I watched:
WILD WILD WEST:
"The Janus Incident". Why did they have to destroy the money that was
printed? They prevented the crooks from resetting the counters, so why
burn the bills?
IRON CHEF:
"Battle Egg".
IRON CHEF:
"Battle Squid". (the challenger was a pizza specialist)
DOCTOR WHO:
"Remembrance of the Daleks".
DOCTOR WHO:
The first ep.
JUPITER'S LEGACY:
"What's the Use".
IRON CHEF:
"Battle Crawfish".

Saturday, I mostly took it easy (though I did also do some prep work
for the start of the semester...):
soaps: GH (recorded) - Josslyn confronts EVOL!!1! Esme about her scheme
to humiliate Trina, and shockingly Cam even backs Joss up on this for
once. Esme stages "storming out" and going home, and dragging Spencer
with her, but not before setting up a phone-camera in Joss's room...
Sure enough, Joss and Cameron finally "do the deed!" so Esme must have
it all on video. (I do think Spencer is starting to get wise to Esme,
finally!)... Peter knows about the baby, and Valentin is close to
proving the same, so I think the truth of Maxie's baby is seconds from
getting out. Victor is still around acting like a scheming creep.
golf - I really dislike having Torrey Pines end on a Saturday - I
really hope this is a one-time thing!
Anyway, this was a pretty cracker-jack ending! At various points,
Jason Day, Will Zalatoris, Luke List, and I think Billy Horschel(?),
were tied for the lead, with Zalatoris holding the leading score the
whole time, and with List having vaulted into a tie for the lead
earlier, and then needing to sit in the clubhouse for almost 2
hours(!!) to see what happened.
In the end, past sunset!! Zalatoris and List had to go to a
sudden-death playoff in order to figure out the winner. List hit an
incredible third shot on the Par 5 18th hole that put his ball less
than a foot away from the hole, while Zalatoris was much further away.
As you'd expect, List birdied the playoff hole, while Zalatoris didn't,
so List (37 years old!!) wins his first PGA event!
The Wheel of Time (Prime) - "The Flame of Tar Valon", "The Dark Along
the Ways", and "The Eye of the World" (ep's #1.6-1.8).
I decided to just finish out "The Wheel of Time" yesterday, rather
than try and watch a movie.
Of these, ep. #1.6, "The Flame of Tar Valon", was the best of the
lot. (This is unusual - usually it's the penultimate episode that is
the best one, not the episode *before* the penultimate!!). This one
mostly focused on the politics in the White Tower of the Aes Sedai,
esp. because the "Amyrlin Seat" (Sophie Okonedo), i.e. the "head" Aes
Sedai, has returned, and is none to pleased with what happened with the
"false Dragon". This was all good, except for the ubiquitous
"revelation" of a secret lesbian thing between Moraine and the Amyrlin
Seat. Meanwhile, the "party" is reunited, after Moraine cures Mat of
his little "dark dagger" problem...
The penultimate episode, "The Dark Along the Ways", wasn't nearly as
good, which was compounded by again being highly derivative of Tolkein
(Moria). However, I will say that while the first half of this one is
weak, it closes strongly, and the identity of the "Dragon Reborn" is
revealed. (Sidenote: This series is even more "woke" than I thought, as
in the book *neither* of the female characters was even a candidate to
be the "Dragon"!)
The finale was the ultimately anticlimatic showdown between Moraine
and the Dragon (who have given the rest of the party the "slip", in
order to spare their lives), and the "Dark One" himself (Fares Fares!),
which of course appears to end inconclusively... There is one final
scene setting up season #2, and I have to say that I am underwhelmed if
this ends up being the main storyline.
Overall, I can't figure out if I liked "Shadow and Bone" or this one
more - I'm almost tempted to say that I preferred the former: while it
starts far weaker than this one, and has the generally weaker cast, at
least "Shadow and Bone" isn't so slavishly dervative of Tolkein - this
really ends up hobbling "The Wheel of Time" somewhat.
Teen Lust (Prime) - I only watched this 2014 flick because it was about
the last thing Annie Clark did before she disappeared for about 7
years. (And you can see why - she's definitely borderline "too heavy"
by the time "Teen Lust" was filmed; by 2021, she had apparently managed
to lose the extra weight...)
However, the cast of this is fun, besides Clark! - it also co-stars
Daryl Sabara (as a "teen"!), Emmanuelle Vaugier, Kristin Bauer, and
Cary Elwes(!!), and sports Hilary Jardine, Jon Cor, and Amy Groening
when they were all virutally babies! We even get an underwear scene
with Groening(!) (whom I thought was taller than this!).
Anyway, Prime labels this "Comedy, Horror", but in no way can this
really be considered "horror" - it's straight comedy!
Jesse Carere (whom I am not familiar with) plays a teen (Vaugier
plays his mother), who is in a Satanic church, when he and his buddy
(Sabara) figure out that the teen is about to be sarcificed to Satan
because he is a virgin!! So, in order to save his life, the teen has to
lose his virginity! which is where Clark's and Groening's characters
come into it.
This wasn't deep, or even particularly funny, but I was entertained,
pretty much entirely due to the (supporting) cast of the likes of Clark
and Vaugier and Jardine and Elwes.

