…fighting those who rob or plunder.
Of whom do I speak…? Why, Underdog, of course.
It’s hard to get but so psyched at the idea of a live-action “Underdog” movie, just because the odds are that it’s only going to sully the reputation of a perfectly good cartoon, but now that “Station Agent” star Peter Dinklage has signed on to play evil bastard Simon Bar Sinister…
…well, it does up its chances of being watchable by a considerable amount.
…well, I don’t know if this is necessarily one or not: getting the movie “Skidoo” released on DVD.
If you’ve never heard of it, well, that’s not necessarily a surprise. It was a 1968 Otto Preminger film which was ol’ Otto’s attempt at mixing the older generations of movie and TV stars with a plot the “kids” could “dig.”
The preview…which can be found here, thanks to a kind soul on YouTube…includes testimonials from both Sammy Davis, Jr., and Dr. Timothy Leary. They’re not even in the film; they just think you’d really like it.
And, at least in theory, why wouldn’t you?
As Mark Evanier says on his blog, NewsFromMe.com, “there’s something to be said for a film in which the most restrained, believable performance is given by Carol Channing,” but, in addition, Groucho Marx plays God (which, if nothing else, proves that whoever God looks like, he’s definitely a cigar smoker), and some of his co-stars include Davis’s “Rat Pack” cohort Peter Lawford, Mickey Rooney, Jackie Gleason, three villains from the old “Batman” series (Riddler Frank Gorshin, Penguin Burgess Meredith, and Joker Cesar Romero), Frankie Avalon, Harry Nilsson (who also contributed to the soundtrack), Slim Pickens, Arnold Stang, and Richard Kiel, a.k.a. Jaws from the Bond movies.
Evanier is on a quest to get the movie released on DVD. Join him, won’t you…?
…now the ringleader is bailing out of his sinking ship.
Even as “Arrested Development” remains in talks to score a fourth season on Showtime, the show’s creator, Mitch Hurwitz, says he’d be willing to stay on as a consultant, but, as show-runner, he’s out.
C’mon, now, Mitch, DAMN! That ain’t cool!
…but Lindsay Lohan thinks it would be “cool” to play Wonder Woman in the upcoming feature-film on the Amazon super-heroine.
“I’m trying to find roles right now that are different to anything I’ve done to show my abilities, to show that I have some sort of stretch in me,” says Lohan. “Because most of the things that I’ve done so far are aimed at younger girls and are light-hearted.”
Honest to God, Lindsay, just make the move to softcore, straight-to-video porn and be done with it already…
Thank you, once again, YouTube, for this.
“It’s Christmas, 1924, and young Manhattanite John McClane visits olde Los Angeles towne to see his wife and enjoy yultide splendor. However, a few ne’er-do-wells have plans of their own, and C4.”
If you laughed at things like “Steamboat Itchy” or any other silent movie parodies from “The Simpsons,” “Futurama,” or “Family Guy,” you’ll be rolling at this just as much as I was…
