Imponderable #114: Sari, Will You Marry Me?

25 Oct

October 25, 2013

It was a rare night out for Mr. Blog. The Editors and Staff of Mr. Blog’s Tepid Ride (me and Allan Keyes) went into the city to see the RiffTrax guys (formerly the MST3K guys) do their thing on Night of the Living Dead. It was hysterical and if you want to catch it, too bad. It was one night only. but more on that in another blog.

When we left the theater we saw, parked partially in the middle of traffic, a food cart hooked up to a pickup truck. No big deal, right? Then take a look for yourself.

Romantic, right? I guess so. There didn’t seem to be anybody around. There was a guy checking out the coupling connecting the truck to the cart but he may have been a thief. He was dressed in dirty overalls. We hung around awhile, hoping Sari would come strolling out of the theater on the arms of another guy but no, nothing. Was Sari in the theater? And if so, what movie was she seeing? My guess- Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs 2.

Sari didn’t come out, and there was no one around the cart anyway. And why the cart in the first place? Is there some special significance to it?

Did Sari ever see the sign? Did she agree to marry the apparently invisible dude? Did the cart get a citation for blocking traffic? Or was this all just a weird NYC thing?

Late Night Movie House: Rosie

22 Oct

October 22, 2013

Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you… ROSIE!

rosie-grier-ray-milland-the-thing-with-two-heads

No, not that Rosie, that’s Roosevelt Grier, noted needlepoint enthusiast, two-headed transplant, and sportsman. He’s in a category all by himself. (BTW, remember the best scene in that film? Ray Milland, on the operating table, sees his new body and says…)

Well, OK, that’s not the best line. The best line in the film comes just a few seconds later, when Whitey looks in the mirror and says “is this some kind of joke?” but I couldn’t find that clip online.

But the awesomeness of The Thing With Two Heads notwithstanding, that’s not the Rosie I’m talking about.

THIS is the Rosie I’m talking about:

What the fu--?

What the fu–?

I know what you are thinking: “Who the what now?” Settle back, and enjoy, if you can, which I couldn’t.

Wikipedia, a dog of a website, says about this dog: Nothing! It doesn’t have an entry.

IMDB says: Nothing! It doesn’t have an entry.

TCM, which actually aired this thing over the weekend, says: No information available for this title. (AKA Nothing! It doesn’t have an entry!)

I’m going to let this speak for itself. Consider yourself lucky that this is only a partial episode. I saw the whole thing Saturday night and I still can’t get back to sleep.

But as ever, Hollywood is not one to let an old idea lie, no matter how crappy the idea. I present to you, the ripoff Rosie called Willfred!

 

Sheesh, after all this, I should go back to the original name of this feature, Late Night Movie House of Crap. I’m sure Rosie Grier would agree.