Hey, thanks for asking!
The good news is, I watched a Gina Carano movie.
The bad news is, it was DEADPOOL on The HULU.
Negasonic Teenage Warhead was awesome. Morena Baccarin, well, I’ve watched
worse stuff because she was in it. Colossus was the least convincing
animated character since the original Pete’s Dragon. But Ryan Reynolds was
just relentlessly unfunny. He’s like a poor man’s Ken Jeong. I don’t think
he’s ever been anything good in his life and that includes Blake Lively.
Diablero on the Netflix. Episode one, the demons are among us
A priest hires a rogue demon hunter to save his son. It’s OK I guess. They
could definitely use better dubbing. I’d have to be pretty bored to watch
episode two which means it should be soon.

I had planned to marathon some old submarine movies on my DVR. The
first one up was "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea." I hit play and
"filmed in cinemascope" appeared on my screen. Except I looked at the
image and that was *not* cinemascope! The image filled my entire
screen. So after confirming the movie was being shown in the wrong
aspect ratio, and no one had it available to stream for free, I deleted
it unwatched. And I really wanted to see it too! :-/
Ice Station Zebra (TCM) 1968 submarine/spy movie starring Rock Hudson,
Patrick McGoohan, Ernest Borgnine, and Jim Brown. I saw this once
before but the only thing I remembered about it was McGohan chewing the
scenery. The first thing I noticed at the start of the movie was it was
filmed in "Cinerama." I don't know what that is, but the image was the
proper 2:20 and looked great! I'm sure this must be the first time I've
ever watched it in the proper aspect ratio. The plot involves The
Prisoner, I mean Patrick McGoohan as a British spy sent on an American
nuclear sub to retrieve some spy pictures before the Russians can get to
it. And Ernest Borgnine pops up in this. I had no idea he was in it!
The Neptune Factor (FXM) 1973 sci fi movie about a sub crewed by Ben
Gazzara, Yvette Mimieux and Ernest Borgnine going on a rescue mission to
save people in an underwater station that sank during an earthquake. It
was pure coincidence that I ended up with two back to back Ernest
Borgnine submarine movies! I have never heard of this movie before.
One of the main reasons I recorded it is because it stars Yvette Mimieux
and Ernest Borgnine and I was originally going to pair this movie with
"The Black Hole" since they both star in that as well. This was not a
good movie. It kind of came off like a TV movie, but this wasn't even
good by TV movie standards. Most of the movie takes place in the mini
sub, which looks like an obvious plastic toy filmed in a tank and the
actors spend the movie looking out the window at "giant" fish. One of
the main selling points on the movie poster on wiki is the sub about to
be eaten by a giant sea monster. But nothing like this happens in the
movie! It's about an hour in before the sub even gets to the "giant"
fish and when that happens it's just closeups through the window or
obviously regular size fish along side an obvious toy sub in a tank.
This was really dull movie where *nothing* happens! I only finished it
out of morbid curiosity.
I was randomly looking up Yvette Mimieux while watching the movie and
saw that she just died this month, on the 17th. I had *no* idea. I
hadn't heard anything about her passing. Although I did just see
there's a thread in this group about it I need to read. It took all of
my willpower to not watch "The Black Hole." But it's a favorite and I
am absolutely saving it until I can see it projected on a big screen.

call the TV station he owned there and have them show it so he could
watch it again. The station would pre-empt its schedule right then and
there and do so.
You should look up Cinerama. It used to be quite the thing. Be aware
that there was real Cinerama and a lesser version that didn't require
specially built theaters for viewing.

The underwater facility is called Sealab. I think that's hysterical.

