Your Upcoming Good Stuff On TCM Thread

[Curt McGirt]

Most of those were on TV last night. I watched my standard amount of Mad Max, so at least (at LEAST) the open. Because I am a rocker, I am a roller, I am an out of controller. I had a mind to watch Star 80 but it felt too depressing to get into. Looking for Mr. Goodbar was on the other night too and I quit on it. 

I checked out the guide and it's kind of a bland week. There's a classic horror day with the usual suspects but that's about it.

I’m watching Heavy Metal now. Always forget Ivan Reitman produced it, hence all the SCTV guys in it.

as I joked to my friend, I presume Star 80 is not part of a Bogdanovich memorial/

Bogdanovich refused to let Fosse use his name.  I forget the name of the bogus stand-in they used for him in Star 80.

Him marrying Stratton's 18 or whatever old sister is one of the creepier Hollywood complings that nobody talks about.

Imagine getting skewered by Bob Fosse of all people for being a sleazy entertainment industry type.

Man, I haven't seen Land of the Dead in forever. And they never show it on TV, and I don't have a physical copy. 

They also never show Survival of the Dead on TV but for good reason
