The Day the Earth Stood Still, 1951. remastered version uhd too although im getting upscale. Michael Rennie stars.







Klaatu: 'I won't resort to threats, Mr. Harley. I merely tell you the future of your planet is at stake'. ....oh how we need you now Klaatu


To give the appearance of seamlessness to the space ship, the crack around the door was filled with putty, then painted over. When the door opened the putty was torn apart, making the door seem to simply appear.

I always thought that was a nice touch, as was the demonstration Klaatu gives by blacking out the city yet hospitals remain powered.

12 Monkeys, 2015/18. Lossely based on the film.





In Twelve Monkeys (1995), the main title song used for the film was by Astor Piazzolla, called "Suite Punta Del Este". This same song can be heard in season two, episode nine, "Hyena", of this show. (i have this piece of music on one of Astor's cd's)

The show, much like its film counterpart, is based on the short film La jetée (1962). This film also served as an influence on films such as The Terminator (1984) and The Jacket (2005).


This is the Reg A bluray boxset, (of which i have 2 both brand new lol; cockup on the film front)

Frequency, 2000. starring Dennis Quaid and Jim Caviezel.





On April 25, 2000, the New York Mets and Cincinnati Reds played a game wearing their 1969 uniforms to promote the film.

All of the World Series facts were true in this film. The Mets' Cleon Jones really did get hit on the shoe with a pitched ball. At first the umpire didn't award him first base, but when Mets manager Gil Hodges showed him the shoe polish on the ball, the umpire changed his call and awarded him first base. It became known as the "Shoe Polish Incident".

In the warehouse fire scene, all the firefighters except Dennis Quaid, Peter MacNeill and Jordan Bridges are real. Dennis Quaid received 16 stitches just above his hairline after being injured in the stunt where he slides down the construction funnels during the warehouse fire. He had to remove his helmet as a story element. If not for that, he wouldn't have been injured.

Dennis Quaid. His name on a film is a sign that it will either be mediocre, or terrible.

The only really good thing he's ever been in was 'The Right Stuff.' I quite like 'The Long Riders' for it's authenticity but it's not a great film.

How to Murder Your Wife, 1965. Jack Lemmon, Virna Lisi, and Terry-Thomas star.





During a taping of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), Jack Lemmon told this story. Prior to starting the film, the husband of co-star Virna Lisi made her promise that she would not be talked into doing a nude scene in her first American film. She assured him that she would not, signed the contract and traveled to Hollywood. While filming the "revelation" scene, where Lemmon awakens to discover in horror that he had gotten married at the bachelor party, she had to disrobe and lay in the bed nude but discreetly covered with a sheet. However, it was this day that her husband, an architect, arrived unannounced at the set to surprise his wife. When he walked into the scene, he became very upset. He focused his anger toward Lemmon who, realizing that discretion was the better part of valor, exited the set at full speed with Virna's husband in pursuit. Running past several sound stages on the MGM lot, he quickly found a garbage dumpster, jumped in and closed the cover. He waited there until security officers found him. lol
