Any Trekkie will be able to tell you that "Star Trek" wasn't a big hit in its initial run in 1966. Indeed, the show was all set to be canceled after its second season, and only a well-organized letter-writing campaign rescued "Star Trek" for a third year. Thanks to the gods of syndication, however, "Star Trek" continued to air in reruns for years, and it wasn't until the early 1970s that the series really started to accrue a massive audience. Prior to 1972, "Star Trek" was more or less a scrap of cult television, deeply beloved only by a small (but passionate) audience of science nerds and free-love enthusiasts. 

The first large-scale "Star Trek" convention was held in New York at the end of January in 1972, and by then, it was clear that the series had become a phenomenon. Fans gathered to meet actors, discuss technology, and swap merch. "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry frequented large-scale conventions,...

After more than 50 years of touring, The Eagles announced dates for their final tour. The tour, entitled The Long Goodbye, will feature Steely Dan as the opening act and is scheduled to begin on September 7 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

Only the first 13 concert dates have been announced with tickets set to go on sale today. According to a statement by the band, the tour will star Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, as well as former members Vince Gill and Deacon Frey performing “as many shows in each market as their audience demands.” The tour is expected to continue into 2025.

In a post on Instagram, the Eagles wrote, “Our long run has lasted far longer than any of us ever dreamed. But, everything has its time, and the time has come for us to close the circle.” The band continued,...

Rolling Stone interview series Unknown Legends features long-form conversations between senior writer Andy Greene and veteran musicians who have toured and recorded alongside icons for years, if not decades. All are renowned in the business, but some are less well known to the general public. Here, these artists tell their complete stories, giving an up close look at life on music’s A list. This edition features drummer and songwriter Joe Vitale.

Veteran drummer Joe Vitale was asleep for the night when Bob Dylan’s June 2020 interview with The New York Times went online,...

Up until this year, Bob Dylan had never really expressed much interest in the Eagles. But then in his epic song “Murder Most Foul,” released in March, he called out Don Henley and Glenn Frey by name, along with their 1975 classic “Take It to the Limit.” That inspired historian Douglas Brinkley to ask Dylan to name his favorite Eagles song when he interviewed him recently for The New York Times.

“‘New Kid in Town,’ ‘Life in the Fast Lane,’ ‘Pretty Maids All in a Row,'” Dylan said. “That could...

Bob Dylan’s Q&a with the New York Times on Friday marks his first major interview in three years, following a conversation with Bill Flanagan on his own website in 2017. In it, he tells historian Douglas Brinkley about his upcoming album, Rough and Rowdy Ways, including the sprawling, 17-minute closer “Murder Most Foul” and the controversial “I Contain Multitudes.“

He also shares his favorite Eagles songs, his thoughts on the pandemic and the recent death of George Floyd that shook the nation. “It sickened me no end to see...

Reeling from his divorce from Jane Fonda, French director Roger Vadim made his first American movie for MGM. Unlikely as it seems today, the scuttlebutt at the time was that Rock Hudson’s love scenes with the numerous high school nymphets went All The Way! The buzz helped turn this gently smutty black-comic mystery into a substantial hit, although now it plays like a time-warp precursor to Skins.

Star Trek was the show that wouldn’t die. After the original series was canceled in 1969, reruns in syndication attracted phenomenal ratings, an animated version ran for two seasons and the convention scene exploded. Things were not going as well for creator Gene Roddenberry. Two follow-up pilots, Genesis II and The Questor Tapes, did not go to series, and his big-screen movie, Pretty Maids All in a Row, flopped. Roddenberry depended on income from the Star Trek lecture and convention circuit. But by 1975, Paramount was toying with the idea of reviving the show as a big-screen

I recently posted a Joe Walsh song on my Facebook wall and the reaction was mixed. One commenter wrote, "Walsh always struck me as the real-life Spicoli, and that was about as seriously as I could take him." This is a common misconception about Walsh.

