Yeah, Jimmy, I have heard of them. I would not mind waking up in the middle of the night with Kate Beckinsale sitting on my chest, but a stanky old hag? Yeeeesh ...

jetophile Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Who remembers 'Ray Bradbury Theatre'? Well, 'theater', but you can't get the Queen's English outta me. I love the Lincoln puppet. Interesting thing about Bradbury, he almost had a nervous breakdown writing the screenplay for 'Moby Dick'. John Huston was a hard ass hump. Moby was a Sperm Whale, but it was worth the pun. Anyway, I probably would have thrown myself off of a building. The film turned out stellar of course, but I was glad as a kid that Ahab drowned. Yay, the monster wins! Oddly enough, in the wake of the novel, the whaling industry felt ten times more justified slaughtering whales with impunity. As an aside, the Hudson River was a tremendous trail for whale carcasses. Oh, well, whale oil supported us. It's a huge part of our past industry, our history, and economy. Lighting, heat, cosmetics, etc. So banshees. dIXPSRPS0O8 Peter O'Toole, I always belly-laughed at that. Word Play rules. "Lawrence of Gayrabia!" (awesome film). Good times when I was a kid with certain things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetophile Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 ^And that episode is TOTALLY autobiographical. John Huston in mind. Any fan of Bradbury takes that with a sledgehammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
