Who cares what picture we see?


Frank Gorshin completely would - so we're picking this one -

One of my favorite movies since I was a kid - and it always will be. After the TV series took the country by storm in 1966, they threw this feature together between the first and second seasons. You get four of the series' best villains - with Lee Meriwether a satisfactory Catwoman - though I completely miss Julie Newmar at the same time. They used the feature budget to build the BatCopter and the BatBoat - both of which were then utilized (along with stock footage from the movie) in the series.




That poster up there has a typo - if anyone wants to check for it - and the disc in the video vault is a crisp and colorful Blu-Ray - which we could have spinning anytime - even tonight - if you care to come by!

Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #157!

For March we're going with a special theme - we're going to take a look at the posters that were featured in theaters to advertise each chapter in a cliffhanger serial - in this case, one from the silent days!





The House of Terror  (William M. Pizor Productions, 1928)

Who cares what picture we see?


Susanne Reed would if she knew we were wondering - so we're going to pick this one...

After the well deserved success of Piranha in 1978, Roger Corman wanted to try to repeat that bonanza - so he sent Charles Griffith - who'd written many scripts for him - to the Phillipines to make another "Jaws homage." This one is nowhere near the quality of Piranha, but it's still a mostly amusing 85 minutes, starring one of those pesky Bottoms boys (in this case, Sam) and with the Phillipines making a pretty good fake Hawaii.




I have this one on a double feature disk with another Filipino marine monster movie - Demon of Paradise - and we could be checking out either - or even better - both - at any time - even tonight, if you care to drop by my joint!

Celebrity Endorsement: Linnea Quigley!

I actually posted this video previously in a Linnea-centric post during 2013's A-Z Challenge. But, I wouldn't want someone who is specifically checking out my celebrity endorsement posts to miss it - so it's getting the deluxe treatment for this go-round!


And of course, Linnea Quigley needs no introduction around these parts! The woman is incredible - and has made bad movies watchable, and good movies better.

Who cares what picture we see?



Nathan Fillion does - in brightest day, in blackest night - so we'll pick this one - it just seems right.

I've been enjoying these animated DC Universe movies - and here's the newest one to be added to the video vault.




We could be Marveling at it - pun intended - anytime - even tonight, if you care to come watch it with me!

Maniacal Movie Poster Monday #155!

My computer was down for a week with a computer virus - it's back. Sadly, my huge gallery of movie posters was corrupted by the rescue, apparently - so I'm starting back a little slowly. To get caught up we'll skip the words - three simple posters.

 

 

 



 

 

 

Glad to be back! Until next post, you Can Poke Me With A Fork, Cause I Am Outta Here!
