Great movie! Big influence on Larry Cohen's equally corrosive Bone (1972).

If you miss it or don't have cable, you can watch it here:

Warren Beatty night is ongoing... coming up: The Parallax View & Ishtar

kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 10 August 2010 03:48 (fifteen years ago)

After A.O. Scott praised Ishtar as undervalued, I got curious again. Should I?

Robert Osborne is such a cool guy. I think he and Brian Lamb from CSpan are two of my favorite television personalities.

TTA has the most embarrassing drunk routine I've seen in a movie -- worse than Tom Cruise's in A Few Good Men.

haven't had a chance to prop read this thread, so it may have already been mentioned (even by me!), but the TCM 'Movie Morlocks' blog is consistently entertaining reading

Ward Fowler, Monday, 6 September 2010 15:49 (fifteen years ago)

I think I mentioned it in passing a while back.

Poldark City (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 6 September 2010 20:57 (fifteen years ago)

But had since forgotten about it, so thanks for the reminder.

Poldark City (James Redd and the Blecchs), Monday, 6 September 2010 20:57 (fifteen years ago)

jaymc never comes on this thread but if he did he might be able to back me up that Morlocks are always in crossword puzzles as a clue to ELOI, as in Merl Reagle's recent "Morlock menu mainstays."

They didn't invite Hoberman??? Would've been great to see The Girl From Chicago on TCM.

Kevin John Bozelka, Thursday, 7 October 2010 15:26 (fifteen years ago)

More like a Flaming Creatures / Rose Hobart double bill on TCM, amirite?

I love cinema. My favorite movies are Citizen Kane and the Boondock Saints (KMS), Friday, 8 October 2010 01:36 (fifteen years ago)

But I believe TCM actually did show Rose Hobart at one point. Or am I getting senile?

Kevin John Bozelka, Friday, 8 October 2010 04:08 (fifteen years ago)

I think you're right. I think that TCM may have shown several selections from the "Treasures From American Film Archives: 50 Preserved Films" dvd around the time that it was first released.