Walsh has had a music career of over five decades. There are many, many people who know of him mostly as a member of the Eagles (since 1975) who had a hit in 1978 with a funny song, "Life's Been Good." Yet Walsh was a music biz veteran of eleven years’ standing when Hotel California was released in 1976; he would not have been recruited into the Eagles if he had not already established himself as such a distinctive guitarist that he could instantly give them the rock cred they so desired. Already on his resume were the killer riffs of "Rocky Mountain Way," "Turn to Stone," "Walk Away,...

A few years ago, Empire magazine asked Quentin Tarantino for his eleven favorite films. At the time, he listed "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly" as his favorite movie, but things have apparently changed. Tarantino was recently asked to once again submit a list of his favorite movies and some of his choices are a bit surprising. "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly" now landed in fifth place. Meanwhile, his new favorite movie has become "Apocalypse Now," despite the fact that it wasn't on the Empire list. In fact, only five movies appear on both lists. But there are some great choices. Check out both lists below. New List: * Apocalypse Now * The Bad News Bears * Carrie * Dazed and Confused * The Good, The Bad and The Ugly * The Great Escape * His Girl Friday * Jaws * Pretty Maids All In A Row * Rolling Thunder * Sorcerer * Taxi Driver Old List: * The Good,...

In honor of the release of Christopher Golden's Joe Golem and the Drowning City in limited edition hardcover on October 3 and Baltimore: The Play, his collaboration with Mike Mignola, on November 21, Dark Horse editor Scott Allie interviewed the award-winning author for us.

Topics covered in the interview include Golden's interpretation of the term "dark fantasy," his upcoming project with True Blood author Charlaine Harris, vampires in our current culture, his influences, the scariest thing he's written, and Lots more. Check it out below, and look for more guest blogs from Scott Allie over the coming weeks.

Scott Allie: Can you explain “dark fantasy” to me?

Christopher Golden: The easy approach would be to say it's a merger of horror and fantasy, but that's not always true. For me, dark fantasy is fantasy in which nasty things happen. For people who've read my original novels, dark fantasy would be easy to recognize.

During the first week of August, Sight & Sound organized a poll that dethroned "Citizen Kane" as the best movie ever made. Alfred Hitchcock's "Vertigo" took the title as the Greatest Film ending "Citizen Kane's" long run. (See Dethroned! "Citizen Kane" No Longer Best Movie Ever! Critics, Directors Pick Top 10 Films of All Time!)

Academians, archivists, critics, directors, and distributors all over the world were among the ones invited to participate in the poll. Now, Sight & Sound has revealed the choices made by our favorite directors (via Collider). Here they are (it's interesting to note that among the list of directors below, only Martin Scorsese, David O'Russell, and Sam Mendes picked "Vertigo"):

Andrew Dominik (The Assassination of Jesse James, Killing Them Softly)

Apocalypse Now (1979) . Francis Ford Coppola

Badlands (1973) . Terrence Malick

Barry Lyndon (1975) . Stanley Kubrick

Blue Velvet (1986) . David Lynch

Marnie (1964) . Alfred Hitchcock

Mulholland Dr. (2003) . David Lynch

The Night of the Hunter...

I don’t know why it took some nine years for these to hit the internet, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t cooler than any news item to hit this week. For whatever reason, Miramax have decided to release ten behind-the-scenes photos from Quentin Tarantino‘s Kill Bill: Vol. 1 — specifically, the House of Blue Leaves fight which served as the 2003 film’s centerpiece.

Although some might consider these pieces a subtraction from the seamless nature in which effects are utilized to create excitement (“movie magic,” it’s sometimes called), that sounds all wrong to yours truly. Heck, several of these ten shots only give me a greater appreciation for what Tarantino and his team pulled off ten years ago. They’re funny, too!

It’s an odd thing to stumble across, sure, though it’s even odder to ignore peeks at one the past decade’s biggest directorial accomplishments.

