Covering Comics #12 – Marvel’s Other Genres (Part One)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Dec 5, 2015
I’ve often said that I miss the comics covers of old. Those covers were designed, unlike many of the ones being produced today which are merely mini-posters spotlighting the titular character without giving any indication of the story contained inside, to draw readers in and make them anxious read more
A Classic Television Thursday Bonus – Letters To Laugh-In (1969) and Baggy Pants And The Nitwits (1977)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Dec 3, 2015
There are times while I’m researching these posts that I am completely caught off guard by something that will turn up. That’s what happened while I was looking for information for today’s post on Dan Rowan and Dick Martin’s Laugh-In. As a matter of fact, it happened twice. L read more
Classic Television Thursday #50 – Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In (1968-1973)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Dec 3, 2015
Last time I mentioned that the cornpone comedy Hee Haw was heavily influenced by Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, (generally referred to simply as Laugh-In) so it seemed only fitting this week to take a look at the original show itself. I suppose I’d never really given the name of the show m read more

I’m Declaring Today To Be A New Holiday – Blaxploitation Friday
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 27, 2015
To say that I am not a fan of Black Friday could really be the definition of the word “understatement”. I’m not going to get into all the reasons for that here, because if you feel the same way I do, then you already understand most of them, and if you’re a huge fan of the da read more
Quentin Tarantino And Friends Explain Ultra-Panavision
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 26, 2015
Not long ago I posted about Quentin Tarantino’s plans to mount a 70mm “roadshow version” of his upcoming film The Hateful Eight. Now he’s put together a video featurette with some of his stars and some of the people behind the movie showcasing and explaining the decisions and read more

Trailer Trash – A Quick Look At Some Exploitation Movie Trailers
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 21, 2015
I’m working on an article about exploitation movies that will probably hit this page sometime late next week depending on the Thanksgiving holiday, etc., but I thought just for fun in the meantime I’d throw a few trailers up for some of these grindhouse “classics” for your we read more
Classic Television Thursday #49 – Hee Haw (1969-1992)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 19, 2015
I’m not sure that I really loved the TV show Hee Haw when I was a kid, or whether I just remember it that way through a nostalgic haze. Either way, it was definitely a Saturday night staple here in my Nashville home. One thing I was surprised to find out when I was looking up information on th read more

Two Bites Of Hateful Tarantino News: 70mm And A Playboy Comic
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 15, 2015
There’ve been two bits of Quentin Tarantino news recently related to his upcoming movie The Hateful Eight that I felt were worth commenting on. First of all, The New York Times reports that Tarantino and The Weinsein Company have spent the past year and a half working to open the new film in a read more
Turning Purple – Here’s The New Trailer For Netfilx/Marvel’s Jessica Jones
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 10, 2015
Yep, Marvel/Netflix have released one more trailer for Jessica Jones just in case you needed a bit more convincing at this point. But really, if you are a fan of what they did with Daredevil, do you? Or, for that matter if you weren’t a fan of it, or don’t care, are you even going to tak read more
I’m Not Sure Which Is More Terrifying, Ash’s Facial Contortions Or The Deadites – Ash vs Evil Dead (The TV Series)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 7, 2015
I’m reminded of those old Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup commercials: “You got your comedy in my horror!” “You got your horror in my comedy!” It’s two great tastes that go great together. It’s Ash vs Evil Dead! I may have just found my favorite new horror m read more
Hope Is Not Lost – Here’s The New International Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 6, 2015
I’m really trying not to get too psyched too early for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, but every time we get a new trailer, especially one like this new international trailer which has so much new footage, it’s kind of hard to suppress that “Oh, heck yeah, this is going to be GOOOOD! read more
Haters Gonna Hate – Here’s The New Trailer For QT’s The Hateful Eight
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 5, 2015
Ah, Christmas. Usually you have to spend Christmas Day with people that you at least have to pretend that you love. Or at least like. Or are willing to tolerate. That’s one of my theories about why theaters tend to be packed on the day. Because once the presents are unwrapped and the dishes ar read more
Mirror Mirror On The Wall – Here’s The New Trailer For Alice Through The Looking Glass
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 5, 2015
Well, apparently Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland made enough money for Disney to go ahead with a sequel, Alice Through The Looking Glass, although is time around it’s not Burton in the director’s chair. This time the task falls to James Bobin, though it’s obviously based on read more
Classic Television Thursday #48 – The Norliss Tapes (1973)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 5, 2015
The past couple of weeks in this space we’ve looked at the Dan Curtis produced made for television movies The Night Stalker and The Night Strangler, topping the Halloween celebration off with a look last week at the TV series that sprang from them. I’d originally planned for that to be t read more
Disappointing Star Wars Character Posters Make Their Debut
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Nov 4, 2015
It’s not so much that these posters for Star Wars: The Force Awakens are disappointing in and of themselves. As far as they go, they’re perfectly fine examples of what most of the studios are releasing nowadays to promote their films. But that’s kind of the point: they’re pre read more

Daylight Noir, Or, Are Any Of Them Really Little? – Little Murders (1971)
Durnmoose Movie Musings Posted by Michael on Oct 31, 2015
***Spoiler Alert*** Yeah, I’m going to go ahead and throw the spoiler tag up here because I’d be willing to bet that very few of you have ever seen this movie, or have even heard of it, and – not to give too much away here – you really should. And even though I’m only g read more
