But it's just due to the fact that once "Knots Landing" got cancelled, I hired their lighting and camera people to follow me around any time I could afford it!

Mark, thanks so much for you...Back for round two! <br /><br />Mark, thanks so much for your kind remarks. I'm glad you like it here!<br /><br />Joe, sometimes a contemporary film will surprise us and have some decent credits, but too often we get a title and who produced it and then that's it! No one seems to get that great opening titles can set a mood...<br /><br />Thank you, Percy! Speaking of disaster films, one of the last pieces of my 1970s disaster movie DVD puzzle is about to fall into place. "City on Fire" was finally made available and I'm going to be ordering it this week! :-)<br /><br />Panalex, I appreciate your viewpoint and your supportive remarks. Thanks for reading (for what must be many years now!) I appreciate it.<br /><br />Hi Ken! Thanks so much for dropping in to help celebrate. You know how much I enjoy your site and I'm glad you like mine as well! :-D<br /><br />DevilYouKnow, it's never too late for me to receive a compliment. LOL You could land on earth after being away for 2000 years and I could be all dried out and desiccated like the female astronaut in Planet of the Apes and I'd still manage to perk up and listen to something nice! Ha ha!! You're a gem to take time to say such remarks. Thanks!!<br /><br />Joe Hart, thanks very much!! I'm feeling the love lately. I will have to try to remain worthy of it in the future.<br /><br />Joel, always great to hear from you. You always add so much to my posts with your insightful comments and reflections of your own.<br /><br />Vinniepop, I'm so happy you like these things and the rest. I was just thinking the other day how it strikes some sort of chord in me whenever I see "Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes" in that narrow, scrunched-together font... Those were the days!!! And, of course, we'll never see the likes of Battle of the Network Stars again... Thankfully, they did a lot of them and their begging for a decent DVD release. (I think some of them may have been put out? I haven't checked lately.) Thanks!Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-60333996939968922202016-08-29T13:37:02.228-04:002016-08-29T13:37:02.228-04:00Happy Anniversary, Poseidon!

Far from being boring, I think this self-presentation was the best way to make your readers even more interested. And you are so right not to care about other people's negative attitudes at 49 – I'm a year older and have long felt this is the only true way to live.

Thank you so much for your...Hello there, my loves! Thank you so much for your heartwarming comments and congratulations!! I am a firm believer that you have to have run a blog for a while to truly understand the amount of work that goes into one, though some are easier than others. (Naturally, I had to pick a labor intensive format! LOL)<br /><br />I appreciate all of you (and others who sent a private greeting) so much. Norma... I already do the looking back and realizing I wasn't half bad thing. I sure as hell don't want to slide further off course and be worse than I am now, weight-wise anyway. I know that time will march all over my face regardless. LOL<br /><br />My thanks to Armando and AdamH!<br /><br />John Bennett, thank you for commenting and for having such nice things to say. I think you're right, with the current (and overwhelming) glut of programming that generally things were special back when there was less, not that an occasional decent thing doesn't still sneak through now.<br /><br />Klekface, I'm always delighted to know that I've converted someone into a fan of Clint Walker! ;-) It's a huge goal of mine to keep my favorite people and projects from sliding into an entertainment black hole! And... I never hear "The Bugaloos" theme song without it sticking in my head for a long while afterward.<br /><br />Scooter!!! Wasn't that a truly jaw-dropping movie?! So elegant and yet so tacky. I almost killed my DVD player rewatching the fashion show over and over along with Candice's fateful turn on the swing. It's been a long while since I've watched that one and I've been craving it lately. <br /><br />Chris, thank you, as always!<br /><br />Oh my gosh, Gingerguy, you are so right about the lyrics to those alternative '80s songs. But, you know, I've always been so shallow that I hardly ever paid attention to lyrics! It was always about the beat or the melody for me. The one PSB song that I truly loved the lyrics to was the rather obscure "Later Tonight" because it almost PRECISELY summed up a love affair of mine that went awry. I still truly worship the little piano solo that takes place midway through it. So pretty. Thank you for all of your never-ending support and thoughtfulness.<br /><br />Rick Gould, I love that: "fun mix of spice & nice!" :-D<br /><br />Manoel, thank you for taking time to comment!! I appreciate it.<br /><br />Petercox, that makes ME smile. I try!!<br /><br />Paintbrush, thank you much for taking the opportunity to comment!<br /><br />Sean Adams, thank you for your patronage and attention! Those are three admirable traits that I don't know that I fully possess, but I strive for them. ;-)<br /><br />KP Knapp, every once in a while even I go back and reread certain posts. Often I have little memory of what I wrote because it always seems that I have to immediately head into the next one if I don't want a month to pass in-between them! Some I'm happier with than others, but occasionally I can take some pride in what I came up with. I'm glad you are entertained!<br /><br />Musicals.Rock., meeting George was a thrill! Lee Meriwether, too. I could never forget that crazy day (or two!) Later, I discovered that George had also come to Vera-Ellen's childhood home and posed on her front porch. This house is like three blocks from where I currently live!! He's lucky I didn't know about and run over there for a photo op (photo bomb!) I guess that documentary on him is never going to see the light of day, but if it ever does, my fat face is going to be in it repeatedly because of how shamelessly I stalked him when he was here. LOL<br /><br />* * Again, my heartfelt appreciation to all of you for commemorating this anniversary/birthday by chiming in with your thoughts and reflections! * *Poseidon3https://www.blogger.com/profile/10465785002285422594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-4062991174412595622016-08-26T11:47:58.031-04:002016-08-26T11:47:58.031-04:00Wow!

I am always staggered at the amount of research you put into this blog, and to think you have been doing it for this long! I feel part of a community of like minded people and it's been such a joy to find others who share the same interests. I was turned on to this site by one of my best friends, who has the exact same taste as I, and I look forward so much to new postings. 100% agreement about there being so much negativity on the web and I am so grateful not to participate in that in what I read or write (thought I do have a bitchy streak). I loved reading about your interests. We are in the same age group and I also loved Pet Shop Boys etc. I laugh now as I was so happy singing along to danceable songs about depression and suicide. Ditto on Matt Munro and will admit that my iPod selections are pretty campy. I walk around the supermarket listening to Elaine Stritch singing "Ladies Who Lunch". Opening credits are such a great topic for a post, hope you do one. "Sahara" is great, and "Arsenic And Old Lace" is super cute if you are a Halloween person like myself. I love the photo, and am also very hard on myself about weight so thanks for sharing that. I feel like you give a lot of yourself to this project and really want you to know how much we love it. We love it!Gingerguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989371210392669145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006108502645191096.post-61526874871385785482016-08-25T09:28:38.271-04:002016-08-25T09:28:38.271-04:00Happy Anniversary!

Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />On a related note, I've taken to streaming movies in my hotel when on business travel. Last week while in Philly, I watched one of your recommendations - The Adventurers. What a great recommendation - genuinely beautiful cinematography, all the "mod styles" from the 60s and a frothy, overwrought story line.

I found your blog about 2 years ago when I came for Stephen Collins and stayed for Clint Walker. And, we were both tuned into same TV shows in the 70s and 80s. What a strange thrill it was to hear the catchy Bugaloos theme song again! Never did I suspect that my unwavering support of Benita Bizarre was my early attempt to cultivate campiness. Now I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