There was plenty of discussion across the movie blogosphere following last week's announcement that Vertigo had dethroned Citizen Kane as the greatest film of all time according to Sight & Sound's decennial poll. In addition to revealing the top 50 as determined by critics, they also provided a top 10 based on a separate poll for directors only. In the print version of the magazine, they have taken it a step further by reprinting some of the individual top 10 lists from the filmmakers who participated, and we now have some of them here for your perusal. Among them, we have lists from legends like Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino, but there are also some unexpected newcomers who took part including Richard Ayoade (Submarine), Miranda July (Me and You and Everyone We Know) and Sean Durkin (Martha Marcy May Marlene). Some of these lists aren't all that surprising (both Quentin Tarantino...

Last week, the recent Sight & Sound list of the top 50 movies of all-time (find it here) was released. The poll is conducted every ten years and this year's edition was made by polling 846 critics, programmers, academics and distributors. In addition to that list, however, Sight & Sound polled 358 film directors, which included Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola, Woody Allen and Mike Leigh. Tallying the results the directors' top ten looked like this: Tokyo Story (dir. Yasujiro Ozu) 2001: A Space Odyssey (dir. Stanley Kubrick) Citizen Kane (dir. Orson Welles) 8 1/2 (dir. Federico Fellini) Taxi Driver (dir. Martin Scorsese) Apocalypse Now (dir. Francis Ford Coppola) The Godfather (dir. Francis Ford Coppola) Vertigo (dir. AAlfred Hitchcock) Mirror (dir. Andrei Tarkovsky) Bicycle Thieves (dir. Vittoria De Sica) The problem, for me at least, is that doesn't really tell us much. Just like the Sight & Sound list we're looking at something that simply lists...

Quentin Tarantino can usually be counted on to anoint some unlikely favorites whenever he jots down a ten-best list, but for this week's Sight & Sound poll asking directors to submit their picks for the best movies of all time, Tarantino mostly stuck to the seventies: All but four of the films in his top twelve list are from that decade. In alphabetical order, Tarantino picked Apocalypse Now; The Bad News Bears; Carrie; Dazed and Confused; The Good, The Bad and The Ugly; The Great Escape; His Girl Friday; Jaws; Pretty Maids All in a Row; Rolling Thunder; Sorcerer; and Taxi Driver. What, no Anything Else?...

Blu-ray Release Date: July 3, 2012

Price: Blu-ray $24.99

Studio: Paramount Home Entertainment

Science-fiction movie Barbarella was a flop when it was released in theaters in 1968, receiving bad reviews that complained about a flat script and a cast that can’t do comedy. But since then, the film has earned a cult following.

Based on the French comics by Jean-Claude Forest, Barbarella stars Jane Fonda (Nine to Five) in a series of sexy costumes.

Fonda plays the titular heroine, who lands on the planet Lythion in the year 40,000 and is faced with robots, monsters and other evil. While trying to keep her skin-tight space suit on, Fonda must try to vanquish her enemies and save the universe. Along the way, she gets help from various handsome men, who all get her uninhibited appreciation.

Roger Vadim (Pretty Maids All in a Row), who was Fonda’s husband at the time of production, directed the movie,...

"In the 50s, she was Feathers, the shady lady in the classic John Wayne western Rio Bravo," Stephen Whitty wrote in the Star-Ledger last year. "In the 60s, she was Frank Sinatra's wife in Ocean's 11 (and the gun moll in a couple of hard-boiled Lee Marvin classics). In the 70s, she broke the erotic age barrier as a lusty high school teacher in Pretty Maids All in a Row, a hot bank robber in Big Bad Mama and a sexy cop on TV's Police Woman. In the 80s, she was a daring — and doomed — object of desire in Brian De Palma's classic Dressed to Kill. And, along the way, she cut a glamorous swath as Burt Bacharach's wife (and — they say — a favorite Sinatra squeeze and JFK fling). And she established a reputation for slightly naughty plain speaking — although you won't find her going the kiss-and-tell route.

