An open thread for reports from today’s Cinematic Titanic shows in Green Bay. PACKERS!
“Stressfactor” aka Tonya writes:
I can enjoy episodes I can’t follow — Mighty Jack and Castle of Fu Manchu are good examples. You just sort of need to be able to live in the moment and let the movie FLOW over you, as somebody says in “The Big Chill.” But can those be considered truly classic episodes, or do you need to be drawn in to the movie enough to be following the plot, for the episode to be a true classic? What do you, the viewer, think? (By the way, I love the idea of an episode journal.) UPDATE: Love to get some reports on these shows!
Ed Huyck has a nice piece in the Minneapolis City Pages about this. Bill Corbett and a funny fellow named Joseph Scrimshaw previously co-wrote the play “My Monster,” and last year Joseph starred in Bill’s “Super-Powered Revenge Christmas.” The two are now teaming up (once again under the “Joking Envelope” banner) for “Cinemadness,” “a comedy/variety show about the movies” in which Bill and Joseph “obsess over every aspect of the movie experience! Featuring comedy, music, an audience quiz, special guests and ironically, no actual movies whatsoever!” The show will be presented at the always-sophisticated Bryant Lake Bowl Cabaret Theater, 810 W. Lake St., in South Minneapolis. All shows will be at 7 p.m. (doors open at 6 p.m.). Tickets are $14 with reservations in advance, $18 on the day of show. Call 612-825-8949 All of Shout! Factory’s Shout! Select titles are currently 20% off through Nov. 21. All the MST3K singles are $11.99 plus shipping & handling.

Thanks to Robert for the heads up. 
NEW YORK CITY–Richard Gordon, a B-moviemaker whose credits as a producer and executive producer of science fiction and horror films included “Fiend Without a Face” and “The Haunted Strangler,” died at New York-Presbyterian Hospital here Nov. 1, of a heart condition. He was 85. There’s a nice long obituary here. There’s also a nice appreciation here. |
