re: Honey West from the mid60s

Posted by Aeolian Vocalion on 4/27/24 at 10:55 pm
I bought the dvd series-set of "Honey West" when it came out about 15 or so years ago. The show is a little on the ridiculous side, a little on the banal side, yet overall still manages to be pretty breezy and agreeable. Helping the series hugely is Anne Francis in the lead, who is such a likeable...
Judging from some old movie magazines I have from that era, it seems "The Story of Temple Drake" (1933) was the film that really set people off. And it is a pretty skeezy film. It was never circulating on television through the years, so it became a bit more obscure and forgotten than some others....
Talked to a number of folks, like my grandfather, who remembered that grapefruit scene from back when the film was new. Everyone found it really, really disturbing back then. In a way, it really is. Not just because of the base callousness of the act in isolation. But because of the context....
I can't really think of some specific memory, but I do get some occasional nostalgic pangs, thinking back to how much I enjoyed checking out all the various record stores when I'd spot them, back during the LP era. I recall being thrilled at discovering a shop, "Yesterday's Records and Tapes" in Au...
To add one thing to the mix (as there are so many aspects to all this, and I see where so many posters have nicely hashed them out)... With WW2 and then the initial years of the Cold War, and the nature of these situations, a lot of society really started looking up to the generals, the politici...
Was the tune "Wedding Bells (are breaking up that old gang of mine)" perhaps something of a comedic variation or sequel to that song? It apparently came a few years later. I recall encountering a 1929 recording of it from Harry Reser, among others. ...
Fight for 'this' country? A country that tears down its statues and spits on its own history and heritage? A country that is run by deviants and perverts, and does everything it can to fund and support depravity across the globe? A country that seems to already be at war with everything it once w...
Things like this are why I can really no longer give a damn if someplace like NY is on the receiving end of another 9/11. This nation has gone off the deep end. Non-stop celebration of depravity and perversion. More of a freak-show than an actual country. And yes, I do place 100% of the blame...
On the photo of the 'silent' era Our Gang, the fat kid in front is not Chubby Chaney, but Joe Cobb, who was in most of the silent films, and preceded Chubby. Cobb also far outlived Chubby. Freckled-face guy next to him is Harry Spear, and I think the blonde girl between Farina and Mary Ann is Je...
Never supported it, and never will. I'm not the least bit surprised it opened the door to all this degenerate, freak-show insanity, from pedos and drag-queen storytime to trannies and child-mutilations. I pretty much expected it. The country has turned into a truly ghastly, vomitous sewer. A...
Believe me, if I'm on a jury, with the case being some fellow citizen having dispatched one of Biden's foreign invaders, I'm voting 'not guilty' no matter the circumstances, and no matter how clear-cut the evidence. ...
The corporate world wants to emulate the Chinese model. They hate America's constant churn, with political elections causing unpredictability every four years. One administration enacting regulations and laws, and then another removing them, in a neverending, revolving-door fashion. They want a p...
There should be only two options for all these foreign invaders currently standing on American soil. Leave immediately, or get a bullet in their skulls. I don't care how hyperbolic it might sound, but if it doesn't happen, America is fully gone. ...
Impeachment is vastly too mild a penalty for what Biden has done, facilitating a foreign invasion onto American soil. Probably the most grave crime done to the nation by a public official in the country's history. He'll die off before he ever has to pay for the damage he's done, which will become ...
These people truly need killin.' Squatters, shoplifters, Biden's foreign invaders. Only way America can ever become a real country and real society once more. ...
I'm not going to compartmentalize this, as if it's just isolated thing the VA has done, because this is the kind of mind-blowing insanity that has been going on all over the country and within its institutions. It truly speaks to what a completely pathetic, retarded nation this has become. Abso...
I've tended for years to use the term "illegals," but with the size and scope and nefarious intent behind it all, I really, really believe "invaders" is by far the most accurate and appropriate word. Just as I firmly believe every single politician, bureaucrat, NGO official, sanctuary-city mayo...
Hope the execution goes through. Nothing puts a spring in my step more than hearing news reports of my state of Texas dispatching some scumbag to hell. Well, other than an armed vigilante dispatching some scumbag to hell, before they even get a chance to get entwined in our farcical legal ...
Biden, Mayorkas, the Catholic charities, the Sanctuary City mayors... they're responsible for this. The blood is dripping from their hands. True justice would have all of these traitors directly meeting up with an MS-13 machete for what they've done to this country. ...
Doesn't particularly engage me much, comparing America to other current countries and cultures. Most of Western Civilization seems to be on a rapidly downward spiral. I find it far more telling, comparing the nature of America-2024 to the country we used to be. And in that sense, yes, the c...
