TCM Genre movies schedule... - Page 31

Playing "follow the link" I just came "this close" (imagine me nearly pressing my thumb and index figure to gether) to those images on this page...

...but the link was broken. The various comments suggest the images I remember were not actually drawn by Pierce's hand, but were presented by other parties to hopefully inspire or guide the eventual design.

Sincerely,

Bill

Starting Wednesday, November 28th...

8:00 PM EST: The Time Machine (1960)
10:00 PM EST: The Andromeda Strain (1971)
12:15 AM EST: Solaris (1972)
3:15 AM EST: 2010 (1984)
5:15 AM EST: From the Earth to the Moon (1958)

I still haven't seen Solaris, so I'll check that out.

TCM had Camelot! on last night. Must have been 25 years since I last saw it. It was much slower moving than I remember.

Klaus · November 25 2012, 12:38 AM

They must be doing an sf night in their books-to-film theme for the month...

I've only ever seen a few bits of Solaris, it's very deliberately paced... Andromeda Strain remains one of the most accurate translations of a novel to screen I've ever seen, and 2010 is a lot of fun. I saw a bit of Earth to the Moon when they showed it last month, it looked cool.

And as much as I love Arthurian legend, Camelot is pretty snoozy.

Christopher · November 25 2012, 12:48 AM

Oh, yeah, I hadn't noticed -- those are all films based on SF novels. And I've read all five novels, but I've only seen four of the films. I should check out Solaris.

Harvey · November 25 2012, 02:18 AM

Solaris is an interesting film, although the pacing might get on some people's nerves. The 2002 remake isn't too shabby, either.

Agent Richard07 · November 25 2012, 06:21 AM

^ I enjoyed the 2002 version. I just ordered it on DVD this morning.

Harvey · November 25 2012, 10:59 PM

I'm waiting for the Blu-Ray release. (The Criterion version of the original, on Blu-Ray and DVD, is superb).

Agent Richard07 · November 26 2012, 12:51 AM

^ I would have waited too, but I don't see any plans for a Blu-ray release.

Harvey · November 26 2012, 01:34 AM

I'm patient enough to wait. Although it was a financial failure at the box office, the names of George Clooney, Steven Soderbergh, and James Cameron are enough to guarantee that it will be released in high definition...eventually.

Klaus · November 26 2012, 05:10 AM

Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger is on right now... it does have Ray Harryhausen fx and a young Jane Seymour.

RJDiogenes · November 26 2012, 10:15 AM

The Golden Voyage of Sinbad was on, too. That one had Caroline Munroe. Both of those are really good.

Harryhausen/Schneer should have followed Golden Voyage almost immediately, before Harryhausen's skills/time began to suffer as seen in Eye of the Tiger. Imagine if EOTT had GV's level of refined efx. That would have been an off-the-charts experience.

RJDiogenes · November 26 2012, 11:45 PM

True. Eye Of The Tiger didn't quite have the magic, unfortunately. I barely remember it.

Klaus · November 27 2012, 02:47 AM

I wasn't overly impressed with the parts I saw, though I didn't realize 'til the credits rolled that Patrick Troughton played Melanthius... The guy playing Sinbad didn't really leave an impression and it was odd seeing him in an arctic setting.
