I really like Jersey Mike's Philly Cheese Steak sandwich.  And their Roast Beef sandwich is quite excellent, too.

TOD:  I've liked every "Rocky" movie I've seen, and every "Planet of the Apes" movie I'd seen from the series many years ago.

"A Boy Named Charlie Brown" and "Snoopy Come Home" was kind of a franchise, and recent discussion of "A Boy Named Charlie Brown" reminded me of how much I enjoyed those on the big screen in the movie theater.

On TV, does the series of "Gidget" TV movies count as a franchise?  If so, I always watched them back in the day.

Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: bk on September 04, 2025, 06:06:13 AM
I still think the opening scene of Orphan should be cut because it gets the film off on a weird start and feels like it was forced to be there by higher-ups, whose reasoning would be that they wanted something to grab the audience right away. But it's stupid and other than giving us a bit of information that we get one scene later, it's just not what the film is. I thought the other night, I should just start the movie after it.

I have to say the MR BK hit the nail on the head in his comments on this movie.

I kind of a got a drift of where it was going, but the trip was well worth it.

Writing was crisp, story kept moving forward at top speed, all of the actors were great in their parts.

Leading actress surely very surely should have received an AA nomination.

It was a scary movie with NO supernatural overtones or shortccuts.

I may check out the prequel.

THanks to MR BK for his recommendation. I should have known he wouldn't steer me wrong.

I am putting together the scene change music for the current show. I decided I would end the show and bows with the wedding march.

So I thought I would use familiar classical themes and build to the ending march.

I got an email from the assistant director - his daughter is the director - and said that they want to use the wedding march at the end [great minds] and for the scene change includes a lot of furniture moving and adds on - it has been decreed that the music from "Benny Hill" will be used.....

The End.

Maybe I'll pull my long-dormant time travel screenplay out of its virtual drawer, and add a scene where Jrand-in-1983 and FJL-in-1983 dance exactly like that.  If the actors can't do it, we'll hire the twinsauce guys as body doubles.

Or maybe not.

I'd still cut the opening scene, but in reality it doesn't kill the movie or anything. No real missteps after that, though. And as I've said before, any movie that uses The Glory of Love is aces in my book. One of my all-time favorite songs. Great tune, great lyrics, and the recording in the movie is from one of the surprisingly great albums Jimmy Durante made towards the end of his life - gorgeous arrangement. Must check and see who did it.

TOD

I'm a sucker for James Bond movies, even the lesser ones. I like all three Back to the Future movies, with of course much emphasis on the original. I love Raiders of the Lost Ark, and I like the next two films okay - but the last time I saw Temple of Doom, the "cute" element and the hysterics of Kate Capshaw et al. irritated the living hell out of me. Star Wars, just the first three films, thankyouverymuch, I'll never go beyond those. Planet of the Apes - the superb original, of course, but I'm also fond of the other four in the original series. No interest at all in the newer ones. This past week I've revisited the first three Beach Party movies, and on this viewing thus far, I was more fond of the first two than the third. Dirty Harry - yes, even the less thrilling ones.

Of course, this is ALL vintage material. Are there any contemporary franchises I like? That's a damn fine question. Something tells me the answer is no, but I could also be forgetting something. I'm equally sure I've forgotten to mention many from the past.
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: ChasSmith on September 04, 2025, 09:56:34 AM
The only Omen movie I ever went to was the original, at the Egyptian. I'm a bit of a dissenter on this one. I admired it greatly, but it didn't scare me like I thought it should (I do love a good horror movie, and a good scare). I just didn't warm to it. I *think* I watched the others in that original series on a set of DVDs, and didn't care for any of the sequels.

Another horror series would be the Phantasm films. I saw the original - I think at the L.A. Filmex for that year - and liked it. I went to the second one a few years later, and I guess you'd say I liked that, too. Now I forget how many there were. At least a third, which now I don't remember but I saw it probably on disc once.

Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: ChasSmith on September 04, 2025, 10:12:39 AM
How about some Disney? Toy Story - great admiration and liking for the first three, even though I really have only seen them once. I did buy all three for eventual followup watching. I never thought they should have made any beyond the third, and have no interest in whatever followed.

I went to the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie and somewhat liked it but didn't come close to loving it. Now I catch a little bit of any of them, and they hold zero interest for me.

I have a love-hate relationship with the Mission: Impossible series. I haven't even seen them all. Sometimes I'll watch one and like it way better or worse than previous viewings.

Lord of the Rings, etc.? I initially liked and admired them, and they became 'eh' for me.

The Jurassic Park films? Loved the first, enjoyed the next couple of them, and couldn't care less about ever seeing all the newer ones.

I sorta met Peggy in Ohio in 1977 or 78. She was a children's librarian in the Cincinnati library system, and she was the girlfriend of Eugene Sher, a wonderful actor from North Carolina. He lived in Cincinnati, but he was working with his brothers in their carp;et/flooring store in Middletown. In 1978, Eugene followed his dream of becoming a professional actor, and he and Peggy moved to an apartment at East 80th Street and First Avenue.

