clayhornikStarted the evening watching some NBC-made re-run on ION as a hugemovie instead of a miniseries thing called Aftershock about an earthquake that hits NYC.
It got weird when there was a shot of the World Trade Center, standing tall and complete. Made in 1999, according to IMDB. OK, sure, got it.
Then when the Mayor started about the feds coming in to help, including FEMA, it stopped being funny.
To me anyway.
So I put on Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein. OH, yeah, that it the spot.
Classic horror comedy. Lugosi is a more modern Dracula, quite clever in going to a masquarade ball as... yep, you guessed it: Count Dracula. Glenn Strange was somber, menacing and sympathetic all at the same time, as Frankenstein's creation should be. And Lon Chaney Jr was... well, kind of sad and annoying as the tragic wolfman Larry Talbot. Abbott and Costello were Abbott and Costello.

hmmm, interesting. the first time I posted this, the video didn't come through. maybe a flaw in flock's blogging widget?
