I guess there's no point in trying to get everyone to calm down.

The only thing missing from this nostalgia trip is good old Jerry Blake (and as I recall from his last posts here, he had wised up and realized how silly we all are.)

Oh, yeah, and, of course, Antonioni!

Well, I for one would like to see Gravy remove one of the"b"'s from this thread's title.

I keep expecting Warren Hull to ask for "the facts."

Actually, LG may just recognize the monty python reference in my last post and get a kick out of it. But if by the last PM I sent you, you mean this one, I'm sure others will find the humor in it as well, especially as they'll know who I'm busting on with it:

So, willie, since you want to be so forgiving, I've decided to not only not apologize to you, but I'm going to keep insulting you. Also, please send me money so that I can not send you the product you are paying for. I am funding a fictional restoration of KING OF THE KONGO and need money from you to pay my rent.

I am sure you will forgive me despite my continued attacks and give me money for something I'll never send you. Thank you so much


If you mean the one where I said I hope you, Chuck, Green Hornet, and Grood die and go straight to hell, well, that still stands, too. Of course, that was also sent after 39 O 13 died without getting Vol. 3 of TMR, a fact you never particularly cared about because hey, you weren't the one who got ripped off. But you got DDotW, which made Grood the greatest man alive. Also, if you need refreshing, like Jerry Blake, you were left alone by me for months then decided to take a potshot at me at Grood's site. But, then you feigned surprise and claimed to want to be amiable when I said something about it. I have a perfect description to describe a person like that: two-faced weasel.

Frank, the last I conversed with Jerry Blake--about three years ago--he was the same old Jerry Blake with his half-assed ideas.

I have no idea who Antonio is, but his mother was a hamster and his father smelt of elderberries, too! Hope that helps start an Antonio discussion.

Mort, I concede. Greatest post in the entire thread. You, my friend, are a comic genius! Thank you for a much needed bit of levity.

Michelangelo Antonioni, Italian director.

Don't know if his lineage entailed rodents and drunkards, but he was fairly regularly excoriated at the Squadron for his movies like Red Desert and Zabriskie Point. At least I think that's what Paul was referring to.

That extra 'b' was annoying me, too.

Todd, I would never want to discourage a good rant, but there comes a point where you're just poisoning yourself rather than other people. Calm down, buddy.

Well, all I know is Antonio is no Ed Wood, that's for sure.

Ed made much better movies.

I saw RED DESERT almost 50 years ago, and it wasn't just boring, it was excruciating. I remember sitting there with my head resting against my hand thinking, "When is this thing going to end."


I was wondering when someone would bring up the extra 'B' in the title.

Todd, I realize you don't know how nuts you come across. But using Monty Python as a facade to be rude isn't acceptable here. Apologize or go.

Todd~ I'm sure LG will enjoy the Monty Python bit. That's not what I was talking about. You made a comment about me beating my meat--not very nice. And you called me a sick twisted little twat--again not very nice. If LG wants to let comments like that float on his boards, that his choice. But if that's the case, then my reply to you on those 2 comments is KISS MY POLAK ASS, you son of a b***h!!

And I did not take a pot shot at you at the SS. Someone else took the shot, and I simply agreed with it. And if I remember correctly, that was after you banned me. So who gives a s**t??

As far as the post that closed the door on us ever resolving our problems and being amiable again, here are your exact words:

F**K GROOD. F**K CHUCK WHITE. F**K GREEN HORNET. AND MOST OF ALL F**K YOU WILLIE. I HOPE THE 4 OF YOU BUTTF**KERS DIE AND GO STRAIGHT TO HELL. I REALLY DO.

Such a pleasant thought, don't you think??

This is turning into Todd Wars 2, so you'd better unban me to finish this discussion. I'd hate to skank up LG's boards any more with this BS. We're just covering old ground again, and there's no need to stink up LG's boards with it.

As soon as I saw the opening post, I knew this would happen.

I really am getting sick of the fact that this what the serial hobby has become. Little talking about serials but plenty of flame wars going around which would make any person who wanted to get into the genre a "nice side" of the people involved in the hobby.

It has been well known of the treatment I have received from Eric Stedman. He's lied about me, insulted friends of mine, and shown me that he is a person that I do not want to deal with. Being said, I don't bother commenting every time he is mentioned because he has no affect on my life. Yes, he does do a great job in restoring serials and puts out a great product. Will I order Spider's Web? No, I am happy with my copy I have and I'll leave it at that.

I'll ask everyone on this thread to grow up. The going back and forth between Willie & Todd is totally pointless because it seems the two will not change their minds. If I were in charge of this board, I'll just have you two email back and forth and leave everyone else alone. Every item it seems that is being posted has been said umpteen times by now and there is no benefit to have this tirade keep on going

Now, if everyone wants to keep posting on this and following round the clock of every item on the thread, I can't do anything to stop you obviously. I have to tell my students to ignore bullies and childish comments all the time. It's sad when I need to tell it to adults or people who are just old enough but not acting like them.

Gravy, I would be delighted to offer up an apology. However, it occurs to me that things like "Todd, go f**k yourself" and the comments in Willie's most recent post are pretty rude, too. So, as soon as willie apologizes for those comments, I'll apologize for mine and we can all go back to being friends. At least until the next Grood war, which will likely be any day now.

Bulleteer, if you're looking for a really nice serial DVD of a pretty good serial, may I recommend VCI's Riders of Death Valley? Very fun serial and a gorgeous print, VCI's logo notwithstanding. You'll also want both Secret Agent X-9 serials from VCI and, if you can find it, their version of The Phantom Creeps. Accept no substitutes on that one.

If you don't mind bootlegs, AC Comics has a mess of Republics. I suggest waiting for a sale if they don't have one going on as they're mostly just bump ups from VHS. But if you like Radar Men From the Moon, they have King of the Rocket Men and Zombies of the Stratosphere, as well as the Commando Cody TV show (which I liked far better than I thought I would). I won't at this time I recommend my two serials to you as it's usually best to have a familiarity with the genre before watching them to catch all the in-jokes.

To HiYo Silver~ I can't help but agree with you.

To LG~Thank you for your response to Todd. Obviously he will never apologize to me. Please feel free to delete my last post if you so choose. I'm as sick of this mess as everyone else is.

I started this thread to inform everyone here of a very nice new print of TSW, not to start a war. I'm sorry about the way things turned out, and if I owe anyone an apology it is you LG. So do as you please with my last post, which is pretty nasty too. And please delete one of the B's from the thread title. I tried to do it from my first post but found it impossible to touch. So it's up to you.

Todd~ Are you in the twilight zone? My last post does not say F**K you Todd. It says some other things, but not that.
