God Hilliard says: VOTE FOR ME!
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 6, 2012
…or you might as well just shoot yourself. It’s Election Day here in the United States. Now, I don’t recommend you vote for God Hilliard and his fascistic Eternal Man Party, nor do I advise you to shoot yourself (seriously – don’t). But, no matter in which direction yo read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 5, 2012
Our pic of the day is a British publicity still from Finger Man (1955), directed by Harold D. Schuster. Timothy’s sullen torpedo Lou Terpe is menacing the ill-fated blonde (not sure who the actress is) who has just told him, “Get your big wet paws offa me!” Lou’s boss, bootle read more
Quote of the Week (14)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 4, 2012
All of Carey’s collected stories to this point are borne of the humility of working class underdogs who dream of artistic expression. There’s Menudo, the 52-year-old Mexican singing cowboy from his teleplay, My Casa Is Yours, who still wants to become a pro soccer player. There’s t read more
Pic of the Day: “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 2, 2012
We close Halloween Week, in which we’ve been featuring screen shots of Timothy looking super-creepy, with probably the creepiest one of all. This is the final look he gives Seymour Cassel before he drives off into the night in The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). Legend has it that the insp read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Nov 1, 2012
We continue our theme of Timothy looking scary for Halloween Week with this chiller from The Devil’s Gas (1990), the surreal short directed by his son Romeo. Professor Petro’s student is having a very strange hallucinatory dream… Or is he??? Tim looks like a Dia de los Muertos ske read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 31, 2012
Halloween greetings to one and all! I’ve posted both of these before, but they’re the scariest ones I could come up with for today. First up is the trailer for Francis in the Haunted House (1956), the closest thing to a horror film that Timothy ever appeared in (unless you count Chesty A read more
Quote of the Week (15)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 28, 2012
In a letter to Carey (dated January 22, 1994), Ray Carney, a professor of film and American studies at Boston University, wrote: “Re: The Insect Trainer script–What an extraordinary, weird, wonderful, bizarrely unclassifiable work you’ve created. In the Joycean, Swiftian, Salvador read more

It’s way past time for another look at Obituary Bob, Timothy’s looney tunes axe murderer from “The Treasure of Sierra Madre Street,” the Tenspeed and Brown Shoe episode that first aired on June 20, 1980. OB is about to stage a diversion that involves the teddy bear. Tenspeed read more

The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 24, 2012
Our video of the week is another full-length television episode (let’s see how long this one stays up)! It’s “Satan, Cyanide and Murder,” the installment of The New Mike Hammer that first aired on April 14, 1984. I’ve set it to begin at the point where Kenny the Knife f read more
Pic of the Day: “The Killing of a Chinese Bookie” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 23, 2012
Today we take another gander at Flo, that enigmatic mix of bonhomie and brute force from John Cassavetes‘ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). Here he reminds Cosmo Vittelli (Ben Gazzara) of his obligations, as fellow gangster Phil (Robert Phillips) listens. As I believe I’ve mention read more
Pic of the Day: “Convicts 4″ revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 22, 2012
Our pic of the day is another promotional still from Convicts 4 (1962) (aka Reprieve), the prison drama written and directed by Millard Kaufman. The big cake-eating scene is about to begin. The notation on the back is worth quoting: 27. PRISON PARTY—Roland LaStarza, Tom Gilson, Ben Gazzara, a read more
Quote of the Week (16)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 21, 2012
GL: So you had a lot of trouble with other actors. TC: A few of them didn’t like what I was doing, yeah. I did a show with Bob Ryan once – he was great, but he wouldn’t allow a lot of takes. “This is it,” he’d say. Adolphe Menjou didn’t care much for me, eit read more
Pic of the Day: “Home to Methuselah” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 19, 2012
Our pic for today (and don’t forget for all pics, you may click to embiggen) is another from “Home to Methuselah,” the episode of The Virginian that was first broadcast on November 26, 1969. It’s always good to see Timothy laughing, even if it’s the desperate laugh of a read more

Pic of the Day: “Flight to Hong Kong” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 18, 2012
And out of that binder full of Timothy comes our pic of the day! It’s another bizarre promotional still for Flight to Hong Kong (1956), with another shot that isn’t actually in the movie. Along with this one, I’m sure these stills were basically used as models for poster artwork. read more
Video of the Week: “Paths of Glory” trial scene
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Oct 17, 2012
This week’s video puts Timothy front and center, literally. It features the questioning of Pvt. Ferol during the court-martial in Stanley Kubrick’s Paths of Glory (1957). Also in the scene are Richard Anderson, Kirk Douglas, and Adolphe Menjou. It was this scene that made me fall in love read more
