Talking Mr. T (1983)

Another entry in the half-assed attempt to document some of the things from my childhood that I'm now rehoming. Galoob's Talking Mr. T doll was released in the UK in 1983, afaik. I received it for Xmas, along with a bunch of A-Team stuff. It was a good year!

ABANDONED POST: The Amityville Movies (1979-96)

The Amityville Movies (1979-96)

Dirs. Various

Do the Amityville movies deserve a post? Absolutely not, they're mostly rubbish, horror shite, cliché, garbage, but I did it anyhow because they were already written (for a previous blog), which meant most of the work was simply copy/paste. It's Friday. It's pissing rain outside. And I wanted an easy post.

01. The Amityville Horror (1979), Dir. Stuart Rosenberg, which was reportedly based on true events, is the first of many not-very-good entries in the haunted house franchise.

Newly-weds Lois Lane (Margot Kidder) and a long-lost Gibb brother (James Brolin) occupy 112 Ocean Avenue, a house in which a vicious murder spree once occurred. Before long, their happy life develops a homicidal slant.

Most of what I know about the Masters of the Universe: Golden Books publications was learned from a Vaults of Grayskull page, which is also where the majority of the images used in this post were obtained, so all credit to the folks there for what's presented here. If seeing the covers collected on a blog is of interest to you, too, then proceed below the cut:

Sans Soleil: The Text (1983)

Sans Soleil (1983)

Author: Chris Marker | Page Count: N/A

As far as I know, the script for Chris Marker's San Soleil isn't available to purchase in physical book form.

However, the full text is freely available online. I've recreated it with additional formatting, for anyone that might wish to read it. The picture used is for illustrative purposes only, not an actual printed cover. The text is presented in full below the cut.

It's technically a film script but it more closely resembles a work of dramatic prose, with no footnotes, directions or shooting instructions to get in the way of the narrative flow.

It's probably beneficial to view the film before reading the text so that you can picture the imagery that Marker chose to complement each section with. But if your memory chooses to illustrate the missing visuals with something more personal, that's okay, too.
