Eli Roth on “The Mole People”
Jun 25, 2009
Trailer 299 of 692
One of the less beloved Universal sci-fi horrors of the '50s, this monster-laden lost civilization potboiler still has its fans. If Howard Hawks had trouble figuring out how a Pharoah talked, imagine how hard it was for writer Laszlo Gorog (Gorog spelled backwards) to approximate the speech patterns of Ancient Sumerians!

In 1960, my very first job was as an usher at the Apollo Theater on the boardwalk in Atlantic City, New Jersey where "Psycho" played for most of that summer. I probably saw the film more than fifty times and could recite it from memory...
Ray Cunneff on The Man In The White Suit

I was about eight years old when I first was exposed to the wonderful Ealing comedies starring Alec Guinness, "Kind Hearts and Coronets", "The Ladykillers", "The Lavender Hill Mob" and most memorably "The Man in the White Suit". The idea that something so obviously beneficial as this miraculous new fabric could pose such a threat to both business and labor interests was a mind-blowing idea then and still resonates all these years later...

One of my all-time favorites, although I never really thought about it as a 'gay' film. I think it's just plain hilarious, skewering pretention and pomposity with both style and bohemian sensibility...

Came here this morning looking for Bad Timing, but it's not posted yet. I like the irony of that.

Amazing film, saw it years ago, and it inspired me to eventually to my own walkabout, a 3-day trek through the outback of Kakadu in Northern Australia with an Aboriginal guide who grew up in the area (and knew David Gulpilil). Saw a lot of the wildlife depicted in the film (snakes, lizards, spiders, wallaroos--kind of a cross between a kangaroo and a wallaby--wild horses, water buffalo, crocodiles)...

For a second there I thought Soul Pilot typed "The Jeffersons" instead of "The Jetsons". I guess I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing dry cleaning fluid.
