Random Movie Mention: “THE OBLONG BOX” (1969)

Honestly, My Peeps…

…The Film’s Tagline Says It All.

("SOME THINGS ARE BETTER LEFT BURIED.")

!!! !!! !!!

!!! !!!

!!!

VINCENT PRICE

…And…

CHRISTOPHER LEE

…Share The Screen Together For The Very First Time…

…In The Film Adaptation Of…

EDGAR ALLAN POE‘s

THE OBLONG BOX

(1969)

**** **** **** **** ****

While This Flick Isn’t The Very Best Of The “POE-Adaptations”…

…It Nevertheless Brings It’s Own Joy To The Table…

…Especially For Fans Of…

EDGAR ALLAN POE

&

VINCENT PRICE

&

CHRISTOPHER LEE

…As Well As Anyone Who Just Loves A Fun-Fright-Flick.

THE OBLONG BOX

…Brings The Joy AND Fun By The Bucketful!

In All Honesty…

…You May Even Find…

THE OBLONG BOX

…MORE Entertaining Than Some Of The Other Flicks Of Its Type From…

…”AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL” Studios.

VINCENT PRICE

…Brings His “Horror’ish-”A”-Game” Here…

(Would You Expect Any Less From The Man!)

…And…

CHRISTOPHER LEE

…Does The Very Same.

(Of Course!)

Is It Odd That Horror Films Never Scare Me…

…But They Just Make Me Smile???

GREAT!!!

I Didn’t Think It Was Odd, Either.

In Fact…

…I’m Pretty Certain They Do The Same Exact Thing To A LOT Of Y’all!!!

If They Didn’t…

…Would You Keep Coming Back For MORE???

EXACTLY!!!

OF COURSE YOU WOULDN’T!!!

SO…

THE OBLONG BOX

I Sincerely Hope Y’all Have A Grand Weekend, My Peeps.

What Will YOU Be Doing???

:D

What’s On Right This Second??? “OPEN RANGE” (2003)

Sooooo…

…Was…

DANCES WITH WOLVES

…Honestly THE BEST FILM Directed By…

KEVIN COSTNER

???

Not Really.

What Was???

OPEN RANGE

!!! !!! !!!

I Was An Immediate Fan Of This Flick Upon Its Release In 2003.

The Performances Are True AND Honest…

…As Is The Story Being Told.

THE CLIMAX Of The Film…

…Is An EXCEPTIONAL Shoot-Out…

…That Easily Speaks To The Heart Of ANY True Fan Of The Western Genera.

I’ve Been A Fan Of BOTH…

KEVIN COSTNER

…And…

ROBERT DUVALL

…For The Bulk Of My Lifetime…

…And This Film Is A Feather In The Cap Of BOTH Men.

I Can Easily Recommend It To Y’all…

…As It’s One Of THE BEST WESTERNS Of The 21ST-CENTURY.

.PERIOD.

Happy Viewing, My Peeps.

Happy Viewing, INDEED!!!

“…IT WRITHES!…

…IT WRITHES!…

…With Mortal Pangs…

…The Mimes Become Its Food…

…And The Angels Sob At Vermin Fangs…

…In Human Gore Imbued! …”

“…Out…

…Out Are The Lights…

…Out All!…

…And…

…Over Each Dying Form…

…The Curtain…

…A Funeral Pall…

…Comes Down With The Rush Of A Storm…

…And The Seraphs…

…All Haggard And Wan…

…Uprising…

…Unveiling…

…Affirm…

…That The Play Is The Tragedy “Man”…

…It’s Hero THE CONQUEROR WORM.”

Just An Exceptional Poem I’ve Known Forever…

…And Something I Sincerely Felt Like Sharing With Y’all.

I’m Taking Care Of My Grandpa Today…

…And I’ve Been Reading While He’s Been Napping.

This One…

THE CONQUEROR WORM

…Is A Personal Favorite…

…And One I Felt Y’all Might Enjoy.

Hope Your Day Is Going Well, My Peeps.

Mine Has Been Slow AND Quiet…

…But I Shall NOT Complain About That.

Slow AND Quite Can Be Simply PERFECT From Time To Time.

Today Is One Of Those Times.

Can Y’all Dig My Jive???

I KNEW YOU COULD!!!

“Don’t Ask Me… What You Know Is True… Don’t Have To Tell You… I Love Your Precious Heart…” — INXS (“Never Tear Us Apart” (1987))

…I…

…I Was Standing…

…You Were There…

…Two World Collided…

…And They Could Never Tear Us Apart. …

**** **** **** ****

The Album "KICK" By INXS (1987)

**** **** **** ****

…We Could Live…

…For A Thousand Years…

…But If I Hurt You…

…I’d Make Wine From Your Tears…

…I Told You…

…That We Could Fly…

…’Cause We All Have Wings…

…But Some Of Us Don’t Know Why. …

**** **** **** ****

"NEVER TEAR US APART" Was A Hit Single From The Album "KICK" By INXS

**** **** **** ****

…I…

…I Was Standing…

…You Were There…

…Two Worlds Collided…

…And They Could Never Ever Tear Us Apart. …

**** **** **** ****

I Told Y’all I Was On An INXS Kick…

…And This Song…

NEVER TEAR US APART

…Is One Of THE VERY BEST SONGS Of The 1980s.

.PERIOD.

I’ve Been Listening To It Forever…

…But Even More So This Past Week.

Talk About An AMAZING Little Number.

NEVER TEAR US APART

…Is (likely) THE BEST SONG By…

INXS

…You’ve (likely) Never Heard…

…Nor Even (likely) Heard Of.

.Period.

A Truly Great Song…

…And A Totally FORGOTTEN CLASSIC.

Hope You Enjoy It, Kiddies.

And Please Try To Have A Damn Decent Day.

I Shall Be Endeavoring To Do Exactly The Same.
