He also apparently gave the extras for the ice skating scene a tape of the music and then told them to go home and practice. And the field they spent time and money irrigating wasn't the right color, so they ended up painting it.

Thanks for the help. Gonna give it a go and see what happens.

Mrs. Dingleberry and I dropped in a Jaws marathon on AMC. Missed the first one (groan) but hadn't seen the 2nd in almost 25 years. Not bad considering the expectations put on it at the time. PVR'd the next two. Maybe we will watch them, then again maybe we just won't.
After waiting almost 6 weeks for True Detective 2…

My first thought was he had a bass (as in large musical instrument bigger than a cello) up his ass!

I gave Game of Thrones four episodes. Didn't give a flying fuck what happened to any character.

Cool.

Ummm…ok. What DO you like then?

Slowing working my way thru Season 2 of the original Twilight Zone. Great writing as always.
Despising, as I always do, the scam that is Mother's Day. I do love my wife dearly, although we are essentially roommates at this point. But why does she get a break from doing things she doesn't do anyway? I am my children's…

Wasted my time on the 1981 "Isabel Adjani fucks an octopus" thriller Possession. I am pretty open minded about twisted shit…but this one just didn't work for me.
Mrs. Dingleberry and I honoured Prince last night and watched Purple Rain. Maybe seeing it in a theatre setting had a more positive affect on people back in…

Fidileo.

I avoid 3D as much as I can. A nightmarish ride home on the highway after a 3D screening of Men in Black 3 was the end for me. I had extreme tunnel vision combined with a huge headache and I thought I was going to die.

Greg Keelor, co-lead singer/guitarist for Canadian band Blue Rodeo, had the same hearing loss prognosis as Brian Johnson. Instead of quitting, the band altered his stage setup so the sound wasn't directly pounding in his ears. The addition of a new guitarist to cover some of his harder edged songs seems to have…

And the doctor's wife, who despaired over whether it was ultimately worth it to try survive a nuclear blast. Is it better to be vaporized instantly…or wander in an atomic wasteland waiting to die anyway?

Working my way thru classic episodes of Twilight Zone:

Spent the better part of my weekend doing stuff for other people like clearing out my father's apartment and driving Mrs. Dingleberry to visit her alcoholic friend in Bumfuck USA.
Almost half thru Season 3 of House of Cards. Will reserve judgment until I am done on Tuesday.
The final episode of American Story: People…

Anything from the 50s (North by Northwest, Vertigo, man who knew too Much) Marnie from the 60s. And Frenzy from the 70s.

From what I can recall, Carpenter had signed a 4 picture deal with Universal in the late 80's to make horror/sci-fi films with extremely low budgets. Prince of Darkness was first, then They Live. Maybe the remake of Creature from the Black Lagoon was next, but Village of the Damned looked like something he did to…

My grade 9 class read Wyndham's The Chrysalids in high school. Don't recall much about it other than the banishment of six-toed Sophie to 'the Fringes'. I was born with a partial sixth finger on my right hand, which was removed at birth. Very few of my friends knew about it, but I was still worried that I would be…

Managed to finally catch up to the Fant4stic remake. Wow. Just so much potential in the first hour, then it all went to shit.

I saw this at a premiere showing at a brand new (at the time) theatre with a full Dolby surround system. Quite stunning effects for the time.
