  1. They probably should have used George Takei for that scene. How prophetic that would be!
  2. That episode was banned in the UK until 1994.
  3. I know him best from this video that was parodied on the internet several times. RIP
  4. I definitely agree with this statement. 99% of movies are free online if you know where to look. I don't see why someone should pay money for every movie they want to watch. We'd all go broke if that happened. I only buy movies if I know I love them or if they are extremely rare. For example, recently I bought the rare de la Falaise (Constance Bennett's husband) film Kliou (1936) because it was the very last in stock and nowhere else on the internet. To me that is a great use of my money. Another instance is if Criterion has a DVD with interesting extras I am really keen on seeing and I love the film on top of it. will buy it out of interest.
  5. Amazon description/ synopsis: Kliou the Killer (1937)Kliou the Killer is another 'sensationalist' pseudo-documentary by the Marquis Henry de la Falaise, the man responsible for Omoo-Omoo the Shark God. Filmed on location in the Annan Jungle region of Indochina, the story concerns a Polynesian tribe who has been terrorized by a marauding tiger. Hoping to prove his worth in the eyes of his sweetheart, a young native volunteers to track down and kill the man-eater -- and succeeds beyond his wildest dreams. De la Falaise (at one time the husband of Gloria Swanson and later married to Constance Bennett) appears in a prologue in the company of French occupational officer Lt. Carney. Not too well produced, Kliou the Killer at least had the advantage of vivid Technicolor photography. And from IMDB https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0431202/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv The last Hollywood film to be released silent, and the last to be released in two-color Technicolor. Is this interesting? | Share this Considered to be the first film made in Indo-China, the French colonial territory that is now Vietnam. Is this interesting? | Share this
  6. Great news! I spent a bit of money on myself and bought this Milestone release collection of Henri de Falaise's 1930s Bali films. Legong, which I talk about occasionally and Kliou the Killer, which I have never seen before. Legong is on YouTube but age restricted (due to nudity among the Balinese women) but Kliou does not seem to be available on the internet at all so I am very excited to get it! The one problem is it is region 1 DVD so I will have to buy a multi-region DVD player. Either way, it will be nice to own this great film and finally watch Kliou.
  7. She's 85 years old. Cut her some slack. She looks good for that age. My gran was nothing but wrinkles at the same age.
  8. My life lesson from Star Trek - never Tweet your idols.
  9. Someone mentioned Sean Connery. Ursula Andress is also alive at age 86.
  10. In FW Murnau's Nosferatu (1922), a werewolf is also on the prowl outside the Hungarian inn where Hutter stays at. Since the 1913 film is lost, I think this would be the oldest surviving werewolf depicted on screen that we still have. The werewolf is clearly played by a striped hyena though.
  11. Ruggero Deodato - would be my number one choice Slavoj Zizek Sean Connery Catherine Deneuve Franco Nero
  12. My favorite cult movie is this hilarious Mexican B movie about Rev. "James Johnson" who sends his congregation to "Johnsontown."
  13. Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears (1980)
  14. RIP Now the Golden era of Hollywood is a time that is gone with the wind.
  15. My favorite Henry VIII - Charles Laughton.
  16. Iirc in the original play she doesn't even get with him at all and there isn't even much romance between them. The film would have been better that way.
