First Keaton Batman

I just watched this for the first time in probably 20 years. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie is a classic.

well I would call it just very racy, and personally there is no actual sex as all movies that were "mainstream" of that era, and also remember Turkey is a predominately Muslim country even if at the time it was a secular "democratic" government. So that is my take. Your's?

TELEVISION PARTS HOME COMPANION   (1985)

A very strange videotape that contained certain bits from the TV series with other bits not featured on the show. One of the recurring bits is a psuedo-documentary about an attempt to prove California could have been colonized by Polynesians by sailing a resturant from Hawaii to California.  "Doreen has brought the flaming pig."  Contains a much-clearer version of "Eldorado To The Moon", as compared to the one I taped from the broadcast network signal.

The last episode of the TV series, which I recorded before this, was apparently a full hour instead of a half-hour, though I'm not sure it had any commercial breaks.  How is that possible?  It also contained many bits seen in earlier episodes, though some of them were much longer than seen earlier, as was the Arsenio Hall segment about the depiction of black people on TV, the first half of it was not included in the original broadcast, and so it made much more sense the 2nd time around.  "All over the food, all over the food!"

HEART AND SOUL:  The Official Monkees Videography   (1987)

Documentary containing clips of their reunion tour, interviews, and videos of their new songs.

Michael Nesmith LIVE AT THE BRITT FESTIVAL  (1992)

Mike does one Monkees song, some of his 70's material, several songs from AND THE HITS JUST KEEP ON COMIN', only this time with a full band, and then does about a third of his then-new album, TROPICAL CAMPFIRES.  "Red" Rhodes, who played on most of his 70's albums, is in the band, as is John Hobbes, who does a trio of his "Five Second Concerts" from the TELEVISION PARTS show.  Wonderfully laid-back and at times existential.  "And theoretical physicists in the audience?"


The Monkees: JUSTUS  (1997)

Video promo tie-in on their reunion album, split between LIVE performaces of the new songs and some very bizarre "comedy" bits.

Look for the pilot of an attempted re boot of Electra Woman starring Markie Post as a washed up alcoholic Electra Woman living in a trailer park. Its a riot.

Its listed as unaired but I saw it on cable years ago, don't remember what channel.

I'll have to go look and see. Thanks guys. Just got through watching the 1926 silent "The Bat"....weird. Up next is "The Confessions of a Super Hero".....Yes Ma.....I bought more stuff......

RB over and out.....

Ok............4 people in costumes out in front of Manns Chinese theatre posing for pictures for "tips"....and the lives they lead.... a documentary.....interesting....sad....in a way...and cruel to an extent I think. Anyways that was followed up with the very entertaining Goldface from Italy dubbed in English.....not much plot but lots of wrestling and fighting.....and lots of bad 60's music! my wife loved it as she got her back rubbed for over an hour....not so on Confessions which she watched as she did with Paperman.....

*A note to Paw*  Goldface was the first of 3 titles/DVD's that I purchased from the Treasure Chest. Reasonable shipping if somewhat unusual packing and such! Jewel cases for the DVD's. Goldface (in soft color) was 2nd Gen - source was probable VHS tape.

My other two purchases were the Turk Movies Kizil Maske (Red Mask / Red Phantom) & Casus Kiran II which are both B&W and I will have to let you know about them when I watch them today/tonight. Take care my friend.

Shoe Suede Blues:  THANK YOU, LOVERS OF THE OPERA  (1999)

Live performance at a bar of Peter Tork's band, interspersed with interview segments & humor.


Ben Vaughn:  RAMBLER '65  (1996)

Camden, NJ's Ben Vaughn searches for spare parts to fix his 1965 Rambler American car, while simultaneously working to turn the car into a recording studio on wheels.  He records his new album, RAMBLER '65, IN the car-- then goes to see Philadelphia radio DJ Jerry Blavat ("The Geeter with the Heater") to get him to play it on the radio so Ben can hear what it sounds like on the car radio!