It really is a good movie and they managed to keep it up for the
second one. Brianna Hildebrand also did a great job in that final
season of LUCIFER. Didn't connect her with NTW for the first episode
or two but it was nice to see her getting more to do.

Haven't seen this but I did watch the first couple episodes of ALL OF
US ARE DEAD. A zombieish series from South Korea where a high school
is being taking over by zombies in the rage filled 28 DAYS LATER
fashion and we follow a group of kids trying to survive the relentless
attack (and I do mean relentless.) There's no lacking for zombies or
attacks or deaths in these first few episodes.

remember one reviewer saying “submarine movies are made for scope“ because
of the general shape of both the outside of the sub and the sets. The
Seaview is very long and thin and spends the whole movie going by sideways.
I saw this in it’s original theatrical run because the movie poster sold me
on it and my good old dad took me. :-)

Universal has been using hunks of this movie as stock footage. Anytime you
see anybody arrive on a submarine via helicopter it’s Ernest Borgnine. They
do it three or four times just on the 6 million Dollar Man series.
Yes, the current transfer looks great. This movie is why Patrick McGoohan
is missing entirely from one episode of the prisoner; he was busy here.
Rock Hudson is improbably tall to be a sub captain. There hasn’t been a
heck of a lot written about how they made this movie. For instance did they
build actual sets that tilted or were the actors just really good at
leaning? It has the best submarine under the ace footage ever shot to this
day. It has the second best submarine surfacing through the ice sequence.
The best is Stargate Continuum where they stumbled upon the Canadian Navy
or somebody getting ready to do that anyway and got to go out and film it.
That’s a pretty amazing sequence.
The first half under the ice is definitely better than the second half
above the ice. And I’m still not entirely sure who lives and who dies at
the end. I got the novel once and read it and I remember there were some
significant changes but not what they were after this many years.
A great score. This is one of my favorite movies and I’ve seen enough that
it’s become one of my favorite “fall asleep to” movies.

completely true.
We used to own this movie. By we I mean my family. By own I mean the movie
itself. Not a video of it. The movie itself.
In the mid-1970s the IRS approved an investment scheme to bolster the movie
business where you could buy into consortiums to finance films or in the
case of these finance distribution of films. You’ll see a lot of movies
that start with “Silver screen partners“ and a number as people start up
and shut down new groups like this. Dad owned this one and two others. I
forget one of them but the other was some kid growing up in the wilderness
thing like Grizzly Adams titled “young and free“
https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/xrkAAOSwV1xfE9XT/s-l400.jpg
At my first (and maybe my last) gun show I was wearing my “young and free“
T-shirt and I heard a female voice say “young and free?“ And I turned and
there was playboy playmate Candace Collins
https://iv1.lisimg.com/image/8031478/384full-candace-collins.jpg
who was supposed to be signing autographs but they stuck her in a corner
where nobody noticed her and my T-shirt caught her eye and she was bored
out of her mind and had us hang out and visit with her. That was a fairly
awesome moment for a college kid! She was really great too. I’ve seen or
met other playmates who all seem to be chewing gum with their mouths open
and asking “is this Tucson yet or are we still in Albuquerque?“
https://www.celebnest.com/uploads/celebs/1/18878-14491.jpg
but Miss Collins was smart and interesting.
Later the IRS arbitrarily changed their minds and disallowed all those
investments and dad lost hundreds of thousands of dollars. :/

when she died. I found a lot but the only free one was Diamondhead with
Charlton Heston which led me to watch the Hawaiians as well. Then I realize
Disney+ had THE BLACK HOLE and watched that for the first time since
opening night in 1979 where the audience was Cat calling it and throwing
their concessions at the screen. It had not improved.
Next time you’re looking up wide screen submarine movies may I suggest
20,000 leagues Under the Sea (1954) on Disney+ or get the 2003 double disc
DVD set (not the more recent Blu-ray which sucks swamp water)

Around the world under the sea (TCM shows that one now and then in the
correct aspect ratio) a cheesy but very fun film from the guy who made
flipper starring a bunch of guys with their own TV shows who made it on
their summer vacation. Lloyd Bridges, David McCallum, flippers father, the
DAKTARI! guy, and that Goldfinger girl Shirley Eaton.

