Ciao for now, BklynJim. Thanks for stopping by. You’re right, one should shop around to get the best buy for one’s hard-earned Harryhausen buck.

From your list, “Assignment: Outer Space” (1962, Germany) is the only Grade Z dud I’m familiar with, mikemovies. (It was the one I couldn’t – or wouldn’t – recall from “The Sci-Fi Invasion” DVD collection I mentioned a short while ago. Truly the pits. The only difference is that you paid 5 bucks for it, and I paid one buck for all 4 bombs. We were both overcharged, fella. LOL!)

With Harryhausen, Peter, one may wish to be more selective than someone’s pricey choices for a boxed set, yet it’s not all that bad for the money. Love “Earth vs. the Flying Saucers” (included in the set). Saw it 4-5 times at the old Peerless, and have it both on DVD, as well as on a quality SP speed RCA VHS tape, the cover of which Ray kindly signed for me back in Aug. ‘05. “Beast From 20,000 Fathoms” (not included) and “It Came From Beneath the Sea” are two of his better works from the 1950s, prior to his Sinbad epics and others later on.

But as all this sci-fi/animation rambling of mine has absolutely zip to do with the Ridgewood, I’ll leave the page to LM to his “Art” museum and to ‘Tonino to his Rollo & Kojak. I’m pullin’ the plug on myself for the time being. Ciao for now…

Understood and agreed, Bway.

All I got to say, mikemovies, is :

HOORAY FOR HARRYHAUSEN !

At $ 43.98, it’s worth it !

Perhaps all this talk of old and obscure films, sci fi and otherwise, best belongs on the “Film Forum” page, because that’s where I and so many other movie buffs have gone time and again to see such films, apart from broadcast and cable TV and home video.

I really wish there was a place to do that here on the site…. Obviously there is a need and a want to do it. I guess in the absense of that for the time being, I guess the Ridgewood Theater is the best place, after all, at this point, its not going to make much of a difference as this thread is huge anyway….

Very sorry Bway. I have no one else to discuss old movies with other then PKoch; BrooklynJim; JKane.

Jeez guys, I like many of you guys, but man, i think I may have to uncheck the Ridgewood Theater too…
I really wish the site had a place that stuff like this could be talked about without cluttering up a theater….obviously there’s a need and want for it. Hopefully it will come one day. Even if it’s temporary, it should be easy to get such a spot if they would upoload a theater page for “talk” like this (as Lost had suggested)….that could be done with existing software, and without the need for an upgrade until which time an upgrade of the site may come.

Perhap’s you fella’s could recommend a few good movies that I may purchase. Have any of you fella’s seen the Ray Harryhausen SciFi pack. It contains ‘THE FIRST MEN IN THE MOON’; ‘20 MILLION MILES TO EARTH’; ‘EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS’; ‘MYSTERIOUS ISLAND’; ‘IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA’ and lot’s of bonus features. The price is rather high at $ 43.98.

Agreed, Lost Memory, although those are all great “Arts” that you’ve mentioned. Three of the seven “Liberal Arts”, perhaps ?

PKoch
PKoch on January 16, 2007 at 2:21 pm

Thanks, Lost Memory. By “Art”, I don’t think you mean “Art Linkletter”.

Yes, a miracle, indeed, if even only one of those films turned out to be “good”.

PKoch
PKoch on January 16, 2007 at 1:43 pm

mikemovies, I have heard of none of those films, so, pat yourself on the back : I know a LOT of them.

‘Tonino : Your ex-lady friend and room-mate Pun-Kin, may have also been amused by this bit from “The Aristocats” "

“(sung) Shanghai Snack Bar, Egg Foo Young, Fortune Cookie always wrong !”

Lost Memory :

Two peanuts were walking down the street. One was a salted (assaulted).

I have already ordered some grade ‘Z’ movies BrooklynJim. Just waiting for them to arrive. Perhap’s you fella’s have heard of these title’s. They are ‘Assignment Outer Space’; ‘Atomic Rulers of The World’; ‘Battle Of The Worlds’; ‘Candy Von Dewd’ which is a more recent bomb from 2002; ‘Evil Brain From Outer Space’. You must purchase 5 in order to reduce the price to $5.00 per movie. If one out of the 5 movies is good I will be a winner.

Ciao Rollo,
What I meant to say was that last spring it was Darren McGavin, Don Knotts, and Dennis Weaver who turned up on the other side of the grass.

Re: “We are cinemese if you please …
"We are cinemese if you don’t please !”:
Pun-Kin, the petite Oriental lady who allowed me to live with her for 18 years, loved that scene in particular…..

Ching a ling, a ling, ling, ching, ching, ching
Ching a ling, a ling, ling, ching ching, chow.

Angellina has nice lipsm but she’s also n/a. I don’t know from those other rwo chicks.

Bway, perhaps you are seeing our very own dialect of Ridgewood cinemese evolve on this page before your very eyes.

To paraphrase an old Disney kids' film :

“We are cinemese if you please …
"We are cinemese if you don’t please !”

‘Tonino, if Jeri Ryan is still unavailable, how about lookalikes Angelina Jolie or Jolene Blalock ?

If you can’t get Sophia, how about Racquel or daughter Tahnee Welch ?

“The only thing I understand in the last few posts in this maddening thread is "Buenas Noches”. Other than that, which obviously I understand, what the heck language is being spoken here? I don’t believe it’s English."

Ciao Rollo,
Damn. The Reaper goes for multiple grabs. Last sprong it was Darren McGavin, Don Knotts, and Whats Hisname. …Then Jack Palance.

ROME (AP) – Italian producer Carlo Ponti, who discovered a teenage Sophia Loren, launched her film career and later married her despite threats of bigamy charges and excommunication, has died in Geneva. He was 94.

Jeri Ryan is still unavailable. Sophia is still a great looking woman. I may be off to Rome.

BTW, SW activated and drew 86.4%, as predicted.

Be careful.

Indeed it does, JKane ! Thanks !

More like a non-hair piece ?

JKane on January 11, 2007 at 4:31 pm

“This Island Earth” fans should scope out Sir Ben Kingsley’s hairpiece in “A Sound of Thunder”—looks like an homage to Jeff Morrow’s Metalunan ruler. The legacy lives on!

Very clever, Lost Memory ! I thought the “This Island Earth” gizmo was spelled “Inter-Rossiter”. Yet, “interocitor” suggests other words like “interrogator” and “velocity”.

Let’s not forget Ralph Kramden’s suspicion that Alice was having an affair with Harry Vederci.

We’re sounding like mathematicians, scientists and lawyers with this talk of percentage of cross-correlation and indictments.

Whit Bissell aside, what do you estimate as the probability of Warren wading in to this page with some of his best trademark truculence ? And what are the confidence limits ?

Adios Muchacos ? I thought we were just getting started !

Hi again, Rollo,
LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — Yvonne De Carlo, the beautiful star who played Moses' wife in “The Ten Commandments” but achieved her greatest popularity on TV’s “The Munsters,” has died. She was 84.

I always thought she was hot! Herman was a lucky monster to land a babe like that!! Lift a glass to Lily M.

I think we need a Dick Tracy Decoder Ring to get to the bottom of ‘Tonino’s nefarious comments! The last “Rollo” I remember hearing about was on “Sanford and Son”… Calling on Grady and Aunt Esther to help us figure it all out!

I bet Whit Bissell would know what to do…

Hi Rollo,
Only 82.7% accuracy in my cross-correlation results of this page through Jan 10, 2007. Insufficient to indict ‘Snow White and the dwarfs’ at this time.
