I’ve started watching the 2020 version of The Hardy Boys and I love it!

It’s a bit different from other adaptations but I love some of the changes. I like that Joe and Frank have a bigger age gap because I’m a big fan of the protective older brother trope especially if the younger brother is a lot younger. I wish they’d kept Biff the same but I do like her in the show

Also it has Atticus Mitchell in it which is awesome I loved him in MBAV

House of Bamboo

Although at times formally beautiful, HOUSE OF BAMBOO (1955, Criterion Channel) is one of writer-director Samuel Fuller’s more staid pictures. There’s nothing as vertiginous as the tight closeups in films like THE CRIMSON KOMONO (1959) or UNDERWORLD, U.S.A. (1961) or the dizzying moving camera in PARK ROW (1952), PICKUP ON SOUTH STREET (1953) or THE NAKED KISS (1964). Maybe that’s a function of the film’s being a remake (of William Keighley’s 1948 THE STREET WITH NO NAME) or of Fuller’s attempt to fit into the studio system. Robert Stack is a low-level crook who infiltrates Robert Ryan’s criminal band of ex-GIs pulling jobs in post-war Japan. Shooting in CinemaScope for only the second time, Fuller makes good use of his Tokyo locations to fill the screen with detail, but he only really cuts loose in a few scenes. There are two dazzling tracking shots, one as Shirley Yamaguchi (as a friend’s widow posing as Stack’s kept woman) goes shopping and is shunned by more upright women and another as Ryan’s gang robs a factory. Fuller also stages a fascinating moment of cultural clash when the traditional Japanese dance at a party turns into a wild jitterbug, with Japanese women in western attire dancing with kimono-clad Caucasian gangsters. And the final shoot-out in a rooftop amusement park is filled with fascinating details. But the story moves more slowly than usual in a Fuller film. Ryan is fascinating as the multi-layered gang boss, with just a hint of homosocial desire in the way he pits right-hand man Cameron Mitchell against Stack. Mitchell is effective as the gang’s chief hothead, but Stack plays with jaw so firmly clenched his character barely registers as human. Sessue Hayakawa is on hand (albeit dubbed by Richard Loo) as a Japanese police captain, while Biff Elliott and Robert Quarry are gang members. DeForest Kelley’s performance as another was long thought to be a walk-on when the film was only available in a pan-and-scan TV version. When 20th Century-Fox finally issued a restored CinemaScope print, he suddenly emerged as a major player.

Robert Ryan in House of Bamboo (Samuel Fuller, 1955) Cast: Robert Ryan, Robert Stack, Shirley Yamaguchi, Cameron Mitchell, Brad Dexter, Sessue Hayakawa, Biff Elliot, Sandro Giglio, DeForest Kelley, Eiko Hanabusa. Screenplay: Harry Kleiner, Samuel Fuller. Cinematography: Joseph MacDonald. Art direction: Addison Hehr, Lyle R. Wheeler. Film editing: James B. Clark. Music: Leigh Harline. More slickly made and visually spectacular than the typical Samuel Fuller movie, House of Bamboo was the product of his flirtation with a major studio, 20th Century-Fox. Made on location, it gives us some fine CinemaScope images of mid-1950s Tokyo, though it sometimes drifts away from the story into tourist mode to justify them, as in the scene in which the guy we know as Eddie Kenner (Robert Stack) tours a Buddhist temple on the pretext of having a clandestine meeting with the cops he's secretly working for. There's also not much reason why Sandy Dawson (Robert Ryan) should climb to the rotating observation platform on top of Matsuma department store for the final shootout, other than to provide some views of the city below. There's also an infusion of romance between Eddie and his supposed "kimona girl," as Sandy calls her, Mariko (Shirley Yamaguchi), that's a little more sugary than we expect of Fuller's men and women. Despite his concessions, the studio wasn't happy working with Fuller, and he went his independent way again. It's certainly not a bad movie -- it has action and suspense and fine work by cinematographer Joseph MacDonald -- but it feels a bit superficial.

On February 10, 1949, Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman opened at Broadway's Morosco Theater. Under the direction of Elia Kazan, the play starred Lee J. Cobb, Mildred Dunnock, Arthur Kennedy, and Cameron Mitchell. Death of a Salesman won the Pulitzer Prize and earned six Tony Awards, including  Best Play, Best Featured Actor (Arthur Kennedy), Best Director (Elia Kazan), and Best Scenic Design (Jo Mielziner).

In his review in the Daily News, John Chapman wrote, “’Death of a Salesman,’ which was presented last evening at the Morosco, is a fine work in the American theatre. I cannot urge it upon you too strongly. To see it is to have one of those unforgettable times in which all is right and nothing is wrong.”

