    Not long ago I re-watched Rollerball after not having seen it for many decades. It's a much more complex film than I realized. Teenage me liked the Bach and the violence; older me appreciates the depth of the story.

    At a very much younger age I realized that, in order to fully appreciate science-fiction films, I had to take a few steps back and explore other genres. This approach helped me to become an aficionado of westerns, romances, comedies and others. "The Train" was certainly one of the very pleasant introductions to mainstream film.

    Fellini did the same thing as Demy with the recurring character of the prostitute Cabiria in The White Sheikh and then in Nights of Cabiria. Francois Truffaut kept including his alter-ego character Antoine Doinel in a number of films over the years, sometimes with Antoine’s love interest Christine, starting with the film “The 400 Blows” in 1959 and ending with “Love on the Run” in 1979.

    Haven't seen "Wrong is Right" in years. I remember it being a good attempt at a near-Pythonesque/Strangelove satire, but it didn't quite work. One suggestion: when you watch "The Raven", make it a double feature with "Comedy of Terrors". Both feature great work from Price, Lorre & Karloff, and they're both pretty funny.

    Hello again, Terry - traveling back in time via your vids & the movies in them
    You’ve put a lot on my list with this one: A History of Time-Travel(!), Wrong Is Right, Tiny Perfect Things, Model Shop, and The Witch Who Came in From the Sea. You have a knack for piquing my interest (your comments here on AHoTT & later re: The Witch quite grabbed me).
    Adding the Tarantino nod to yours has me ready to see Model Shop - Gary Lockwood’s appearance reminds me that he played the Bad Guy in S1E1 of Star Trek, and played the central character in ‘The Lieutenant’, a late-50s(?) American TV show - which I was never allowed to watch as it came on during “adult” time, after the news when I was sent to bed @7:00. Still, WW2 was still a big deal then as virtually all the adult men had been involved in the war in some way, and the combat veterans were somewhat riveting in their differences from everyone else; it adds up to me wanting to check out Model Shop.
    Wrong Is Right also sparks a memory of working in one of the first video stores, when a Sean Connery film came out around ‘83 that struck me as COMPLETELY different from anything I’d even heard of him doing; it never played around town, I never got to see it, eventually forgot all about it…so I’m rather guessing this film is that film, but looking forward to chasing it down (does SC play a journalist/TV reporter or ?).
    I didn’t say in the future that I saw The Quiet Earth during the hour or so it was actually in theaters here. It’s indefinably similar somehow Weir’s Last Wave…I seem to be drawn to the small/unique personal films - visionaries and artists and performers honing their crafts out of the spotlight…one of my favorite such films is called The American Success Company. The cast includes Jeff Bridges, Ned Beatty, Michael Durrell & Bianca Jagger, and there’s something I find absolutely delicious in this small-scale ‘caper of the heart’…. Rewatched QE quite recently, Wave deserves yet another rewatch…American Success, sadly, has disappeared completely
    Only brushed past blaxploitation genre due to when and where I grew up, but I have heard many good things about both Coffy and Foxy Brown. my total experience of the form consists of two films, both with Rodney Cambridge: Cotton Comes to Harlem, and Come Back Charleston Blue. In similar vein, though, is one of my ‘guilty’ pleasures, Undercover Brother, which is a hilarious (to me) send-up of the genre.
    Hoping you’re well, Terry - doing our part to set the good example here as well. See you on the merry-go-round!

      CORRECTION: that’s GODFREY Cambridge…he deserves better than my crappy memory. A better actor than most of his roles could sustain (best known here for the cringing, I’m-not-racist Watermelon Man but even the worst role in the worst movie is work for those creatives who go on to shine). His talent was better-displayed in The President’s Analyst (James Coburn again), and he was a terrific stand-up comic, but died too young, in ‘76, I think.
      Happy you find any of my blather useful, sir. I appreciate you trudging through: I have few chances to act like myself, and my text mimics my speech…but lacks most of the funny & nuance of the live performance….

    Don't know where to put this, but, here goes. I was sent out yesterday with a shopping list by "She Who Must Be Obeyed." So, I added a Thrift store crawl element to the day's proceedings. I found a copy of "Fast times At Ridgemont High." that film is almost a time capsule of the 1980s, or what we here in the North American Deep South refer to as "The End of the Age of Innocence." Will the West ever have the feeling of security and affluence again? I doubt it. The second 'find' was a two CD set of the works of Kenneth Anger. Wow! I can well believe that a second version of "Inauguration of the Pleasuredome" was used as the centerepiece of one of the Merry Prankster's "Acid Tests" back in 1966.

    I do like the sound of those 'Sartana' westerns. I really enjoyed the 'Django' movies - they start out batshit crazy, and just keep getting more and more over the top. I was really pleased to see the original Django star Franco Nero (yet another ridiculously cool Italian actor) in 'Django Unchained', too. I love 'A Fistful Of Dynamite' (aka 'Duck, You Sucker'). It's fun from start to finish. Long, but definitely worth watching.
    I love that AIP box set, too. I have always been amused that 'The Haunted Palace', which is a Poe title (for a poem), is actually H.P. Lovecraft's 'The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward'. A cool movie, though.

      The Sartana movies are even more off the hook than Django. The ones with Gianni Garko are particularly choice. They're weirder, weirder than the average Italian Western. Sartana's almost like a supernatural James Bond, all these special doo-dads & inability to get shot or even mussed up. Cool as ice, and the only time he loses his cool is when a sort of recurring character gets killed. Maybe like an Italian Wild, Wild West but directed by Luchio Fulci.

