Current Talk '15 II / Best of Angelique

« on: August 21, 2015, 09:29:45 PM »

Hi Fans,

The new MPI BEST OF QUENTIN and BEST OF ANGELIQUE sets have hit various online and retail outlets. The Amazon pricing has the Quentin disc at half price, while the Ange disc is priced at 11.99.

There's a note from a fan dated the middle of last month stating that the episode of Ange's debut (involving the arrival of herself and the Countess at the Old House in 1795) has been restored for the disc.

Has anybody seen it, and can they comment on the restoration? In the UK, the BBC has been restoring color and image quality on episodes of DR WHO that exist only in old videorecordings where the master reels had been destroyed. Wondering if a comparable degree of quality was achieved for this.

Thanks, G.

I think it's similar to how a friend shared some BATMAN episodes with me over the New Year's holiday some months back. You can store the material on a "cloud" service or a website and then if you're standing in line somewhere or on an airplane or whatever, you can watch it.

It shouldn't take up RAM on your computer. You might want to google one of the phrases you quoted and there is probably information someone has provided on how this works.

Current Talk '15 II / An Anniversary

« on: July 19, 2015, 06:59:32 PM »

Ah, July 19--a date that will live in history! On this date 49 years ago, July 19, 1966, the Introduction of Bleedervalve Collins occurred. Television would never be the same again. Episode 17 of DARK SHADOWS had seen the light of day.

Here's to automotive safety--and to DS, forever pushing the frontiers--other series relied on the tried and true mechanics of the "missing spark plug" scenario, but Dan Curtis and Art Wallace went out on a limb and created Bleedervalve... a truly legendary icon in the annals of American series.

cheers,

G.

Just seeing this now, so it may be too late. The thing to note about Lovecraft is that he wrote in a heavily literary style with lots of elaborate descriptions. So you might want to start with just one story and if you like that, try a couple more.

"The Dunwich Horror" was the inspiration for the DS Leviathan storyline--and was made into a fun film (well, *I* think it's fun) with Dean Stockwell, Sandra Dee and Sam Jaffe around the same time (1970).

A couple more that I think are good: "The Call of Cthulhu," "Dreams in the Witch-house," and "The Whisperer in Darkness." I remember "Through the Gates of the Silver Key" being bizarre and fun but it's been around 30 years since I last read it. It's described as being co-written by HPL and another writer, but the other writer only contributed one paragraph--which I believe HPL completely re-wrote so the style would match up.

Best, G.

Well, Barbara Hershey is a very good actress, and Bradley "Bradders" James got pulses racing in some of his scenes in MERLIN--a series I barely watched, but it had some great talent on board (mostly wasted).

It definitely has potential. But television doesn't have a very good track record with this kind of material. If it were on Showtime or HBO there might be some hope. I didn't know A&E was even running drama series now. But then I'm really out of touch with current broadcasting.

I don't go to Festivals anymore, but I think it would be great if James Hall were invited. Apart from anything else, would be very interesting to hear his own account of what went down during his time on the show.

I'm very happy that John Karlen took over the role, since to me, he IS Willie. But I have to confess that when I finally got to see James Hall's episodes, I thought the performance had a compellingly unpleasant feel and some definite potential.

Current Talk '09 I / Re: Potential Sequels To DS Film With Johnny Depp

« on: July 03, 2015, 05:17:24 PM »

One thing that puzzled me at the time was how the initial comic book story (with a return of Angelique theme) in 2010-2011 had a finale that was very close to the ending of the 2012 movie. The comic came out as the movie was being prepared and then filmed, so I did wonder if there had been a script leak. I don't recall this ever being mentioned subsequently, but then, I haven't exactly done due diligence to keep up with press around the 2012 film.

dom, I would love to screen Penny Dreadful with you! The show is such fun.

A friend sent me this Tumblr link--it is a brief exposition on the resemblance of Witch Priestess Evelyn Poole's delightfully cozy home to our own dear house...

I agree with the statement that Depp Shadows has been quite polarizing. I for one detested it, both as a version of Shadows and in and of itself. It underlined for me why I don't bother with very many current movies.

On an OT note, for those who enjoy romantic historic drama, I thought the new version of FAR FROM THE MADDING CROWD was wonderful. Charming script, beautiful performances, stunning scenery--on every level, a delight.
