Saturday Night Live Again

It's really interesting to watch the first season of "Saturday Night Live" and watch it evolve. It really didn't have the format as we know today until the fourth episode. I guess they were experimenting. In fact, on show 2 with Paul Simon, the Not Ready for Prime Time Players barely appear.

When they do appear, true magic happens as there is rarely if ever a bum skit in the bunch. This was back in the days when timing was king and except for a lengthy film by Albert Brooks about a heart operation, many times a skit was under 30 seconds. Unheard of by today's SNL standards where length and repetition seem to be key.

I'll report more later.

More Cartoons on DVD

Disney released yet another wave of those tinned Archive Editions. This time 'round I'm only interested in two of them: "Pluto, Volume 2" and "Silly Symphonies, Volume 2", which completes both of those cartoon series. I'm less interested in "Your Host, Walt Disney" as they repeat a show from a previous tin and "The Hardy Boys", because I don't really have the fond affection for "The Mickey Mouse Club" or its serials. In fact, I didn't even bother with "Spin and Marty" last year (nor "El Fego Baca", but for different reasons).

At this point to complete the major animated Disney releases, there needs to be "Donald Duck, Volume 3 and Volume 4" and a second "Disney Rarities" tin, which would hopefully house the "Chip 'n' Dale" and "Figaro" cartoons. There is a plan to issue "Oswald the Rabbit" in 2007.

Anyway, haven't purchased the Pluto or Silly sets, but want to. Walmart has the best price at $22.99 each.

Looney Tunes Volume 5

Well, well, well. Looney Tunes Golden Collection Volume 4 came out, but there's still about 750 Looney Tunes still in limbo and about 500 of them are still worth releasing. Man, I'm going to be about 70 years old by the time they release them all at the rate they're going, which is once a year. Hurry, Warner Bros., hurry!!

Match Game on DVD!

C'mon everybody, sing along!!! Bwamp-bump, bid-dit-do-de-do, Bwamp-bump, bit-dit-do-de-do...ok, ok, so it doesn't translate that well to the printed page, er screen. Anyway, the classic game show is back with tons of great episodes with Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly and the rest and it's on DVD for the first time. I never thought they would consider putting a game show out on DVD, but here it is.

Anyway, it's only $19.95 at Wal-Mart for the four-disc set. A steal!!

The Best of Saturday Night Live Season 1

They finally put out the first season of Saturday Night Live on DVD in its entirely and I'm thrilled! At last you watch not only the stuff they considered the "Best" all of these years, but stuff not so "Best". I plan to buy the first five seasons (1975-1980) and seasons 12-16 (1986-1991). The rest are dispensable (at least for complete seasons).

Anyway, this product is highly recommended for any comedy fan!

Mark Arnold Reviews The Beatles Google Group

Hi, Mark Arnold here. Say, aren't you that Harvey guy? Why, soitenly! But, now I've decided to turn to one of my other passions: The Beatles! My next book, officially
announced here, is going to be called "Mark Arnold Reviews The Beatles". In it, I will discuss every song The Beatles ever did group and solo regardless if it was released or not. But this Google Group isn't so narrowly focused. Here, I would like everyone to post messages about The Beatles or music in general. Or even British comedy. The Beatles touched so many fields such as animation and movies and stage
production and everything else, that I am keeping the necessity of staying on topic down to a low roar. You can join it by clicking here: http://groups.google.com/group/martb

Anyway, have fun and a goofy time is guaranteed for all...

MARK ARNOLD

If I Were President of the United States

If I were President of the United States, I would pull all of our troops out of the Middle East and give a world-wide announcement saying something to the effect of us not messing around with any other country's politics or religions unless they bomb US soil. If a country wants to go on killing each other, that's their right.

I wouldn't have any fear of "cutting and running", because it isn't. It is SELF-PRESERVATION, even if we instigated the war in Iraq. I would pull ALL troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and if either country were to get uppity and do some terrorist act ON THE US again, I would react then and will full force. Save our pennies now.

Meanwhile, with all of our troops back in the US, I would utilize them for domestic issues and at the same time plan a strategy in case any of those countries (or any other) did get uppity, so that we would be prepared.

In any case, I would find the source of all the ammunition all of these countries seem to have (probably it's us) and try to stop all shipments into these areas.

It's not that difficult to do. Some may argue that someone will definitely bomb us if we pull completely out. Well buddy, somebody could bomb us RIGHT NOW and we wouldn't be ready because all of our troops are holed up in the chaotic anarchy that Bush instigated in Iraq and also didn't finish up in Afghanistan.

*Sigh* Only 777 more days, folks!

MARK ARNOLD

Working and Being Sick

I just accepted a new job offer and now I'm sick with a cold. I guess the stresses of looking for a job took their toll. I'll get over it soon, but it's still annoying. I have just enough energy to type this message and then I'm going to log off my computer and rest for the rest of the day.

This doesn't mean you shouldn't buy my book!

Insane Weather Reporting

I read a friend's posting on weather reporting in Seattle and it made me laugh out loud!! I live in Saratoga, CA, which is near San Jose, but since we live in the hills and do not have cable, we get the Sacramento stations better than the San Francisco ones with our antenna (look it up, kiddies).

