Feb 9 07 11:01 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	*Quote:* Heard anything along those lines--or in Burrough's-speak--the dum-dum? I hear the expression "dumb-dumb" from the girlfriend a lot, but I don't think she's using Tarzan-talk. Boy, Mark, that would be a cool film to see, but it looks like del Toro has already got a couple of other projects in the works. (Of course, Redfield Arts has shown a strong hand at bringing classic characters to the screen, too...hint, hint!) I'd love to see a wink to the past in a new Tarzan film: We see an explorer introduced to Tarzan for the first time. He regards the jungle lord as a simple savage and says, "Me great hunter, come across big water in silver bird," only to have Tarzan ask someone, "Does he always talk like Tonto?" Somewhere along the line, maybe in the Sixties, Ray Harryhausen had given some thought to the possibility of doing one of the Burroughs books...I think "Tarzan and the Ant-Men."

Mark, maybe Del Toro's getting something ready to go beyond what IMDB has listed. (Then, again, we've all seen projects announced get shelved, so maybe IMDB had not yet updated his list last time I looked.) Would love to see him do Tarzan! *Quote:* My main complaint with the Disney Tarzan, is the continued characterization of Jane Porter as British The Wolf Larson TARZAN tv series made her French! (Actress Lydie Denier.)

Feb 15 07 10:56 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	So, Joe, you didn't want a TARZAN AND THE MERMAIDS soundtrack CD, to listen to "Benji the singing mail man" croon tunes? Also on the less-than-the-best list would be the 1959 Denny Miller TARZAN THE APE MAN, which tried to tint B&W stock footage and intercut it into a color production.

Feb 18 07 3:38 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	The greatest Tarzan films in my book are any films in which Weissmueller says either "Stone jungle." or "Now Tarzan make war!" That limits the field a little. It would've been nice to see him rassle those dinosaurs instead of just watch from a cave, though...

Cult I'm gonna guess you were not in the throes of puberty when you viewed it. I would have stuck around for a second show if my parents had let me. Did I mention I sat in the front row so I could fully appreciate Bo's 15 foot high breasts? I can't argue it's a classic but it will always make me smile ;-)

Was that you I saw in the front row, on opening night, for Tanya Roberts' SHEENA? ("Tarzan made monkeyshines with Jane!"--George "Spanky" McFarland, 1928-1993)

Feb 21 07 9:12 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	That reminds me to ask a question, Mosterpal --- it is "Cheeta", right? I've seen it also spelled as "Cheetah" but I think yours is right. ---------------------- "It's MORE ... than a hobby!"

Feb 22 07 12:26 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I like Johnny Weissmuller as much as anybody does, but Josephine McKim's nude swimming sequence in TARZAN AND HIS MATE is one of my favorite scenes in ANY movie, not just any Tarzan movie, so that one gets my vote. It's just so innocent and beautiful that it's almost like a glimpse of Eden.
