I watched, "Dark and Stormy Night", then with the director and 2-3 actors cut.
I believe everyone in this film knew each other on some level; the basics are from Boston.
The leading lady (newswoman to D. Roebuck's newsman) is in reality the writer's/director's wife.

The movie is fun and funny. Jim Beaver told the writer/director he wanted to be in something funny, so he was asked immediately.

I'm still watching the 1932 'Dark House', it is frickin' off the wall.

There's one thing off-topic which I have to say:

Watch it....there's a scene with a Betty-Boop type actress. She & Melvyn Douglas go to his car to get some whiskey.

The entire scene....this actress  ABSOLUTELY MUST BE CLOSELY RELATED TO CLAIRE KRAMER. Every, EVERY part of her face, all the expressions, eyes, mouth, nose. If this were a current movie, I'd say, "Oh, there's Claire Kramer, with her hair cut & dyed dark".

Boris Karloff....aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
lovelovelovelove
what a friggin whack-a-doodle-doo pic this is!!!! (Are we absolutely SURE LSD wasn't around in 1932?)

I thought Ned and Sabrina were 1968:
[spoiler] They came to 'see' Chris, and we are fed the werewolf story [/spoiler]

What about the ?family? crypt, which (ha-ha) houses:

Laura
Stockbridge
Murdoch
yada
yada
YADA
YADA

.....get it....?

And, I may be forgetting, but do we see The Blue Whale
[spoiler] after Barn goes back AGAIN to 1796 and 'encounters' Nathan Forbes[/spoiler]


Also, I always forget the name of the 'mansion', which Elizabeth is I believe going to give Vicki as a wedding gift (can't remember who she's marrying), but can't, because yada stay in the family....

Then I'm SHOCKED they DIDN'T send me an offering....I know what you mean.

Speaking of 'not heard of' infamous flicks, two times in a 10-day period, I heard of "The Old Dark House", which I now *think* is a genre-type of nowadays, but, 1932 had this movie, starring Boris Karloff.

I cannot believe I've never heard of it, but again, TWICE in such a short spance...I went to Amazon, ordered it, and it comes up with the usual "People who have bought this often buy ______________"...and there is a movie called, "Dark and Stormy Night" (or that's close).
It has Daniel Roebuck (Cliff, from Matlock), and the price was right, so I ordered them both.
IT ALSO HAS JIM BEAVER!!!!!!!
Plus, I forget his name, but the senior sales guy in "Poltergeist" AND a brief little appearanceS by Betty Garrett (was Irene on All in the Family, and married "Laverne's dad" on "Laverne & Shirley").
It's soooooooooo bad, that it's good. I don't think it'll catch on say the way "Rocky Horror" did, but, if it's on your Netflix, et. al., I'd say watch it.

I'm waiting for tomorrow night to watch "Old Dark House."

What's sad (or, maybe NOT) is that this week, here outside Atlanta, the newsstations have been mentioning the cutbacks to TNT, HLN, other 'Titan-types'.
But, again, perhaps it's because more & more (mostly young) peeps won't pay for a gazillion TV stations they don't want; they're just doing the Hulu or Netflix, etc.

"Very what"....

Surprising, sad, mad (truly mad, as in rabid, not angry).

So strange seeing Eddie G. in that role.

"Jeepers, I love you too!"

Yes, the end is very..............  [skull_winks]

Once in a great while, fans of older movies (like myself) have a chance to see certain actors in extremely different rolls which I'd never seen before.
EDDIE G. Is THE MAN

His wife...well, there's one or two words, which women usually only say 8-10 times in their lives, she could break the bank. HOW WAS SHE SO STUPID TO NOT RECOGNIZE HER OWN HUSBAND'S PAINTINGS??? Stupid bitch, if I'd been there, I'd back-hand her into next week. grrrrr!!!

I wasn't able to log on via my smart phone.
It would have the DS click here to get started, then a very small print (approximately, we can't display this page now) on a while screen.
I was able to go on Amazon, my town's Site, my town's Newspaper site, etc.