NOTES: Two days before the show closed on Broadway. Good amount of closeups and good quality filmed from the mid-mezzanine; there is a railing issue for a while in Act 1 but the taper improves. 'Me', 'Gaston' and 'Be Our Guest' are all predominantly missing and recording stopped for some time after 'Gaston', which created a little jump in the timeline to where Maurice gets thrown out of the tavern. Still a nice video with great closeups of the last Broadway cast.

Great video quality overall and it includes full Act One and Act Two starting at Beetlejuice's entrance after Girl Scout through Curtain Call!

Beetlejuice - Broadway - March, 2019 (Preview) (StarCuffedJeans's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice), Sophia Anne Caruso (Lydia Deetz), Kerry Butler (Barbara Maitland), Rob McClure (Adam Maitland), Adam Dannheisser (Charles Deetz), Leslie Kritzer (Delia Deetz/Miss Argentina), Kelvin Moon Loh (Otho), Danny Rutigliano (Maxie Dean), Jill Abramovitz (Maxie Dean/Juno)

NOTES: Previews! This is probably my most obstructed bootleg ever. When I could get zooms they’re pretty (and I’m really trying my hardest for both Sophia and Kerry - “Dead Mom” looks GREAT and is really consistent), but I would probably consider this more like highlights with how many heads keep popping up. I don’t love it, but you can keep up with what is happening and see the WILD effects they have going on here...which is good enough for now. Video starts at “Ready, Set, Not Yet” and is complete from there. And honestly this video (and this show) is worth it just for “Dead Mom.”

NOTES: Most the first hour Act 1 is covered up or shot blind. When there’s something to see, it’s nice. The fidelity is cleaned up from the unfortunate dark ages of when it was shot, but the audio is a touch harsh.

Billy Elliot: The Musical - Broadway - February 14, 2009 FORMAT:  VOB (with smalls) (SD) CAST: Kiril Kulish (Billy), David Bologna (Michael), Haydn Gwynne (Mrs. Wilkinson), Gregory Jbara (Dad), Leah Hocking (Dead Mum), Santino Fontana (Tony)

NOTES: Nicely filmed from the balcony with a good balance of close-ups and full stage shots, although a little shaky at times. This is the first (and so far, only) video with Kiril Kulish in the role of Billy. Unfortunately about 15 minutes of the show is missing due to battery issues. What's missing is: Grandma's song "We Go Dancing", the scene between Dad and Tony, the beginning of "Deep Into The Ground", and the scene between Mrs. Wilkinson and Dad discussing Billy's ballet. It appears the filmer was trying to conserve battery power and was trying to focus on Billy's scenes. DVD has been enhanced with main menu and thumbnail images for access to the various songs. A-

The Book of Mormon - Broadway - March 7, 2011 (Preview) (SunsetBlvd79's master) FORMAT:  MP4 (HD) CAST: Andrew Rannells (Elder Price), Josh Gad (Elder Cunningham), Nikki M James (Nabulungi), Rory O’Malley (Elder McKinley), Michael Potts (Mafala Hatimbi), Lewis Cleale (Mission President)

NOTES: Notes: Listed in various places as both 3-7-2011 and 3-11-2011... it's due to a labeling error by the master. They are the same capture it's just the DVD Menu shows the capture date as 3-11-2011 while the poster at the beginning says 3-7-2011 A nice capture of this hilarious original show. A very solid and funny cast. Nikki does a fantastic job acting and vocally. On wide shots there can be heads on the sides, but nothing that really obstructs the action. During Broadway previews, less than a month before the official premiere. So there are differences from the Cast Recording. Very nice video of the show however a bar can be visible in wide shots but it doesn't interfere with anything.

NOTES: A fantastic capture of the second tour cast. This is the first known dvd of the 2NT, and the cast doesn’t disappoint. David and Cody are strong leads with great voices and comedic timing. Pierce is perfect as McKinley. Tallia also does a great job; she has a strong belt and does an endearing rendition of Sal Tlay Ka Siti. This is a very nice capture with no obstruction or blackouts, and only a bit of washout in superwide shots of high-contrast scenes. The video is very steady and the sound is excellent as usual. It’s filmed in 16:9 with a mix of wides, mediums, and close-ups. Includes curtain call.

The Book of Mormon - Sweden - 2017 (Highlights) FORMAT:  MKV (HD) CAST: Linus Wahlgren (Elder Price), Per Andersson (Elder Cunningham)

NOTES: Workshop all staged on barebones sets. Very interesting changes from the eventual Broadway version, including a much different “All American Prophet” (a squaredaney number called “The Bible is a Trilogy, Too”) This version is far less polished and focused but incredibly interesting to see for fans of the show.

