Snorky Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 Ah yes, sounds like you know the movie! It's Claire Bloom in the sci-fi classic, The Illustrated Man (1969), with Rod Steiger and Robert Drivas. BTW, I just recorded "The Monsters are Due on Maple Street" last nite from the local Channel 23. I'll have to see what all the fuss is about.. Happy New Year, Fred!

FredCDobbs Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 This movie was really great, a true modern classic. I don't know why it isn't shown on TV more often. It is a freaky movie, since the audience never quite understands what's going on, but the individual separate stores about the past and the future are very effective, and Rod Steiger was perfect. So was Claire Bloom. She really knew how to mess with Steiger's mind. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgNYE7jcAFM&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorky Posted January 1, 2008 Author Share Posted January 1, 2008 A really creepy movie with a haunting score. It seems to have been pretty much unavailable before it's DVD release as part of Amazon/WBHV's DVD Decision 2006 and they've done a beautiful restoration on it. I agree, they did a great job with casting. Thanks for posting that link to the theatrical trailer which is also included on the DVD.

Snorky Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 I think the best segment was The African Veldt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snorky Posted March 2, 2008 Author Share Posted March 2, 2008 Hey, I was just watching the clip from the movie and I heard Rod Steiger say, "where the lions live, down in Africa". Snarfie, I know you haven't been around much lately but I'm just wondering if "Illustrated Man" was the answer to your little trivia game a while back? The favor of a reply would be greatly appreciated. Snorkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorky Posted June 11, 2008 Author Share Posted June 11, 2008 Okay, okay... let's get back to movies here. I've thought of a new one! And that's the first clue - it's a newer movie. Heh heh Message was edited by: Snorky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorky Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 Grrr. What did I just tell you? It's more recent than 1985. And the answer has nothing to do with Africa! What is wrong with you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snorky Posted June 22, 2008 Author Share Posted June 22, 2008 Possible Spoiler: It's a movie about a man who's unhappy with his life. He begins attending support groups and finds he enjoys the sympathy that lies and deceit can bring him, quickly becoming addicted to the attention and the drama; a "sufferer" of many plights and maladies. Soon he meets a man who changes his life but the man is manipulative, violent and dangerous. Actually they're both sociopaths. Soon the violence spreads and the second man becomes very powerful due to his unlawful activities but beware because everything is a copy of a copy... heh heh heh Oh yeah, they both have an unusual hobby but the first rule is don't talk about it.
