Makes for a great, romantic popcorn double feature.<br /><br />Vickie Rock - There's nothing like a responsive student body.<br /><br />P.S.

There is hope, after all.

And Conrad looked a lot better in those gaucho cut suits which highlighted his toned gluts. Yummy. But so were most of the female guest stars. Decisions, decisions. Miss Piecemeal comes to mind. Oh the escapist, comic book glory of it all.<br /><br />Why is it that Trampas was so enjoyable on the television screen and so awful on the big screen? And yes, Dennis Cole was a stiff. I'm sure we've all seen his homo-erotic photos.<br /><br />As far as latter day TV westerns go, I'm an Alias Smith and Jones girl, especially the eps with Pete Deuel.<br /><br />Vickie Rock - saloon girl with a heart of goldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-17554626064200211762014-08-29T17:43:23.349-04:002014-08-29T17:43:23.349-04:00Re: Riot - I pretty much enjoy anything Don Siegel...Re: Riot - I pretty much enjoy anything Don Siegel was involved with. The Killers, The Beguiled, Charley Varrick and the Shootist come to mind.<br /><br />Adding Neville Brand into the mix seals the deal for me. I love this guy. Maybe for all the wrong reasons, but I do, nevertheless. Plus it's got Dobie Gillis' dad.<br /><br />Mad World: My family went to see this movie at the Cinerama-Dome in Hollywood. This was when going to movies was a big deal. Seriously, you'd have to go to ticket agencies to get tix to Hollywood first run films. It was exciting.<br /><br />My dad loves slapstick comedy and I can still hear him laughing his guts out during the screening. It's a fond memory. It's definitely a comedy that was made for the big screen.<br /><br />I've seen it from time to time when it screens on TCM. My enjoyment of the film stems mainly from the fact that I can put it in its time frame. Plus all that comedic talent is really appreciated and missed. The never-ending cameos are also muy cool. They just don't make comics and character actors like they used to. I also dig some of the familiar filming locales, a lot of which have changed drastically since then. Based on my kids' reaction to it, the film doesn't hold the same charm for the younger generation.<br /><br />Another revelation about seeing the movie years later is that while Barrie Chase is a given, I didn't realize just how sexy I find Edie Adams. Is it just me? <br /><br />Kramer was one of the best and it took balls for him to do a comedy after his previous heavies.<br /><br />And then there's this Shirelles tune in the soundtrack:<br /><br />Got a baby who can kiss in thirty-one flavors. I call him Ice Cream Joe. He is the most delicious boy I know. Every time his tasty lips are kissing mine, he gives me thirty-one flavors. He's my confectionary Ice Cream Joe. Every time I kiss him I feel mighty fine. I looove his 31 flavors.<br /><br />Vickie Rock - Well, we could tell them that we're here on an archaeological expedition.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-48211114246490732782014-08-29T17:35:34.027-04:002014-08-29T17:35:34.027-04:00I admit to being old enough to have seen the first...I admit to being old enough to have seen the first release of IAMMMMW at a Cinerama theater. As usual, Criterion's attention to detail is pretty jaw dropping in this release. They even include the original "police dispatch" calls that played over the sound system during intermission! The transfer is flawless and, if you have any fond memories of the movie from your youth, you will be smiling. (Not to mention the fact that you may have only seen one of the many butchered versions on cable.) Yeah, BG, it could have been tightened up a bit here and there but, man, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers . . . . <br /><br />Bosoms!

And I really don't like the ending.
