[Worf]

But of course.
Tonight was:

Another :eyebrows: movie

I've been watching you for months now. The questions are KILLING me! To quote from "Dirty Harry" - 'I jest got's to know!"

1. Where do you find such... dreck?!
2. How do you watch it without losing brain cells or I.Q. points?
3. Have you sought "professional help" for this.... obsession?

"Enquiring minds wanna know" Worf

You just have to look for it.
Losing brain cells would involve watching anything coming out of Hollywood now.
NO need. Movies are all a suspension of disbelief so I know what I get going in.

Scarlet Street (1945).
I think it's a great example of the noir genre, even if gets overlooked a lot.
P.S. this film makes me wish Jess Barkers' movie career weren't so short-cut. He could have dished out some great roles. Le sigh.

Good responses...

Tongue firmly in cheek, stay frosty my friend...

Cool is as cool does..

The aeons haunted, non-euclidian, unspeakable horror!!

Yesterday was H.P. Lovecrafts birthday (and Tucson's as well, what a coincidence)
The local indepenent cinema was chosen for one of the screenings on the tour.

Finally seeing these movies on the big screen was a real treat.
My wife and I enjoyed them tremendously!

Dagon was one of the most disturbing movies, based on his writings, that I have seen.:eeek::eusa_doh:

 

[DesertDan]

Yes, Dagon is another (one of the very few) movies that got it mostly right.
I am a very big fan of the HPLHS efforts and think they have the best adaptions to date But along with Dagon and a select few other movies (most of them independents) every "Lovecraft" movie has only had elements of the stories, in some cases only the name.

That's not to say they aren't worthwhile. One of my faves is From Beyond and the first Re-animator movie. Jeffery Combs is a hoot.

 

[Miss Golightly]

The Last Exorcism

Along Came a Spider

 

[Chasseur]

On a Clark Gable kick at the moment:
"Wife vs. Secretary" and now "The Dancing Lady"

I know many people are nuts about Jean Harlow, and she has a nice figure, but something about the tiny drawn on eyebrowns and her large cleft chin just do not work for me to see "drop deal bombshell"... Though I've enjoyed her acting.

I can see something in what you are saying.

 

[Two Types]

'Beat Girl' 1959. Featuring a young Oliver Reed and Christopher Lee as the creepy owner of a strip club. A tale of a coffee bars and 'strip joints' in fifties Soho. A great soundtrack by John Barry. Loved it. ( plus David Farrar wears some quite stylish late 1950s British suits)

 

[jamespowers]

Only saw the first half though. I'll see the rest of it tonight.

 

[Touchofevil]

Groundhog Day, again.

 

[jamespowers]

Groundhog Day, again.

And again and again and again......

 

[Touchofevil]

And again and again and again......

I came in late, but it didn't seem to matter!

Hi Folks

Also James cagney and the dead end kids in Angels with Dirty Faces... Two classics.

Best regards

Isham Jones and His Orchestra (1933)

Didn't know whether to put this in the Movie or Listening threads. I'm going with Movie because of the visual (and aural) quality, and because the Listening thread ain't what it used to be.
Anyway, catch one of the greatest big bands of the day, complete with obligatory hokey sets and dance routines, plus a streamline-locomotive take on Rachmaninoff.

Caught the last hour of The Truman show.

In case I don't see you, good afternoon, good evening, & good night!

 

[jamespowers]

I watched this last night. The story was actually pretty darned good. I don't remember ever seeing it before.:
