Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors ever, no doubt. But for my money, Lyle Talbot will always be Lex Luthor. Here he is in Atom Man Vs. Superman (1950).

Here's Edd Byrnes with Susan Seaforth & Pam Austin in the failed TV pilot #SamKatzman did based on his #Elvis movie Kissin' Cousins (1964). Researching Katzman & his films is a blast.

For the first time ever, I was able to get permission from Lee Mendelson Film Productions to include the music being discussed! That means when we talk about how crystal clear these tracks sound, you can hear it for yourself. #Peanuts #VinceGuaraldi #jazz #vinyl #recordcollector

Thanks to Arby's agency for proving you can still make a decent commercial (and renewing my faith in my industry). And thanks to Kyle MacLachlan for being a willing participant and having an actual sense of humor.

I'm so glad things like this are being preserved. Some of the stuff I saw at Forrest J Ackerman's place, years ago, were in bad shape (and I still worry about them!)

The word is that Sidonis out of France is getting BuddBoetticher's Seven Men From Now (1956) ready for Blu-Ray. One of the best Westerns of the 50s, easy. wp.me/pEScW-5kQ

When Worlds Collide (1951) blew me away when I saw it with War Of The Worlds (1953) back in '77. I'm sure the new Blu-Ray makes George Pal smile every time we slip it into our machine. This particular image would look great over my sofa. wp.me/p4SU0r-4jR

I’ve always loved I Advance Masked by Andy Summers Official and Robert Fripp, and its follow-up Bewitched. Now it turns out they have a third album on the way, recorded at the same time. Can’t wait!
