The Cobalt Club Screening Room

Oh, I'm in the mood today. How about a Laurel & Hardy mini marathon? Blame Jeff, he got me started a few days ago.

Busy Bodies (1931)

Starring Stan and Ollie.

Chickens Come Home (1931)

Starring You Know Who!

The Music Box (1932)

Yup, it's them again.

The Live Ghost (1934)

We're getting redundant here.

And finally, a feature length addition.

Saps at Sea (1940)

Well... you know by now.

And a very special extra. Because I'm trying to ease Jeff into the silent era. This film has some off the most iconic scenes from the silent comedy era.

Safety Last (1923)

Starring Harold Lloyd.

Oh, Dude, I've been in the silent era for years, ever since I retired from teaching. I just have been catching up on my Pre-Code Happiness.

EXCELLENT!!! Then I won't have to bombard you with Douglas Fairbanks Sr., Clara Bow and the rest of the wonders from this era. Of course the run time on many of the epics from this period, make me think that Kevin Costner may have time warped back to this aforementioned era.

All right, roll those tongues back in and try to control the drooling.

Pin Up Girl (1944)

Starring Betty Grable, John Harvey and Martha Raye.

A little George M. Cohan action here.

Little Nellie Kelly (1940)

Starring Judy Garland and George Murphy.

Tales of Manhattan (1942)

Starring Rita Hayworth, Charles Boyer, Ginger Rogers and Henry Fonda.

Just one feature for today. Mostly, because I doubt anyone will wanna watch a second feature after this stinker. In my mind, worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space. The special effects, acting, dubbing and action choreography are... well, let's just call em' "Special". I'll try to add more tomorrow. But right now, I just feel so "dirty".

Invaders from Space (1965)

A bunch of pernicious salamander men from the planet Kulimon in the Moffit Galaxy plan on taking over Earth by unleashing a lethal plague on mankind. It's up to valiant superhero Starman from the Emerald Planet to save the human race before it's too late.

Starring Ken Utsui as Starman.

Holy schnikes! It's Gorgonzola The Cheese Monster!
Jeff

I prefer to think of myself as the Cheese Whiz.

What's it gonna be today? I think classic westerns fit the bill.

When The Daltons Rode (1940)

Starring Randolph Scott and Kay Francis.

NORTHWEST STAMPEDE (1948)

Starring Joan Leslie and James Craig.

And just to prove that my tastes are a bit eclectic, a not western.

Nightmare Alley (1947)

Starring Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell.

The rise and fall of Stanton Carlisle, a mentalist whose lies and deceit prove to be his downfall.

Well folks, it's the day after Thanksgiving and the beginning of the Christmas season. So, how about some leftover turkey to start the holiday season? And this is some of the most embarrassing turkey ever served. Most of those involved still wish this foul fowl would just disappear into oblivion. But here I am to serve it up to all of you.

The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978)

Starring: Many who prefer to remain nameless. But it's basically the entire original blockbuster cast. Plus many more miscast individuals who were major names in television at the time.

Well folks, it's Christmas eve. So, who's up for a bit of Christmas cheer? We'll start things off with:

Merry Christmas Mr. Bean