I've seen Ben play in person about a dozen times, and at one of the shows, I even got to meet Jerry Blavat!  (Ben went to L.A. in the 90's and found work in the TV and film industry, beginning with doing the music for the TV series, 3RD ROCK FROM THE SUN.)

A brief segment in the middle of the tape is of a live show Ben did at The Khyber Pass Pub on 2nd Street in Philly, where I first saw him.  If you look REAL quick, you can catch a (BRIEF!!) glimpse of Palmyra Delran, leader of The Friggs.  (Ben & Palmyra were a couple for 16 years.)

Watched the following yesterday:

Casus Kiran Man of 7 Lives
Kizil Maske I (Red Phantom)
Don't Call Me A Super Hero
The Wraith
Super
The Blue Bulleteer Captured By the Cloak (A double Feature 2nd feature not watched yet)

The top two were turk movies in B&W and were very enjoyable even though the Red Phantom loses sound in the last 10 minutes or so,.....bummer. However these remind me so much of the movie serials of the 1940's and 1950's just more over the top and more sexy.... 3.5 fingers up.

The next 4 are new purchases. Don't know the origin of the first one but it is a really low budget affair and  short one @ 45 minutes but none the less was fun. two fingers up.

The Wraith I understand is an Australian character and could be an AU production, nice product staging oor CGI- stiff acting - nice costumes - but ultimately dissapointing. This one gets a fist you know where.....

Super stars that Guy from the office and that girl from Juno. I don't understand the negative reviews on this one. I enjoyed it. It had a payoff and everything a "super" movie should have. Given the bent of the movie it concluded more or less how it should have.....super hero fans hated it because of the bad name it gives the genre. 4 fingers for this one.

Last on my list is a mercy purchase. I love Bill Black and what he does. Every year I try and buy some product of his. Normally I catch up on his Femforce or whatever new superhero book he's done in the last year (normally not a lot of books). I don't buy his B&W reprint books because they are too expensive and really, most of what he has is here or will be some day (and for the most art in color). So since this year seems to be the year of super hero/heroine movies I bought that title and the Nightveil title. I watched the BB one first and found out it's the sequel to Nightveil. O well. Sorry to say these are just barely watchable. Sigh. Sorry Bill. Maybe they will grow on me. I will try the Nightveil one tonight.

More movie madness to come......

Someone over at the Serial Squadron and nicely set up easy links to all 36 chapters of Danger Island (which are posted at Youtube).

This serial originally ran as part of Hanna-Barbera's The Banana Splits Adventure Hour back in 1968.  I have not seen it since the 1960s but its catch-phrase "Uh-oh, Chongo" has been permanently imprinted into my brain and occasionally surfaces and almost always elicits a smile or comment when used around someone my own age.

Richard (Superman) Donner was the director of Danger Island and a young Jan-Michael Vincent was one of the stars.

Check it out.

Dexter jumps the shark
« Reply #1518 on: December 25, 2012, 12:30:41 AM »

I enjoyed Dexter. In my book he was a hero. He only killed those he knew conclusively were murderers.
SPOILER ALERT stop here and do not scroll down if you do not want to know

















In the season finally Dexter/Debra became murders themselves for their convenience. They totally corrupted the character.

It's crazy.  I love Bill Black's work more now than back in the 80's when he made a big splash.  And I think I owe it to Bill Schelly's retrospectives on "fanzine" characters, plus, Gary Carlson's BIG BANG COMICS.  As I look back, I realize most "fun" comics feature characters who haven't been around for decades, getting stale under dozens or hundreds of (ahem) "creators".  There's more vitality in a crudely-written-and-drawn fanzine comic than in most Marvels or DCs.  If you wanna read a Spidey or an FF, go to the 60's.  Iron Fist, Johnny Blaze, Shang-Chi, the 70's.  The 80's had loads of new characters.  I know there continue to be new characters, but they get lost in the avalanche of "product" from the big two.  Yet the guys who post at the Masterworks board seem to feel Marvel (and DC) are "it", period.

Heck, my favorite comic right now is JANE'S WORLD, which has only been around 10 years-- and every single bit of it all done by its creator, Paige Braddock.

