I also think I am about the only person on the planet who liked the new 2006 "Black Dahlia" - I liked it b/c it was done in an old fashioned genre and I could forgive the choppy nature and hasty tie up of loose ends at the end, simply for the fact that it was much like many of the '30s & '40s films that followed the same formula; but alas, back then folks were far more forgiving of putting a nice tidy end on everything. Plus it got HUGE bonus points with me cuz of the very good LA locale scenes and gritty feel. I was born 40 years too late!

Hitchcock did a brilliant riff for Cavett on a laxative commercial.

Haven't finished the Hitch interview, and I taped the Lon Chaney double feature last night.

I assume all these are in the Cavett DVDS.

Tom'w morning at 4:45, The Old Dark House, maybe James Whale's best film aside from Bride of Frankenstein.
Sirk's Tarnished Angels (his gloss on Faulkner's Pylon) Sat at 2:15pm.
Sunday night at 10:15, Living It Up, probably the best Martin & Lewis movie I've seen -- Jerry thinks he's dying of radiation poisoning after wandering onto a nuclear test site (only in a '50s comedy)...

Anyway, Jailhouse Rock (which I have never seen) tonight at 6.
Masque of the Red Death looks like the best thing they're showing on Halloween.

Haven't seen this since high school but I remember liking its hysterical campness as being oddly faithful to Poe's style.
Didn't see Hitch. :(

It helps if you are (or were) Catholic perhaps, it has an aura of REAL transgressive Evil, as much as Rosemary's Baby or Night of the Demon maybe.
Whenever Masque usta screen in NY in all its widescreen glory, it always had Japanese (I think) titles running at the side of the print.
Speaking of Poe, I notice that I aciidentally taped a short adaptation of The Tell-Tale Heart last night -- directed by Jules Dassin! Does TCM include the shorts sched in its program guide? They never seem to be on the website.

I would have put this on a Joseph Losey thread, but I couldn't find one.

Joe, Duck Soup is easily their best film, cuz McCarey unleashed them in a cinematic way. Oh man, if you thought Animal Crackers was stagey and slow, have a few drinks before The Cocoanuts (also a Broadway hit for them) -- the camera hardly moves cuz the sound cameras were so huge, and it was directed by a guy who didn't speak English. Fast-forwarding to the Bros' gags is fine there... In the MGM films, the Marx plot utterly stops every 10 minutes so the romantic leads can take over -- deadly in its own glossy way.
I think Price is hilarious (intentionally so) in House of Usher, tonight after Masque. Might try to stay up for Phibes (never seen!) if I don't go to an Almodovar film at BAM.
