Jim has tatoos?


I was imagining his performances in here to be the equivalent of
James Mitchum's creepy "preacher" in an old, scary black-and-white
film released in the 1950s.


Robert Mitchum. 1954. Night of the Hunter from the novel by Davis Grubb.
The author was from up the road in Moundsville. The story is set in
this area.


Hmmmm...that explains a lot about Davie Heil's character...:-)


How so? Neither Robert Mitchum nor the character he played came from
this area. I wasn't in the movie.


Tsk, the way you ACT in here wouldn't get you to the
"beginners" entry line to either SAG or SEG. :-)

You couldn't even pass for an A-1 Sauce dish at the caterer's
table on a set, let alone as an "A-1 Op" in the movies. :-)

It might to you, but then again, you got the original story wrong too.


Tsk, tsk, tsk, if you want to do rec.movies.critique.negative
go to the appropriate newsgroup.

The book's author, Davis Grubb had a hard time with reality.


PCTAs have a hard time with reality also... :-)

In one
interview, he said that he could remember that whenever an execution
took place at the prison in Moundsville, the lights all over town would
dim.


No doubt the electricity was wired in by an "A-1 Operator."

That would have been something since, when Grubb was living in
Moundsville, executions were by hanging. Electrocution wasn't begun
until the 1950's.


Difficulty in carrying out Ohm's Law? :-)

Slow going through the CIRCUIT Court of Appeals? :-)


Did they ever catch him, or is he still running around the hills of
Moundsville?


Was he a ham preacher?


He is apparently of the undead, this time inhabiting the corpus
of a corpulent K8 ham?


You've really not watched the movie in some time.


Tsk, I just asked a question.

True, I don't make it a habit to watch creepy black-and-white
movies about deranged characters.

It is much easier to access RRAP and watch all the creepy
black-and-white PCTAs pontificate, postulate, and pustulate
all over everyone else. PCTAs are as deranged as could be.

Another of Grubb's
books was turned into a movie called "Fool's Parade" with James Stewart,
George Kennedy and Kurt Russell.


No doubt you have a well-thumbed Leonard Maltin movie guidebook
from which to draw your wealth of old motion picture factoids.

Somehow that doesn't qualify you as an "A-1 Op" in a cinema.

It was shot on location in Moundsville and Marshall County in 1970.


Did that factoid make it into Variety or Hollywood Reporter? :-)

Was it in QST?

You'd have been a natural "Fool's Parade" extra.


No. I don't have a SEG membership. Wanna see my AFTRA card?

"Corp diem?"


"Corpus"


Tsk, tsk, a blank-and-white literalist. Colorless.

I was making a Play on Words between Latin and English. Since
you only claim expertise on Hunnish, you couldn't understand it.

You didn't understand the Latin oxymoron "primus inter pares"
so it is useless to get you to unbend your dictatorial
Prussian persistence in puling orders.


Don't you get anything right?


I'm not an unbending blank-and-white ultra-conservative
RIGHTIST. Reality requires recognizing shades of gray and
being liberal towards others. You fail there.

Corporations have paid me real money to "get things right" and
I have, consistently. Since you see things only by your
dictatorial blank-and-white Prussian puerility, there is no
point in trying to discuss any matter with you.

I'm sure you would give both Ebert and Roeper a "thumbs down"
when it comes to movie reviews. However, THAT doesn't make
you an "A-1 Op." Doesn't even make you good for A-1 Sauce.

...and a "Bone apetit" to Kathy Reichs and Tempe Brennan.
