  1. a far more constructive Robert Wise remake for Spielberg to tackle would be The Haunting.
  2. who wants to see a remake of a musical by a guy to stupid to stick to aliens? I predict no matter how lame it will be it won't be as bad as Gypsy.
  3. the 80s and 90s are more or less interchangeable as the fare from both decades stink. the 2000s same thing.
  4. pc correctists who would dam Gleason to hell love the sheet coming out of Hollywood today and... those abc primetime specials with Audrey Meadows once again playing alice are nowhere to be found.
  5. I'm just saying the audience wants to see mrs, Jekyll get hers.
  6. a good film that blows itself before the end. at one point you got handsome hyde talking to Jekyll in a mirror telling him it's nothing personal. I first saw this on the CBS Late Movie. the thing is there is no good payoff in it. Jekyll's wife is a real bleep and how it galls hyde when she tells him she doan like him either. but seriously the snake girl's python strangulating Christopher lee I coulda done without but we are robbed of the big payoff scene we shoulda gotten... I wanted to see hyde on top of kitty in bed scare the sheet outta her by relating the nature of her husband's experiment and then asking her to guess who is really on top of her but no instead we get this stupid sheet with a drowsy kitty falling through a skylight. kitty Jekyll is asking for it throughout the whole dam movie and she was so nice in Plymouth adventure.
  7. I didn't know she passed... she was hot as alma in the ghost and mr. chicken. my other favorite knotts knockout is joan freeman as ellie in the reluctant astronaut.
  8. another film I would recommend grabbing while the grabbing's good is The Green Slime from 1968. another stupidly dismissed movie because American critics think japanese special effects invalidate it. stupid! we listen to guys with degrees from college film classes while the real experts, those guys with alotta Saturday afternoon and evening viewing hours in some cases hundreds of hours like myself are ignored. I have liked the green slime ever since I first saw it like 40 years ago on the CBS Late Movie. it's great! the rivalry between jack rankin played so ably by Robert Horton and Richard Jaeckel. of course Rankin winds up with the luscious knockout Luciana Paluzzi. she makes a sweet space nurse. utterly watchable and much underrated the green slime is a winner. I've often thought that Robert Horton woulda made a fine replacement in the role of Prof John Robinson after Guy Williams passed away in 1989 of course that's just my opinion.
  9. like dog day afternoon. what's the point of even trying to edit that one? it has so many utterances of the F word it is ridiculous to try. only place I could see it uncut was right here on tcm. they just ran it like a week ago so I couldn't see it. that is something that needs to be grabbed and put on a disk. probably Sidney Lumet's best film.
  10. well, it has to do with TVs doan it? you know that Scottish guy john logie baird who designed the televisor an early mechanical TV employing a......neon tube. he designed a color system for the military in WWII I'd like to see that recreated.
  11. okay so I capitalized for my nick way back then but that is me. the flyback transformer is an old high voltage component of the old RCA CT-100 our first mass-produced color TV. 😁 ...and you should look up nipkow disk.
  12. hay, I started this thread back in 2013. that's my old nick.
  13. the guy has seven children. Charlie's up there right now pestering the heck outta yeoman Janice. go get 'er, chuck.
  14. alastair sim is so good as scrooge with that nasty scowl of his. he looks like he smells a rotten egg. "no more bread!" and he knows just how to scare xmas carolers too... "off with you!"
