Svengoolie's website says The Giant Claw, which has been on fairly recently. his beak looks like an elongated Chinese fortune cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely watch entire movies on here due to the long commercial interruptions though I do enjoy Sven's comedy bits and movie trivia. I like this movie but was disappointed to see some scenes totally cut out. Wow I did not realize that. I like some of the Sven breaks, well only when he gives Wiki back ground on the stars. The other stuff is schlock, but I like knowing there are still TV hosts willing to play for kids. It's what got me into old movies as a kid. But knowing there's stuff edited right out-THAT'S the horror! Mr Tiki & I watched VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED for the first time and it was OK, but I bet there were missing scenes in that too-it could have easily been better.

Lawrence just reviewed this 1974 TV movie of The Ten Commandments starring Burt. Lawrence wasn't impressed. Biblical pictures are less sordid than schlock, though. And what about this guy who didn't find his stride until a snow top: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I always thought Nielsen found his "stride" long before the cotton top. And until all the AIRPLANE and POLICE SQUAD stuff was pleasantly surprised to see his penchant for comedy. And have not so huge an ego to feel above getting laughs at apparently his expense. And I agree that much of Sven's schtick can get tiring, but now and then some actual comic genius shines through. Now, I'm not sure anything was edited out of VILLAGE OF THE DAMNED, been so long between viewings, and I've never seen the BURT LANCASTER "Comandments" TV mini series( called MOSES THE LAWGIVER) but it had to be better than the '95 mini-series MOSES with BEN KINGSLEY as Moses.

"B" productions or non-major studio offerings) and therefor little to nothing needs to be cut. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det Jim McLeod Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 A better than expected version of the werewolf legend. There is a scientific rather than supernatural reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to get some new (old) films, since he's already shown most of the usual subjects many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 That was a version I never cared for anyway, so I opted for some old LAW AND ORDER reruns. Sepiatone 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NipkowDisc Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 lee Meriwether as Losira woulda made a great 50 foot woman. who's belly button was prettier? Losira's or Zarabeth's? Mariette Hartley had a subtle hotness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Det Jim McLeod Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Here was a good sci fi film about a scientist who can walk through solid matter, including steel, but his touch becomes deadly. I hadn't seen this in many years, I saw the first half and bits of the second. The cast is great- Robert Lansing is the scientist, became well known for TV work, including "Twelve O'Clock High". He looks like he could be Robert Stack's brother. Lee Meriwether is Lansing's assistant. She looks great and was one of the better actresses to come from the Miss America pageants. She would also become a TV star, with guest spots on "Star Trek" and a regular role on "Barnaby Jones. And she played a very sexy Catwoman in the 1966 movie version of "Batman". Robert Strauss is a lecherous scientist with designs on Lee. He was best known for his Oscar nominated role as Animal in "Stalag 17. Most surprising is a very young Patty Duke as a little girl being babysat by Meriwether. This was before her Oscar winning "The Miracle Worker" and her self titled TV show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepiatone Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 And Duke looked surprisingly younger than her HELEN KELLER character in THE MIRACLE WORKER, which it seems, was made around the same time. Her small stature did help her get many roles of girls much younger than she actually was. But I didn't particularly think the movie was all that good. In spite of my being a fan of Robert Lansing since 12 O'CLOCK HIGH. AND a fondness for ROBERT STRAUSS from his many engaging movie character roles.

This is much better than I expected with an interesting plot twist. Not as good as the producer's previous movie, "The Blob", but still much better than the average sci-fi of this era. And thank you for noticing, what I've noticed for years, that Robert Lansing looks a lot like my favorite TV star, Eliot Ness. LOL 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didja ever notice that Ness guy has a very close resemblance to that actor ROBERT STACK who starred with John Wayne in THE HIGH AND THE MIGHTY? Wonder if they're related some how.......