Anyway, Sacramento has two forms of weather per year: it's hot and sunny in the Spring and Summer and cold, foggy and (sometimes) rainy in the Fall and Winter. Where I live it's the same, but usually no fog.

Some stations report on the weather 3-4 times in a half hour broadcast with absolutely nothing to say!! They talk about their triple dopler radars and other weather forecasting stuff, and amazingly they still get it wrong if they forecast over a day ahead. Like if they say it will rain in a week, it probably won't.

Regarding snow, since there isn't any near San Jose, San Francisco or Sacramento, this time of year all the stations send the weather person who drew the shortest straw to stand out in this area called "Blue Canyon" which is en route to Lake Tahoe where they shiver telling everyone not to come out in this snowy mess and to wear chains if you do. Insanity!!

I wonder what other useless weather reporting people around the world have to put up with, that's taking away from reporting real news!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Since I've been kind of lax lately writing my blog, due to me still looking for a job and also writing my next book (not "The Best of The Harveyville Fun Times!" available online at Amazon and coming up in most bookstores utilizing Diamond Distribution), I figured that I should write a small Thanksgiving message. So here it is...Happy Thanksgiving!!

More "Love" With The Beatles

Ok, so I bought the album. The worst I could say is that it's "Stars on 45" or "The Beatles' Movie Medley" taken to a new level. The best I can say is that it sounds fantastic. Very good mashups of various Beatles songs and others played all the way through. It is certainly an album you should listen to in one sitting as one track segues into another without a break.

Is is worth buying if you are a casual fan? Maybe. For the hard core fan it is a must buy unless you are sick of another go round of the same songs regardless of the new mix. A new fan might be entertained, but might be confused depending on their level of Beatles knowledge. It might seem like a mish mash of sound a la "Revolution #9". In fact, there are a few samples in there from that track.

I give it high marks for trying something new and using the actual songs instead of paltry remakes by others which usually is what happens when things like this are attempted.

MARK ARNOLD

The Beatles "Love"

The Beatles are releasing a new album...sort of. It's a soundtrack to the newly opened Cirque Du Soliel production called "Love" that apparently is a "must see" if you go to Las Vegas, especially since Siegfried and Roy are out of commission.

Anyway, a friend of mine went to a preview showing some time back and said "Oh Mark, you HAVE to go! If you are a Beatles fan of any sort, you MUST GO!" I took his comments well, and so far, have not seen the show. Nor do I really have any intentions to see it. If I happen to be in Vegas, I would probably go, but I'm not, and I'm not making plans to go just to see this show.

I'm sure it's a well done performance. Some people quibble about how tacky this is and Beatles surely would be rolling in their graves. Well, I can't speak for John Lennon, but this was one of the last projects that the late George Harrison was organizing, because he was such a huge fan of Cirque.

Anyway, the upcoming CD that's to be released on November 21, is much more accessible to me at this time. Nothing much worth noting if you have a complete Beatles collection like I do, but I'll probably purchase it if I see it used somewhere as all of the tracks have been released frequently before. Sure, it's remastered by George Martin and his son, Giles, in the latest surround sound whoop-te-do format, but does it really matter? How sonically good do The Beatles have to sound anyway? Ok, ok, hold it down to a low roar, you rabid Beatlemaniacs! I said I was going to buy it!

It's not like another Anthology collection, it's the same old stuff with a new cover! I kind of wished that they'd release the long out of print "Love Songs" collection onto CD for the first time rather than this, but hey The Beatles control their own catalog (well mostly), so they call the shots and figured that this mish-mash of a compilation is better than the ones Capitol Records came up with in the late 70s.

Anyway, here's the track listings:

1. Because
2. Get Back
3. Glass Onion
4. Eleanor Rigby/Julia (Transition)
5. I Am The Walrus
6. I Want To Hold Your Hand
7. Drive My Car/The Word/What You're Doing
8. Gnik Nus
9. Something/Blue Jay Way (Transition)
10. Being For The Benefit of Mr. Kite!/I Want You (She's So Heavy)/Helter Skelter
11. Help!
12. Blackbird/Yesterday
13. Strawberry Fields Forever
14. Within You Without You/Tomorrow Never Knows
15. Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
16. Octopus's Garden
17. Lady Madonna
18. Here Comes The Sun/The Inner Light (Transition)
19. Come Together/Dear Prudence/Cry Baby Cry (Transition)
20. Revolution
21. Back In The U.S.S.R.
22. While My Guitar Gently Weeps
23. A Day In The Life
24. Hey Jude
25. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)
26. All You Need Is Love

Sinbad and Ray Harryhausen

I rewatched "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad" last night and while it is very campy, it is still quite enjoyable. It is not as quite as good as "The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad", it has some good moments and staring at the lovely Caroline Munro is one of them.

I highly recommend "Golden Voyage" as well as "Seventh Voyage" and "Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger", "Jason and the Argonauts" and "Clash of the Titans".

Harryhausen made 16 films, but these I consider his best.
