Calendar Events / Announcements '16 II / Bella Heathcote in THE NEON DEMON
« on: June 23, 2016, 09:31:22 PM »
Reading my weekly issue of the DigBoston paper over lunch today, I was surprised to see Bella Heathcote mentioned in a villainous role in the new film by the latest hot auteur, Nicholas Winding Refn, The Neon Demon:

https://digboston.com/staring-contest/

Bella is featured in this video showcasing the director and some of the stars, including Christina Hendricks, alumna of the cult series Mad Men, a Sixties themed show which referenced DS in one episode.

http://www.comingsoon.net/movies/trailers/697593-neon-demon-cast#/slide/1

Another DS related note about Refn is that reports were posted a month or so ago claiming he is planning a remake of Suspiria, the Dario Argento cult film which was Joan Bennett's last feature film.

Wow, that would be fab if "The House" screening actually happens this time.  I would love to see this included as an extra on one of MPI's releases.  The other one I would love to see is the 1966 CRUCIBLE with Thayer and Clarice.  That was supposed to be shown at one of the Festivals long ago, but I think I heard that the screening failed to materialize.

Nice to see Nick Besink and the others attending, too.

Hope it is a great time for all who are attending. I am unable to make it.

Best, G.

Oh yes.  The good Professor was keen to see a rare early edition of THE FEDERALIST in Liz's private library.  No doubt a family heirloom... Joshua's conversations with the Countess leave one in no doubt whatsoever that he was well read in such matters as were discussed in the pages of that publication.

Although this isn't directly DS related, this newish series about the Manson Family begins with episodes set in 1967. The themes include the Summer of Love, San Francisco hippies, and a lot of things we were hearing about when DS hit big.  The show also stars David Duchovny who I think has a following here.

I haven't watched the show, but my friend who wrote this review said it's available through the Flicks of Net.

It's not surprising that they never showed the library.  I mean, they never even showed a washroom, and I'm sure there were several.  Sometimes I think of Liz's personal powder room as being very dainty, French Regency, afloat in shades of lavender and blue.

Calendar Events / Announcements '16 II / Semi OT: The Future Mrs. Thayer David
« on: June 17, 2016, 03:03:33 AM »
Fans,

Thayer David's future wife, Valerie French, is featured in this 1959 B-movie thriller, THE FOUR SKULLS OF JONATHAN DRAKE:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGqUl7qB-z0

Valerie reminds me a little of Alexandra here.  Her marriage to Thayer happened around ten years after this picture was released. Legendary character actor Henry Daniell is also on hand in a minor supporting role.

The circ info says that 10 copies are available--it should mean just of this set which is a lot, but it may mean total number of sets of DS.  One might have to ask one of the ref librarians for clarification.  I see that 6 are marked available and there are 2 holds marked.

It's really very nice to see just how popular DS continues to be with the public.

A friend who lives in Portland OR says that the library has many, perhaps all, of the DS DVD sets, but they are so popular they are almost never actually in the building.  He was able to watch one of the Beginning sets featuring part of the Laura 1967 storyline which is his favorite, sometime last Wnter.

Current Talk '15 I / Re: DS episodes scheduled for Decades network broadcast
« on: June 09, 2016, 01:32:07 AM »
I saw on FaceBeast today that "Decades" is going to run their relay of DS episodes again to celebrate the DS 50th anniversary.  I presume it will be the same chunk that starts with the release of Barn from his coffin and ends up somewhere later on in the 1967 storyline.

I don't know the dates but presumably someone who is into it will do a thread for this.

Current Talk '16 II / Re: Why Do We Hate Certain Characters?
« on: June 08, 2016, 08:24:28 PM »
I love all the ones in the poll.  It's hard not to fast forward through any and every Roger Davis scene but there are the actor actors in the scene to look at and enjoy.

Sometimes Lisa Richards gets on my nerves because apart from traumatized Sabrina in 1969, her other two characters (recovered Sabrina and PT Sabrina) were written as such drips.  I do think Lisa is an excellent actress and it was just poor writing that is responsible for the annoyance.

I don't "hate" Craig Slocum but I do wonder why on Earth he's there.  What is he supposed to be doing?  No real answer.

Jerry Lacy is one whose characters I LOVE to hate.  LOL.

Interesting comparison, Doctor & K9.  Both were certainly larger than life--onscreen and off!

I love the Tom Baker interviews where he talks about what it's like being a living god.  He has a great sense of humor about things.

Well, Me-TV isn't an Amazon product or service... for all I know, their customer service representatives may be instructed not to answer questions about matters that do not relate to Amazon's products.

That's so sweet about Matthew being a Grayson fan.  What excellent taste! 

A lot of Who fans have been very critical of Matthew's acting in the Tom Baker Who series, but I enjoyed his work at the time and it's always a treat to see one of his episodes again.  A year or so ago I had the chance to watch Earthshock, his finale on Who, and it was great!
