did not think too much of man made monster last nite. lon chaney jr. was not handed a lot to do except act a little less stupid than lenny. only good acting came from lionel atwill and anne nagel. gee, what a scary monster. tears his rubber electro-suit on some barbed wire and he's finished. wouldn't you think that dam pooch woulda got juiced at some point?
and why did mccormick fry them goldfish? to test his voltage? anyway, so much for electro-biology.and having to sit through a dumb horror flick like man made monster is bad enough but you gotta put up with svengoolie's lame humor which is often times excruciating. if koz wasn't his voice then I would say give hosting duties to the scrawny yellow chicken which certainly has more personality then svengoolie. this is what koz does. he will show a good movie then follow it up with one or two turkeys before showing a good movies again.

Didja see it, Nipkow?
I didn't, but I saw the end, where they showed Rich at some convention, because the movie was short (Rich said). The lady with the horns shoulda won, btw.
He comes off as a very nice guy, I like him. He should replace RO, if Ben doesn't want the job.
Poor Lon Chaney Jr., it must have done a job on him having an overbloated ham as a father. He and Bing Crosby probably had a lot in common.

besides lon chaney jr. as this electroded guy, there's also a nice ep of lost in space too, the trader with torin thatcher. I always get a kick outta thatcher popping in at the dinner table to offer the robinsons his wares. smith goes nuts for some turkey but professor robinson says no. maureen and judy are gonna prepare some delicious hamburgers made from scratch...
from dehydrated string beans (no doubt got from the hydroponic garden). now just howda ya make hamburger patties from dehydrated string beans? do you chop, mince or shred? then cook the hell out of it until you have something brown with the consistency of a chewy steak-umm? sounds good to me.
why should they trade with the trader when they can have some delicious dehydrated string bean robinsonburgers?

multi-million dollar cgi for teenagers. the big honcho right now is the avengers age of ultron with hype building for star wars the force awakens. when you greedily cater to a single demographic you're shafting everyone else. I doan hold with it.

OH btw, I forgot to add here that the correct answer to Groucho's old question was: "No one". You see, President Grant and his wife Julia Dent Grant are entombed above ground inside sarcophagi within that NYC monument.
But, as you may remember, Groucho would always accept the name of "Grant" as a correct answer in order for those unfortunate souls to not walk away empty-handed.
(...he never being a real stickler for accuracy in this regard, of course)
fenneman (in leiu of bughouse), that's all. just plain fenneman.

when was the last time tcm showed hot spell?
year, month and day.

selected films is fixed irrevocably in place by cement with nothing new being added? will hot spell and the universal horror classics ever be seen again on tcm? just how many never before seen or long time since last shown films does tcm regularly break out? not enough.

I doan know. andy was pretty rough on that cute little wuff-wuff.

It was produced in Japan in 1956 and released that year as well.
The Americans, true to form, chopped 14 minutes from its 82 minute running time - added some hydrogen bomb footage to the beginning - dubbed it - changed the name from Radon to Rodan (as there was a detergent selling in the U.S. called 'Radon') and released the bastardized version in the summer of 1957.
So, why 1958, TCM?
love them Japanese miners-killing meganulons.

the early seventies saw a lot of this type of low-budget amateurish horror flick and I gawked at my share as a kid and teenager. an independent station in my viewing area was always showing this along with bob clark's other zombie feature children shouldn't play with dead things but at least that one had some clever humor along with the obligatory gore and there was a sense of justice when alan the tyrannical acting troupe owner gets his from orville whom he disrespects throughout that film.
no such luck here. dead good boy andy returns to home and hearth to perplex all with his quiet detached personality. doan talk much but smiles occasionally and even informs his loved ones that he has been dead which they let pass and no doubt chalk up to his wartime experiences. andy spends evenings up in his room in a rocking chair and during the day lays around in a lounge chair like a corpse which he is. in front of some adoring neighborhood kids andy throttles the beloved family pooch butch in front of all the hero-worshipping kids who are now traumatized.
now in the real world his parents oughta have him dragged off right there on the spot but andy gets cut alotta slack by mom while dad who loved the pooch goes to a bar for solace. later on andy's sister who readies din-din for the pooch is told to forget the dog was ever there by mom, meanwhile dad brings home the family doctor to talk to andy who's busy rocking in his chair. the doc who suspects andy's first meal may have been a hapless truck driver who gave andy the hitch back home gets an after hours office visit from andy who lets the doc know he is dead and then decides doc might be a good intravenous taste treat and pokes the doctor repeatedly with a needle.
after draining the docster andy lightens up a little and accepts a double date with sister. at the drive-in andy's sister and boyfriend decide to get some popcorn meanwhile andy's upper forehead starts bleeding so andy decides his old girlfriend who is guilty of nothing but pining for him gets to be his next meal and andy proceeds accordingly. when sister and boyfriend return to the car andy presents himself and the only thing for him to do now his throttle sister's boyfriend which causes sister to loose her marbles. then deteriorating andy is off to his preprepared grave with mother's help and that's the end of this bob clark garbage.

I'll watch forbidden planet to test my later picture settings on my tv and north by northwest for the always hilarious auction segment.
"how do we know it's not a fake? it looks like a fake."

forbidden planet followed by north by northwest. (yawn)

Don't obtain the film at all.
Show the real thing or don't show it at all. When one advertises to show films uncut, that kind of integrity should be a given.
that be exactly what I was tryin' to say. if ya can't show it right then don't show it at all.

"Smileboxing" is an artificial approximation of how a movie that was released in the original 3-strip Cinerama process looked on that deeply curved screen. ICE STATION ZEBRA was not shot in that process even though they referred to it as Cinerama. Doing so would likely make it distorted. Regardless, TCM could only show it if the distributor provided them with a "smilebox" version and there isn't one.
I say tcm oughta get off their lazy accolade-prone duffs and make 'em then. now there's a project! tcm makes 3-strip prints of ice station zebra and 2001: a space odyssey.
and why did mccormick fry them goldfish? to test his voltage? anyway, so much for electro-biology.
Movies are disappearing at an alarming rate.
