The Behind the Scenes Pic of the Day has all the time in the world…
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with today’s Behind the Scenes pic!
I couldn’t help but connect yesterday’s Back to the Future with today’s The Time Machine. It’s my segue ADD acting up again.
Rod Taylor and George Pal’s The Time Machine is a great piece of science fiction and still superior to the updated Guy Pearce/Simon Wells version. I mean, one has Yvette Mimieux and one doesn’t. That settles that!
In today’s pic you’ll see Pal going over the script with an in-costume Rod Taylor. I know it's not quite as exciting as the mini-DeLorean from yesterday, but I jumped at the chance to feature George Pal, a great and mostly unsung hero of movies and television. Also, his Puppetoons are incredible if… shall we say... not entirely PC…
Here’s the pic! Enjoy (and click for the slightly bigger version)!
If you have a pic you think should be included email me. I’m looking for the iconic, the rare or the just plain cool behind the scenes shots to feature here.
We continue the George Pal/HG Wells connection with tomorrow’s Behind the Scenes pic! See ya’ then!

Travis!!!
-
Not gonna say it...
-
I though that this would be a screen cap from Her Majestys Secret Service....oh well
-
..he was Sir Winston Churcill in "Inglorius Basterds"..
-
And for a single second I thought that was Lazemby.
-
Nice picture here, but I was so-o-o-o disappointed.
-
and ditto benlinus..i almost thought that was George Lazenby
-
but she was FAR from the only reason the remake was inferior to the original.
-
soon for your poor choice of words. ;)
-
im going to find a NICE behind the scenes cap of OHMSS and if Herc doesnt post it we're gonna set the internet on fire....
-
Quint, I've found a LOT of cool OHMSS pics.....PLEASE PUT ONE UP!! I will email you.....thanks
-
When I read the title, I thought it would be a cool Bond pic, and consodering there are 23 of them to chose from,n there better be one soon. <P> Also Lazenby was a great Bond, he deserved to do another film, OHMSS is top five Bond for sure.
-
This made me think. I'm not sure I've seen any of the Puppetoons on DVD. I may have once seen Tom Thumb someplace. But not the shorts. Does anyone know if these are out in a collection.
-
Seriously, these old guys must have slayed endless amounts of cunt and bourbon.
-
Incredibly evocative, and the last instrumental piece--when the Time Traveller returns--is achingly beautiful. There is a sadness to the whole story Pal knew American audiences wouldn't accept, and he hid it in the soundtrack.
-
: When the sky was opened. Great in The Birds too. Guy was totally underrated.
-
Ok, I'll start...arguably best Bond screenplay. Top 3 Bond movies. GL was a GREAT Bond and Rigg was The. Best. Bond. Girl. Ever. Period. End of Story.....
-
I feel dirtier than that time I brought home a hooker only to discover she had a penis.