watching it again. I like the movie so much that when Disney released
it on blu-ray as a Disney movie club exclusive, I bought it off of e-Bay
for a hefty price. But then they recalled the movie and replaced the
disc because of an error with the opening overture. And they refused to
send me a fixed copy because I bought off of e-Bay. I eventually joined
the Disney movie club I ordered the movie again so I could get a fixed
copy. And they sent me another bad copy. I had to go through 2 or
three exchanges before I finally got a fixed copy. And I haven't
watched it yet. So like I said, I'm looking forward to watching it again.

never heard of it before. I'll keep an eye out for it. Nothing is set
in stone, but I am already planning another submarine movie marathon.
I'm thinking of watching: "Das Boot," "The Hunt For Red October,"
"Crimson Tide," and "Hunter Killer." I'm also thinking maybe "Run
Silent, Run Deep." I don't think I've ever watched it before. So I was
thinking grab it off of TCM the next time it airs and it can lead me
into the marathon. Of course I need to get "Das Boot" too. Since I
don't have half the movies, the marathon is on hold until I get them.

A long time ago I read an article about Yvette Mimieux. The author was
following her around for the article and she was signing at a convention
and a guy brought in a nude photo from Jackson County Jail. The article

credit, Miss Mimieux has never done a nude scene“
Well, bullshit. Not only did she do a nude scene she did it in a movie she
was a credited producer on. Kind of made you wonder what else the writer
got wrong.
And now here’s a picture that’s not safe for Ian.

somewhere some language that meant “subject to approval“ or “subject to
reversal“ or something. You have to wonder why they even announced a
conditional deduction that they could reverse years later.

the gravity distortion of the black hole are cool. That wasn’t done for the
movie. It was done by the company doing the TV ads. Audience tests were
disappointed they didn’t get to see it so they stuck it in the movie
itself! :-)

There were some infamous audio mistakes. Somehow they managed to swap cues
and had the audience booing the good guy and cheering the bad guy! They
rereleased it but didn’t change the packaging or the item number so there
was no way whatsoever to tell the wrong version from the fixed version. I
finally gave up and waited like a year until they ran out of stock on the
old one and got a new one that way.

Also if you get the DVD set of 20,000 leagues you’ll find my work all over

Super Panavision 70 which uses spherical and not anamorphic lenses. Yes,
2.20:1 is the intended aspect ratio.
To project in a Cinerama theater with its deeply curved screens required
special optics.
Genuine Cinerama was filmed with three syncronized strips of film then
projected with three projectors onto a special curved screen in unique
auditoriums. It produced wonderful landscapes but actors hated it
because they had to be stand on marks and face the camera, always in the
middle of the frame, and couldn't face each other to act in an ensemble.
If you watch How the West Was Won, you'll see what I mean about the
weirdness of how the actors perform.

If you are in a movie theater that's not a Cinerama theater, you were
well aware it wasn't Cinerama. The only people who might have been
fooled were those who bought tickets for a Cinerama theater and got the
ordinary single-strip print projected through special optics so it could
be seen on the deeply-curved Cinerama screen.
It sure as hell wasn't Cinerama seeing it on television.

Cinerama continued through the rest of the 1960s as a brand name used
initially with the Ultra Panavision 70 widescreen process (which yielded a
similar 2.76 aspect ratio to the original Cinerama, although it did not
simulate the 146 degree field of view.) Optically "rectified" prints and
special lenses were used to project the 70 mm prints onto the curved
screen. The films shot in Ultra Panavision for single lens Cinerama
presentation were It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), Battle of the
Bulge (1965), The Greatest Story Ever Told (1965), The Hallelujah Trail
(1965) and Khartoum (1966).
The less wide but still spectacular Super Panavision 70 was used to film
the Cinerama presentations Grand Prix (1966); 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968),
which also featured scenes shot in Todd-AO and MCS-70); Ice Station Zebra
(1968); and Krakatoa, East of Java (1969), which also featured scenes shot
in Todd-AO.

to having produced the movie with the three-strip Cinerama process but
figuring out the optics of the projection lens to exhibit it in a
Cinerama auditorium with one strip of film and licensing the trademark
CINERAMA for marketing purposes.
It was irrelevant to seeing the movie anywhere else and it was
irrelevant to seeing the movie on television.
It's comparable to what the trademark IMAX has been used for over two
decades, referring to non-IMAX auditoriums the theater chain owned and
changing the aspect ratio of movies not filmed in the IMAX process but
re-gated to be projected at an IMAX auditorium. Worse still, IMAX is
used for digital projection marketing these days!
