I taped THE GREEN SLIME, which I'd been dying to see since the late 60s, and have watched that tape about once a year since. I love just about everything about it (I'd rather re-watch it than ALIEN), but it was the only film I ever saw TCM run in fullscreen instead of widescreen. The Blu-Ray is on my wanted list.<br /><br />Regarding UFO: I believe no other TV was ever screwed over as badly. They waited until all 26 episodes were in the can before it debuted, Century 21 had to shut down (everyone had to get other jobs), and the show was run COMPLETELY out of sequence, destroying the very real sense of slowly-building continuity which is only obvious when you watch them in production order.<br /><br />One glitch: "Mindbender" and "Timelash" form a loose 2-parter, and SHOULD be seen in that order. (Someone reversed them on the disc.) The entire first half of the series, seen in the right order, show SHADO struggling to get their act together at all. The 2nd half, they do-- but that's when the aliens up their game with each new attack. It was CRIMINAL the show didn't get a 2nd season to finish the "big story". I'd have loved to have seen SHADO take the battle to the aliens' home planet an put a stop to their crap. Also, Ed Straker & Virginia Lake should have become a couple, and Alec Freeman should have returned to give him their blessing (he had a thing for her in the pilot episode).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-153053156030751902024-02-06T22:35:33.457-05:002024-02-06T22:35:33.457-05:00Well you can't play Sherlock Holmes (Nick) on ...Well you can't play Sherlock Holmes (Nick) on film tooting cocaine like Sherlock in the books so it was exchanged for cocktails for him and his Dr. Watson wife whom he has to bail out all the time.

Nice. I have a great fondness for the movies covered in this particular article. I was first sucked into this world via a kiddee matinee of Wild, Wild Planet in 1967 at The Royale Theater in Benton, AR. I think it goes without saying that my eight year old mind was sufficently blown. By the fall of '68 my family had settled in Texarkana, and it was there at the Oaklawn Cinema, where I first encountered 'The Green Slime'. As a ten year old, this was absolutely the most awesome film that I had ever seen. Man, it had it ALL. Spacemen heroes, alien blobs and alien creatures, space stations, space ships, ray guns, a touch of gore and to top it off, that bad girl from Thunderball. It wasn't until Joe Bob Briggs and Monstervision on TNT came along that I discovered the rest of the Gamma 1 Quadrilogy. Happily, The Warner Archive has supplied us with all the Gamma 1 films via good quality DVDs, and The Green Slime on Blu-ray. I truly enjoyed your in depth examination of these films. Two huge thumbs up to you. I do have a question for you; Have you ever noticed that the space helmets in 'The X From Outer Space' and 'The Green Slime' are identical? Thanks again for the great article.wishbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04628676637921212197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-53010116547238819672023-12-22T16:25:00.533-05:002023-12-22T16:25:00.533-05:00Sharon and Roman were married in Jan 1968.

The biblical prophecy is clear that God would bring His people back to THEIR land. Which He did in the 40’s. The world making Israel an official country again is of no consequence to God. Some countries refuse to recognize Israel to this day. They have God to deal with. He said if you curse my people I will curse you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-15157293628156011122023-11-19T19:16:08.078-05:002023-11-19T19:16:08.078-05:00You are rightYou are rightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30487573.post-63306558055346008172023-11-17T16:45:19.830-05:002023-11-17T16:45:19.830-05:00A beacon of brilliance!

Very soon I started to think "Hey, Temple Drake is Laura Palmer's ancester! So I absolutely concur with your review. I also think the photography and cinematography deserves a better recognition than it has. It's a very dark, very unhealthy film, but not too unhealthy to be watched again. I would really like to know if David Lynch has seen it, and if so, what he thinks about it.

The only known surviving film copy is a 16mm print of the cut (R-rated) version. Everything else has apparently either faded or rotted away, unless something usable shows up miraculously in a film vault somewhere. Who knows if the original negative even still exists. It was released on VHS, but VHS quality doesn't come close to holding up on today's screens. It's really amazing how much film footage and recorded music has been left to rot, burn, or fade away.