As for Black... he's been doing fanzines since the late 60's.  All the while his day job was in film production.  So scaling back comics and focusing more on direct-to-video items starring HIS comic characters... what a natural idea!  Hope I can afford some of them one of these days.

While at my last job, I did a few mail-orders with AC-- mostly westerns and "good girl" books.  I'd posted a PILE of AC Ghost Rider reprints at the "Silver Age Marvel" site (heh heh heh) before it went down early last year(GRRRRRRRR).

Shouldn't DANGER ISLAND be 26 chapters?????  I clearly recall they had exactly enough episodes to run the full serial TWICE in one TV season.  The odd thing was, they only had 17 weeks worth of cartoons, so those got run 3 times in the same period.  Naturally, to see the last 9 chapters of DANGER ISLAND, you had to put up with reruns of THE ARABIAN KNIGHTS and THE THREE MUSKETEERS.

If I'm not mistaken, the guy who played the exile on the island (Chongo was his sidekick) was also a semi-regular on TARZAN with Ron Ely.  Watched TARZAN again recently, and this JUST occured to me now as I'm tying!

The Banana Splits Adventure Hour had 18 episodes during its first season.  IIRC, they ran two chapters of Danger island on each episode for a total of 36 chapters.  These DI chapters were quite short, usually running somewhere between 4 1/2 -5 minutes long.

From what I was able to find out about the animated segments there were apparently 18 episodes of both the Arabian Knights and the Musketeers produced.  I've seen lists of both that include 18 episode titles (and sometimes original broadcast dates).
Btw, there was also a third short-lived  animated segment during that first season, Micro Ventures, which only ran for four episodes from November-December 1968.

The only incidental things I remember about the actor who played Chongo, and this is something I heard years later, was that he was a stuntman, martial artist and fight choreographer and that he worked on David Carradine's Kung Fu in the 1970s.

Thanks for the Spoiler Alert as I have only watched Dexter through season five so far (expecting to view season 6 next month).
I will say that up through the episodes I have watched though there have been, at least, two incidents where he killed people who were not murderers.  One killing was done out of anger and the other when he pegged the wrong guy as a killer.  Now both of the guys he killed were a**holes, to be sure, but neither of them were murderers.  They didn't dwell too much on either of these killings but I sure noted the difference.

I'm sorry, but that info about DANGER ISLAND can't be right.  I saw the show when it was first-run.  They did not have 2 episodes of DANGER ISLAND each week; only 1.  And they had exactly half a year's worth of episodes to make up the full story.  When the cartoons ran out, DANGER ISLAND continued, and the rest of the show was "reruns".  I cannot possibly recall this so clearly unless that's the way it was.  I remember feeling 'forced" to sit thru the reruns of the cartoons as the later part of the DANGER ISLAND serial continued.  The result of having more episodes of DANGER ISLAND than the cartoons meant that when DANGER ISLAND was rerun, the cartoons that re-ran with it were not the same ones seen during its first run, since they were on a different cycle!

Some years back, I saw a half-hour version of THE BANANA SPLITS in syndication.  At the time, it seemed to me that the DANGER ISLAND segments were much shorter than I remembered from when it was on the network.  I can only imagine they must have re-cut them for syndication.  If the serial was cut into shorter segments (and it may well have been), the total would have been 52, not 36.

I'm not sure about this, but I do recall they always ran THE ARABIAN KNIGHTS early in the first half-hour, THE THREE MUSKETEERS sometime in the 2nd half-hour, and DANGER ISLAND smack in the middle.  What may have happened was, it may have been split up around a commercial break at the half-hour point.  This way, they would only run the title montage at the beginning (or, "every other segment").

I just checked Wipikepdia... as with so much else, they've got it wrong.  They don't even spell Rockne Tarrington's name from the TARZAN series right!  (It's "Rao", not "Tao".)

Henry, your memory of the show sounds sharper than mine.  I gotta admit that after 40+  years mine are pretty dim on the specifics. 

Maybe someday they'll come out with a complete DVD collection of the series.  Until then I'll just enjoy rewatching these chapters of Danger Island.

Uh-oh Chongo
