TheGizWiz Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yes, it's a dream come true! We're doing a night of movie satires, Wednesday, October 9th, 2013. As MAD's Maddest Writer, I've written an awful lot of movie satires, almost 150 of them. So on Wednesday night I get to chat with Robert Osborne about some of my favorites. We're doing four movies in a row, so the evening will start at 8 PM and end early the next morning. (It starts at 5 PM, West Coast Time) Here's the schedule: 8:00 PM EDT/ 5:00 PM PDT Love And Death (1975) // 9:30 PM EDT / 6:30 PDT Murder by Death (1976) // 11:15 PM EDT / 8:15 PDT /Support Your Local Sheriff! (1969) // 1:00 AM EDT / 10 PM PDT This Is Spinal Tap (1984). There's a picture of Robert and myself in TCM living room here: http://gizwizbiz.squarespace.com/****-blog-log/. Hope you can tune in. (No 3D glasses necessary.) Dick DeBartolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could find a good DL of all those vintage MAD paperbacks that made me howl with laughter.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 What? Me worry?...about this not being a great programing move on TCM's part? (...no way, dude...lookin' forward to it, Mr. DeBartolo...thanks for the heads-up here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Awesome I think a few heads just exploded over at the 'who else doesn't care for' thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaveGirl Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Why, what a coincidence...I was bored the other night and rooted through my garage to find my set of reprints of the old EC Comics line of William Gaines and now I find to my delight a Mad connection to look forward to on TCM. How utterly maddening... Thanks, Mister D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGizWiz Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 I'm so excited, I'm thinking of going door-to-door to tell folks tonight's the night I co-host an evening of movie satires with the incredible Robert Osborne, But I figured this is the place where the real TCM fans are! I wanted to post a picture of Robert, Sean Cameron, who produced the evening, and myself - but I don't see an icon to upload a photo. Yet, I do see photos on other pages. Any suggestions? Yes, Me Worry, or is that excitement? Thanks! Dick De, MAD's Maddest Writer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGizWiz Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks for info on how to upload a photo. I think I've got it. Uploading (hopefully) a photo of Sean Cameron, (producer of tonight's movie satires segment), Dick D (me) and the always wonderful Robert Osborne. If there's no photo here. Sorry about that.

DownGoesFrazier Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I haven't yet mastered the distinction between uploading and downloading. I DO know the difference between up and down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dabb Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Ok. Dick DeBartolo is hosting tonight. He's wearing socks, I can understand and am not put off by his speech, and his hair is combed. I like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clore Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 To TheGizWiz (and we won't even get into the implications of that user name): You did a fine job, I'd love to see you get a regular gig hosting movie spoofs. By the way, that line about Walter Brennan's false teeth in SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF was probably inspired by a running gag about Brennan's character in RED RIVER. He lost his teeth to a fellow player in a card game and has to borrow them every time he wants to eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownGoesFrazier Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 It would probably be easier just to have a diet of soup, oatmeal, and Ensure. Edited by: finance on Oct 10, 2013 3:30 PM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrroberts Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Mr DeBartolo, I applaud your choice of movies the other night. I like *Murder By Death* a lot, it has some great moments and its great seeing that cast together (Alec Guinness was particularly fun) and I always find Elsa Lanchester so delightfully quirky. Peter Falk was also a standout and just a year or so later he starred in Neil Simon's *The Cheap Detective* which was an even better film and a dead on satire of classic Bogart. So if you get another cohosting gig with RO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
