Silly Thinking

STHT!

For your best tips in DVD and home video here is ST Home Theatre on it's new day and time!




With so many people from the far corners of the earth enduring bizarre and intense weather this winter (it snowed in Hawaii yesterday… really) we here at ST Home Theatre thought we’d give you some viewing tips if your stuck in the house this weekend and don’t want to go nuts.

1. Paramount released "The Jerry Lewis Collection" recently and now you can watch all the classics, like the unwatchable “The Patsy” from 1964, the nauseating “Disorderly Orderly”, the nerve racking “The Family Jewels”, the almost tolerable “Cinderfella”, the original “Nutty Professor” and many more- all in a row, in one day. And after you kill the day doing that you can kill yourself and any loved ones nearby.

2. If you’ve got kids you may want to turn to Disney. But if you’ve seen the classics, dig a little deeper for the non classics available like “Pete’s Dragon” with Helen Reddy, Mickey Rooney, Shelly Winters, and Red Buttons. Or “The Happiest Millionaire” with Fred Mac Murray, Tommy Steele, John Davidson, and Lesley Ann Warren. These two lame attempts at musical entertainment should drive you up the wall. Frankly I don’t think anyone can get passed the musical number “Detroit” in “Millionaire” without running into the street with a butcher knife, screaming until you eventually freeze to death.

3. United Artists has a “Billy Wilder Collection” on DVD that does include “Some Like It Hot’, “The Apartment” and the little seen, very funny, cold war comedy “One Two Three” with Jimmy Cagney. But you also get the horrible “Kiss ME Stupid” with Dean Martin and (replacing Peter Sellers who had a near fatal heart attack while filming) Ray Walston, and Kim Novak. This film is cheap, shoddy, and full of crap. Plus you get Lemmon and Matthau in Wilder’s last film “Buddy Buddy” which Wilder regretted making. Not only will you regret wasting your time, you’ll want to change your sexual orientation from whatever it is now to anything that doesn’t remind you of “Kiss Me Stupid”.

4. And I understand you can get the first three seasons of “Emergency” on DVD. Finally something to watch. And if terrorists break into your house and you capture them, you can torture them with over 75 episodes (kill me now) of Julie London staring out of an alcoholic haze and handing people gauze for hours and hours.

I hope that help, and remember if you call 911 they will connect with you a suicide help line.

ST is something.
