Allhallowsday

I occasionally glimpse a bit of an episode, mainly to see RON HOWARD, but the reruns are up to 1981 and he was gone by then. What a dull show I thought it was then, I stopped watching it after the first 2 or 3 years. It's still dumb and dull, and once Richie was gone talk about DUMB! That show "jumped the shark" long before Fonzie actually did it.

WYMAN lives. As I'm sure you know.

I expect you'd realize why I quote this...

I watched bits of several of KATHERINE HEPBURN's last night including a bit of IRON PETTICOAT. It's like watching her spoof GRETA GARBO as Ninotchka. Emphasis on NOT. And I always thought I turned it off 'cause of BOB HOPE.

It's worth pointing out that a lot of story had transpired by the time the cast made that first time travel trip...

I don't remember any use of THE word "vampire" but it was the story of Collinwood handyman Willie Loomis discovering that the occupant of the secret crypt-hidden coffin was alive that caused the buzz I remember. Hidden crypt coffins with jewels and a surprise is very cool when you're 5 and 6.

This thread is popular, apparently. I grew up watching the original Dark Shadows on afternoon TV. All the kids got BUZZED when in the under-10 years-set word got around that this TV show (4pm weekday afternoons) had a VAMPIRE!!! I even watched the failed early 90s reboot (also DAN CURTIS produced I think). When I watched the reruns at around 4...A.M. in the early 80s, it had been over 10 years since it'd been off the air and my brother, sister and I were appalled (and delighted) by the CHEEZEE production of that show!!! I mean Barnabas routinely forgetting lines (and stammering) booms buzzing overhead, production crew glimpsed behind sets and moving, wobbling walls... a delight!

JAMAICA INN takes a lot of heat... it was much better than I expected.

Probably more than 15 years... I know it was on again not long after that first time I saw it, which was when I bought the DVD (which includes the novel it was based on!) I have never looked at the DVD... and I have not seen that scorcher since the first couple of times. But, so very memorable! What a movie! Lynched lover! Family betrayal... and loyalty... but scissor throw... UGH!! LOVE IT!!!

TCM has... that's how I first saw it. Western Noir at it's best!

Maybe my second favorite Western...

No but I will keep an eye out for it; our library has lots of DVDs...

I doubt it...

No one can argue with that.

The best part of THE ENTERTAINER is ROGER LIVESEY.

Here's a favorite SHIRLEY happens moment:

I didn't get that movie at all. It's one of those movies I'll give a second chance to when in the right mood. That's the film that made me love ROGER LIVESEY. I was already a fan of MICHAEL POWELL's films. Definitely give it another chance.

Gambit (1966) I generally don't care for SHIRLEY movies much, but in that one she sure is beautiful and I like that film particularly for HERBERT LOM.

I haven't seen it that I recall, but being a BAD movie fan, I am well aware of it. Can't claim to be much interested, but if'n I ever do get the chance, I'll remember it's filmed at an "estate"...

That'd be my guess...

I think that was the album that caught record buyers attention... and led me to MOTELS ' next... Little Robbers

FASTER PUSSYCAT! KILL! KILL! has two or three CAT FIGHTS and is awesomely BAD :

My favorite Western, hands down.

Part of my end of Summer mix :

I remember the album cover (bleacher full of mannequins)... I had the album on vinyl (I think it was a called "Little Robbers"...?