"This never happened to the other fellow"
by Planty_McPlant_Plants_His_Plant_At_AICN
Perhaps the most controversial line in any Bond film ever. It started the whole speculation that "James Bond" was a code name used by numerous secret agents and passed on once an agent died or retired, and was not actually a single person.
-
One of the most beautiful women of all time.
-
Morlocks in 1080p!
-
But actually, Orlando Jones WAS the only memorable aspect of the re-make. Didn't make it "better" than the original for me, but his performance stood out. What the hell happened to that guy?
-
I feel yer pain man......and Planty...wow VERY interesting, never heard that before. nice....
-
Go Rod!
-
But then what would the REAL agents name be? Wouldn't someone find that out? That doesn't make sense.
-
that carried the torch for fantasy and sci-fi films in the '50s and '60s.<p>BTW, the DVD extras of Inglorious have an interview with Taylor, and what a sweet, sweet guy he is. He speaks of Tarantino with a sense of awe, and we we all know it's the other way around. He really should have been as popular as Rock Hudson, James Garner, and other stars of his type.
-
It was a way to acknowledge Lazenby taking over the most linked role of that era. It was a clever line, done as a tossaway, and said just before the opening credits.<p>And OHMSS has the BEST John Barry score ever, Goldfinger a very close second.
-
There is an interview with him on the DVD. They go visit his house and he still has the actual time machine. He talks about how much he spent to restore it and get all the lights a parts working again. He then sits in it a fires it up and pretends to go back in time. It's pretty funny and sad at the same time.
-
so let down right now :(
-
...but this is seriously Quint's first major opportunity with this column to listen to its growing number of fans and give them something they want: On Her Majesty's Secret Service. I really hope Quint has read the posts in this talkback. We're ready for OHMSS, or he can give a weak "to maintain a sense of continuity..." and deflate the excitement I'm seeing here.
-
It's one of the best action adventure movies ever made.
-
I've heard stories about him being a legendary tough guy. Can anyone validate this?
-
a few week's back. They loved it, especially the Time Travel bit's and the War.
-
C'mon - give us some Lazenby, please.
-
in opposite world!
-
Apparently he KO'd Jim Brown while making Dark of the Sun. Which should qualify him as a bad ass in anyone's book.
-
I was sure this would be Bond. Such a sad ending.....
-
"We have allll the tiime in the world," in that distinctive gravelly voice stuck in my head. Thats not a bad thing, I'm just sayin'.
-
Don't mislead with your headlines Quint!
-
And yes, a classic soundtrack, available in a new edition at amazon. Picked it up a few days ago.
-
is pretty cool. However, a little later in the film, Bond quits and starts packing up his stuff, which includes trinkets from the past movies (including the theme song from each film they reference *ugh*) This is the only bit that makes me cringe. The rest is fabulous. (Actually, I don't know why they don't open the movies with new Bonds recovering from plastic surgery. To their face. Coz they look different.) Rigg is great as the fucked up suicidal rich girl and Lazenby is spot on. Cool theme song. In HD, Lazenby looks a little odd sometimes. I think it was the slathering of makeup over his 11 O'clock shadow. Anyone else notice this? Anyway, I'm with Nolan on its brilliance. If only they'd all been that good. Compare it to fucking Moonraker or View To A Kill... it's like they're from parallel universes.
-
The original Time Machine was a bittersweet, ironic masterpiece. The update is horrible. But with a little creative re-editing it can easily be salvaged. Here, try http://tinyurl.com/38f3bcz
-
1. War of the Worlds 2. The Time Machine 3. Robinson Crusoe on Mars 4. The Day the Earth Stood Still. 5. Forbidden Planet
-
I sort of imagined a pic of the crew looking into the car as Lazenby cradles Diana Rigg...<p><p>Sorry, I appear to have something in my eye...
-
I think The Incredible Shrinking Man is another great one from the 50's.
-
on your list. Therefore...it is invalid
-
Needs more Lazenby!
-
I never get why some people have this theory,. not only does it make no sense but it's pretty gay. He's obviously the same person, but like Comics, he is continuously being updated, every actor that has taken the role has updated the series and usually (although not always) only an actors films are tied together, I mean The world of goldeneye isn't the world of OHMSS, but It is the same person, just retcond so that bond isn't in his 80's by the 20th film
-
I have not seen the original Body Snatcher's movie so it couldn't make MY list of MY favorite movies of that era. My list, MY favorites. It is impossible for the list to be invalid. I am not claiming what is the "best."
-
Yes, I did like the "Incredible Shrinking Man." I would add to my list the following the more I think about it. 6. The Beast From 20,000 Fathoms 7. The Fly 8. The Creature From the Black Lagoon 8. The Incredible Shrinking Man 9. The Thing 10. The Blob
-
Not only pointing to the foremention story where he beat the crap out of Jim Brown at a Playboy party, just look at his physicality in The Time Machine - especially during the fight scene with the Morlocks. He's jumping around like crazy doing drop kicks and the such. He even literally catches one of the Morlocks (remember the actors who plays the Morlocks were pretty portly) and throws him. That Morlock must have weighed at least 200 pounds and Rod threw him around easily. That dude had some serious retard strength without being retarded.
-
This flick has been a fav of mine for decades. I showed it to my daughter when she was 3 and she loved it to. We must have watched it weekly for a few months way back. We watched it again recently (she's 13 now), and though we still love it we cracked up everytime Weena's character was called by name. The scene when Weena gets caught by the Morlocks and George goes crazy running around yelling "WEENA! WEENA!" brought us to hysterics. Still holds up well today, though I wish HG had thought up a different name for willowy Weena.
-
For real
-
bottom of the page @ seriousissues.net check it out!
-
So Connery Bond gives up the name, Lazenby Bond takes it over and his wife gets killed, then Connery Bond comes back for revenge? And Moore Bond finishes him off after visiting Lazenby Bond's wife's grave? Idiocy. (Oh, I suppose they'll argue that we don't know that that's Blofeld in FYEO).
-
And I don't even like that one.

