My first archival job was sorting a SciFi collection donated by a publisher/magazine editor. I remember reading his letters, about the first moon landing, because he was so damn excited. I think of him whenever NASA does something cool. Anyway, happy landing! The astronauts are home

"Bogey was my best friend," said Lorre. "He looked at movies just the way I did, as a joke. When we were together in films like 'Casablanca', 'The Maltese Falcon', and 'Beat the Devil', there were always laughs on the set."

[collinsportmaine]

Transylvania Twist is a 1989 horror comedy where the character occasionally breaks the “fourth wall”, looking directly at the camera and making statements like, “I’m in the wrong movie!”

The film stars Robert Vaughn (the 1960s Man from Uncle) as Count Byron Orlock. Science fiction aficionado Forrest J. Ackerman has a cameo appearance as a coffin salesman.
