Re: TCM Underground Movies
bold yes, but "ewwww" - I could see why MST3000 didn't try and dare to do a riff on this - sure there's some bad awkward acting, but the overall theme and that 'one' scene in particular - made me feel dirty.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
^Yup. I know exactly which scene you're talking about. That scene was chopped to bits on one of my "Cult movies" sets and I wasn't complaining one bit to see that uncut.
Sure enough, out of curiosity, I gave TCM's version a look last night and noticed that the A/V was in superb condition compared to the disc I have. From that point on, I knew that a "Complete" version they had was about to be unleashed

Was pissed. My guide (AT&T) had Black Caesar listed, instead I got Child Bride. Did I see the scene you guys are talking about? My recording ended at the wedding.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
as for the film, started out with a 'massacre' then sporadically got bogged down with some over the top hammy acting - but at a mere 79 minutes it moved quite briskly.
It's interesting that the film is listed at the beginning of the end credit crawl of the film as 'Like Father Like Son' but went out as both 'Massacre Mafia Style' and 'The Executioner'

After an excellent past 2 months, Underground will take a breather for TCM's Oscar marathon.
Trailer encore!

I saw The Baby 25 years ago, and remember very little about it.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
I should have known, it was too good to be true. I just read this on Twitter. "Due to a rights issue, THE CANDY SNATCHERS airing tomorrow night is being replaced with HEAVENLY BODIES (1985). Sorry about that, folks." Despite Heavenly Bodies, having a Sparks theme song and an aerobics-off. I was really looking forward to finally seeing The Candy Snatchers.

Is Massacre... not out on DVD yet? I thought it had been released. Strange movie, that.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
Pretty good double feature tonight. Blue Sunshine and the truly bonkers Hausu. And not TCM Underground, but still very cool, Next Thursday 5-15, at 4pm, TCM will be showing Wise Blood and Night Of the Hunter, back to back.

I heard that recently, when TCM showed The Way We Were cropped from 2.35 to 1.78, hopefully it was just an aberration and not a blemish on their excellent record.

New dbl-feature tonight
Haven't seen Visitor yet, but saw Tentacles on last year's horror challenge and liked it more than I thought I would.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
^Thanks for the reminder! I really contemplated on giving that movie a blind-buy ever since it was released. So glad to finally get to have a look at it tonight.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
Even though it's got it's own thread, MIAMI CONNECTION's appearance tonight is making TV history

Re: TCM Underground Movies
Wow. Even this showing was closed-captioned. Fuck Frozen. This was the ultimate sing-along!

Re: TCM Underground Movies
This did not get mention, but a few weeks ago TCM Underground had the first-ever American showing of Nothing Lasts Forever starring Zach Galligan. I just watched it today off my DVR. Real trip of a movie, even if it doesn't make a lot of sense. The way they used set designs to re-create a 1940s effect was nothing short of amazing.

Re: TCM Underground Movies
Visitor & Tentacles are on tonight. As Brainee perfectly said from the last October challenge:
Believe the man!
I just watched The Visitor (1979) for the first time. It's like a cross between Star Wars, The Omen, 2001, The Birds, The Fury ... and The Fish That Saved Pittsburgh. Amazingly, I get the sense that everyone making this was completely serious.
