Yes, Hibi, the proverbial Hollywood license knows no bounds...

Another example that comes to mind for me: blond and tall John Schneider cast as shorter and darker Michael Landon in MICHAEL LANDON The Father I Knew!?

The late eruption of KRAKATOA EAST OF JAVA in the United States is said to have occurred at the C I N E R A M A dome 55 years ago on this day... Quentin Tarantino later recreated the theater's facade for his ONCE UPON A TIME IN... HOLLYWOOD : https://thenewbev.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Krakatoa...

Though IMDb offers May 19, 1924, as the New York City premiere of "BROADWAY AFTER DARK" , I'm confident that the movie was already playing at GRAUMAN'S RIALTO theater, which was located on S. Broadway in Los Angeles, one-hundred years ago: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/M/MV5BZjRiOTVjZW...

Nick's suicidal tendencies seen in THE DEER HUNTER are manifested in Russian roulette gunplay:



The controversial scenes in the 1978 movie are said to have inspired copycat yields.

Damn, Dargo, I wish I'd come up with that one! So NS, you fellow ol' SoCal boy, you. Can you tell me where the exterior shots were filmed in this flick and as Eddie G. walks toward that assisted suicide building?

Honestly don't have to double-check: the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena!! (I think. ;) ) Yep, that's it! Or, at least WAS it, anyway. 'Cause as I'm sure you know, that location is now where they would build that stadium where they play that game in which almost all players aren't allow to use th...

I love the poignant film friendship of Sol and Thorn... Interesting anecdote to the SOYLENT GREEN duo, Dargo, which you're almost certainly already familiar: Charlton Heston eulogized Edward G. Robinson!! Yep, Eddie G. died within a few weeks of its post-production, as I recall. However, there's ab...

When I hear the opening strains of Beethoven's 6th (Pastoral) Symphony, still to day and after over 50 years of first watching it unfold on the silver screen, I sometimes think back to how Edward G. Robinson decided to end his life in the film 'Soylent Green'... https://youtu.be/SW4-jcTnjLo And now...

Dargo, would not be surprised to read that you'd attended the following CONQUEST contest to promote the 1972 installment: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/81/2d/ac/812dacf5cd52ec286788732f0edfb82c.jpg Heck, wouldn't be surprised if you'd subbed for Gary Owens during some of that day!!

I'm considering going to KINGDOM of the pLANET of the ApES this week but, if I do, it will be purely perfunctory yield. I was a child during the original releases of the first five films, so motion-capture technology cannot recapture those early years of the franchise for me... They looked so good: ...
