows by NOW what a high percentage of real "loo-loos" suffering anywhere from a mild to an extreme case of paranoia she has livin' just south of her and on the other side of that 49th Parallel down here.
(...uh huh...if there's ONE thing I know about MissW, it's that she's USUALLY pretty quick on the ol' uptake...well, other than THIS time, anyway!!!)
LOL

And now your post has made me think of a song here, TB...and my fractured lyrics TO that song go somethin' like this:
Oh, the knife, babe, cuts so deep, dear
When you find out, she's your mom
Not your sister, as you've been told, babe
Since you were, but a tyke
