We consider this site to be a love letter of sorts. :) Billie Douxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17141769005175631213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-88669494338419920742013-05-02T21:47:38.424-04:002013-05-02T21:47:38.424-04:00Lots of Edgar Rice Burroughs based films out there...Lots of Edgar Rice Burroughs based films out there. The Land that Time Forgot 1975 (Doug McClure) <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0K97czqecQ <br />The Land that Time Forgot 2009 (C. Thomas Howell, Timothy Bottoms) <br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZeWtfDsxXc <br />The People that Time Forgot 1977 (Patrick Wayne, Doug McClure, Sarah Douglas)<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL7_gp0Xy2Q <br /><br />I counted over 80 Tarzan films, not including animated, TV series, and video games. My fave may be http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWkVjKM5uZI 1918 silent. I got hooked on silents. Wings 1925 won first Oscar - I love aviators, my jet pilot dad crashed young. I flew across Canada to NWT with friend. <br /><br />Selznick's Invention of Hugo Cabret & Hugo 2011 DVD has Harold Lloyd climb skyscraper in "Safety Last" 1923, one his own spectacular stunts. I had fun finding clips like that for my reviews on GoodReads and AnEyeSpy blogspot about Georges Méliès films like "Trip to the Moon" 1902. <br /><br />I love your reviews, looking forward to catching up now that I've found your site. I first thought Billie Doux was a pun for french "billets doux" = sweet messages = love letters. Of course I only took French, decades ago, in school, for a few years, so I could be mistaken?<br /><br />P.S. Preview is unreadable, goes in long string across, no word wrap. So pardon my typos.<br /><br />..

I hope the newer film is truer to Edgar Rice Burroughs storys.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-57537393239831416172010-01-16T17:32:39.512-05:002010-01-16T17:32:39.512-05:00I just bought the first two books last month, and ...I just bought the first two books last month, and now I'm even more excited to read them.<br /><br />Once I'm done watching Supernatural, of course.Josie Kafkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892717530356699008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-34263054042953519162010-01-16T07:29:15.077-05:002010-01-16T07:29:15.077-05:00Oh yes.

Lets just hope the transition from animation to film goes smoothly for the director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