      Saw “Duck, You Sucker!” in Wiesbaden when it came out…it’s one of my favorite Leone films: almost totally unheard-of, much less seen. Both Steiger and Coburn are terrific, very affecting/effective movie. A pleasure to rewatch.
      As for Italian westerns, I always enjoyed the ‘Trinity’ movies when I was young, but they don’t do it for me now. “Unchained” is the only Django film I’ve seen, and I honestly thought it was terrific - though difficult to watch, unpopular with a lot of folks, and often genuinely unpleasant/disturbing. Tarantino is always like that, though, so no shock to me.
      One western that never got the play it deserved (IMO) is “Silverado”: well-written, well-directed, well-cast, well-acted, thoroughly enjoyable. It used many western tropes in ways that came across as fresh & well-used. Saw I thought in the theater, seen it several (many?) times since. IIRC, Kevin Costner’s first actual appearance on-screen (and no, his “appearance” as Alex’s body in “The Big Chill”’s opening credits doesn’t really count as an acting role). Stand-out performances by Kevin Kline, Scott Glenn, Jeff Goldblum, Brian Dennehy, John Cleese, and plenty of others. Written & directed by the same guy who wrote “The Empire Strikes Back” & “The Big Chill”

I guess Lindsay was into alternate reality stories back then...

    Great list, Terry. I found "The Quiet Earth" on Tubi and watched it yesterday. Confidently directed and acted. I enjoyed the first two acts immensely, I think it heads into some more predictable territory in the third act, but I enjoyed the ending and ambiguity tremendously. The movie was well served by longer cuts and a beautifully sparse score. The opening scene of the sun rising took forever, but drew me in. I loved that it had the guts to hold on one image for that long. Felt like "Koyaanisqatsi."

    Have you seen 'Primer', a relatively short sci-fi movie from 2004 that deals with time travel? It's a clever movie that also needs to be watched closely.

    Oh H---. I "imprinted" on very 'drive in' quality movies at the actual drive in theatre back in the 1960s. The parents would go to the friday night show and give me a bit of beer to make me less of a nusiance. I would pretend to pass out in the back seat and then goggle at the "Monster Nudies" and "Guts and Gore" double features. I can still cringe at the vision of Dracula's henchman hanging the victim up above the count's coffin and slashing their throat; Dracula: Prince of Darkness?. The waves of blood terrified me. Then the seriously cheap monster nudies. One ended with the villain hiding in the back of a garbage truck! Naturally, he gets crushed to death by the machine. Lits of blood pouring out of the 'garbage.' It may be a blessing in disguise that so many films are considered 'lost.' [I wonder if we'll ever get a boxed set of Ed Wood films?]
    Stay safe!

    If you can find them, Eastern Eye put out some decent DVDs of the three Street Fighter movies. They did a boxset, I think, with some other movies like The Bullet Train and Golgo 13.
    I'd like to see a decent release of some of Etsuko Shihomi's other martial arts movies, like Dragon Princess or The 13 Steps of Maki. I love the aesthetic of the late 60s early 70s Japanese movies.

    Just started watching S in the C and 5 minutes in it reminded me of the genre pioneered by Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Which is an action comic book, well illustrated, and then played cinematically frame by frame by real live role players. And a bunch of CG. My opinion. :)

    We watch movies for different reasons. I like westerns for the psycho/moral drama encapsulated by "a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do" : very similar to the things I like about noir. The Big Country, Shane, Pale Rider (which is basically a remake of Shane), True Grit (but I've gone off John Wayne a bit). Mind you I have just worked my way through the Sergio Leone Spaghetti Westerns and The Cheyenne Social Club and The Ballad of Cat Balou is a frequent earworm of mine.

      For the "Star Wars" PT, how about Boris Karloff as Palpatine and Bela Lugosi as Sidious, just to keep the mystery going longer. And for the original "Star Wars", combine the characters of Gen. Dodonna and Red Leader, then cast John Wayne in the role, leading the attack on Death Star.

      Just a note. The original Broadway presentation of "The Rainmaker" had Darren McGavin playing the confidence man part, which part was played by Lancaster in the movie. Geraldine Page played the spinster on stage. I would have loved to have seen that version.
      For a hoot, check out Lancaster in "Vera Cruz." Mad Magazine parodied it as "Vera's Cruise." Whenever Lancaster smiled, everyone nearby was blinded, his teeth shone so.

    I thought space sweepers was a poor film, the special effects were decent but (other than the robot) the rest of the characters and the plot were meh or downright stupid. That Vincent Price boxset looks great, I was looking to get a copy of The Haunted Palace as it is one of the earliest Elder God/Cthulhu related movies which I have on my radar to watch, I also have fond trauma from seeing The Pit and the Pendulum when I was young so be nice to revisit that absolute classic. I've never seen the Sartana films - they sound interesting. Saw Keoma a while back and that was excellent - such a unique soundtrack for a spaghetti western.

    I'm trying to find a movie. I saw a brief excerpt from it a long while ago and to this day I don't know the title. It is a Space Opera with a girl who has be captured by a cyborg baddie. He is a pirate of some sort, and he intends to rape her. She glances at his crotch with a look that says, "Do you really think you're going to be able to do anything with that?" Then he reaches down and pulls a small cord like a lawnmower starter. You hear a small motor begin to whine and the girl gets a look of fear in her eyes. That's the only part of the movie I saw. It was played for laughs and one of the funniest things I ever seen. I'd like to see the whole thing. Any ideas?
