Funny what comes to mind when I can't
think of anything else to do at night.
As I said before the jump, it was kind
of late at night, and for some reason, I just couldn't stop thinking
about the Sinbad the Sailor movies. They were the sort of thing I
kind of liked as a kid, but only watched a couple of them. I think
the last time I saw any of the actual articles was probably around
the time I was ten or twelve, so they would have to have been the
versions made from the 1950s through the early 80s.
I remember that they were fun movies,
and thinking that I'd like to see more of them, but as I got older,
my tastes turned more towards science fiction and I never did quite
get to that. Maybe now that I'm getting into my mid thirties, I'll
have to see if I can find them someplace again.
And I'll have to see if I can find the
Three Stooges take on the Sinbad movies. I think there was at least
one of those, too, and one where the Stooges built a time machine and
wound up sending themselves back to ancient Greece where somebody
who'd got trapped in their time machine with them got mistaken for
Hercules. Those were good, too. And Have Rocket, Will Travel.
It was funny watching Moe, Larry, and Curly Joe meet a unicorn on
Venus.
It's really too bad
we don't see many movies like Sinbad or the Three Stooges parody
movies made any more. I'd be more inclined to pay the $8.25 or
whatever regular priced tickets are any more if they did.
