LAST CHILD:

I didn't look up the Michael Parks tv movie because I'm in the middle of doing the Movie/TV News which, as I've said many times before, takes 3-4 hours every morning to do. I can't do everything for you guys---isn't 3-4 hours Monday-Friday enough?
I saw the Michael Parks tv movie when it originally aired in the 1970s and vaguely remember the ending and I didn't remember the title, so I posted all that I that I knew.
As for your comment about me addressing this elsewhere, that's exactly what intended to do as I don't want to hijack this thread.

Hey, I said I was sorry, what you want - blood? wink Besides, it's an indirect compliment that I had higher expectations from your post.

You people tell me now----do you want me to continue the Movie/TV News or do you want to do it yourselves?

I fully appreciate all the work you do, and I love the trivia sections!!

Bruce - I emails you a while ago about the Bonds?


He'll probably want you to go round to his place and open up his emails for him about it. smile

As I've posted many times before, I don't like posting the Movie/TV News because I have very no interest in comic book movies, Star Wars or zombies---which is the most of what Hollywood is these days. I do this to help my fellow posters. It takes me several hours to do every morning Monday-Friday---that's several hours of time I would rather be sleeping.
I started the trivia feature because that does interest me a little---but it is very time consuming to find photos because Google's new policy means good photos are hard to find.
If someone else thinks they can do a better job, they have my permission to take it over---so I can do things that I want to do.

You people tell me now----do you want me to continue the Movie/TV News or do you want to do it yourselves?


It is an appreciated source of movie information (yes, even the trivia sections), though one wonders—why do something so time-consuming when it brings you so little personal joy?

If this movie debuted today, they'd make a sequel first, probably call it "Another Thing (From Another World)."

The BBC adaption was pretty well done, nîcely acted and had a couple of interesting changes at the end. Worth a listen.

So the version being published is not the manuscript as found-

Betancourt described the draft as “fragmentary and pieced together from a partial final draft and a rough draft,” which he” then compared to the published version of ‘Who Goes There?’” Betancourt says that he hopes that the final version lives up to what Campbell originally intended. “I have tried to craft the story into what John W. Campbell would have written, had it appeared in its full form, as originally written.”

I'm slightly confused by this description. It sounds like maybe the second half of "Frozen Hell" wasn't fully polished so they have tried to take the heretofore unseen first half and blend it with the actual published version of the story?

Or maybe there were pieces of story scattered here and there on various pages and it's a matter of piecing them together in a coherent way?

I hope there isn't too much editorial muddling going on behind the scenes.

I inquired with the guy who found the manuscript, and was confused by his explanation. He said the longer version is complete so no need to change anything. But he also indicated there are two separate drafts which need to be combined, one of which has many corrections by the Campbell. Aside from making the indicated corrections, he didn't know what else Betancourt would do.

If there were two drafts—a partial final draft and a complete rough draft—then it would make sense to apply the changes in the final draft to the complete rough draft. I imagine that wouldn’t take too much work for a skilled editor. The confusing part is why they would need to compare it to “Who Goes There?”
