May Flowers, Frances and Frances

May Flowers, evenings at 11
It's not a crime to look at Lange. So herewith, Frances Farmer in her prime (surrounded by... hmm, levitating flowers?) and the woman who played her in 1982's Frances, Jessica Lange. There are no flowers in this old photograph of Lange but I think you'll agree that she was in full bloom.
I've never seen any of Frances Farmer's movies (she didn't make many. Any suggestions?) so maybe that was a minor obstacle for me, but I am not a fan of the film. But I do enjoy a good Old Hollywood biopic. It's the one type of biopic that holds immediate appeal for me. So, can we please get some more of them about old Hollywood? Like... a lot more of them. Let's immortalize the immortals.
Didn't you love those lavish scenes in The Aviator when Jude Law was pretending to be Erroll Flynn

Gay Of The Dead 12: Writer/director/actor Alan Rowe Kelly: Part 1
13 May 2009 3:35 AM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
I had never seen any of Alan Rowe Kelly’s films until he contacted me—literally moments after posting my first Gay Of The Dead blog. And yes, that is Alan in the photo to the left. Don’t worry, we’ll get to that later.
Kelly’s opening salvo to me was the grisly, intense and controversial A Far Cry From Home segment from the recently wrapped Gallery Of Fear anthology, which he co-wrote, co-directed and produced for his Southpaw Pictures. From there I jumped back to his first feature, I’LL Bury You Tomorrow, a loopy, sprawling, bloody feature that manages to wind storylines of seven main characters into one big crazy fest. After that, I popped in The Blood Shed, which starts off with a preteen kid being yanked in half and just gets more insane (see: awesome) from there.

'I Know What You Did' Next on the Remake Chopping Block
12 May 2009 6:25 AM, PDT | From ESplatter.com | See recent ESplatter news
It's been a long time since Dark Castle produced a remake of an old William Castle film, but they've finally gotten around to it again. Patrick Lussier, who helmed the excellent "My Bloody Valentine 3D" remake, will now direct a redo of 1965's Joan Crawford film "I Saw What You Did and I Know Who You Are!" Todd Farmer, who wrote the "Valentine" redo, is also writing this one. The screenplay for the original film was by William P. McGivern was based upon the 1964 novel "Out of the Dark" by Ursula Curtiss. William Castle directed it. The concept was quite good: When two mischievous teens randomly dial telephone numbers and tell whomever answers, "I saw what you did, and I know who you are," they of course wind up accidentally calling a man who has recently murdered his wife.

I Saw What You Did! Remake on the Way
12 May 2009 2:23 AM, PDT | From DreadCentral.com | See recent Dread Central news
Dark Castle Entertainment is getting back to serious horror business by turning in yet another remake of a classic William Castle tale, 1965's I Saw What You Did ... And I Know Who You Are. This time with My Bloody Valentine 3D duo Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer reuniting to turn in the frights.
Variety broke the news tonight and honestly we couldn't think of a duo better suited to adapt Castle's work. Lussier and Farmer are quite adept on delivering the scares with the fun, and that is something Castle did like no other showman before or after him.
The original Castle film, which starred Joan Crawford, was based on the Ursula Curtis novel Out of the Dark and revolved around two girls who innocently pass the time making prank phone calls to unsuspecting people until they call the wrong guy.

Joel Silver Remaking I Saw What You Did

William Castle is getting a Dark Castle makeover as Joel Silver takes on his classic 1965 film I Saw What You Did and I Know What You Are!, for a remake.The prank call thriller originally starred Joan Crawford, and saw a pair of teen girls get into a whole heap of doo-doo when they phone a guy guilty of just what they are joking about.Silver's project which will be more simply titled I Saw What You Did, is not to be confused with fellow chiller, teen slasher I Know What You Did Last Summer. The script has been penned by My Bloody Valentine 3-D duo Todd Farmer and Patrick Lussier, the latter of whom will also direct. Dark Castle's debut production was another william Castle reboot - 1999's House on Haunted Hill starring Geoffrey Rush and Famke Janssen.So, will I Saw What You Did be just another Disturbia?

'I Saw What You' Remade
11 May 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | From GetTheBigPicture.net | See recent Get The Big Picture news
I don't think I need to mention that I liked My Bloody Valentine 3-D to our regular readers. It's still one of the guilty pleasures of this year. Now the writer-director combo of that remake is set to take on another rather middling suspense flick, with Variety reporting that Patrick Lussier and Todd Farmer will dust off the 1960s movie I Saw What You Did and I Know Who You Are!
The original starred Joan Crawford, although the story was more about a pair of teenagers making prank calls and whispering into the receiver, "I know what you did." It's all good natured fun until the teens call a man who has just murdered his wife. Crawford played the murderer's neighbor and it was not a particularly good role for the faded Oscar winner.

"Happy Mother's Day" Starring Julianne Moore
10 May 2009 8:23 AM, PDT | From FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news
'now, go and wash your teeth!'
Julianne Moore isn't so good with her onscreen children. She ignores them, kills them, abandons them... even seduces them. Even when the famous redhead loves them (Children of Men, A Map of the World, The Forgotten) terrible fates await the poor tykes. If Moore didn't exude such warmth as a star onscreen she'd have a full-fledged Joan Crawford rep.
Still if you had to choose one MooreMommy to be yours: coked up sexual Amber Waves in Boogie Nights? pharmaceutically enhanced foul-mothed step-mom Linda Partridge in Magnolia? cake-hating lesbian Laura Brown in The Hours? inappropriate and domineering Barbara Baekeland in Savage Grace? or any of her distracted housewives from Far From Heaven, [safe] to The Prize Winner of Defiance, Ohio ... none of whom have any time for their children / step children what with their heavy marital problems and poisonous environments?

Five Movies You Shouldn’t Watch With Mom On Mother’s Day
10 May 2009 6:07 AM, PDT | From MTV Movies Blog | See recent MTV Movies Blog news
Mother’s Day. Of our many Hallmark holidays, this is the one that’s easiest to get on board with. Mothers are the unsung superheroes of this world. They raise us and they feed us. Their love is unconditional. Even the troublemaker who leaked that workprint of “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” online has a mother who loves him. Probably.
So we all agree: moms rock. That doesn’t mean they’re always welcome though. You probably don’t want to bring her to the bar or to some friend’s house party. You definitely don’t want to bring her along on a date. And unless you get a thrill from squirming around in embarrassment, there are at least a few movies that are best left for occasions other than Mother’s Day. Movies like these…
Director Tom Kalin’s “Savage Grace” is all about the naughty mommy love.

Mothers Day Salute: A Tribute to the Horror Moms
9 May 2009 10:00 PM, PDT | From Fangoria.com | See recent Fangoria news
Well, congratulations. It’s Mother’s Day, and you’re playing on the Fangoria website instead of calling your poor mother. But why should you worry? I mean she only fed you, clothed you, and let you know when you were slouching. You just go on about your day, and don’t worry about your poor mother.
Hopefully, you are now feeling sufficiently guilty and are currently handcrafting the world’s largest and most extravagant Mother’s Day card. But before you head down to the craft store for a crate of construction paper and a wholesale bag of pipe cleaners, lets reflect on that special breed of celluloid madre, the horror mother.
May we present our count of the top 10 horror mothers:
