Wouldn’t you love to hear the sinister whine of Bruce Dernreading the more bleak works of the Bard? But why would anyone let him become a law enforcement officer?
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle. Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.
Ha, I never saw The Laughing Pig, but this picture is making me want to see it. Is this the phase where Matthau was attempting to be a cool tough guy, like in Charlie Varrick? ...like when John Wayne hit the mean city streets in the early seventies hilario-classics McQ and Brannigan!!!!
That was my original idea for the title of this blog, a sort of summation of nearly everything I'd ever wanted cinematically: regularly playing on the ABC Channel 7 4:30 movie--or on WOR-TV Channel 9's 4 O'Clock Movie--the greatest monster movie in the universe, and incredible combo of miniatures, men in suits and stop motion, with entire continents destroyed!
But then there was a coup d'etat, and Tzar Ivan I of Ivanlandia took charge.
