More Movie Meme Madness
Another of those movie memes making its way ‘cross social networks. If I’m going to do it, might as well be here. Pitiful, I know, but…
The Death List – Part 1
Death in the movies. Like Death and Taxes, there’s no avoiding it. I guess I’ve been thinking about this subject, subconsciously, since like…forever. I distinctly recall one weekend a few years ago that triggered this; brought it to the surface. After participating in a fairly regular event in the blogosphere, one I very much look forward to. Another of Dennis Cozzalio’s semi-regular movie quizzes, in fact; fun as they are.
Purely Because of a Movie – Songs on My iPod Part 12
Finishing my summer of 2014 series, which was begun right here and chronicled my history with said device, examining the music that ended up on my iPod byway of the films that…
Tales from the (Movie) Theater: Musicals, Horror, and What-not (Part 10)
The second longest run during my term, and only behind Jaws for concession stand profit. And just like that film, the projectionists learned it quite well. In my case, that fact alone saved me and another worker.
Friday Song: Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield
It seemed the natural thing to do. Culminate my Exorcist week with the iconic instrumental so thoroughly associated with the film. A non-vocal tune that would equally impact the Top 40 pop chart like only a handful from the surrounding decades. No one seems to produce this art form in this day and age. Sure, I’ve highlight one from way back, and the 80s were more loaded than usual (Top Gun, St. Elmo’s Fire, Chariot’s of Fire). Still, none of those came from a horror film or carried the weight of a movie like Mike Oldfield’s did. To this very day, in point of fact.
The Exorcist, or Learning to Live With the Devil
Contrary to what occurred this past summer with a seminal film from the 70s, I don’t think she-who-must-be-obeyed will ever give her permission for me to…
TMT: “There are no experts.”
This is the next entry in a Theatre… a Movie… and a Time, a series that was begun here. Returning to my theme for the month October, as a fan of monster and horror films since childhood, I thought to tie these memories within that genre. And I’ve waited to delve into this specific film for some time now. Especially, since a great deal of history lies in the attic with this one. Might as well have candlelight flare at this very moment.
Friday Forgotten Film: Sorcerer
Whether some things are doomed to failure because of bad timing on their release, or in combination with a lack of understanding by those (few) that…
