An OK Hope movie from the period, but his hook up with Lucy was much funnier in Fancy Pants. Much better Damon Runyon is The Lemon Drop Kid, which has become one of our go to Christmas movies. Silver Bells plus the hilarious department store window scene.
Big Trouble in Little China!
Cause Ol' Jack Burton says....What the Hell....
And yes, it's not a Scheilburg but I'm going through my old Cinefex mags tonight (nostalgia).
Had a Super 8 print of this back in the day from Paramount, early 80's when they were releasing some of their features for the home market. Also bought Saturday Night Fever and Longest Yard. Still have them, although I think all my Super 8 color films have gone to red. Probably just need to...
Any Top Whatever Number Movies are going to provoke intense reactions which I'm sure is what Variety's article is about (let's show our advertiser's more "hits" before the end of the year to justify their ad spending). I agree with some and not so much with others. I love Waiting for Guffman...
Both Adam-12 and Dragnet are on Amazon's FreeVee with new HD masters - best I've ever seen these shows look. Love seeing those 60's and 70's LA backgrounds in detail.
Quite a few classics added this month that were not on HBO Max's official list:
Brigadoon
National Velvet
Travels with my Aunt
They Died with their Boots on
The World, the Flesh, and the Devil
Designing Woman
Love in the Afternoon
a few from the 1930's I've never heard of.
Actually, some great stuff added that is not on the list! Finally some classic titles like The Pirate, Good News, tons of Harold Lloyd, Mystery of the Wax Museum, San Francisco, Waterloo Bridge, etc.
If the version on Paramount + (still seems to be the same ol' CBS All Access to me) is not the remastered version, it still looks pretty darn good. But I got to tell ya, if you really want some circus entertainment, this video is way more fun and interesting than most of greatest show. Tammy...
Hoping the new release is better than what I saw. Lots of registration problems. Don't know if this was the source for the 4K scan. Could be a really lovely show if the 3 strips were registered properly but the streaming version is not, so I would wait for reviews before buying blindly.
Still have a Super 8 film copy of this pic which I watched many times. Back in the day. Pretty funny, even with some aging out by the bros, but much better than Love Happy,
I love Bond - I've seen them all (even the bad ones) multiple times. But quite frankly, I have a hard time watching them much anymore just because I'm tired of them. The blu-rays of Bonds I have, I've watched once. It's great seeing the quality but, blast it, it IS the same movie I've seen...
