Kay Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 (NPG says premiere, but I know I've seen before) Yeah, I seem to recall that it was pulled at the last minute when it was scheduled before.

TikiSoo Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Phase IV (1974) Scientists at a remote desert base discover that ants are preparing to conquer the world.

Does it get better (or even funnier) as it goes along? Where are the Satellite of Love guys when you need them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Saul Bass being the Director... he focused more on visual presentations rather than story. You have to be a little more on the geeky side to appreciate it's offerings. I think it would make a good triple-threat with THEM! and The Naked Jungle (1954) Link to post Share on other sites

LawrenceA Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I haven't seen either yet, Tiki, but I'm planning on recording them both. I've heard of Killer Party, and it's on DVD from Warner Archives. I had never heard of Punk Vacation until it was on the schedule. My educated guess would be that they are both probably dreadful. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
TikiSoo Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 Thanks for your input Lawrence. If they turn out to be great, I'll just see them when TCM repeats them. In the meantime, I can catch the routine schlock on COMET. Last night I was mesmerized with 1992's dreadful HIGHWAY TO HELL. You don't even need to see these movies in their entirety to enjoy the pomposity. Highlight (but didn't understand) was a scene with about a hundred vintage VW Beetles driving across a desert flat shot from above! Bet the producer was a member of a Beetle collector club. Man, there was just a plethora of awful teen "scary" movies in the 80's & 90's. And they are very popular with Gen X & younger horror fans! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If you watch a few of those 80's teen slasher/horror films in a row, you realize that they just kept making the same movie over and over again, with the faces changing (barely). I remember Highway to Hell. It had demonic highway patrolmen with mirror-shades bolted onto their faces and symbols carved into the skin of their faces. Those guys and the VW armada in the desert are about the only things I recall. Link to post Share on other sites

LawrenceA Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Have there been no TCM Underground premieres since November? Have they just given up on bringing new titles in? Underground seems like it would be the easiest schedule to program for. Link to post Share on other sites
film lover 293 Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Lawrence--Check "TCM Premieres" thread in "General Discussions"--"Terminal Island" (1973) is an "Underground" premiere. Link to post Share on other sites
LawrenceA Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Lawrence--Check "TCM Premieres" thread in "General Discussions"--"Terminal Island" (1973) is an "Underground" premiere. Oh, okay. This thread just stopped being updated? I thought a few this month might have been premieres. I wasn't sure if Penitentiary had been shown before. The Hidden and The Terminal Man next week, and Scanners the week after. I've seen them all, so maybe that's why I'm disappointed, although I highly recommend a couple of them (The Hidden & Scanners) for those who haven't seen them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
mr6666 Posted January 15, 2017 Author Share Posted January 15, 2017 To Lawrence: Frankly, I kinda lost interest in much of the new 'Underground' film programming. Just not to my interest. I'll keep posting them, when possible, in the 'Premieres' thread though. & you're correct on 4 premieres in Jan. (NONE of which are mentioned in NPG) And that's supposedly NO to "Penitentiary", I double checked w/MC's data... -but then NOthing's perfect, Right?? --Anyone is welcome to start one for 2017 1 Link to post Share on other sites
