Tolkein 2019

8/10

It was pretty good but it needed more magic

Have to see that one.

"Godzilla: King of Monsters". Look, folks, it has "Godzilla" AND "Monsters" in the title. If you're tied to a seat in the theater, you have a right to complain. Otherwise, just enjoy the over-the-top daikaiju stuff.

Earthly monster movies like Godzilla are not my cup of tea (with exceptions*).  I just can't "suspend my disbelief" for them. 

*  The original King Kong was great for the emotional aspect, and the remake and I saw the brontosaurus stapede while buying a new TV and it blew my socks off.  Plus Jurassic Park seeing the dinosaur CGIs...

This movies is going to be incredible.  Maybe Dark Knight quality.

Also, there's a theory going around that this joker is not The Joker, but a sort of proto-joker, an inspiration for the real Mistah J.  I subscribe to this theory.

I love Big Bug Movies, so daikaiju aren't that much of a stretch. I'm watching "THEM" right now.

The one with Whitmore in it?

Yep. I screwed up the chronology, running "Them" before "The Thing From Another World." Can you tell me why?

Saw that movie yesterday. The amount of silliness going on was too much for my tastes - 5/10.

If I remember right (becoming more problematical each day) Thing came before Them.

Yeah, but there's a more important sequence to consider.

Okay, ya got me---what's that?

James Arness was The Thing from Another World, aka the walking carrot. In "Them" he was an FBI agent, you could actually see his face. Shortly after that movie came out, while playing a Greek warrior in a play, Arness was spotted by agent Charles K. Feldman, who represented John Wayne. Feldman introduced Arness to Wayne, who put the self-described 6' 6" actor under personal contract. Arness played several roles over the next few years for and with Wayne, whom he considered a mentor. In 1955, Wayne recommended Arness for the lead role of Matt Dillon in the TV series Gunsmoke (1955).

I liked Arness and Gunsmoke--both listened to it on radio (with William Conrad as Dillon) and on TV.  Conrad's voice was good as Dillon but his physical presence wasn't Dillon-like.  Arness was perfect.  And I had not realized his back-story--thanks.
