'Out Of Gas'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
The sleeper in there might be Body Snatcher, which has: (a) a fantastic performance by Karloff; (b) some fascinating grey moral dilemmas; (c) is genuinely scary and creepy in places.

I think he took over the production of Curse of the Cat People from somebody else who wasn't working out.
He had been an editor for a long time. (He worked on Citizen Kane.)
He worked on Citizen Kane.
And more infamously The Magnificent Ambersons - he was in charge of the editing of the film after it was taken away from Welles.
hee! I just saw Logan's Run is shipping to my roommate today from Netflix. I wonder if he has any idea what sort of movie it's going to turn out to be.

Heh. At least Flash Gordon knew it was campy.
Well, yeah. It had to build an on-set camp factory, having already used up the world's supply before production wrapped.
Ha - before I clicked, I assumed you were talking about this.