I find it surprising that some people were surprised when the fact that Rock Hudson was gay was publicly revealed back in the mid-1980s, as the actor became the best-known person with AIDS in the world. After all, even my mother knew about that. Anyhow, today's jaded crowd, looking at the above photograph, will surely assert that it's so obvious that Rock Hudson was gay. Just look at him! I thoroughly disagree. In fact, I don't see anything "obvious" about Hudson's sexual orientation in the photo. And no, I'm not blind. The guy just looks like a man — gay, straight, anything in between — doing his best to appear classy, or at least what used to pass for classy. Personally, I don't find Hudson very convincing as a "classy" type à la Cary Grant. Whatever his sexual predilections, I've always found Rock Hudson much more believable in rugged roles, such...

American actor known for his roles in horror films and Star Trek

The actor William Campbell, who has died aged 87, had a long and varied career in films and on television, finding recognition from his association with several low-budget horror pictures and with the TV sci-fi series Star Trek. However, although he had the hooded eyes and languid manner of Robert Mitchum and something of the laid-back anarchism of Jack Nicholson, entry into the major league of stardom eluded him.

Campbell was in the first series of Star Trek, in an episode entitled The Squire of Gothos (1967), in which he has a field day as General Trelane, a foppish, childish humanoid, swinging wildly from joviality to sulkiness to anger. In The Trouble With Tribbles (1967), in the second season, Campbell was equally impressive as Koloth, a bearded, bureaucratic Klingon, a character that he revived 27 years later, towards the end of his working life,...

Brian Trenchard-Smith gets suitable lengthy and (as always) very thorough with The Battle of the Bulge.

The flat plains of Spain make a visually inaccurate backdrop for this sprawling but none too accurate recreation of one of the major operations of World War II, which took place across the forests of Germany, Belgium and Luxembourg. It’s a nearly three hour Roadshow spectacle with the usual all star cast, efficiently showcased by director Ken Annakin.

Now here’s a cool movie with a sprawling cast that even has some overlap to films from earlier this week, and Brian hits on a couple of actors in this commentary that we should have hit on Monday, when we weren’t singing the praises of Lee Marvin: Telly Savalas and one of the manliest manly men to ever live,...

"What makes Johann run — and rob?" asks Melissa Anderson in the Voice. "Benjamin Heisenberg's second feature is as taut, lean, and fleet as its title character, played by Andreas Lust and based on the real-life Johann Kastenberger, who was both Austria's most-wanted bank robber of the 1980s and a champion marathoner. Writing the script with Martin Prinz, who adapted his own 2005 novel about the notorious criminal, Heisenberg forgoes backstory and psychological explanation, structuring his film as a series of adrenaline spikes."

"Lust's character in The Robber is familiar from European crime movies," suggests Noel Murray at the Av Club. "He's the stoic loner who doesn't say much, lest he inadvertently reveal some kind of motivation. When he robs banks, he wears a thin mask that doesn't look all that different from his face, and when he goes on a date with his caseworker, Franziska Weisz, he's more amused by...

An actor who played two memorable villains from the original Star Trek series has died. William Campbell passed away on April 28th at the Motion Picture & Television Country Home and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California. He was 84 years old.

Originally from Newark, New Jersey, Campbell appeared in several movies from the 1950s through the 1970s, including Love Me Tender (with Elvis Presley), Dementia 13, Operation Pacific, Battle Circus, The High and the Mighty, and Pretty Maids All in a Row.

The latter was written by Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry. Campbell had worked with Roddenberry on two memorable episodes of Star Trek in the latter part of the 1960s. He played Trelane, an all-powerful being who had taken the form of a Liberace-like fop, "The Squire of Gothos." He reprised the role for the Star Trek: Judgment Rites video game many years later.

