What are they smoking over there? If I see the genre films that Brain Follower listed on TCM one more time...

Apr 5 12 9:23 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I always go back to the idea that some new viewer might become a classic horror fan this month so it's new to them. And can you imagine as kid hearing that Frankenstein, Jekyll and Hyde 31, Freaks, Mask of Fu Manchu, Murders in the Rue Morgue, IOLS, Mad love, mark of the vampire were running back to back in one day? You're telling me you wouldn't fake being sick from school that day?

Yeah, and in June, no less!! Maybe it might have happened in October, but June?!

Yeah, I can never remember the name of the 4th one, 'cuz it apparently has a couple. May never have seen it --I don't think TCM has ever run it.

The Gamma series is like Star Trek TOS, as seen through a spaghetti sieve on a lower budget! And here's where we part company. There might be four of them, or there might be 400. Doesn't matter because THEY'RE ALL THE SAME STINKIN' MOVIE!!! Actually, I must slightly amend that -- SNOW DEVILS is the one that is not quite the same as the others. Still lousy, but at least a little different. I think I've seen all of the Gammas. Lord I hope so, because, as a completist, I'd feel obliged to see them all. Completism, however, does not, thankfully, require re-visiting these ... err... epics.

Apr 5 12 8:29 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	1. Wild, Wild Planet (1965) 2. The War of the Planets (1966) 3. War Between the Planets (1966) 4. The Snow Devils (1967) War Between the Planets is the only one not to be on TCM. However, I believe it was released on DVD from Dark Sky.

Apr 6 12 1:58 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Forward the Night Brigade! Was there a fan dismayed? Not tho' the MonsterKid knew Someone had blunder'd. Theirs not to reason why, Theirs not to flat deny, Theirs but to view and cry. Into the broadcast of Death Strode the mixed number'd. Gammas to the right of them, Gammas to the left of them, Gammas in front of them Folly and dunder'd! =================== In related news: Oh, how I wish TCM would run nice prints of both BATTLE OF THE WORLDS and PLANETS AGAINST US! "I say ALL you scientists are CRACKPOTS! Nothing is going to happen..." My current damage at DVD Aficionado See some of my artwork at My ComicSpace page I'm a sometimes-contributor to the "Limerwrecks" blog (I post there as "Backthrow")

Apr 6 12 9:32 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I think this might be the first time TCM is showing Gojira, instead of Godzilla. At least, I don't remember a showing. Certainly the better film of the two. Last Edited By: rockinrichard Apr 6 12 9:35 AM. Edited 1 times.

Apr 8 12 5:48 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Warner Archive released SNOW DEVILS last year. I think TCM shows GASLIGHT once or twice a month the whole dang year. Last Edited By: rvoyttbots Apr 8 12 7:36 PM. Edited 1 times.