On their move, their U-Haul had a faulty issue and around 3:00am on Route 80, somewhere in the middle of nowhere, the truck caught fire and everything they owned was destroyed. U-Haul gave them a huge settlement, and Eugene decided two things:
  1. He would pay for an off-off-Broadway showcase and star in it.
  2. I would direct it.
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: elmore3003 on September 04, 2025, 03:07:24 PM
So, in June 1979, Eugene paid for my round-trip ticket to New York, and I moved in with him and Peggy. Our friend Wayne had been staying with them before I moved in. What I didn't know was that Eugene was telling me I could stay as long as I needed and he was telling Peggy, who was sick of houseguests, that I was looking for an apartment. By my second week, she was sick of me - in retrospect I cannot blame her - and by the third week I knew I had to get out. By then I huad decided I was not returning to Middletown, so I cashed in my return ticket and called my parents to ask for $1,000 to find an apartment. On a July Saturdat, I moved into my college friend Karen Eifert's guest room at Riverside Drive and 96th Street. Peggy and I had a very frosty farewell. I'll never speak to her again, I thought.
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: elmore3003 on September 04, 2025, 03:11:54 PM
Eugene's showcase never happened. We couldn't settle on a play. He was waiting tables and actinf in a lot of things, but I told him I was sick of seeing crap where he was the only good actor. The rock-bottom was a commedia dell'arte group on Wall Street run by a fool of a director, but Peggy and her parents were there the same night I was, and we all ended up riding the subway back uptown. My ultimatum about crap plays to him occurred the following week, and we never spoke again.

One day, some time later, Peggy called me and told me that Eugene and she had split up and he had moved to Los Angeles. She also asked me to come to East 80th Street for lunch. So, I went; I was curious.
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: elmore3003 on September 04, 2025, 03:24:38 PM
We talked about her and my split up with Eugene and what was going on in our lives. She was working as a librarian at the New York Society Library in 1979, but it was now 1981 and she was with the New York Public Library children's dept. I no longer remember the branch. I had moved to my second apartment in July 1980, so we talked about all that stress and the unpleasantness when I stayed with her and Eugene. Then she dropped the Big News: she had met at the library - shades of She Loves Me! - a writer named Peter Salwen, and they were getting married. I later met himn and gave her my approval, and for the next 40+ years they were the friends on WEst 86th Street that I never saw often enough. I will miss her.

I'm bored by female body horror movies, which is exactly what this is. Director is interesting visually - beautiful production design - actors are good. But several gross-out scenes that are NOTHING like The Omen, which has three great "shock" scenes that are justified and not overtly nutty like they do today.

I was able to chat with a couple of theater friends after the show and they thought the actors (all women) were a little bit off...that their timing wasn't as good as it could or should have been.
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE

The opening scene is a couple of POTUS' staff talking about how he called his wife the "c" word at a meeting...well, he called her not being at the meeting "c*nty," even though she was there but was hidden behind people standing in front of her, so he didn't see that she was there. 
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE
Post by: George on September 04, 2025, 10:36:06 PM
They said the word, and said it often.  That scene was pretty funny...and they all said many words throughout the whole show that would offend sensitive viewers.
Title: Re: HOPE ALIVE

I am putting together the scene change music for the current show. I decided I would end the show and bows with the wedding march.

So I thought I would use familiar classical themes and build to the ending march.

I got an email from the assistant director - his daughter is the director - and said that they want to use the wedding march at the end [great minds] and for the scene change includes a lot of furniture moving and adds on - it has been decreed that the music from "Benny Hill" will be used.....

The End.

The show tonight had a big chase-type scene and they also used the "Benny Hill" music! ;D

Quote from: singdaw on September 03, 2025, 03:03:26 PM
Many interviews today. I like being the interviewer much more than being the person interviewed.

Which was a major reason why I actually put in for my retirement so early. ::)

You get getting interviewed or had to do interviews?

I applied for a couple of jobs but didn't get interviews, but just doing research on what one needs to put on resumes nowadays, and what one should do, say, how to dress, etc., if you get an actual interview was really scary.  Everything seems so specific and one wrong move could put you at the bottom the the list.

Me: Why is the song called "UNDER the Sea"? They're not UNDER the sea; they're IN the sea.

Pharmacist: I meant any questions about your prescription.

Strange that Jane and costar Titus Burgess have both been cast as Mary Lincoln in Oh, Mary!

There aren't too many shows where something like that can happen. :)

Have some boneless wings on their merry way.

Be careful, BK.  They now legally can actually have bones! :P

I got links to the tracks, but I don't know if they're backing tracks or just tracks from recordings of the show. ::)

It turns out that they provided both.  There is a set list from a couple of different recordings to get the feel of the piece, and the rehearsal tracks, so that's good.
