only part I like today is after the monster is bound and chained we get an excellent display of his superhuman strength.

Lancaster tried to make a big splash when he played Moses in a made-for-TV film that few people ever talk about.
I tried to watch that but the sets were terrible and Burt seemed a little too subdued as moses.
he shoulda imbued his performance with some of that old Elmer Gantry flamboyance.

torwards the end there just weren't anymore roles for him and plus Hollywood now hated him for his 2nd amendment activism so they starved and ostracized him just like they do James woods today.
at least he did that TV-movie with John-Boy about an airplane crash.

in his IMDb bio it says chuck's favorite snack food was peanut butter and the film he found the hardest to make was planet of the apes.
the 3rd film while entertaining is where the whole deal jumps the track because you gotta buy Cornelius, zira and milo raising the spaceship from the inland sea and then figuring out advanced 20th century human technologies.

I like earthquake. the story is amusing. you got Heston as an ex-football star with a goofy wife (ava Gardner) who likes to fake suicide attempts because Heston is hanging around a young widow with a kid he likes to give footballs to.
Heston liked getting killed at the end of some of his movies because he liked the dramatic effect of it but I wish he coulda appreciated that we much rather would have him unscathed because he's the chuckster.
I could however have done without Richard Roundtree as the evel kneivel wannabe motorcycle daredevil and what was walter matthau boozed up at a bar all about?
I also like lorne greene as chuck's employer who stalwartly lends a hand after the quake and gives himself an MI lowering people down on an office chair with a rubber hose. I think a love interest between him and his faithful secretary shoulda been played up more.
and psycho nat'l guardsman marjoe gortner scares the hell outta bimbo victoria principal. his own men shoulda cold conked him after he guns down the three looters.
...and Genevieve Bujold ain't scared of electricity.
and it's priceless when George Kennedy punches out a fellow officer because he wrecks some celeb bimbo''s hedge.

she reminds me a little of Ginger Rogers and Claire Trevor with a dash of penny singleton.

nu the way and am aware many don't pay attention t9 the Oscars, just a match-up below>
SPARTACUS won for s.actor (USTNOV), color-costumes, art-direction and a 4th, very tired right now & forget it?
1960 cinema is also a metaphor for it's scoring category out to lunch, what with PSYCHO, MAGNIFICENT 7, INHERIT THE WIND, TE ALAMO, SPARTACUS being snubbed in favor of the eventual winning music for EXODUS winning???
alex north's score is one of the best things about Spartacus in fact someone wrote the music makes up for some of the film's dramatic weaknesses.
I can't comment on GLADIATOR having never seen it.

Cameron thought people would thrill to Leonardo decaprio teaching his girlfriend how to spit.
I thought it was disgusting.

tonite was Dinosaurus! which is not believable because shouldn't the tyrannosaur have bought it after chowing down O'Leary?

I think the newer Aladdin/lion king era animation would make ole Walt retch.
he would never have gone along with their plagiarism.

I like the way Dabbs figures out the martian monster in It the Terror from Beyond Space...
"there was once a civilization on mars. it ended. disease, war, something terrible.
the martians what was left of them went back to barbarism. savage, murderers.
maybe that's what we've got on board."

There’s going to be a new ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ movie
Wonder of wonders: “Fiddler on the Roof” is returning to the big screen.
MGM will produce a remake of the iconic 1964 musical about the struggles and joys of Jewish life in the fictional Eastern European shtetl of Anatevka, according to Deadline.
The new film will bring some star power from Broadway: Director Thomas Kail served in the same role for “Hamilton” and has collaborated with its creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda (famously a “Fiddler” fan), on other shows. Steven Levenson, who wrote the acclaimed musical “Dear Evan Hansen,” will pen the screenplay.
The remake will be carrying on a tradition of more than 50 years.
“Fiddler” first had audiences saying “L’chaim” when it opened on Broadway in 1964 starring Zero Mostel as Tevye and winning nine Tonys. It saw many sunrises and sunsets, at one time holding the record for longest-running Broadway musical at nearly 10 years.
The movie version came out in 1971 and garnered three Oscars, as well as nominations for best actor for Topol and best picture.
Broadway brought back another revival in 2015, and a Yiddish-language “Fiddler” ran off-Broadway until this year.
*************************************************************
I hope they don't fiddle on the roof too much when they decide how this goes, I'm thinking they will make this into some PC version.
they're gonna need some kind of perfect director like quentin tarantino which would make about as much sense as steven Spielberg directing west side story.
Stuart Whitman deserved a tribute
