SILENCE OF THE LAMBS - THE MUSICAL

FTANG! Movie/Musical Moment - Babysitting Blues

Today's FTANG! kitchen special is a little combo-platter!

From 'Column A' we have a little Movie Moment from "Adventures in Babysitting", which is part of FTANG!'s all time favorite flicks. And, from 'Column B' we shift into a Musical Moment with the late great Albert Collins.

NOBODY READS FTANG! WITHOUT SINGIN' DA' BLUES... which is probably as accurate a comment if ever there was one!!

Celebrity Death - Harvey Korman - May 29, 2008

Harvey Korman - May 29, 2008

Comedian, television star, film actor, Chicagoan, and Super-"C" grade Celebrity, Harvey Korman, has died after complications to the rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm he suffered four months ago. He was 81.

His most memorable film role was as the outlandish Hedy Hedley Lamarr in Mel Brooks' 1974 Western satire, "Blazing Saddles."

"A world without Harvey Korman -- it's a more serious world," Brooks said. "It was very dangerous for me to work with him because if our eyes met we'd crash to the floor in comic ecstasy. It was comedy heaven to make Harvey Korman laugh."

Brooks described Korman as a "dazzling" comic talent.

"You could get rock-solid comedy out of him. He could lift the material. He always made it real, always made it work, always believed in characters he was doing," he said.

"He fought until the very end. He didn't want to die. He fought for months and months," said Kate Korman, his daughter.

Rather than post any number of Blazing Saddle clips featuring Harvey's performance as Hedy Hedley Lamarr... here’s two brief minutes of Harvey as Count de Monet in "History of the World Part 1."

Don’t get saucy with me, Bernaise!

Celebrity Death - Roy Scheider - February 10, 2008

It is with deep, deep regret that Ftang! reports the loss of actor Roy Scheider, who passed on Sunday February 10, 2008. While there are so many roles to acknowledge for this Academy-Award nominee, let’s merely comment on Ftang!'s personal top three. French Connection partner Buddy Russo, Blue Thunder pilot Frank Murphy, and the best damn Chief of Police Amity Island has ever had.

It is his portrayal of Chief Martin Brody in the film Jaws that forever solidified his place in the heart of Ftang!



And now... an 'In Memoriam' Ftang! Movie Moment featuring Roy's most famous line:



That's some bad hat, Harry MARTIN.
