Lovecraft Film Festival, at the Hollywood Theatre; staying for two full days. I took in Freeze, directed by Charlie Steeds, Short Blocks Three, Re-Animator, and Bride of Re-Animator (both followed by question-and-answer sessions, with Jeffrey Combs -- he made reference, to among other things, how Re-Animator originally took off through word-of-mouth, and then rentals). I also attended a showing of Night of the Comet (first time for me to viddy this hilarious, and atmospherically campy cult film), with Kelli Maroney appearing afterward (she provided great insights into the movie, mentioning for example that the sequences at the department store were filmed after hours, at the real deal). </span></p><p><span style="font-size: large;">I also attended some panel discussions, on Lovecraft's Favorite Films, The Aquatic Origins of Weird and Cosmic Terror; along with one on comics, and one on video games. Sipping beer, then alternately removing a mask, I tossed the panels a couple questions, including one involving Fritz Lang's Die Nibelungen; and another with reference to Skull Comix. </span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwk67IC63ZWEAKlYIVQ79n5GmM-aet7-cV7aXCAajuq2mFra1FDYtB1S8kjig0ZMLbHa1Er5C0GWTdEXzjVWQmDEK8-W6tEGuVjrZ9jmBagZ-j8jzdTUns4EW_-vZw-V-c-0Q1QTTSJhNrc9VaFyjMqXZQCsZGHQ8AAj4SQjj-PdW7D7icWvYJ7zRl7w" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiwk67IC63ZWEAKlYIVQ79n5GmM-aet7-cV7aXCAajuq2mFra1FDYtB1S8kjig0ZMLbHa1Er5C0GWTdEXzjVWQmDEK8-W6tEGuVjrZ9jmBagZ-j8jzdTUns4EW_-vZw-V-c-0Q1QTTSJhNrc9VaFyjMqXZQCsZGHQ8AAj4SQjj-PdW7D7icWvYJ7zRl7w=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i>Gwen Callahan, with Kelli Maroney. </i></div><p></p>Jonathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05698260708096834612noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9181392771980428240.post-44824508743431994312022-09-08T22:13:00.014-07:002022-09-10T16:34:57.624-07:00Alice's Restaurant Massacree Doesn't Live Here Anymore<h2 style="text-align: left;"> <br /></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">The name of Alice has a recurring association with restaurants, in a song, in (unrelated) movies, and in the TV series of the same name (based on the Martin Scorsese movie). During the original run of the show, I was aware of it, but only viewed it a few times. In 1975 or 76, 1977, for example, the show would not have formed part of my gestalt. Rather than watch television, I might have been ranging in the deep forests and creeks of the area where I then lived, in the midst of the Boring Lava Buttes. I could have been occupied reading comic books, or books. I might have been on family trips, to California, Nevada, eastern Oregon, Idaho, Montana. I had also started on some initial creative projects, including collages, and a bit later, writing. The world of waitresses in old school utilitarian uniforms, humor, drama, failed romance and jokes based on the bad quality of Mel’s cooking, would not have drawn me in. The signals from the broadcasts remained unseen, passing the atmosphere, and drifting into the outer spaces.</span></span></span></h2><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif; line-height: 107%;">The show was threaded with light (if often repetitive)
humor, guest spots by celebrities such as Martha Raye, Joel Grey, Telly
Savalas, and Robert Goulet, and topical references which would have hit the spot in their day. I’ve written elsewhere of how my family often brought up the sudden death of Frank Sutton (who played Sergeant Vince Carter, on Gomer Pyle).</span></span> Vic Tayback, as his diner-owner character Mel Sharples, even
eerily foreshadowed his own relatively early passage, on one episode. There
is a cluster of premature, or tragic deaths with the series (including Tayback,

The initial parts take place in Europe, during and after the post-World War I peace conference in Paris. The book has different elements and tones (including a section, ostensibly a translation of a manuscript from a group of humans in an ancient epoch) which are inconclusive, and which never cohere. The opening chapters contain some engaging narrative, including an account of an exploration of a cavern in the Pyrenees, along with the discovery of enigmatic artifacts. The unnamed narrator, together with other characters, including Grudge, Professor Gribbon, and the local woman Mraaya, have some suspenseful and enthralling adventures on their quest for new knowledge. The novel loses momentum with its tale-within-a tale, with coined words, names, and disquieting elements of eugenics; but the author does loosely, and correctly, anticipate a future of cataclysmically destructive weapons. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizFyycDaCzUl4HincJmvXVLK7T_ib3cinO8stdmN6qNlzT7l_DW2-CyRYlZC5_VbKA0ww5R0UWSmg6mELmNDWQx1Zrj3br3JUxj06qUoNPUFGBvtqfCg_Y764aUxLWQf6Px3yRuqkP7TFc/s719/blogger_pallid_giant-noyes-title_page.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="599" data-original-width="719" height="334" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizFyycDaCzUl4HincJmvXVLK7T_ib3cinO8stdmN6qNlzT7l_DW2-CyRYlZC5_VbKA0ww5R0UWSmg6mELmNDWQx1Zrj3br3JUxj06qUoNPUFGBvtqfCg_Y764aUxLWQf6Px3yRuqkP7TFc/w400-h334/blogger_pallid_giant-noyes-title_page.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm3Gz-DgDOjiwMOszhAmpB7mp36haf9dBTw1uSpCy0LMB2YgGgqoCpuKDcZJ4MggaJM6XWn8zrk6vvRhbTecKfgwpGg4ONov_1_8-6JOvfgsNvwFajN8hB7uwASurpioeb9XHAYeI_PGF-/s656/blogger_pallid_giant-noyes-autograph.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="656" data-original-width="525" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm3Gz-DgDOjiwMOszhAmpB7mp36haf9dBTw1uSpCy0LMB2YgGgqoCpuKDcZJ4MggaJM6XWn8zrk6vvRhbTecKfgwpGg4ONov_1_8-6JOvfgsNvwFajN8hB7uwASurpioeb9XHAYeI_PGF-/w320-h400/blogger_pallid_giant-noyes-autograph.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KGdJtN959QNQzgMsm-xy9HYs2CVHChwfM_fzIxKGolJrK5zcHB9jZCRM2YPf8-oOMEfD8bdKngaQ_DvopeDK1gbo4muO6wilSmzVCMxzdTyv3-pKwRmXDyrwu_KYQYIJyhgp-WqhKixc/s600/blogger_pallid_giant-noyes-cover.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="482" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6KGdJtN959QNQzgMsm-xy9HYs2CVHChwfM_fzIxKGolJrK5zcHB9jZCRM2YPf8-oOMEfD8bdKngaQ_DvopeDK1gbo4muO6wilSmzVCMxzdTyv3-pKwRmXDyrwu_KYQYIJyhgp-WqhKixc/w321-h400/blogger_pallid_giant-noyes-cover.jpg" width="321" /></a></div><br /><p></p>Jonathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05698260708096834612noreply@blogger.com0
