45428Cabin Fever<p>&nbsp;</p> <p>As an example DPE&#39;s work, ask yourself &quot;what does the Cat in the Hat sound like?&quot;. Think how easy it would have been to reach out to anyone easily available. As production discussions evolved it became clear that the Cat in the Hat had to have a voice that combined <strong>wisdom</strong> and <strong>fun</strong>, in equal measure. A voice that instanly enchants children in a familiar and friendly way.</p> <p><strong>Allen Sherman</strong> was chosen as the voice of The Cat because everyone involved in this animated special understood how these specials have a way living far outside the era of their creation. The &quot;voice&quot; had to fit the character instead of being hung-up over having <em>big-name</em>&nbsp;&quot;star&quot; voice the character.</p> <p>As you watch the video, can you imagine any other voice for The Cat?</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://i.pinimg.com/originals/dc/0c/c4/dc0cc427f003882b35b1973e0f6e272b.jpg" /></p> eddstarrApr 19, 2020View

45422"Empire Strikes Back" Cinema Reaction (No seriously)<p>By 1980 I was in Seattle and saw &quot;The Empire Strikes Back&quot; at the Cinerama and I remember the audience reaction was very vocal and very mixed.</p> <p>Star Wars audiences of 1980 was a mix you don&#39;t see much anymore. That 1980 Seattle audience was half people like me, we come from the generation that grew up watching &quot;Captain Midnight&quot; (aka Jett Jackson), &quot;Tom Corbett - Space Cadet&quot; and &quot;Rocky Jones - Space Ranger&quot;.</p> <p>All of these TV shows started as radio dramas from the 1940&#39;s with the result that many storylines follow typical plots found in soap operas: &quot;<em>Luke . . . I am your father!</em>&quot; ie; &quot;<em>Darla . . . I am your adopted sister!</em>&quot;.</p> <p>The Golden Age of sci-fi in my opinion was the 40&#39;s and the 50&#39;s. Many fans of Star Wars grew up with &quot;Flash Gordon&quot; on the movie screen so finding out that Darth Vader was Luke&#39;s father actually made since. It actually explains why Luke, Leia&nbsp;and Han were still alive - dad didn&#39;t have the heart to ax his son and Luke&#39;s friends.</p> <p>What makes &quot;The Empire Strikes Back&quot; so good is that George Lucas <strong>didn&#39;t write it</strong> and he <strong>didn&#39;t&nbsp;direct it</strong>. When it comes to movies George Lucas is, at best. a &quot;C&quot; student. George is part of my generation and &quot;Star Wars&quot; was his tribute to the1935 series, &quot;The Phantom Empire&quot; starring Gene Autry and the Sky Riders from Radio Ranch.</p> <p>All this old stuff was FUN! By the 1970&#39;s nobody was doing fun anymore. A new generation of kids were growing up with serious shows and serious comic books. George wanted to bring back the fun of sci-fi and made his move in the late 70&#39;s and early 80&#39;s.</p> <p>Thus - George Lucas became the luckiest man in Hollywood. But in entertainment, luck rarely repeats itself.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> eddstarrApr 19, 2020View
45421Corona Virus<p>Well, we&#39;re starting to run low on hand soap. That&#39;s the one thing stores around here can&#39;t keep in stock, even worse than the toilet paper shortage.</p> <p>Looks like I&#39;m going to have to start washing my hands with some body soap.</p> Rick Ace RhodesApr 19, 2020View
