Agree, LostHorizons. "Hit your lights!" Ugh.
They seem so besotted by it all. "Look how much fun we're having as the guardians of classic film!" It comes across in equal amounts adolescent, crass, pretentious, embarrassing, gauche, hyper-corporate, and just plain stupid.

Liam, you won't be sorry.
Wait, let me put that another way. You'll be sorry but in a good way!

Re: What Horror and Sc-Fi films have you seen lately?
THE RETURN OF DRACULA -- clever vampiric version of Hitchcock's SHADOW OF A DOUBT. Mysterious relative visits family back home where the young female member, bored with her small-town life, idolizes the uncle/cousin but slowly comes to realize this person is not what he seems. Nifty "updates&qu...

Re: What Horror and Sc-Fi films have you seen lately?
It can all come out in the open now. I have been infatuated with Dudley Manlove as the alien Eros in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE for decades. Seeing this Ed Wood classic again, my emotions are still the same. Dudley's famous radio voice sends tingles down my spine with every stupid line of dialogue. &qu...

Re: What Horror and Sc-Fi films have you seen lately?
The 1959 JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH brought back conflicted memories since still to this day I am traumatized by what happens to Gertrude the Duck. James Mason's Scottish accent comes and goes. Mainly goes, but who cares. He's the perfect tweedy, fussy, obsessive Victorian scientist/explorer...

Re: WHAT HAPPENED TO 40 GUNS???
Just saw a new promo for Noir Alley (as if they didn't have enough of them) -- with Eddie Muller wearing some kind of 1940's camel hair coat, walking the streets of Frisco looking "tough". So silly and frankly tiresome already imo. Forgive my ignorance on these matters, but don't all these...

Highlights of the 70s list. Pared down a bit from the other thread's lists that I make to include only the ultimate highlights.

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
I still love the ending though. So deliciously ironic. William Faulkner worked on the script! Well it's certainly full of sound and fury... But I wouldn't say signifying nothing. (Yes, I know that part is from Shakespeare not Faulkner.) The sweetie and I watched it on Watch TCM with an introduction...

Re: MUSINGS, PONDERINGS, RUMINATIONS AND FANCIES
Looking forward to Robert Taylor in QUO VADIS. I like him (and his Nebraska accent) in these kinds of roles, lol. They should have had SAMSON AND DELILAH on this Mediterrean ticket. Hedy Lamarr's best (i.e. most animated) performance of her entire wooden career. Mature had a bigger bust than Hedy d...

Robert Stack is giving a wonderfully awful performance in HOUSE OF BAMBOO.

(maybe it could have worked with Gene Kelly, who was about 12 years younger than Fred)
