I happen to know for a fact that Mailer's film MAIDSTONE was actually cobbled together from that discarded Batman pilot, which in turn led to his role in the film RAGTIME and subsequent choice for the lead in THE INCREDIBLE HULK - THE BARBARY SHORE YEARS, which he wisely declined.mantmarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350882479535662318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-67095794919095592012009-10-25T13:21:29.944-07:002009-10-25T13:21:29.944-07:00Podhortz, remember , was the ORIGINAL Commisioner ...Podhortz, remember , was the ORIGINAL Commisioner Gordon in the pilot episode of the 60s Batman tv show, the one that never aired.<br /><br />And Norman Mailer had a bit part as a minor villian, The Smell.Alexander Membranehttp://www.wacky.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-82194474786406540072009-10-25T13:02:28.698-07:002009-10-25T13:02:28.698-07:00That's sweet.

Getting back to the original topic, I am fond of Webb's long-unavailable film noir thriller THE BALTIMORE GONAD KING, which prefigured MOTHER, JUGS AND SPEED by at least 20 years.

For MY money, the supressed Fassbinder film THE LIVING PRIAPUS starring Leo G. Carroll and Edward Everett Horton sharing the title role is the difinitive art film of the past 40 years. Just to see their faces meld into one vast skein of scroidal skin flapping and writhing with eddies of arid conversation for 65 hours is enough to pop any conceptual zit one may harbor, no matter how deeply.mantmarblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08350882479535662318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-21646986870820050272009-10-23T18:35:39.412-07:002009-10-23T18:35:39.412-07:00Dude, that part in Nick Ray's Rebel W/out A Ca...Dude, that part in Nick Ray's Rebel W/out A Cause where he goes all willow knee'd and frowns like a cake in the rain and utters that you gotta do the jerk or see the harder edge of a bag boy's soap dish, <i>man that was <b>the shit!</b></i>Conan Slinkladder O'Farmtewlhttp://www.bonemonger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-48094796866236810212009-10-23T17:24:56.114-07:002009-10-23T17:24:56.114-07:00Jerry Van Dyke in the final episode of "My Mo...Jerry Van Dyke in the final episode of "My Mother, The Car" had a similar approach -- remember Roger C.

There was the misconception that just because someone would film situations similiar from film to film , it consituted an aesthetic and constituted a style; some were artful in their familiar scenes and scenarios, but far more were merely fashioning a way to work quick and under budget.Shank Gazebohttp://www.hammeredclam.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6531553.post-74741870977558524452009-10-23T12:33:21.490-07:002009-10-23T12:33:21.490-07:00It is something like a tragedy that Jack Webb and ...It is something like a tragedy that Jack Webb and Heath Ledger didn't live to make a film together concerning Sgt.
