John Alton: Cinematographer

 


One thing I regret is not archiving more of the cinematography and directors posts. Lazy. Image heavy posts are a pain now.

The Big Combo (1955).


Del Taco


 My two large bookmark folders of Kinja posts are now at least useful as a list to pick from to recreate. When I was trying to save all the TV posts it was nice to have all the various food posts and other things to choose from to stick in between.

Yoo-Hoo, Home Again

 

I say this sometimes when I come in the door, to alert the old cats it is me. Did it again a minute ago. Archie is nervous enough as it is.

Move it on Over




She's changed the lock on our front door
My door key, don't fit no more
So get it on over (move it on over)
Scoot it on over (move it on over)
Move over skinny dog cause a fat dog's moving in

Murder Can Hurt You!

 


1980 ABC Ernie Anderson promo. Speaking of John Byner, this is the cop/detective TV movie spoof that Gilbert and Frank always talk about on the podcast. It's on Youtube. I liked it a lot because I am big on TV detectives. Byner and Jamie Farr play Starsky & Hutch parodies, who run and climb over the sets, instead of walking like normal people.

John Byner on Gilbert Gottfried's Amazing Colossal Podcast

 


New today. I just saw John Byner yesterday on Married With Children. He played the old prospector who looked like John Byner in the gold episode.

Comedian, actor and master impressionist John Byner returns to the show to share hilarious anecdotes about James Cagney, Jerry Lewis, Groucho Marx, Ed Sullivan and Jackie Vernon (to name a few) and to talk about his recently-released memoir "Five Minutes Mr. Byner: a Lifetime of Laughter."Also, Jack Carter lashes out, George Jessel lawyers up, Joey Bishop promotes a boxing match and Billy Barty sits on Bob Hope's lap. PLUS: Annette Funicello! "Angels with Dirty Faces"! Dueling Rod Steigers! "Merv Griffin's Talent Scouts"! And John and the boys remember the late, great Bob Einstein!
