ScreenPix has been running THE CARETAKERS.

Please be advised that Miss Joan Crawford plays the asylum's nursing administrator who gives judo lessons to her staff (all of whom, including Joan, wear black Danskins) so they will be physically equipped to deal with surprise attacks by violent patients.

THe TV series RIVERDALE regularly makes references to classic cinema, both within in the episodes and in episode titles.

THe title of sixth episode of Season 1 was "Faster P****cats! Kill! Kill!"

This is the episode that includes the following line by Veronica to Archie:

I love the main theme, by Elmer Bernstein, to The Caretakers! Great music for working out!

It is my understanding that: The Velocipastor (2018) began as a trailer made as a film school project. I believe that it was nearly a decade before money and interest allowed for making the actual movie. It may well be that the trailer for: The Velocipastor 2 was created to generate interest and raise money for making the movie.

I am not ashamed to state openly that I like very much: The Velocipastor (2018). I feel that it is the best movie of its genre which I have ever watched. I believe that I should mention that the genre is: "Made with virtually no budget in a few days, contains martial arts and women in their unmentionables and includes as many cheesy tropes as possible."

Yes, I was thinking of you when I posted the trailer. I thought you'd be interested.
Watching until the end.

In a Bad Movies You Love pantheon, SUSAN SLADE is, if not quite "up there", then pretty darn close. It has a favorite movie quote of mine (Connie Stevens to aspiring novelist Troy Donahue): "One of these days there'll be a plaque -- Robert Louis Stevenson, John Steinbeck, and Hoyt Brecker" There isn't a hint, however, that she has read any of his work. The idea that an endeavor Troy Donahue's character could embark upon be described as immortal is truly mind-boggling.

We are supposed to believe that upon first glance, dashing mountain climber Grant Williams falls helplessly in love with shy, stammering, socially inept 17 year old Susan. A forbidden shipboard romance between the two (Connie: "We've been sinful") produces, shall we say, complications. Cognitive dissonance with a simutaneously warm yet coldly rigid Dorothy McGuire, who in certain scenes looks unnervingly like a chic gargoyle, and good old Lloyd Nolan, play Susan's parents. There are drool-worthy scenes of the gorgeous modern Asian-decorated cliffside Northern California home which Nolan's grateful boss Brian Aherne bestows upon the family. It also seems to come complete with a beautiful young Chinese housekeeper who you will probably think is Aherne's mistress given all those mature rogue-ish characters he was so effective at playing.

The terminally earnest Troy is around in the background, trying to clear his father's name. Did this "actor" ever crack a smile in any of his films?)

I am not a fan of Max Steiner being perky.

I should add that Grant Williams achieved science fiction screen immortality by playing the title character in THE INCREDIBLE SHRINKING MAN. I am sure film fans (of any genre) would prefer to remember him there.
