Quote of the Week (50)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 5, 2012
This week’s quote is another that isn’t by Timothy, but about him: “It’s very sad that Tim never got to make The Insect Trainer. It really was the pinnacle project of his life. Tim worked on it for many years. Many actors wanted to work on The Insect Trainer with Tim, because read more
Pic of the Day: “Convicts 4″ revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 3, 2012
Our pic for today takes another look at Convicts 4 (1962), based on the book Reprieve by John Resko, an account of his time in prison. Tim, as fellow prisoner Nick, is startled by the sudden breakout of a big fight between Resko (Ben Gazzara) and Iggy (Ray Walston). As I’m sure we’re al read more
Bonus Pics: RIP Ben Gazzara
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 3, 2012
I am riding a serious bummer over the news of the death earlier today of Ben Gazzara. A little voice had told me to post a pic from Convicts 4 this morning; so glad that I did. Here are a few more pics of Gazzara with Timothy, from that film and also The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976). Rest wel read more
Pic of the Day: “The Devil’s Gas” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 2, 2012
Today’s pic is another from The Devil’s Gas (1987), the surreal short film written and directed by Timothy’s son Romeo. It was essentially Tim’s last film performance. He portrays Professor Petro, lecturing on Salvador Dali‘s famous essay on farting, and looking rather read more
Video of the Week: “Angels on Ice”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Feb 1, 2012
It’s Wednesday and that means it’s time for the Video of the Week! This week it’s a compressed version of the Charlie’s Angels episode “Angels on Ice,” a two-parter that first aired on September 21, 1977. Timothy is the leader of a Russian (I think?) gang out to s read more
Pic of the Day: “Bayou” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 31, 2012
Our pic for today is from Bayou (1957), directed by Harold Daniels, re-released with added sensationalist footage to the Southern drive-in audience as Poor White Trash by producer M.A. Ripps in 1961. I absolutely could not resist posting this shot of Tim. It is, to me, the very definition of swagger read more
Don’t Forget the Blogroll and the Forum
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 31, 2012
Hey gang, just a reminder that to your right is a rather extensive blogroll. It’s showcasing some really top drawer blogs I’ve come across over the past few months, touching on old movies, classic jazz/R&B, vintage style, and all that type of thing. There’s some rather awesome read more
Pic of the Day: “The Gunfight at Dodge City” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 30, 2012
Heading off the work week is another look at The Gunfight at Dodge City (1959), directed by Joseph M. Newman and starring Joel McCrea as Bat Masterson. Tim is uncredited as Forbes, crooked deputy to crooked Sheriff Jim Regan (Don Haggerty). I’m fairly certain that’s Mauritz Hugo on Tim&# read more
Quote of the Week (51)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 29, 2012
HARRY: Hey! I’ll get there… won’t I? AL (smiling): Yes, I guess you will. HARRY (grabbing Al’s arm): That’s my buddy… can I do anything for you?… now, do you need help? AL: The police station is around here, isn’t it? HARRY (taken aback): The police read more
Pic of the Day: “East of Eden” (1981) revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 28, 2012
Today’s pic (and don’t forget about clicking for embiggening) revisits the television miniseries East of Eden, first broadcast on February 8, 1981. Based on the epic novel by John Steinbeck, it features a much-too-short cameo by Timothy as a fire-and-brimstone circuit-riding preacher. A read more
Pic of the Day: “Hellgate” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 27, 2012
Wrapping up the week is another rather awkward shot of Timothy from Hellgate (1952). He’s the henchman of bad guy James Anderson (so memorable in To Kill a Mockingbird [1962]), delivering his only line. In someone else’s voice. I imagine director Charles Marquis Warren was not crazy abou read more
Pic of the Day: “Andrew Johnson” revisited (1)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 26, 2012
Today’s pic is another from the Profiles in Courage episode “Andrew Johnson,” first airing on February 28, 1965. Tim is Hartwick, the leader of a gang of roughnecks harassing Andrew Johnson (Walter Matthau), 17th president of the U.S., who was struggling with reconstruction issues read more
Video of the Week: “What’s the Matter with Helen?”
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 25, 2012
Our video for this week showcases Tim’s appearance in Curtis Harrington‘s What’s the Matter with Helen? (1971). He steals the show as usual, as a scruffy, tattered bum appealing to the good graces of Debbie Reynolds in Depression-era Hollywood. He first appears at about the 8:35 ma read more
Pic of the Day: “Fire Man” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 24, 2012
It’s time for another look at Tim in The Greatest American Hero episode “Fire Man,” first airing on May 6, 1981. Garage doors are closing and drawers are opening all by themselves! And suddenly this guy shows up again, in a ridiculous red suit! He wasn’t there a second ago! W read more
Quote of the Week (52)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 22, 2012
“[Francis Ford] Coppola wanted me so much to be in The Godfather. But the stage wasn’t right. I just would have made a lot of money, and when you make a lot of money, it doesn’t help an artist because the more money you have, the more trouble you have. Except to make a film, that&# read more
Pic of the Day: “The Killing” revisited (3)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 20, 2012
Today’s pic on this rainy (here in Portland, anyway) Friday is another one from Stanley Kubrick‘s The Killing (1956). Actually, I should have posted this one last Friday since it was Friday the 13th, and this is surely the unluckiest horseshoe of all time. This could be the only pic I&# read more
Pic of the Day: “Rio Conchos” revisited (2)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 19, 2012
We now join our regularly scheduled program, already in progress… Our pic for today is another shot from Rio Conchos (1964), directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Richard Boone, Stuart Whitman and Tony Franciosa. Tim has a small but memorable role as Chico, a cantina owner who is a bit of a read more
STOP SOPA/PIPA
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 18, 2012
As you may have heard and seen, today many websites are participating in a blackout to call attention to and protest the threatened passage of the United States Congress’ Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA). Unfortunately, it appears I have the wrong read more
Pic of the Day: “Mermaids of Tiburon” revisited (4)
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 17, 2012
Today’s pic takes us back to Mermaids of Tiburon (1962), directed by underwater photography specialist John Lamb and starring actress, model and belly dancer Diane Webber as the Mermaid Queen. Timothy and henchman Jose Gonzales-Gonzales are in hot pursuit of the mermaids’ hidden treasure read more
Quote of the Week AND Pic of the Day: “Finger Man” revisited
The Timothy Carey Experience Posted by Marisa on Jan 16, 2012
I’m a day behind on our quote for the week, so today you get that and our pic for today, which ties in with the quote. See what I did there? “Another time I did a show called Finger Man with Frank Lovejoy. They needed some publicity for the show, so I went to the Santa Monica Pier and I read more
