WOW – got some new mega media coming down the content pipeline. We’ll be providing a bunch more new streams, downloads and images. Get ready for hours and hours of new fun stuff to watch.
Coming Soon to LikeTelevision (arriving in May 2005) – David O. Selznik’s Hollywood classic on Hollywood behind the scenes – A Star is Born – which was nominated for SEVEN Academy Awards in 1937. You may have seen the 1954 version with Judy Garland – which was very good, or perhaps the version with Barbara Steisand and Kris Kristofferson, which was ok…. but William Wellman’s original version in 1937 just rocks – old school. Starring Janet Gaynor and Frederic March. And yes – it’s great movie, worth watching, charming, funny and entertaining.
And after that – we will be offering one of Charlie Chaplin’s best films – The Kid. The film is directed by Charlie Chaplin, who stars as the tramp character. It also features Jackie Coogan as the loveable kid. Ring a bell? It should – Jackie Coogan grew up to be Uncle Fester on the Adam’s Family Tv Show.
Another literary classic comes to digital life at LikeTelevision in May. The Scarlet Pimpernel – perhaps the best novel about the French Revolution written by Baroness Emmuska Magdalena Rosalia Maria Josefa Barbara Orczy. (Read the book online). So what is a pimpernel you ask – well it is a flower, so a scarlet pimpernel is a red flower, which was the calling card of the hero, Sir Percy Blakeney who is the leader of the League of the Scarlet Pimpernel – a group that fights against the Reign of Terror in Paris and helps save innocent people from getting killed by the brutal regime.
Yes… there will be more… but this should be enough to keep you busy. Go read the book – it will make the movie even more exciting.
