Hollywoodland

[Drac]

Good Evening Baby-Boomers..I would just like to know if anyone is planning to see "Hollywoodland" ?? It's the true story of George Reeves long reconized as TV's Superman..Many people STILL believe that he committed suicide..The book "Hollywood Kryptonite" makes it clear that George was no Boy Scout and that there was no suicide..I grew up watching "The Adventures of Superman" as I'm sure alot of others did so I think its about time that the truth be known...

I was mixed on going to see it or not until Warner Bros. finally approved Ben Affleck being able to wear the "S" on the suit. This has made me lean more toward going to see it.

I put this film in the same catagory as "AutoFocus", the movie about Bob Cane, who was the star on the television series, "Hogan's Heros."

Gen Xer here, but I do plan on going to see it. Looks like a really good flick. And too bad George Reeves wasn't bulletproof after all.

I'm with you, DRAC! Grew up with the man of steel on the tube and never believed he did himself. Looks like a good flick.

I am not comparing the actors or the series, only this genre, true Hollywood Mysteries.

Hi Drac,

Check out at your own risk. The movie depicts Bob Cane as a sex freak and I think it was R-Rated probably for language and sex.

It was average as a flick. The real draw was that it was a "behind the scene" type movie.

No problems...

Bob Crane was, by all accounts, something of a sex freak.....not that it's any of our business.....

Thanks, it was a lucky find.

The "Do something to somebody quick" sig was from a poem Boris recited one time from the poetry corner skit.

I think the poem he parodied was "Do something for someone quick."

By all means. That's why I am only discussing the take on the movie, not the man.

I REMEMBER that bit..I love The Rocky and Bullwinkle show

If you don't like the movie look for the book "Hollywood Kryptonite" excellent reading...