So, since more than a few cousins recommended I get "Scarlett Street" starring Joan Bennett and
EDDIE ROBINSON

I finally watched it.....oish

Seeing Eddie G. 'hen-pecked' and putting on frilly aprons, was very.....?

Reading the back of the movie and finding out what/who Ms. Bennett plays was very......?

That's the third Fritz Lang movie I've bought and watched.

Sorry, but, I do believe it will be the last.

Eddie G. is a god...

Testing. 1, 2, 3... / <OT/Printer Question
« on: October 02, 2014, 06:39:37 PM »
We have a pretty decent printer (HP 3522), but it runs out of ink too quickly.
My husband said it's because we (the whole family) were not turning it on/off properly.
I know how to do it, but the kids don't want to wait a whole 20-30 seconds.
Is there a way to password protect printer (i.e., Walt or I would have to put in password before it could be used)?
We all know, if you have to buy BOTH color and black cartridges, it's a little more cost-effective to just buy a new printer.

Thanks,
Patti

from IMDb
In 1971, the original Alice Cooper Group, being greatly inspired by Frye's "Renfield" character in Dracula (1931), further immortalized him in their song "The Ballad of Dwight Fry" (without the "e"). The nearly seven-minute conceptual composition appears on their "Love It To Death" album.

I just read this after my above post....it's very timely, wouldn't you say?? :)

Current Talk '14 II / "It's the Most Scarriest Time...."
« on: September 15, 2014, 09:46:56 PM »
Alright, this weekend and last weekend, watching some vampire-type movies.

Two weeks ago, it was the TNT 2004 re-do of Stephen King's "Salem's Lot". I hadn't seen it much on TV, so I bought it a few years ago. I have not seen the David Soul/Lance Kerwin version in over 20 years.

Funny, I believe it's Andre Braugher's (humminy humminy!) character that is in hospital and telling...someone? that a vamp cannot just enter someone's home....needs to be invited in. I swear that the very next scene was Rutger Hauer is just in ?Mark's house, climbing on ceiling; while Mark's mom is telling James Cromwell to get away from her son. No one invited RH in....lol

Anywho....this weekend was the 1931 Dracula. You know, where you NEVER see fangs.
I really thought the helper was RenFREW, not Renfield or something close. But, thanks to my friends on DS Boards, I knew Mina and Lucy.
I just looked on IMDb and it's Dwight Frye who plays Renfield. I don't believe I ever noticed him before; when he's playing 'nuts', he is fantastic (again, this is 1931, waaaaayyyy before method acting; only a couple of years into 'speaking films').
When I put this disc in, I was quite stunned (as in lmao) when the two options were "Dracula" or Spanish version "Dracula" (I swear, that's exactly what was printed on the beginning of DVD.)

After watching, I did the screenwriter/director (one in the same) listening....he mentions how far Brahm Stoker would have to stretch to recognize his not that old character.

When Renfield comes to 'Transylvania', he mentions to the Count that he hopes he brought enough shipping labels; Dracula replies he is only bringing three 'crates' with him.

These three are FILLED with the long ago mentioned 'vampires native soil'.
This of course made me try to remember; I remember when Barnabas dies, the few people who know treat it as a 'plague' type, because it was so sudden, nothing familiar about his symptoms.

Now, here's the FDSMS: did they put Barn's 'box' in the crypt which, behind it, is the 'hidden room' built to hide from Red Coats during Revolutionary War? I'm quite unclear.
I 'believe' after, we'll says bye Naomi....I know that Joshua cannot kill his dead son (yep, said that on purpose!!), he chains him I *thought* in the tower room, right????

I think all of us grew up on the vampire having like a handful of dirt in their 'habitation', but not three coffins full (I'm trying to remember the Hammer films etc.).

I cannnnnooooooooootttttttt S T A N D all the newer vamps, which can go in sun, don't mind garlic et. al.

Clarity please,

Patti
