Movie Collector OH

I'm sure there were other desert movies (or Bronson Canyon) where he was an uncredited acTOR.

You'll have to forgive me, I'm still trying to TORque my head around that one.

I've said it before and I'll say it here. That is just a great bad movie about a bad movie.

On an interesting note, I was adding the upcoming Godzilla vs. Monster Zero (1965) [Tribune Media/DVR schedule name] to my personal database. My DB gets its info from IMDB, whose entry appears as Invasion of Astro-Monster (1965). Both are also called Kaijû daisensô (1965), which is the only way I was able to match them. Maybe TOR uses some of this alternate naming wisdom in his pursuit to populate useless lists. Just a hunch.

Back during Letterman's years when his shows were more levity-oriented and less politically oriented. Levity is a good thing for movies and TV, politics not so much...

Now see even I can go into IMDB's AKA list find that the Japanese name for it is "豐御食炊屋姬天皇（とよみけかしきやひめのすめら". You're not so talented are you.

IshTOR.

Forbidden Planet Hollywood A lone survivor and his daughter make the journey back to Earth so his daughter can meet a man. The Krell meltdown, Morbius's death, and subsequent departure from Altair IV never happened. It was just an illusion. Morbius and Altaira commandeered the space ship and flew back to Earth themselves, so Altaira could meet a man. This doesn't go very well as eligible bachelors on Earth are in short supply. Morbius quickly develops a gambling addiction in a Las Vegas casino with his "plastic educator"-addled brain and eventually takes them for all they are worth. There is a bouncer at Planet Hollywood named Tor, known for punching holes in walls and uprooting trees just to impress the ladies. Altaira and Tor exchange glances, but no. It was not meant to be. Bored with the idiocy on this planet, Morbius and Altaira go back home.

I just looked it up, yes! Interesting how I recognized her by face. Still a looker.

I'm not so sure he does. But every time he does that I bust a gut. Apologies to the Kidd if I am misunderstanding things here.

I haven't seen any of this, but it looks like the cousin in National Lampoon's Vacation who was born without a tongue, grown up.

I was thinking maybe something with above ordinary visual gags, like Three Stooges, or maybe since it was remembered to be a war piece, something Kay Kyser did - such as Around The World (1943), a not-so-serious USO/musical type of movie. Kyser's theatrics included a trombone player in Kyser's band, "Kollege Of Musical Knowledge", who had a cukoo clock mounted to the end of his trombone slide, etc. Lots of handmade visual gags but before Spike Jones. In fact, Spike Jones may be another place to look. Another one full of cartoon-like props is The Horn Blows At Midnight (1945) with Jack Benny. Not in the War/Comedy genre, but Comedy/Fantasy/Music. Surreal to the hilt. I'd think of movies like that, provided you're sure it's not a cartoon. It looks like I have about 65 movies in my personal list (too many to list for this post) that match the War/Comedy criteria but if you are interested I could get back. P.S. Not sure if you meant you saw it in 1965, or if it was made in 1965.

I finally got around to listening to it and am glad I did. I liked him before, but now think even more highly of him. He has basically worked for everything he has, in spite of an already prominent family name. It sounds like he is really into the whole thing at TCM, and that is a good thing for TCM viewers.

Tri-county resident here, plus a major city in one of them. So four cards for me. No I haven't set foot in even one of them for a while. The library systems are good for plenty of other things, they generally don't have many of the books I want, which have been less common out-of-print biographies on certain stars. Online is really the way to go for me, which oddly enough has been sourced by libraries all around the country moving stock and selling off old unused items. No, I didn't see Marian online.

That is just great. Hopefully there will be more stories out there like this to come.

I have this one. Love it. It was shot in our own town. For years there was a family-owned restaurant of the same name.

This one's great, a bad movie within a bad movie (which oddly enough is pretty entertaining). Another one that fits these parameters is "Best Worst Movie", a documentary of how they made Troll 2. Troll 2's ratings ended up in the toilet, but the documentary got a fairly high rating and much higher popularity on its own. [iMDB comments]

Hey, wouldn't you know, Mysterious Island (1929) is on my wish list too! I must have scrolled right past it as I was narrowing it down for "Spooky" topics.

I have almost every single one of those scheduled too. Hard to tell if That Night In Rio will fit into my "Jungle" category, along with White Cargo. Only one way to find out.

Here are some entries from my MovieCollector official-unofficial hard-to-find wishlist. (stuff I don't have). Maybe TCM has some of these. Kudos to TCM for showing as many rare movies as they have. The Attic (1980) - Ray Milland. A librarian devotes her life to caring for her wheelchair-bound tyrannical father after being stood up at the altar.

Brown. A bumbling detective chases an escaped convict in an amusement park haunted house. The Comedy of Terrors (1963) - Vincent Price • Peter Lorre • Boris Karloff • Joyce Jameson • Joe E. Brown • Beverly Powers • Basil Rathbone. Waldo Trumbull, an undertaker who hasn't had any 'customers' in a long time is forced the pay one year's back-rent.

What a great thread! Thank you for locating it.

I'd say most people on here never touch HD when it comes to recording, and I don't see anything wrong with that. I have done both, and the former (a stand-alone DVD recorder) is certainly easier to initially set up. The real reason I went into that last post was just to say I had the same experience as what you mentioned, to differentiate the picture quality of the SD feed from commercially-produced DVDs (they are both the same format). I was a bit surprised when I first noticed it. (before that, I couldn't really see the difference on a good 20 year old 27" CRT TV)

Ah, Colonel Ehrhardt, I cannot tell you how good it is to breathe the air of the Gestapo again. -from To Be Or Not To Be

I will see Trog again too. The only Tupperware we have is over 30 years old. It is used to store small tools in the garage. I think after all these years the plastic has outgassed. It is yellow and brittle. I would never store food in it.