NOTES: A great HD capture of the new musical which is based on the play. The ledge blocks the actors legs only when action is downstage far right, never really an issue with zooming in. A mix of Jersey Boys and West Side Story with upbeat music. A-

Don Marshall

Donald James Marshall (May 2, 1936 – October 30, 2016) was an American actor best known for his role as Dan Erickson in the television show Land of the Giants.

Early life

Marshall was born on May 2, 1936, to Alama Marashall in San Diego. He lived with his mother and his maternal grandmother, Leola Williams, his two older sisters and his twin brother (Douglas). He graduated high school from San Diego High School in 1954. While studying engineering between 1956 and 1957, he was encouraged to try acting by a friend, Peter Bren. Marshall was still in the army at this time, but later studied acting at the Bob Gist Dramatic Workshop, while undertaking a course in Theatre Arts at Los Angeles City College. While at college, he was a pole vaulter on the track team.

Career

1960s

Marshall's first professional role was in a 1962 Columbia Studios feature The Interns in an uncredited role. In 1964, he was in Shock Treatment, another uncredited role. Also in 1964, Marshall took the role of Chris Logan, playing opposite Nichelle Nichols in CBS Repertoire Workshop episode titled "Great Gettin' Up Mornin'", a made-for-TV-movie about an African-American family preparing their children for their first day at a racially integrated school in America's south. That same year, Nichols played Marshall's fiancée in a controversial episode of Gene Roddenberry's series The Lieutenant. In 1965, Marshall appeared in a pilot for a series Premiere in the episode "Braddock". In 1966 he appeared as the recurring character of Luke in Daktari.

Later in the 1960s he appeared in Roddenberry's next series, Star Trek portraying Lt. Boma in the episode "The Galileo Seven" (1967). Other TV series he appeared in were Tarzan (the series with Ron Ely), Dragnet 1967, and Ironside. In 1968, he appeared as Ted Neumann, the recurring love interest of Julia Baker, in the television series Julia, a series about an African-American widow raising her son on her own.

Land of the Giants

As a result of appearing in Premiere in the episode "Braddock", the actor met Irwin Allen, leading to Marshall gaining his role in Land of the Giants, in which he performed alongside Gary Conway, Don Matheson, Kurt Kasznar, Stefan Arngrim, Deanna Lund and Heather Young. The series, created by Irwin Allen, featured Marshall as a competent African-American in a leading role. This was also a first for an African American male in the 1960s to be featured so prominently in science fiction. The only other African American actors to be in such a position in the 1960s were Nichelle Nichols, known for her role as Lt. Uhura in the TV series Star Trek, and Greg Morris as electronics expert Barney Collier in Mission: Impossible.

On set, the actors had to perform many of their own stunts and Marshall's athleticism was an asset, he credited his previous football, track and pole vaulting work that helped him with the stunts required. In one of the episodes, "Ghost Town", while diving over a fire, Marshall actually dislocated his shoulder and the next day they had to shoot new scenes with Marshall's arm in a sling. Another episode "Giants and All That Jazz" that featured former world champion boxer Sugar Ray Robinson as Biff Bowers and Mike Mazurki as Loach, where Marshall had to teach Biff Bowers how to play the trumpet was one that Marshall in his own words calls "Beautiful" seems to be a favorite of his and made him want to act rather than follow or figure out what dialogue to use or say. He also says that actors had a better time on the set when Irwin Allen wasn't on the set. When he was it was very different and people would get uptight.

In later years Marshall wrote a script for a sequel to the series called Escape from a Giant Land. He hoped that it would be a big screen production and would feature as many original cast members as possible.

1970s

Marshall had a role in the made-for-TV-movie The Reluctant Heroes, aka The Egghead on Hill 656 (1971), a film that was directed by Robert Day. This was a war film set in the Korean War with men under a newly commissioned lieutenant who are trapped on a hill surrounded by the enemy. His character as Pvt. Carver LeMoyne was subject to continual racial abuse by Cpl. Leroy Sprague (Warren Oates). The film also starred Ken Berry, Jim Hutton, Ralph Meeker, Cameron Mitchell and Trini Lopez.

