Monster of the Day #2070

Thanks to Eric Hinkle to suggesting the comic, which I’d never heard of. OK, that’s a fairly macho dude.

Meanwhile, people start arriving for B-Fest tomorrow, so things will get hectic around here soon. Weather thankfully looks fairly good, maybe a bit of snow, but nothing major forecast at this point.

    According to Wikipedia, Mr Santos became a lounge singer after retiring.

    Thanks Eric H. that’s glorious!!!

    Safe journeys to everyone headed to B-Fest.

  • Really sorry to be missing it this year. I still have two tickets up for grabs if anyone needs them.

  • Gamera977

    Maybe it’s my eyesight but I keep wanting to read ‘Tragic’ instead of ‘Tragg’.

    Guess it is kinda tragic that he lost his club and is trying to fight off the carnisaur with a stone tablet.

    Though a Biblical action film where Moses on Mount Sini beats Satan senseless with the copy of the Ten Commandments on a stone tablet would be kinda cool.

    I bet they already made that movie in the Philippines.

    Everyone else can look at the caveman and dinosaur, I’m more interested in that redhead. Gold Key had some gorgeous covers!

  • Marsden

    Is this the Flintstones remake with Bam-Bam, Pebbles, and Dino?

  • Eric Hinkle

    Anyone else hear about Kirk Douglas’ death?

    I’m mostly seeing people go on and on about his ‘heroics’ in defying the Hollywood Blacklist. I prefer to remember him for his acting rather than his politics.

  • Agreed. Quite a career, too! I’ve seen him in:

    Seven Days in May
    The Vikings
    Spartacus
    20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

    The last of which is relevant to us here at MotD. Can’t find any pics of him fighting the giant squid, but there are quite a few of him serenading a seal…..

    The B-Fest pre-show must be in full swing now. I went a couple of years, it was great fun.

  • bgbear_rnh

    “Saturn 3” is Jabootu worthy.

  • bgbear_rnh

    Skip his politics and his womanizing and enjoy the films.

  • bgbear_rnh

    Catch his westerns if you like westerns. For noir fans he is in one of the best, “Out of the Past” early in his career as the heavy.

  • Eric Hinkle

    And Robert Conrad has joined Mister Douglas. I so loved seeing him do Jim West in Wild Wild West, especially when Doctor Loveless was the villain.

    And Orson Bean.

    On the 20000 leagues 2 DVD set they have the original squid scene which was set at sunset. While all the action is there, it falls really flat. *Excellent* choice to re-shoot it during the storm, though it must have cost a lot more.

    “Nice white teeth you have there. What do you use to get them so white? But you have a little something right *there*!