Pretty Maids All In A Row

by Randall Unger

In a time where sexual promiscuity was all the rage, one of many films was released during the 1970s, Pretty Maids All in a Row. Based on Francis Pollini’s novel of the same name, the film takes place at a California high school where sex and murder seem to be popular extracurricular activities.

We are introduced to Ponce de Leon Harper (John David Carson), a timid high school student who doesn’t have much luck with the ladies. He stumbles upon a dead girl’s body in a bathroom stall...

If you were outraged by those risque photos of the cast of "Glee" in GQ, I must warn you: never ever, watch "Pretty Maids All in a Row." You know what? Don't even read this piece. If you do, your brain might explode.

Somehow, the director of "Barbarella," Roger Vadim, and the creator of "Star Trek," Gene Roddenberry, got together in the early 1970s and made one of the weirdest movies ever released by a mainstream Hollywood studio (in this case MGM). Long out of circulation, with a reputation as one of the cultiest cult movies ever, it is finally available on DVD from the Warner Archive. And it is wild.

With "Pretty Maid"'s creative pedigree, you might expect it to be science-fiction. Nope; Vadim and Roddenberry chose to collaborate on a mashup high school sex comedy and slasher film. The result is like watching someone try to make...

I’ve been waiting a fair while for it to make its way on to Blu-Ray, if only to see if the many previous DVD restorations could be improved on. I’m happy to say that the new high definition transfer of Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (Universal, Rated R, Blu-Ray-$26.98 Srp) looks and sounds wonderful, and should delight fans. Bonus features are nothing to shake a stick at,...

Before he was canonized as a futurist, Gene Roddenberry was a failed Hollywood producer, having watched two series crash and burn after short-runs on prime time television. He began shifting his focus from Star Trek during the series’ third season, working for his buddy Herb Solow at MGM. In 1970, Solow asked Roddenberry to take on a problematic script, an adaptation of a novel by Francis Pollini called Pretty Maids all in a Row. It was to be the American film debut of director Roger Vadim, fresh off his pop culture hit Barbarella.

The story of a series of murders at a California high school was blended with sexual hijinks as one story featured a guidance counselor who was bedding as many comely teenagers as possible and a sexually frustrated student who couldn’t stop getting excited at all the braless wonders in their teasingly short skirts. For a major studio production,...

In 1970, the Vietnam War had already dragged on for nearly a decade. Filmmakers, like society in general, were making their opinions about the war known. The great anti-war films M*A*S*H and Catch 22 were released that year and, though not set in Vietnam, made bold satirical use of past wars to make their points. However, that same year brought us another anti-war film somewhat overshadowed by those two classics, Hornet’S Nest, starring none other than Rock Hudson. Like some surrealistic cross between John Wayne’s The Cowboys and the original Inglorious Bastards (both of which it predated), Hornet’S Nest is notable for several reasons: it was the final Hollywood film of European screen star Sylva Koscina, it was one of director Phil Karlson’s last movies, and it was the film debut of Hudson’s trademark mustache! However, it is Not notable for being on DVD.

Charles B. Pierce was a popular regional filmmaker who made his feature film debut as director, producer, and cinematographer for the 1972 docu-drama The Legend of Boggy Creek. The low-budget film dramatized the legend of a Sasquatch-like creature known as the Fouke Monster, that was reputed to terrorize the small town in Arkansas near Texarkana. Boggy Creek became a major hit on the drive-in circuit. Pierce also directed and wrote a 1985 pseudo-sequel, The Barbaric Beast of Boggy Creek, Part II, and appeared in the role of Professor Brian C. `Doc’ Lockart.

Pierce was born in Hammond, Indiana, on June 16, 1938, and moved to Hampton, Arkansas, with his family as a child. He operated an advertising agency in Texarkana, and began working in films as a set decorator in the mid-1960s. He worked on numerous film and television productions including Chuck Jones’ animated feature The Phantom Tollbooth (1970), and the films Pretty Maids All in a Row...
