Colorizing Old Movies
The main advantage of the 120hz TV, is that it can display a 24fps film with out having to do 3:2 pull down. In other words, when you watch a movie on a regular 60hz TV they have to show the first frame 2 times, and the second frame 3 times, and on it goes. This is because 24 doesn't go into 60...- Atomic Age

Television Noir
I'm a huge Perry Mason fan, and I love that the show just has the look of a film noir. All 9 seasons were shot in B&W. Many of the episodes have noir themes with Mason's client often seemingly on a path of self destruction. Great show. Of course there was the short lived Private Eye from...- Atomic Age

"Terry and the Pirates" & Steve Canyon
Terry and the Pirates was also made into a movie serial in 1940. http://www.amazon.com/Terry-Pirates-William-Tracy/dp/B00028G6D0/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1267377483&sr=1-2 In addition Terry and the Pirates was a huge influence on Jonny Quest. Originally Hanna Barbara wanted to do Terry...- Atomic Age

Remakes
I don't think they ALL suck. I wouldn't say A Star Is Born (1954) sucked in spite of being made originally in 1937. As others have said, the Maltese Falcon in 1941 had been made twice before. Then there is... Ben-Hur (1959) Original 1907 remade again in 1925. The Narrow Margin (1952)...- Atomic Age

I'm a huge fan of The Thing From Another World, and The Thing. The Thing did not do well because it was buried in the summer of 82. A summer that was almost overloaded with sci-fi films. CONAN BLADE RUNNER FIREFOX POLTERGEIST STAR TREK: THE WRATH OF KHAN THE SECRET OF NIMH TRON THE...- Atomic Age

Colorizing Old Movies
The National Film Registry was created a year before the Star Wars Special Editions were released. No connection there. Ah yes the famous, or infamous 70mm blow up of Gone With the Wind! MGM was really reaching with that one! I too am one that insists on the correct aspect ratio. I just had...- Atomic Age

Colorizing Old Movies
As someone who is finishing a feature film, in B&W, I would be horrified if someone decided it needed to be colorized. Having said that, I don't mind if a film is colorized as long as the original B&W version is available also. After all the colorization isn't on the original film, just on a...- Atomic Age

Out Of The Past-Farewell, My Lovely
My understanding is that the rights to the 1975 version of Farewell, My Lovely are tied up in legal issues for the north American release. It's the reason that the DVD release a few years ago was pulled just a few months after it came out. It's not that they don't want to release it, they just...- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
I've seen Bound. Good film. As for Neo Noir, some of my favorites are Body Heat, Tequila Sunrise, Devil in a Blue Dress. I also consider The X-Files TV show to be noir. Doug- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
I've seen Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Very good film. I love all the reference to the Mike Shane type novels. They even got the guy who did the cover art for the Mike Shane books to create the fake novel covers. Doug- Atomic Age

The Venture Brothers
I love how the DVD boxes of the Venture Brothers sets look like 1980's Atari video game boxes.... http://www.amazon.com/Venture-Bros-Season-Three/dp/B001NOMO2Y/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1267108302&sr=8-2 Doug- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
I'm not sure I'd call The Thin Man movies Film Noir either, but they did start a film genre that I refer to as the Mystery/Comedy. Fox did them with the Michael Shane, (which are good little films BTW) Mr. Moto, and Charlie Chan movies. In addition to the Thin Man films, MGM was doing the...- Atomic Age

Film Noir?
I'm a huge Darren McGavin fan from his Night Stalker days. I'll have to see if I can find some episodes of the show to check out. Its surprising how often the more popular thing is actually less appealing. The example that comes to mind are the two competing movies Deep Impact and Armageddon...- Atomic Age
