"use your imagination, vincent. invent!"

my favorite tcm pet comedy lust for life was on this afternoon and I missed all but the last 30 minutes. very disappointed I be because I doan like missing my favorite comedy. van gogh driving gauguin nuts in that house is always a hoot to watch. bring back one reel wonders and show the van gogh nutso portion with gauguin. another good part is van gogh trying to give an increasingly frustrated gauguin easel battening down advice in a raging gale.

that's one of the few colorized holiday films out there before purists killed colorization. just my opinion but I think it would be nifty for tcm to exercise some originality by re-igniting colorization by colorizing A Holiday Affair with Robert Mitchum and Janet Leigh. that's another Miracle on 34th Street holiday favorite waiting to be born. tcm, colorize it...and kindly be quick about it if you please.

lets see john nesbitt's passing parade shorts too. I wanna see 'our old car'.

what did the kid do? refuse to eat his sauerkraut?

hollywood of today is simply beset by stupid, untalented and most egregiously, unintuitive people. what you wanna do is do a cgi grinch after you find someone who can vocally mimic boris karloff. today's hollywood stupes ain't even smart enough to do that.

I'm disappointed in the TV commercial. it has no scenes with the guy who plays john wayne pickin' on dalton trumbo. I'm a duke fan so where's my incentive to go see it?

I just knew this was gonna happen! Rex Reason kicking off before tcm could ask him to do a co-host sit-in with osborne of a showing of This Island Earth, now rex reason is gone. never gonna happen now because tcm slights the sci-fi and horror genres.

Hot Spell (1958) produced by Hal B. Wallis, directed by Daniel Mann, written by James Poe (a SOUTHERN writer) stars Shirley Booth Anthony Quinn, Earl Holliman, Shirley MacLaine and Eileen Heckart. never heard of it???

I think you're adorable, shorty.

is it better than that awful Band of Angels?

I do like that badass poster.

NGC giving the pilgrims the 1492: conquest of paradise routine... without marlon brando as torquemada, of course.

yeah, stewed morlock.

I doan know how egotistical widmark was if at all but he sure was a laugh riot as fun-loving tommy.

ol' H.G. woulda taken the bible simply because it is the foundation for much of what we call western civilization and if wells woulda wanted to explain the tenets of western civilization to the future morlock fodder called humankind then why would he not take back one of it's major underpinnings? and besides, seeing those poor creatures under the power of the morlocks might have caused wells to question some of his own darwinian assumptions. he mighta said to himself "if this is where science is going to lead us to, lambs to the slaughter... where the hell's my bible?!"

I just wish Richard Widmark hadn't of resented being so identified with his role of giggling psycho-gangster tommy udo. actors imo shouldn't resent the public liking them in certain roles. it is in fact the greatest of compliments. instead some actors regard it as a slight against them. such an unfortunate egotistical attitude. actors should appreciate those roles that endear them to the public. what a great thing it woulda been to see richard widmark reprise tommy udo on an episode of the lucy show or even hee haw.

but doan show Hot Spell written by james poe. it's not in the coffer.

a great midnite movie.
