YES!!!!!!!!! (UNLIKE HALLMARK!!!!)

YES! (I read about it in INSIDE OSCAR!) (I ALWAYS GET A THRILL WHEN SOMEONE ELSE REMEMBERS SOMETHING INCREDIBLY OBSCURE!!!!)

and ALL 12 SEASONS OF MURDER SHE WROTE!!!!!!!

....also, the HEAVY LESBIAN SUBTEXT in NIGHT MONSTER is (as always) fun.

SORRY, I JUST realized I quoted you in the above post and never responded to this point of yours, POOR BELA, HE JUST GETS NO RESOLUTION AT ALL DOES HE? At least he does better than LIONEL ATWILL in his proto-TOM SKERRITT in ALIEN part... I have to be careful because- as I recall- NIGHT MONSTER is a film that is near and dear to the hearts of a lot of people on the boards...I personally do not get it, but there are at least surprises in store for the viewer, I grant you that. ps- it is an audacious film, that is for sure.

i think (although I may be wrong) that RIVER'S EDGE came out the same year as HOOSIERS and BLUE VELVET...which was one Hell of a trip for Dennis. (nothing he wasn't used to) as you point out, he got- (i think) to his shock and possible consternation- the Oscar nod for HOOSIERS, most people felt he'd've had a better chance if nominated for BLUE VELVET (a performance for which he most certainly deserved a nomination...i have never seen HOOSIERS)

Yes, thank you... Just to add my personal experience, I downloaded PEACOCK for free this time last year because, yes, they had- like- ALL the UNIVERSAL MONSTERS (of which only a few were "locked" and available only to the premium users) plus some HAMMER HORRORS that UNIVERSAL has rights to like BRIDES OF DRACULA and CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF...They stayed on the service until FEBRUARY for me... I WILL NOTE HERE that I own a goodly number of the films offered on DVD, but I am lazy and hate searching for them and switching over the DVD function and finding the dvd remote and etc. PEACOCK often has, in my searches, some pretty decent film titles offered (all I think owned now by universal) and they don't have OBNOXIOUS AMOUNTS OD ADS (like pluto or AMC....YET)

STAR 80 too, I liked that movie A LOT MORE than I expected to.

I guess the BROADWAY ADAPTATION COULD BE CALLED "FOSSE OFFERINGS"...? or "BURNT FOSSERINGS"...?

COULDN'T HAVE BEEN WORSE THAN [the1969 film version of] "SWEET CHARITY" THOUGH!!!! (WOOF!)

I'm crazy, yes, but the notion of BOB FOSSE directing BURNT OFFERINGS is ****ing NUTS!!!!!!!!!

can you imagine IF BOB FOSSE had done BURNT OFFERINGS???!!!??? I am now imagining KAREN BLACK POSSESSED IN THE DRESS WITH THE HAIR coming at OLIVER REED with JAZZ HANDS!!!!! JAZZ HANDS!!!! JAZZ HANDS!!!!!!

copied and pasted from wikipedia: In a Variety piece published on December 11, 1969, it was announced a project named Burnt Offerings would be directed by Bob Fosse (!!!!!) from a screenplay by Robert Marasco; Turman Films and Cinema Center Films would be producers and Lawrence Turman executive producer.[4] Although it never materialized, a novel of the same name by Marasco was published in 1973.[4] The American Film Institute inductively reasoned the book may have been written based on the un-produced screenplay.[4] Burnt Offerings was directed by Dan Curtis, most known for television horror works such as the series Dark Shadows (1966–1971) and films like The Night Stalker (1972). It was the only theatrical feature he ever directed.[5] When offered to do the project, he found the novel uninteresting, particularly what he called its "nothing" ending, and joked to himself, "I bet some idiot who doesn't know what he's doing will come along and make this."[6] William F. Nolan removed the first third of the book where the family was in New York City, finding it didn't work, and the chauffeur was conceived by him and unique to the film.[5] Filming took place in August 1975 at the Dunsmuir House located in Oakland, California.[7]Burnt Offerings was the first movie to be filmed at the Dunsmuir House. According to a commentary with Dan Curtis, William F. Nolan, and Karen Black, Curtis reveals that his rationale for the fog machine was to shoot "motes."[8] Bette Davis reportedly had conflicts with Karen Black, feeling that Black did not extend to her an appropriate degree of respect and that her behavior on the film set was unprofessional.[9]

WOW! It's jarring to see ACTUAL NIGHT and not DAY FOR NIGHT in a DAN CURTIS JOINT!!!! (BETTE DAVIS must've refused to sign otherwise.)

hopefully this won't get me or anyone else in trouble...

He was also obnoxious on MARY TYLER MOORE! "I don't like Wonder Woman, she's too butch,"

And now on the news tonight, we'll probably see: "BREAKING! FOOTAGE EMERGES OF KEANU REEVES KICKING OLD LADY IN THE HEAD AT FAMED LA HOTSPOT "THE VIPER ROOM" in 1992!!!" Because that just seems how the world is now and all....

when i lived in HOLLYWOOD, I actually found myself rubbing elbows with with some big players here and there, and I heard multiple accounts of what a nice and generous guy he is in real life.

Meanwhile at the DEPT OF T.M.I., I am firmly #TeamBill (that shirt and those curls do it for me EVERY TIME.)

Oh wow, that really was right there in front of me and I missed it, thanks ...To be fair, at the time I think I was still utterly gobsmacked as to why the auto sensor bleeps out **** Skye’s name. still am, really.

the part in the DRIVE IN when he RUNS OVER THE KID is to me, the best part of DEAD OF NIGHT... AND i think he possibly actually killed the stuntperson...if it was a stuntperson....

oops. i did not know that pic of OLIVER REED was SO GIGANTIC.

I will say so, THAT I FIND OLIVER REED TO BE DEVASTATINGLY SEXY. My mind might change thirty seconds after meeting him, but WOOF! (At ALL stages of his career)

Yes, RAGE. I was curious, but did not bite.

OLIVER REED not get along with someone?! WHAT'S THIS YOU SAY?! No. I don't believe it. He seems like such a friendly guy. (heavy sarcasm,)
