Posted by Sampo, on September 27th, 2008 This one’s going to be a little different. Which episodes put you to sleep and why?
Here’s my list and I have to say I got a little drowsy just compiling it.
For this, I picked one from each season.
• 103- MAD MONSTER (with short: COMMANDO CODY PT 2)–I think it’s just the bad print, the dark, gray scenes and the slow pace. I’m usually snoring by the second host segment.
• 209- THE HELLCATS–I’m not sure why this one puts me out. Maybe it’s the dull sameness of the movie.
• 303- POD PEOPLE–It one may surprise some people, but this is my all-time No. 1 sleeping pill. I don’t think I’ve ever made it all the way through without falling asleep. The host segments are terrific, but the movie, ugh. Maybe it’s the new age music and all the fog, but I’m snoring in no time.
• 413- MANHUNT IN SPACE (with short: GENERAL HOSPITAL PT 1)–The short’s pretty sleepy all by itself, and the movie is just gray and dull, with endless takeoffs and landings and long conversations. Zzzz…
• 508- OPERATION DOUBLE 007–I think this may have more to do with the fact that I can’t follow the plot. My mind wanders and the next thing I’m curled up on the couch.
• 624- SAMSON VS. THE VAMPIRE WOMEN–This one starts well, and of course the segments, with Frank’s departure, are memorable. But the movie just drags.
• 705- ESCAPE 2000–Another movie i can’t make head or tail of, and soon I’m in dreamland. And believe me, you don’t want this movie playing while you’re half asleep…
• 807- TERROR FROM THE YEAR 5000–Talky, gray and tiresome.
• 908- THE TOUCH OF SATAN–Another movie with a very leisurely pace. Just doesn’t hold my interest.
• 1009- HAMLET–I like this episode more than a lot of people do, but the static filming and the dark, blank sets make my eyes droop.
I need a cup of coffee. What are yours?
Posted by , on September 26th, 2008 This is a reminder that the entire Cinematic Titanic crew…Frank, Joel, Josh, Mary Jo and Trace…will be appearing at Archon 32 this Oct. 3-5 in Collinsville, IL (a suburb of St. Louis, MO). Tickets for the entire 3-day convention are $60. Check the web site for more info.
I’ll be at the convention, doing my usual stalking coverage of the CT gang. If you happen to see me, step up and say hi, won’t you?
