Late Night Movie House: Rosie

Ladies and Gentlemen! I present to you… ROSIE!

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.

Late Night Movie House: The 1970’s Crying Indian PSA

If you are of a certain age, this is part of your youth. It is part of the shared, collective consciousness of anyone who grew up in the 70’s and has in fact become part of pop culture. It has been parodied by everyone from Johnny Carson to The Simpsons but sadly, later generations have never seen the original. So for all you children of the 1970’s, here is a blast from the past, and for the rest of you, this is your first look at the iconic, incredibly memorable, part-of-pop-culture that is the 1970’s Crying Indian PSA.

Enjoy!

The announcer on this video is William Conrad (Gunsmoke, Cannon, Jake and the Fatman). The Indian is  Iron Eyes Cody, who was not a Native American at all. He was actually Espera Oscar de Corti, an Italian who made a living playing Indians in over 200 films.
