Jess Franco obituary

I just confirmed by searching the New York Times web page. The NYT did not print an obituary when Jess Franco died. Some other papers did, but not the Time. I guess the death of someone who was a...

Cleveland's Ghoul horror show host

Let's hear it for The Ghoul! He helped keep me sane(relatively) in high
school.
I believe his real name was Ron Sweed, and "The Ghoul" was a continuation of the "Ghoulardi" character, only they...

overrused vampire plot

How many vampire movies have used the following plot?
Dracula awakes in the 20th century, and finds a woman who is the reincarnation of the woman he loved in blah blah blah.
About a zillion, right?...

Speaking of villains, how about the bad guy in The Crow? It's also sort of interesting that we never actually find out his name in the movie (tho I believe the script refers to him as Top Dollar.)

Was Wolverine a supporting character? He certainly stole X-Men.
I think that Claude Rains kind of stole Casablanca.

It's not in the street but on a train, but I like the fight between Sean Connery and Robert Shaw in "From Russia with love." There is no music. You can hear every blow and grunt.

I don't know if it's overrating, but so many cable movies seem to think that Willy Wonka is suitable for children.

Talk about begging for spoilers!
I like the ending the the original "Phantasm." If you think the movie is over, and you walk out two minutes early, you will miss it.

Producers? Roger Corman, and Jess Franco, who was the world's Roger Corman. It still bugs me that the New York Times didn't give him an obit. They gave one to Paul Naschy
