Bloop… For a real riot, checkout the schlocky shoe-string budget sci-fi flick “Without Warning” with Mitchell – not to mention a slumming Martin Landau, Jack Palance and none other than Corporal Agarn himself, Larry Storch! But in all fairness to poor old Cameron, he did manage a role as the notorious hoodlum lampooned by the Sid Ceaser-like character portrayed by Joe Bologna in the terrific “My Favorite Year” back in 1982 – in the midst of all his drive-in horror film appearances.
KFC was actually pretty good in the seventies. I think they were using the original recipe which had a little spice to it. That has been homogenized out of existence to the tasteless crud they serve now. Hopefully KFX is not one of the sponsors at the top of the page.
KFC, that is. It’s getting late.
Yes, ken mc… KFC should certainly be distinguished from its more honestly named precursor Kentucky Fried Chicken. The Colonel must be rolling over in his grave.
KFC was better in the 1970’s. I remember their stores were also few and far between…I remememer Northport (my friend’s sister was a manager), Massapequa (one of my friends worked there) and Deer Park? Today, KFC’s main problem is that, underneath the crispy coating, there is a slimey/watery under-coating that makes the entire skin slide off with the first bite. Truly disgusting. KFC also has the worst/ most careless employees, and sometimes the customers can look like a casting call for a John Waters movie…….
Check out the Loyola Theater (Westchester, CA) page for a You Tube TV ad posted recently. The Colonel makes a live appearance. You can also see the theater, which was the point of the addition.
The theatre opened July 1963
I saw part of the film “All That Jazz” there in 1979 (I walked out because I thought it was so bad). And of course, I first saw “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” there at the midnight showing in 1980.
I seen that crazy ass worm movie called SQUIRM in this theater and also food of the gods.
I was never inside this theatre but found the signage unique. Am I not correct in remembering this and the Deer Park as having the only yellow signs of all the Long Island theatres?
