Richard Easton, in one of his earliest British tv appearances, as US Air Force veteran Chuck Powers in The Saint: The Contract (3.14, ITC, 1965)

#fave spotting #richard easton #the saint #the brothers #brian hammond #the contract #1965 #itc #classic tv #character actors #like nick courtney‚ who pops up in the same episode‚ richard is barely onscreen for a minute #but at least he was credited and had a character name #he'd been in the uk for a couple of years at this point (moving between the uk‚ usa and canada throughout his career)#but (again as he did throughout his career) was mostly concentrating on the stage #certainly he wouldn't have been a recognisable face to british tv viewers (oh how times would change that)#he's very good in his brief turn here‚ as a former air force member invalided out and still bearing the scars (physical and mental) of his #accident. it's fairly sympathetically done all things considered

Do you remember the scene in The Secret History, when Richard attends the Greek class for the first time and Bunny starts asking them about which pens they use? And he makes fun of Henry for getting a Mont Blanc Meisterstück fountain pen.

That scene reminds of the scene in American Psycho when they compare business cards.

Imagine attending Bennington College in the early 80's with Donna Tartt and Bret Easton Ellis.

I think that's like my masochist fantasy.

What was comic about Brian was his illusions of grandeur, even before he got famous. He thought it was his band for some weird reason. The first demonstration of Brian’s aspirations was the discovery on our first tour that he was getting five pounds more a week than the rest of us because he’d persuaded Eric Easton that he was our “leader.”

Keith Richards, Life.

The Giant Spider Invasion (1975)

Someone needs to make a documentary about the making of The Giant Spider Invasion. This laughable picture about space arachnids terrorizing a small town should’ve been a fun but ultimately forgettable “big bug” movie. Instead, it’s a delightfully memorable one-of-a-kinder. The special effects are so bad it makes you wonder what was going through people’s heads as they were shooting.

In rural Wisconsin, a meteorite impact leaves behind strange geodes filled with diamonds and alien spiders that grow to enormous size. While the unsuspecting yokels go about their lives, Drs. J.R. Vance (Steve Brodie) and Jenny Langer (Barbara Hale) look for a way to close the intergalactic gateway from which the spiders are drawing their terrible strength.

At a skinny 84 minutes, The Giant Spider Invasion goes by quickly unless its attention is centered on a group of characters that really have no place in this movie. Dan Kester (Robert Easton) is cheating on his wife, Ev (Leslie Parrish). She doesn’t know but might suspect something because the man is always unhappy at home. That is, until he discovers diamonds in their field. Who cares if the cattle have been reduced to skeletons and there’s a dead body nearby? They're going to be rich! Meanwhile, Ev’s younger sister, Terry (Diane Lee Hart) witnesses the initial meteor impact while out with her boyfriend late at night. These people are only in the movie so they can be attacked later, which I guess makes them ‘important’ because the scenes of “terror” are the movie’s best.

There are quite a few spiders throughout the movie. These range from pet store tarantulas to unconvincing puppets, to what is pretty obviously a van dressed up as a gargantuan arachnid. We get a pretty good look at that last one and if it were a parade float, it would be impressive. As a beast that’s supposed to have people screaming and running for their lives, it’s hilarious. The legs move randomly and whenever it "eats", the actors have to heave themselves into its gaping maw so the technician inside will know when to dump buckets of fake blood everywhere. Whenever the beast appears, every trick in the book is used to obscure it. Either it’s shot from far away, or crowds of people are placed in front of it so that all we can see are the top of its body and the legs high above. This leads me to believe even in person it didn't look convincing. Compared to the puppets we see during the middle of the film, however, it's Jurassic Park. When Terry is attacked inside her home, it looks an awful lot like she’s wrestling with some furry pool noodles. It’s always funny and never gets old.

Also amusing is the grammatical garbage that’s being sold as “science” to explain what's happening. Unfortunately, the version of the film I watched didn’t have any subtitle options available but you still get the gist of it. Something about a black hole in the middle of the teeny crater where the spiders landed, and it feeding them waves from another dimension or something. It makes no sense.

The Giant Spider Invasion is so incompetent it's kind of cute. The special effects are a riot and when the spiders aren’t on-screen waving their furry arms, the plot is so inconsequential and lame you can effortlessly come up with sarcastic quips to throw at the screen. The beginning can be a bit slow but it makes it up during the conclusion, which pulls some camera tricks even someone who had never seen a movie before would point to and say “How dare you?!” Slightly slow introduction aside, this is what people think of they hear “so bad it’s good”. (March 4, 2022)

The Brothers: Investigations (4.3, BBC, 1974)

"Your father founded this company. Why do you want to sell shares to outsiders?"

"Well, as far as I'm concerned, I don't."

"Then why did you allow it to happen? Hammond's has always been a family business. Well, your father would turn in his grave if he knew what you were doing."

"Then Father should have left me in control of it, instead of deliberately arranging the opposite! He didn't trust me, that's what it amounts to. He thought that I needed Brian and David and Jennifer Kingsley, but once they get together my hands are tied."

#the brothers #BBC #classic tv #1974 #Roderick Graham #N.J. Crisp #Gerard Glaister #Patrick O'connell #Jennifer Wilson #Jean Anderson #Robin chadwick #Richard Easton #Hilary tindall #Derek benfield #Murray hayne #Margaret ashcroft #Jonathan Newth #the double dealing is in full sway already; with Brian and David scheming to bring a new director onto the board (and thus break #Ted's tie breaking monopoly) the elder Hammond brother sets about stacking the odds for himself with good old Bill Riley #he's also bought a snazzy new car and had a sign put on his parking space. nothing says midlife crisis like a personalised car parking #space Eddy.. elsewhere Brian follows up on a minor plot point from the previous series‚ a telegram Ann sent to Nick (bleugh) Fox whilst he #was abroad. I'm particularly impressed with this plot point bc it's a nice attention to a minor detail as well as organically setting up #Brian discovering their affair AND it's a nicely in character thing to do too (the eternal accountant‚ of course Brian would check through #their telephone charges). as the cogs start to whir‚ Brian's work starts to suffer‚ and just as a big contract is being hammered out #less happily (for me) Jenny seems to be getting closer to Mr Martin the bank man. I like him‚ I do‚ but let's face it Jenny and Ted #are end game! still at least it gets them out of the office and we have some nice location stuff going on #the final mystery of the week: the mysterious case of Gabrielle Drake.. she's been conspicuously absent from the series so far #initially away on a film shoot and now simply out of the room or just having left it whenever she's mentioned.. could she have moved on #to pastures new? that would eventually require a storyline to sort out just where Jill had ended up.. here's hoping it was just a schedule #issue and she'll turn up safe and sound...

Kris Ryder a.k.a. Tim “Chris” Andrews SONG OF THE WEEK! “She’s a Romantic” https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/shes-a-romantic-non-lp-single A hypnotic “power ballad” by Kris Ryder a.k.a. Tim “Chris” Andrews. Released in 1982 on the DJM label, it’s a sophomore effort following his debut LP on Polydor. “She’s a Romantic” was produced by and co-written with Julia Downes, songwriter for Sheena Easton, The New Monkees, and John Parr, and she later teamed up with Kris/Chris to write songs w/Roger Daltrey. While no credits are given on the vinyl copy, it sounds like much of the session crew from the Polydor sessions, with stunning keyboard parts and tasteful fretless bass (probably) by the legendary Mo Foster. For a B-side, “She’s a Romantic” stands as one of the “great lost tracks of the 80s,” on par with Gerry Rafferty, Cliff Richard, and Leo Sayer. https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/shes-a-romantic-non-lp-single
