Just watched again and my admiration grows and grows.  I love the montage recalling earlier phases of  B & J's relationship (the one where she brushes her hair lightly with her fingers is so endearing), the way you edited the B & J scenes from this storyline, the wonderful Julia/Ang catfight, and that killer ending!

So when are we going to see 1995: Divided Loyalties? (or whatever)

A Fan Forever,

Steve

Thanks for posting that link.  Newman's comments on the DS pilot really hit the mark, particularly his words about backstage politics...

I keep going back to today's Montage (featuring the Many Screams, Shrieks, and Hurlings of Miss Sabrina Stuart) and just plain CACKLING.

My fedora is off to El Mysterioso yet again!

Current Talk '04 II / Re: The "V" word
« on: September 30, 2004, 09:44:05 PM »
[spoiler]When Barnabas dies in 1795, Angelique gets very nervous.  Very very nervous.  Ben asks her what's wrong, and she footles about, and eventually says:  "Have you ever heard the word VAMPIRE, Ben?"  So far as I know, it was the first mention of that word on the show.  I wondered whether DC had a policy to try and avoid it because I know he was aiming for more realism in the original Barnabas story.[/spoiler]

That's really nice to know, Fran.  I know Grayson was really fond of Tony and it's good to know he's had such a great life.

I wonder whether he has ever been invited to a Festival?  I really enjoyed his work on the series.

I thought Tony George had been listed in one of the early 90s KLS books--the original DS companion, perhaps? as already past tense.  Let's hope my memory is faulty (once again).

I just watched these episodes (on my handy videotapes, which are around ten years old but still play beautifully) and I thought The Briscoe was HAWT in that white turtleneck.

Sandor, did you see the one where Chris and Carolyn had come in after spending the evening out, and Chris talks about how "relaxed" he feels, and Caro has a line something like "Are you relaxed, Chris?" and he gives her a mischievous smile and says words to the effect of "Yes, and you should know why!"  I thought the actors were playing the scene as if there had been some hanky-panky between the two at that point, although my guess is Caro was too shrewd to let Chris go further than second base (lucky gal).

Too bad there was no scene of Chris lounging around the Cottage in a lurid bikini-brief bit of shorts--and nothing else!

dreamily, G.

Current Talk '04 II / Re: Using Footage of Joan Bennett's Movies on DS
« on: September 28, 2004, 05:45:46 PM »
Funny you should bring this up... I just watched The Secret Beyond the Door, which was filmed in the late 1940s and directed by Fritz Lang, and of course starred JB.  If the rights thing had been able to be worked out, and, of course, had the ABC technicians had better editing equipment available to them (you would not believe the editing set-up they had in 1967), it would have worked perfectly to have had a couple of snippets from Secret Beyond the Door as part of the 1949 flashbacks.

It's tempting to think of Secret as a lost episode of DS.  It has larger-than-life performances by a great ensemble cast (I particularly enjoyed the performances by Natalie Schafer and Anne Revere).  Michael Redgrave could be Barnabas with a slightly more raw, psychotic edge.  And Joan's voiceovers throughout really do give you that "Collinwood" feeling.

Sadly not available on DVD, but the VHS I got from the library looked gorgeous.

Jean-Claude, darling, put me on the guest list for your next bash.  I adore the hostess--AND her *divine* eyelashes!

I want a loop of Grayson saying the word "divine" in that Leviathans episode I can play on my computer when the minutiae of life grinds away at my last nerve.

Ooh, Vicki and Maggie set up a kinky girls clubhouse!  I dig it!  I always found that scene in that episode very poignant, given what I already knew the first time I watched it as an adult (I think I missed that episode during the original b'cast--I have this memory of being disappointed tuning in the day after and missing the spectral appearance of you-know-who).

I always thought they needed some scenes of the girls just hanging out, spinning 45s on their groovy little portable, burning incense sticks, maybe getting together some of the outasite snacks we used to have back then (anyone remember Whip 'n' Chill?), and razzing on one another's boyfriends ("Can you believe Joe took me out to that dump, the Blue Whale, AGAIN?")  It might have been fun to have them looking at the pin-ups in 16 magazine, too, sighing over Bobby Sherman, Paul Revere, and Sajid.

Beautiful work, DS to DA!  I thought the choice of clips and the music were woven together with exquisite grace.

More delighted ravings after I've run the promo about 500 times on my computer...

Calendar Events / Announcements '04 II / Oscars '65
« on: September 24, 2004, 08:32:15 PM »
Just thought I would ask this here, since there are a few knowledgeable collectors who come here from time to time:

Does anyone know a reasonably priced, reliable source for the 1965 Oscar broadcast video?  I know it's available somewhere, as I have seen jpgs from it on the Net.

Grayson Hall was present at the ceremony, and I read that she had in her personal collection a photograph of herself taken in the audience when her name was announced as a nominee for Supporting Actress.

Feel free to mail me off the boards at my email address:  shutt at fas dot harvard dot edu.

Many thanks,

Steve

Thanks for that link, Darren--I hadn't spotted that.

Boy, there sure are a lot of spoilers in that review!

Think I'll wait to borrow the library copy of this book.

Ooh, it's Miss October Penthouse Playmate!

hubba hubba!

You DEFIED me!  You DELIBERATELY defied ME!

Actually, I'll probably be up on the Farm in Ontario with my boyfriend that weekend.  In any event the LA fests are pretty much beyond my budget.  But I'll be there in spirit...
