he reminded me a lot of peter finch.

why does tcm have to put a 4-star good movie like Dog Day Afternoon on so late at nite. some of us need our deplorable beauty sleep and the one vcr I have doan work anymore so it's no good setting the timer. tcm oughta put beaten into the ground crud like doctor zhivago and GWTW on at those hours that way most of us will miss them.

he doan want his dam watch.

goodbye miss Julie, you buxom babe.

she was very sweet as the school nurse and chuck heston's love interest in The Private War of Major Benson which tcm will probably be too cheap to get a copy of for any tribute to this wonderful actress.

I was just thinking of kranmar's delicious mystery appetizer earlier today

you fiend!

a relative?

svengoolie said the werewolf makeup in The Werewolf was the same makeup from Return of the Vampire.

I missed the start but that sure felt like one of Bava's pieces of crud. I figured he might be the director.

I think I woulda enjoyed maneater of hydra better.

watched most of it. what crud. Cameron Mitchell's voice is dubbed even. I just could not cotton to some masked psycho beating up some poor blonde then torturing her. nothing entertaining just nauseating. hate these lousy euro-trash attempts at copying Hitchcock or whoever they were trying to mimick. the color film quality stinks and the women are not that pretty especially on that grade of film. why does the one woman drag the disfigured blonde's corpse out of her car trunk than drag it upstairs? let the police do that or better yet her stupid butler. he wasn't even in the same league with fritz feld.

I only watch FREE on-demand movies. if it's free than I'll watch it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZaXAnyy0F4

I never liked williams' superman score. there were portions I liked but the main theme has always fallen flat on my ears. Goldsmith does a much better job with Supergirl.

I think they ruined the fugitive at the end with that bs about the guy being in the kimble home and witnessing helen kimble's murder by the one armed man. I think it was a mistake to throw that in. it requires us to accept this war hero-coward lets kimble be pursued for years by Gerard and the police rather than blow his image so he lets kimble go thru hell. I thought it was dumb to put that in. the rest of it I got no problem with what with Gerard saving kimble's life. a better ending woulda been kimble having to kill Johnson to save his own life but in doing so destroys any chance of clearing himself... maybe having the dying Johnson incriminate himself and Gerard hears it and he clears kimble. the series didn't really have to end. I woulda continued the series by having kimble go back to the women who left the most impression on him during his 4-year sojourn. maybe carol rossen in ep 'middle of a heat wave'. but can anyone really see kimble picking up his pediatrician practice after what he's been through?

oh yeah, I've heard of that one and I'll see if it's on youtube. every time I think of janssen I think what a loss.

rats!...... I've never been west of Pennsylvania.

I think mixing in some serious drama in spots hurts this movie. it shoulda been a comedy straight throughout. and then we get this awkward punchline with edna mimicking mel at the end. I turn it off rather than sit through that. and what are mel and edna struggling in nyc in a cramped 14th floor apartment when his brother and wife are living in a big country home like that?

I have always believed that many movies should not be colorized where the B&W cinematography is part of the overall feel of the movie... of course! that goes without being said. I like the early part of poltergeist but when they bring the fat dumpy little clairvoyant into the picture and we here the new age crap about the big bright light that's when the film starts to weaken itself as a supernatural thriller....plus the whole premise of the film is a rip-off of twilight zone ep 'little girl lost'. I mean they shoulda thrown in more stuff like the spindly ectoplasmic spidery apparition that scares jobeth Williams in the hallway.

the haunting is a film I would not like to see colorized because of the shadowy camerawork. I watch mainly because Julie harris' performance becomes a hoot.

the classic illustrated comic book art sucked just like gold key.

2 am in the morning! hey, even we deplorables need our beauty sleep. is it too much to expect tcm might show something like this at a decent primetime hour like eight, nine or ten? then there would be no problem.

it has finally taken years for me to figure how nutty mel's snow shovel idea is. he's gonna wait for the winter snow and at approximately six on the dot he's gonna drop a sheetful of snow off his porch to coincide with jacoby coming home from work? he's nuts!
