Didn't see either. Breaking weekend silence to say: Val Lewton doc presented by Scorsese and directed by Ken Jones is on Monday at 8, "Followed by a Ten-Film Marathon."

Encore at midnight.

i had never seen death race before. never will again, either.

remy bean, Monday, 14 January 2008 03:08 (eighteen years ago)

I DVRed The Woman In White a while back during their salute to Eleanor Parker and I am finally peeping it out. I didn't know Robert Burks got his start as a special effects photographer.

James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 14 January 2008 04:32 (eighteen years ago)

There's a familiar-looking UK character actor that I couldn't place for a while, but I just figured it out- he played some kind of Alien Alderman on Star Trek TOS.

James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 14 January 2008 04:34 (eighteen years ago)

John Abbott. Not quite as long a resume as Mr. Atoz, Ian Wolfe, but still kept pretty busy.

James Redd and the Blecchs, Monday, 14 January 2008 04:39 (eighteen years ago)

Lewton doc should be good. Apparently he wrote pornography.

Dr Morbius, Monday, 14 January 2008 14:09 (eighteen years ago)

They should get Robert Osborne and Carrie Fisher to read some of it.

Rock Hardy, Monday, 14 January 2008 14:58 (eighteen years ago)

some idiot TV reviewer said it was porn; apparently just pulp. Nice to see Kiyoshi Kurosawa testifying!

Cagney musicals tom'w night include at least two better than the Cohan one: Footlight Parade and Love Me Or Leave Me.

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 15 January 2008 15:29 (eighteen years ago)

Perhaps it's finally time to catch up with The 7 Faces of Dr. Lao.

James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 8 February 2008 21:23 (eighteen years ago)

A pretty dull weekend slate. I haven't seen Voyage Of The Damned in 31 years...

Dr Morbius, Friday, 8 February 2008 21:28 (eighteen years ago)

I think I saw Faye Dunaway's cheekbones in the photo over there. Was that movie promoted with one of those disaster movie posters with a Hollywood Squares grid featuring all the stars at the bottom?

James Redd and the Blecchs, Friday, 8 February 2008 21:31 (eighteen years ago)

I wonder how the censorship doc was (old)?

Dr Morbius, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 20:33 (eighteen years ago)

I watched the 2nd half of that -- not bad. Gable was a real badass. I'm fascinated by pre-Code Hollywood, the racier the better. (xpost)

Rock Hardy, Tuesday, 4 March 2008 20:38 (eighteen years ago)

Dr Morbius, Friday, 2 May 2008 22:09 (eighteen years ago)
