Current Talk '09 II / Willie Loomis

« on: November 16, 2009, 07:31:59 PM »

I've been catching up with the 'early episodes' and didn't realize there was a different actor who played Willie. How come this actor left?

Random thoughts on Willie: what a totally nasty bugger he was! Was he supposed to be the 'leader' of the blackmail stuff? I always thought that was Jason.

Did anyone think he sounded like he was speaking in a southern accent at first? Some of the lines really sounded like it to me.

Wasn't he supposed to be the nephew of Mrs. Johnson? When we first meet him, he was a stranger to her.

Well, that's it. I was just surprised at those few discoveries

Calendar Events / Announcements '09 I / Scarlet Street

« on: June 03, 2009, 04:49:07 PM »

I got a collection of 50 mystery movies from a recent library sale (for only $2!) and one of the features was Scarlet Street. This movie was directed by Fritz Lang and stars our Joan. Wow! This movie was SO good and her character was as different from Elizabeth Collins as you could get. This must have been during her heyday and I was impressed what a great actress she was. Her character wasn't really nice at all and Joan played it very well. I know a restored version of this movie was released and I would recommend a viewing. I don't think you'll be disappointed!

Current Talk '09 I / Pomegranate Press

« on: May 11, 2009, 06:10:30 PM »

Has anyone had any experience ordering some the DS books from PomPress? I sent in an order form with check over a month ago and haven't heard anything to date. My check hasn't even been cashed yet. I think it might still be sitting in the post office box waiting for someone to pick up.

Current Talk '09 I / House of Dark Shadows and Darkness at Blaisedon

« on: March 27, 2009, 03:09:43 PM »

I just got a pirated copy of HODS that was recorded from tv. Does anyone know how much was cut out? It seems like there should have been more to the story (especially true for NODS I thought). I remember seeing this at the theatre and was scared stiff and thinking how very, very different it was from the tv show. More violent, bloody, etc, which I didn't appreciate at the time.

I watched some old Charlie Chan movies and the dvd features contained a comparison of the old film and restored version. What a difference! Would love to see the same restoration applied to both these movies. Perhaps as we get closer to the new movie, they will be re-released that way.

Has anyone seen the movie Darkness at Blaisedon? Are there any dvd copies available anywhere? I only see one vhs copy available at amazon for over $30.

Current Talk '07 II / Once a vampire, always a vampire?

« on: December 11, 2007, 05:22:27 PM »

I'm currently watching all the DS episodes, courtesy of Netflix, and am up to where Vicky goes back in time with Jeff/Peter, Joe is losing it because he saw Chris turn into a werewolf and Quentin's spirit kills the medium that visits the house. Anyway, my question is did Barnabas ever change back into a vampire in further episodes? He hasn't shown his fangs since Julia 'cured' him and I was wondering if he ever went back. Last time I saw episodes of this show, I was a junior in high school and that was a long time ago and I can't remember.

Testing. 1, 2, 3... / can I have some help, please?

Hi: As I mentioned in another post to this board, I'm a new member. I've been looking around here for a few days and for the life of me I just can't figure out how to view only new posts since my last login. Can someone please tell me how I can do this? I would very much appreciate it!
