Memories of Me (1988)
Why is it not shown more?
Really a good inside look at Hollywood and the movie making machine that it is today. Why do they not show it on TV or any other outlet, I found it well.,.......well just great. Best kept secret flick RussJFK loves it! You just get a good look at this film and the back-door of Hollywood. What the extras go through on a day to day basis on the set. I was one of them many years ago back in 1987 in LAX. Worked on a lot of films, enjoyed sitting on "the set" while we filmed. Every time I looked into the camera, I felt at home. I missed Dallas, Texas at the time and I was all the way in LA. But I found solace when I saw the camera, filming me, I knew that that was a portal back to my home in Texas and other homes across the country. I felt at home in front of the camera? Anyway, I loved this movie and wish I could find it on DVD for my collection, one of those good Saturday afternoon movies!!
Freaks (1932)
Freaks Banquet Scene
I just watched the movie, wow. What a concept. I have nightmares about the freaks banquet scene where they chant and chant, "we accept you, one of us", over and over, faster and faster. Those faces. THOSE FACES under the stairways. Hiding in the dark, waiting and looking. Creepy, worth a look. Another scary element is that it was filmed in 1932, that has always been a scary time, seems so far ago, I see these freaks in their respective coffins today, bones and dust, buried and forgotten. Just a dark movie, but cutting edge for it's time. The pin-headed girls laughing while they get drunk also is a sad scene, and the German accented midget who is the focus of the story, he actually seems pretty cool. I had a freak book when I was a child and recall seeing THESE SAME freaks in that old book.
All in the Family: Archie the Hero (1975)
Beverly La Salle-Archie Bunker
This episode was very funny, to this day! Sad to see he/she died in 1984 in San Francisco. I bet he/she had a great time riding the coat-tails of her appearance on All in the Family. I bet there was a tour, a dance show and many other shows from him/her related to this episode. I hope he/she made good money for the work performed. Those were good-old-days to be clubbing in San Fran, NY, Dallas and LA. I was at all those places back then and still to this day. Great times for the country as well, simpler times, fun times. God Bless Archie and Beverly. I will be sure to get a copy to show on the "big screen" in my home during parties. Great entertainment. Thanks for the laughs 33 years later!!! RussJFK