Marshall was subsequently cast in the role of Dr. Fred Williams in the science-fiction horror exploitation film The Thing with Two Heads (1972) which starred Ray Milland and Rosey Grier. This was a tale about a wealthy and racist white man who has his head transplanted onto the body of a black prisoner from death row. In 1974, he was cast in Uptown Saturday Night as Slim's Henchman. In 1976, he played the part of Captain Colter in an episode of The Bionic Woman and in 1979 he was in a two-part episode of Buck Rogers in the 25th Century as Julio. From 1978 to 1980, Marshall was in three episodes of The Incredible Hulk.

1980–2016

In the 1980s, Marshall had few roles, appearing occasionally in episodes of Little House on the Prairie as Caleb Ledoux, as Doctor Jim Blair in Finder of Lost Loves and as Senator Ed Lawrence in Capitol. In 1992 he played the concierge in the Paul Schneider directed made-for-TV-movie Highway Heartbreaker. Marshall has often stated that he was proud of his work on Little House. In 2011, he was in Pioneers of Television as Pvt. Ernest Cameron in archival footage from the episode titled "To Set It Right" in 1964's The Lieutenant for PBS.

After he retired from acting, Marshall set up his own company called DJM Productions, Inc., which produced television commercials and documentary films. He was popular with Star Trek fans as he was a Star Trek convention regular.

Personal life and death

Marshall was in a relationship with Diahann Carroll (1969–1970). He was previously married to Diane Marshall. He had one daughter and one son. Marshall provided consultation on matters connected with his work and with racial issues, and received an award for "Outstanding Achievement in his field as a Black Achiever in the United States". He died on October 30, 2016, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Veteran actress BarBara Luna had reported his death on Facebook.

[what-if-rpg]

if you could choose one character to be applied for which one would that be?

Hey there, anon. Well, since you asked, I’ve decided to make a big list with all the wanted characters and why they are needed and why they would be very welcomed here. P.S: All the characters would be welcomed here, OCs too!

Elliott Gilbert (FC: Adam Lambert) - If you want to cause some drama between Kurt and his boyfriend, I would suggest you join as him. Also, his three best friends, Santana, Danielle, and Rachel are already taken.

Terri Del Monico (FC: Jessalyn Gilsig) - We have Emma Pillsbury, and why not bring Terri to cause some drama to Emma?

Adam Crawford (FC: Oliver Kieran-Jones) - Another reason for Kurt and his boyfriend to have some drama? Be Adam!

Sheldon Beiste (FC: Dot-Marie Jones) - Let's face it! We need Sheldon here!

Lauren Zizes (FC: Ashley Fink) - I think the original Glee members would love to have her here, right?

Isabelle Wright (FC: Sarah Jessica Parker) - Kurt needs one of his best friends right now. Bring Isabelle!

Brody Weston (FC: Dean Geyer) - Would you like to cause some Faberry drama? Bring Brody. He is also one of my favorite characters.

Sue Sylvester (FC: Jane Lynch) - I would love to just see her here. I bet she would cause a lot of drama in general.

Will Schuester (FC: Matthew Morrison) - We have Emma for months now and no Will. This is unfair!

Biff McIntosh (FC: Chace Crawford) - My Quinn has no ex-boyfriends around here, bring him.

Hiram Berry (FC: Jeff Goldblum) & Leroy Berry (FC. Brian Stokes Mitchell) - Bring Rachel’s fathers to the show!

But now, if you are looking for some family connections, here you have a big list of characters you could apply for:

Abigail (FC: Ashley Tisdale), Joseph (FC: Mark Wahlberg), Monica (FC: Meghan Ory), Leon (FC: Ryan Reynolds), Ester (FC: Josie Loren) - If you want to be connected to Rachel Berry, pick one of these.

Carter (FC: Chris Hemsworth), Cameron (FC: Chris Pine) - We would love to have the rest of the Sloane’s here.

Laurie (FC: Ruby Rose) - They are Kurt’s cousins.

Nathaniel (FC: Jared S. Gilmore), Constance (FC: Alicia Vikander), George (FC: Chris Wood), Elizabeth (FC: Odette Annable), Nicholas (FC: Tom Hiddleston), Oscar (FC: Sam Heughan), Logan (FC: Nick Jonas), Maverick (FC: Joe Jonas) - They are Jesse St. James' cousins.

Jasper St. James (FC: Peyton Meyer) - He is the last of the St. James’ siblings, and he is so needed!

My Grandpa’s Diary- Pete Rakiewicz

Keep in mind this is boring. My grandpa didn’t do much during the World War. He didn’t jump out of an airplane, drop bombs, or kill anyone. He owned a monkey named Cheetah (because she cheated at cards) and killed time. But war isn’t always insteresting, sometimes it’s boring one side.

But I found his diary and it’s one of the only things of his other than his wartime harmonica than I have left of him. I thought I’d share it with you.
