Just seeing a “Continental Trailways” poster tacked up behind where she sat and the Texaco gas station (“Skychief” on the pumps!) across the street where Hud was parked…oh, my. And knowing Brandon was in Shane just ten years earlier and would be in the grave just ten years later…    Posted:   Aug 18, 2024 - 7:44 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Just seeing a “Continental Trailways” poster tacked up behind where she sat and the Texaco gas station (“Skychief” on the pumps!) across the street where Hud was parked…oh, my. I might have an early-to-mid '60s travel road map with that resonant imagery around here somewhere. I'll post it whenever I find it. Between you and Steve Vertleib, there might be a tie for "Definitive Dewy-Eyed Boomer" award. The bestowal of which depends on which of you was most haunted by Pernell Roberts' departure from Bonanza.    Posted:   Aug 18, 2024 - 1:03 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) heh heh I was just an occasional watcher of Bonanza at best but clearly recall the Pernell affair. It was quite the TV talk.    Posted:   Aug 19, 2024 - 4:00 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) heh heh I was just an occasional watcher of Bonanza at best but clearly recall the Pernell affair. It was quite the TV talk. At the risk of traipsing into "Nostalgia is a form of depression" territory (See also: 1998-2000 FSM topics), here's a thread from 19 years ago.

The phone booth at the corner of 3rd & Park!    Posted:   Dec 1, 2024 - 4:20 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Oh man, rewatched TZ's "You Drive" for the first time in ages and suffered wonderfully from the early 60s suburban b&w syndrome. The phone booth at the corner of 3rd & Park! I've just finished disc 3 of season 1 (season 1 is the summit of TZ's knowledge), but in the latest run of episodes (The Purple Testament, Elegy, Mirror Image, The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street), two of those episodes make me feel as though I'm wandering through Marty Sloan's neighborhood. Howard, you are FSM's resident TZ obsessive, but believe me, I have millions of words I could heap upon that era, let alone the series.    Posted:   Dec 1, 2024 - 1:11 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) From American Cinematographer: Horseman, Pass By and Hud: From Novel to Film https://ascmag.com/blog/johns-bailiwick/horseman-pass-by-and-hud-from-novel-to-film The above article most fine appears to have vanished from the ASC website. I thought I lost the copy I had, and it seems that I have. Hopefully, it can be recovered like that green crystal in Superman II.    Posted:   Dec 1, 2024 - 1:13 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) 1950-53: Korean War, yet the decade still feels like the 1945-49 post-WWII era. 1954-56: Rise of Rock & Roll and civil rights movement. Youth becomes all the friggin' rage. 1957-60: The Big Empty, pop culturally speaking though there are some glimmers of hope, namely jazz. No? Yes? Discuss. 1957-60: The Big Empty no more! Thank you British Kitchen Sink cinema!    Posted:   Dec 1, 2024 - 1:31 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Howard, you are FSM's resident TZ obsessive, but believe me, I have millions of words I could heap upon that era, let alone the series. I am and you have. Two magnificent obsessions.    Posted:   Dec 9, 2024 - 2:40 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) A nice video essay for newbies who've just watched HUD. "HUD and the West Texas Landscape"    Posted:   Dec 9, 2024 - 3:00 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) That was a wonderful video with insight into the land and characters.    Posted:   Dec 9, 2024 - 6:17 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Aye, seconded. Well-spoken précis.    Posted:   Dec 11, 2024 - 2:55 AM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) That was a wonderful video with insight into the land and characters. Aye, seconded. Well-spoken précis. Glad you both enjoyed it. IIRC, there was once a YouTube video that revisited Hud's filming locations, but that video seems to have disappeared. So much for the internet being forever.    Posted:   Dec 11, 2024 - 10:26 AM     By:   eriknelson   (Member) Claude, TX is on the route we take between Houston and our summer home in Colorado Springs. It's a one traffic light little town with a downtown area that hasn't changed much since HUD was filmed there. The movie theatre shown in the film now shows live events as well as films, and there's a little museum about filming HUD there. The ranch in the film is located several miles outside of town.    Posted:   Dec 11, 2024 - 2:50 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) This reminds me of a website devoted to Route 66 locations from the same b&w era in a then-and-now bent. Must track it down.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2024 - 2:56 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Found it! https://www.ohio66.com    Posted:   Dec 19, 2024 - 2:39 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Hud Alternate Version Suite. This rendition reminds me of the delicate, elegiac touch Elmer Bernstein would later bring to his theme for The Shootist.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2024 - 2:54 PM     By:   Howard L   (Member) Lovely. I don't think I ever appreciated his small contribution to the film as much as I did the last viewing. It was just so right.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2024 - 5:44 PM     By:   Jim Phelps   (Member) Elmer's Hud trailer music is quality stuff.     Non-Film Score Discussion: PAUL NEWMAN as "Hud" (1963)    << < 4 5 6  >   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6
