duxastrogirl Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 There was a very well made biographical television movie about them...I think NBC made it ltwo years ago. Most of the facts Robotnut mentioned are there and others...I don't know if it was ever released as a DVD but for the fanatics can be an interesting source.
Morbius Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 I thought that was a really well done movie. Gave a good idea of what they went through with MGM.
duxastrogirl Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 ;) I use the time machine and corrected my post...cause I kind of deleted two words involuntarily and it seemed I meant something else!! Yeah Morbius I think the movie was very well done.
Morbius Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 B) I used that Time Machine myself to edit after Robotnut straightened me out on the facts!! I always get the 'Curly's' mixed up!

Joe K. Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Forbidden Planet, MGM, 1956 1956 Premium Distributors Co. catalog cover and interior page. The Celestialier ceiling fixture (or one like it) was wall mounted in the film. Could Morbius' desk lamp have come from the same source?
Fineas J. Whoopie Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 Joe -So how many times have you seen Forbidden Planet? Didn't you have it on in the museum all day long every day for years? I bet you had these set pieces memorized before you googled them for the pics.
Phil R Posted July 23, 2023 Posted July 23, 2023 I have an entire file on mid century lighting(20th) including the sunburst and Saturn lights as well as modern retro versions.
Robotnut Posted August 3, 2023 Posted August 3, 2023 Joe, thanks for rescuing this almost 20 year old post !!! It was fun to remember what I used to know about the Stooges. I truly have forgotten more about the Stooges then most people know MeTV, that we watch over air from Detroit, has a movie host called Svengoolie. Svengoolie is a cross between the Ghoul and Sir Graves Ghastly. His Saturday night show starts with an hour of the Stooges and then a classic monster movie. His movie rotation includes Forbidden Planet, Godzilla and The Day the Earth Stood Still. Love the spacey mid century lamps. I've been know to have a few of them. Right now they are in storage, but I do have a bit of vintage decor around the house. You can see more at http://www.kingofkitsch.com
Joe K. Posted October 25, 2024 Posted October 25, 2024 How many props can you spot in this 1959 unsold pilot?
robothut Posted October 26, 2024 Posted October 26, 2024 Wow, what a treasure trove of Great FP props and even the cyclorama planet back drops. If ever there was proof that it takes more than great props :eye candy" to make a movie.
Krel Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 The communications guy uses Chief Quinn's wireless earphones. David.
Joe K. Posted October 27, 2024 Posted October 27, 2024 Could the white sphere have been used to create the Krell's shuttle "tube"?
