Bogie56 Posted July 4, 2016 Author Share Posted July 4, 2016 i'm at a loss for words as to the whys and can only offer condolences... if anything, i'd've thought STAGECOACH was in the public domain by now! I have my own dvd copy as replacement for a very old Elwy Yost TVO vhs recording, so I am personally very happy to get Table Rock! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laffite Posted July 4, 2016 Share Posted July 4, 2016 I apologize for gettin' salty, some films are just so bad it helps to lay it out in few, but extreme, terms. ... and with each successive poster it seems to be getting extremer and extremer ... I'm good with that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedya Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 i'm at a loss for words as to the whys and can only offer condolences... if anything, i'd've thought STAGECOACH was in the public domain by now! The Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998 set the copyright term at 95 years for anything published after 1 January 1923. So Steamboat Willie should theoretically be entering the public domain in 2023, which means we're due for more lobbying for another copyright term extension. Stagecoach won't become public domain until 2034. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted July 5, 2016 Author Share Posted July 5, 2016 Wednesday, July 6 Nice to see a night of Sam Peckinpah westerns. And here is my all time favourite… 11:30 p.m. The Wild Bunch (1969). Hard to believe but when this was released in Ontario it was restricted to 18 years or older and that was after they had cut 13 minutes out of it! And now it is on television uncut. In 1969 I saw this in the theatres in Florida uncut. I was then 13. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkblue Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Don't miss 'The Ballad of Cable Hogue' (1970). It's the treasure of the month. Jason Robards Jr. made a few westerns in the latter part of the 60's - and as much as I enjoyed him as the outlaw "Cheyenne" in 'Once Upon a Time in the West' (and I did, very much - he was my favorite character in that opus) , this movie from a couple years later is probably the best western he ever made. In fact, it's one of the best performances of his entire career. I believe it was shortly after this that he had his near-fatal car crash from which his face had to be completely reconstructed. As good a job as was done, he never looked quite the same to me after that - a certain immobility in his face resulted. Not a great thing for even as gifted an actor as Robards.. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 Thursday, July 7/8 2:45 a.m. The Conversation (1974). This Coppola film with Gene Hackman is my pick of the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bogie56 Posted July 8, 2016 Author Share Posted July 8, 2016 Saturday, July 9/10 3:45 a.m. Roller Boogie (1979). A speedracer favourite. 5:30 a.m. approx. Summer of ’63 (1963). “Teens on the make spread syphilis among their friends.” The gift that keeps on giving apparently. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer of ’63 (1963). “Teens on the make spread syphilis among their friends.” The gift that keeps on giving apparently. To paraphrase Linda Blair: "I don't want to go to Julliard! Instead, I'm going to learn roller disco so I can compete in the roller boogie contest!" The lead actor in this film is probably one of the worst actors ever. However, "Roller Boogie" cracks me up. I do love roller disco movies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyCronin Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I must agree with speedracer on this. Having seen Roller Boogie around college graduation, it most surely is THE BEST roller disco movie ever made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen Roller Boogie around college graduation, it most surely is THE BEST roller disco movie ever made. Imo, it's the second best behind Xanadu. I love Xanadu. It has everything you could want in a movie: great pop music soundtrack; neon; Greek Gods; magic; roller skating; Gene Kelly playing the clarinet; Gene Kelly roller skating; everything!

It has everything you could want in a movie: great pop music soundtrack; neon; Greek Gods; magic; roller skating; Gene Kelly playing the clarinet; Gene Kelly roller skating; everything! Uh-oh...Someone got me started on Xanadu. Dang, is that a good movie. I'll have to save the culturally-avenging love for that movie for my own blog. (Ie. "You wouldn't say 42nd St. is 'too 30's' or Footloose is 'too 80's', so why is this 'too 70's'?") Except that there's a brief scene where Kelly is dancing through a giant pinball-machine room, and I looked at it thinking, "Wait...Is he trying to do Fred Astaire's 'Shine on Your Shoes' penny-arcade dance from The Band Wagon?" By that point, I wouldn't put it past him. But every time I hear the usual "roller disco" jokes about the movie, I always joke, "Oh yeah, what's that movie where Gene Kelly's on roller skates, and they're looking for the girl, and there's this crazy cartoon scene in the middle?...Oh, I remember: 'Anchors Aweigh'!" (Okay, so the skating was in "It's Always Fair Weather", close enough.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
