Review of Procreate KnockOut 2 by Tim Skyrme
Procreate Knockout 2 The past 150 years has seen tremendous strides in technological and scientific research and invention. Who would have ever imagined that men would walk on the moon or that open heart surgery could be performed with robotic assistance? Still, with all of these advances man has consistently failed in one field of research: the creation of life from inanimate material. Filmmakers have found the horror genre to be a potentially low budget, high profit way of breaking into the business. Standing in a long line at a hardware store, Tobe Hooper imagined taking a chainsaw off the wall and cutting his way to the front, inspiring his creation of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974). George Romero found a local butcher in Pittsburgh to finance and provide blood and ... continue
Jimmy Stewart was seen one night in 1933 in New York performing on stage as a female impersonator by an MGM talent scout. He was signed to a contract to come to California to work for the prestigious studio. Studio Head Louis B. Mayer expressed doubt when he first saw him,`He`s so skinny! A beanpole.` Efforts were made to put weight on him, the 133 pound actor was constantly sharing butterf ... continue
Katherine Hepburn came to Los Angeles in 1932 and like Calista Flockart, had a theater person`s snobbish view towards Hollywood. In person, she impressed no one with her looks and style, and executive David O. Selznick worried about her `horse face`. She finished her first film, Bill Of Divorcement with John Barrymore and told him,` Thank God we`re finished. I never want to act with you aga ... continue
Early movies had no stories, no stars and no sound. A popular movie in the 1890`s was two girls getting undressed by a lake. Right before their last garments came off, a train came by to block your view. In the next scene the two girls were swimming in the lake. The film was a hit throughout the country. It was originally called The Big Heart. Daryl Zanuck the shrewd head of Twentieth Century Fox couldn`t buy the image of Santa Claus in a court room. But like so many ventures Miracle On 34th Street (1947) came about because of passion, in this case that of Director George Seaton who had gone to New York on his own and made arrangements with the real Mr. Macy and Mr. Gimbel to film inside th ... continue
When the Twentieth Century Pictures company had their expensive merger with the Fox Film Corporation in 1935, studio head Daryl Zanuck was depending on two contract stars to pull the new company through its money troubles. Tragedy struck the same year when Will Rogers died in a plane crash in Alaska. Zanuck turned his financial burden on the shoulders of six year old Shirley Temple (she was ... continue
During the silent era it was thought a waste of money to make a movie with more than one star. Personalities like Charlie Chaplin, Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton were considered potent enough box office on their own. But with dwindling attendance during the great depression MGM decided to feature Hollywood`s first all star ensemble cast in Grand Hotel (1932) starring the mammoth egos of Joa ... continue
In 1934, when Walt Disney called for a meeting among his artists, a rumor had spread that he was going to shut the studio down and they would all be left unemployed during the great depression. Instead he personally told them in his own spellbinding way the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which he intended to make into his first feature length film. It was a risk unlike any other ... continue
It`s hard to say where old Hollywood ended and new Hollywood began. People in the industry don`t think of themselves as making history, they are just going to work. But the day in 1967 that Jack Warner cleaned out his desk at Warner Bros. studio, George Lucas and Frances Ford Coppola arrived on the lot. `Beverly Hills is a place where you spend a lot of money you don`t have to impress a lot of people you don`t like!`- - Anonymous Hollywood Producer Chasen`s restaurant in old Hollywood was a legendary hangout were movie stars expected to dine in peaceful private booths on barbecued chili without putting up with celebrity gawkers. There were occasional breaks in the quiet. Jimmy Stewart`s bachelor party was thrown there complete with midgets clad only in diapers jumping out of cakes. Humphrey Bogart and Peter Lorre got drunk one night a ... continue
