I'm sure the suit dude could only remember "port" and said "Portland" in lieu of "Collinsport."

btw, for those who enjoy reading behind the scenes stuff about the insane world of Ho'wood, there's a hysterical piece about big producer and hair stylist Jon Peters in the current Vanity Fair.  Apparently Peters is literally an illiterate.  It's wild stuff.

That's a wonderful gallery of Camilla Ashland's DS performances, MB.  Now, if we just had a shot of her as Joanna Mills' landlady, the gallery would be complete!  Not that I'm dropping hints or anything...

I love the shot of Mrs P being welcomed by Liz, and seriously hoping that the luscious pair of legs I'm ogling to the right end of the frame *aren't* those of Roger Davis...

The costume ball sequence really was the high point of the movie, wasn't it?  I want to go home now and freeze frame my way through my VHS of the movie although that often just results in blurry, distorted images.

MB. this is truly priceless and beyond words hysterical--on every level!

It's like Martin Scorcese visits Collinsport.  Oh, the unbridled rage!  the steaming levels of testorone!

I'm loving the dreadful symphony of horrid fabrics represented by Bruno's ranch poodle jacket, Jeb's nightmarishly textured sweater, and the hair of both men, especially Jeb's raging carrot-top coiffure.

Unspeakably evil!

Thanks for those, MB.  Such great moments featuring that beacon of warmth and conviviality, Sarah Johnson!

You know too how much I adore today's snap of LeviaLiz at her most coldly hostile.  The yin and yang between Willie's delighted cluelessness and Liz's quietly seething asperity has always made this yet another favorite moment from the Leviathan story for me.

Just grand stuff...

Maybe it's practice for his re-staging of the Barnabas Collins: Attorney at Law segment from 1840???

Hi Miss Winthrop, that series is actually called Thriller.  Some of the episodes were shown in a later evening slot (maybe on Thursday nights?) as the ABC Mystery Movie, I believe.  (The same slot in which Grayson's lost film with Diana Davila, The Two Deaths of Sean Doolittle, aired.)

I am hoping to get the remainder of the shows from the UK, since A & E never issued any of the remaining episodes over here in the US.  I love Diana Dors' episode, The Devil's Web (aka "Nurse will make it better")--it has a very DS feel to it...

I just watched a couple more clips from Penny's recent Season Seven, and does that gal ever deserve an award!

Unlike the horror hosts of yore, her jokes are actually funny--AND she's sexier, too!

howling at the moon,

Such a wonderful capture of Mrs Pettibone & Roger today--the nicest shot of this bit I've ever seen.  Love that we can glimpse Liz in the background as well.  I'm of course forgetting the actress who played Mrs. P, and her scene in Leviathan was just discussed too.  She had a wonderfully seedy way about her that of course comes through in a very different way of Mrs P who perhaps was Rockport gentry?

You know I really dig the snap of Mrs J in the other slide show today.  I just love that apron.

cheers, G.

I think "Road" got its rating due to such things as a brief flash of full frontal male nudity and a graphic abortion sequence.  The "adult themes" of Jack's casual sexual encounter ("veddy Noel Coward") with Grayson's character may have been part of the motivation as well.

Frankly, the movie is a mess, but might be one of those reclaimed by fans of mid-century offbeat explorations as a curio for deeper regard.

I saw that they have an entry for it (and the Mikey Douglas thing too) but I'm not sure whether either one is currently slated for video release.  They sometimes put placeholders up for films that may or may not be released in the coming months.

It's really too bad the footage for Grayson's deleted scenes from that movie were never recovered.  If a DVD came out with those, it would be a HUGE event in Hall-o-holic circles.

MB, you really know how to crack me up.  that's the kind of dry New England wit that made this country great!

I gather there were tech difficulties with this evening's hoDS snapshot?  I have an empty box with a question mark in the middle and Flora's quote from 1841.  I use Safari at home now so I know it isn't an IE glitch (yes dears... I use Safari on my NEW MacBook Pro... with Snow Leopard OS X!  yee haw!).

not such a fuddy old duddy,

I don't think Todd is working on this series.  So far as I know, he now works with Kristin Chenoweth.  Great guy, though...

I am quite curious to see some of this--maybe I can find it on that website... (no TV here anymore...)

cheers, G.

True, MB, but from this snap I actually can see (which I never was able to before over many viewings of this movie--I guess I just never thought to hit the pause button at this point) that they made a rather crude attempt to paint Joan's face on that portrait.  So, presumably, there were instructions given to the set people that the portrait was supposed to resemble Joan Bennett.

I think what almost immediately follows this shot is the first shot of Barnabas in the movie.  I always find that shot to be an unbelievably disappointing moment.  Even at age 12 when I first saw the film I was sophisticated enough to find this visual introduction of the character to be beyond underwhelming. 

On the whole, I actually find hoDS to be a visually compelling, occasionally even stylish film--that and the score are its strengths--but they really fell down in the filming of Barn's introduction to the Collinwood gang, in my not-so-humble opinion.

I'm guessing that this was one of those moments where they simply ran out of time and they were stuck using the best take from the rushes available for the final cut.

I happened to re-watch the episode from which today's snapshot was taken a few weeks ago and I have to say this scene was a hoot!  Mags is more interested in getting her hair right than anything else and poor Mrs J is having a total meltdown.  There's such a surreal energy to this scene.  and it is brilliantly captured here!  Thanks, MB.
