If that's really the logic behind the trailer being taken down--for paid subscribers only--wow.

It may have gotten beyond the level of scraping the bottom of the DS franchise barrel, at this point. I haven't heard of anyone who actually subscribes to that service. I own all the DVDs so there is no point in it for me.

I've always been curious about the infamous DS documentary that was shown or produced for the Sci Fi network. From what I vaguely recall about it, that was in epically bad taste but it did make people stay awake...

This is actually a positive review of a screening of some footage from the remake.

I have no interest, but I know there are some of you who are fascinated. I guess Tilda is in the role originally played by Joan Bennett.

This is a well done interview with Parker Posey. Her role in the remake is discussed in the broader context of her career. I was amused that she asked another actress if she thought they were doing an episode of Columbo.

This was one I missed back then--it echoes some of the same themes as CROWHAVEN FARM. THE LAST BRIDE OF SALEM (1974).

I first heard about it maybe 8 or 9 years ago.

That's an interesting rumor. It seems as if Jonathan spent quite a bit of time in Mexico at some point in the Seventies, though I have no idea of the chronology. I think he was in NYC in '73, though. People who have copies of the Malia Howard biography (which was reprinted a couple of years ago) might know. Her focus was his career, not anything in his life that didn't involve the career, so I have no idea.

Yes, he was the boom microphone operator. I'd never heard that "Mr Juggins" was in reference to one of the tech guys. What a riot! Thanks, Midnite, for sharing that. Frid tells the audience that he wished Max would write a book about his time working on DS. Max unfortunately did not get to tell very many stories at this event.

One thing that came through several times is that they all remembered DS as a very special experience. Even when it was "pure bedlam," it was like no other work experience anyone had ever had. That was why the technicians were interested in coming back to talk about it.

In his panel, Addison Powell did express bewilderment as to why anyone remembered the show and was still interested in it. They tried to explain it to him. I don't think he was convinced.

According to the blurb, Michael Stroka plays a character named Quentin in this one. Director John Sedwick from DS was on board, too.
