Requests

requests1

Thankfully we get lots of requests for new pages.  Well…the wife recently informed me that my way of collecting my requests was pretty weak.  She seems to think that writing down requests on whatever piece of paper or napkin or bill that is currently on my desk is not the way to do it.  So….since she is way smarter than me….I have decided to create a page just for requests.  Plus it should give a good idea of what pages are coming down the pike.

My logic in picking which page to do next….I lean heavily towards the subject that has the most requests.

  • Roger Corman – request by Dan
  • Peter Cushing – request made by SteveLensman, Dan & Brando 90
  • Disney Live Action 1967-1980 – request by Mimic
  • Foreign Movies requested by Laurent
  • Samuel Goldwyn – request by Dan
  • Sam Katzman – request by Dan
  • Fritz Lang – request by Lupino, Just Me
  • Bruce Lee – request by Brando 90
  • Harold Lloyd – request by Søren, Me
  • Henry Mancini – request by Flora
  • Patricia Medina – request by Dan
  • Mirisch Brothers – request by Dan
  • Edward Small – request by Dan
  • Rudolph Valentino – request by Laurent

Completed requests:

Many more to come…have to find all of my old napkins and transfer the requests to this page.

  1. Hi Mr. Cogerson,
    Thanks I didn’t see Christopher Plummer.
    1.Do you see Eleanor Parker being reviewed in the future?
    2. Do you have any movie data on the 1960s?
    Please do you have the year 1964 especially.
    Thanks again
    Mike

    1. Hey Mike….hope you like the Plummer page….as for Parker being reviewed in the near future…it is a good possibility. A quick IMDb check says she has 80 credits….of that there are 38 that are television, uncredited or not released in North American. That leaves 42 movies to research. A quick check in my database shows 34 movies already researched and ready to go.

  2. Hi Mr. Cogerson,
    I really enjoy your website.
    I have several suggestions for additional actors, but 2 often overlooked are
    Christopher Plummer and Eleanor Parker.
    Also do you have data on the year off 1964.
    Please review

    thank you
    Mike

    1. Hey Mike. There is a Christopher Plummer page already. I tried to attach the link but my comment disappeared. Just go to the site index and look up the Ps.

      1. Hey In The Shadows….sorry your link sent it to my e-mail for approval. The website is being run over by spam…so we had to make it a little harder on them.

    2. Hey Mike….as In The Shadows mentioned…we do indeed already have a Plummer page. As for Eleanor Parker…we will be glad to add her to the request list. Thanks for the kind words about our website.

      As for 1964….let’s see…currently we 110 1964 movies with box office results in our database…are there some movies that you are looking for? We are working our way to 1964….we are currently done with 1936 to 1949, 1952 and 1959.

    1 Whatever gripe Hirschhorn had with Mr Mumbles doesn’t seem to extend to method actors generally as I have just read a biography of Rod Steiger in which glowing praise from Hirsch for Rod is quoted and that got me wondering what would be Joel’s reaction if he knew Rod had been denied a page on the Hirschhorn protege’s movies site, especially if Joel saw that his own favourite whipping boy had long been honoured with a page.

    2 Actually I had been thinking for a while now about requesting a Steiger page but I backed off as you’re normally exceptionally busy and anyway you have now granted every one of my requests bar one for a Hedwig Eva Maria Kiesler page.

    3 However Joel has considerable clout on this site and it occurred to me to think “With Hirsch in Rod’s corner maybe that will swing things Steiger’s way so perhaps this is an opportune time to lodge the request for a Steiger page.” I must now try to find out if Joel had any good things to say about Hedwig as if so that could maybe bump her too up the queue.

    1. Hey Bob….good suggestion on Rod Steiger. Joel liked him more than Brando but not by much. Rod is ranked 210th of 410 people in his book.

      After a pretty productive August things will be much slower in September with school in session, spam attacks and database issues…. but I will get Rod and Hedy done in the next few weeks. 🙂

      1. HI BRUCE

        1 Steiger said that he liked Mr M’s acting but couldn’t stand him as a person.

        2 Apparently it is customary within the movie acting profession that when you share a scene with someone – like the famous taxi scene in Waterfront – you remain with the other performer while his/her follow-up close-ups are being shot. According to Rod Mr M refused to honour that custom but instead quit the set and and left Rod to his own devices,
