Back in June I reviewed the Larry Cohen creature feature Q.
Last Friday, actually for-reals pro film critic Roger Ebert got around to reviewing Grindhouse (he missed it due to illness). The review is what it is – I reckon, by now, that either you know where you stand on said pick or don't care – but his review does have a wonderful little anecdote about Q. From Ebert:
I recall a luncheon at Cannes thrown by the beloved schlockmeister Sam Arkoff of American-International Pictures. "Sam!" said Rex Reed, after seeing Arkoff's new film "Q," about a Quetzlcoatl that swooped down on Wall Street to gobble up stockbrokers. "What a surprise! Right in the middle of all that schlock, a great Method performance by Michael Moriarty!" Arkoff blushed modestly. "The schlock was my idea," he said.
Ha ha ha!
ReplyDeleteOh, just wanted to say, Happy Halloween to you and the missus!
I have a slight cold, but I'm hanging in there.
Finally bought candy and pumpkins TODAY.
Also, just saw your comment on JJ's blog re: the SAW franchise, etc.
I just left a very rambling comment there, mostly while you posted yours.
At least YOU'RE concise and to the point.
AND have a point to make, to boot!
I'm glad you were able to check out the post.
Alright... I go kill pumpkin now!