I like The Glass Bottom Boat much better than this movie. I mean it had Doris Day, Paul Lynde, Dick Martin, and Dom DeLuise.
-
My first thought at the headline was a pic from the original TIME MACHINE, but I could definitely understand the OHMSS excitement - definitely top 3 Bond (along with FR,WL and Goldfinger, in my humble opinion. Best score, best Bond 'girl,' best opening credits - although Goldfinger's close - best ending and a plot faithful to the book.) As for Taylor, I heard a story that he climbed up the side of the hotel the cast was staying at in Hawaii during the filming of TIME MACHINE to get to Mimieux's room. (Don't know what happened next.) Also loved WORLD WITHOUT END as a kid. Cheesy effects, but the movie that got Taylor cast as the time traveller.
-
Isn't "we've got all the time in the world" the last words we hear from those creepy fireplace-lurking f**kers in that flick? Don't ask me where I thought you'd ever find a BTS shot from that movie, though. That would be mighty impressive!

Or was it Donald Pleasance? Personally, my favorite villain is Curt Jurgens from The Spy Who Loved Me.

Sorry about the confusion. Didn't even occur to me that line would trigger OHMSS, even though I should have known. I do read and I do listen to the demands here. I have a couple of great pics lined up for the rest of the week, but I did find some OHMSS that I'll run Saturday for you folks. Plus, I have some good Connery Bond that'll run Sunday. It will be a Bondian weekend!
-
I love the 1960 flick and I even like the 2002 one, but I'd give yer mama's left and right nuts to see a film that was true to the original novel with the monkey like Morlocks and the "gray" alien-ish Eloi.
-
you should check out the 1995 sequel approved by the Wells family "The Time Ships" written by Stephen Baxter. It picks up right after the original novel's ending. It's a great read.
-
...is fantastic. One of my favorite films of all time.
-
hopefully its robert shaw as the evil bond.
-
even though he did look plastered the entire time.
-
...And the decomposing Morlock was in my head for weeks afterwards. Awesome old movie.
-
...Did think it was cool of QT to have Taylor cameo as Churchill. Hadn't seen him in a while...
-
Looking forward to the Bond pics!
-
it IS a great read, but it's a sequel to the H.G.Wells novel, not the movie. There are subtle differences between them. If you've only seen the movie, you might be confused in places.
-
There is a Puppetoons Movie on DVd through amazon on region one that contains most (but not all) of the shorts in order (including most the racial insensitve ones). Check out 'Tulips Shall Grow' as a piece of Wartime brilliance.
-
Good on ya, that's service!
-
all the time as a kid when it was on tv. I've watched both recently again, and I still enjoy them just as much. <p>I remember absolutley zilch about the Time Machine remake. Granted, I've only seen it once, but I have no inclination to revisit it.
-
I guess unknown flesh eating monsters that see in the dark are scary! Only bad guys that made me crap my pants as a kid...that strange Morlock head statue near to where he lands still gives me the creeps lol
-
Caught it on TV when I was young -- loved it. The faceless sphinx was especially creepy. I remember a friend doing a book report on the novel in 7th grade. He pronounced the girl's name WAY-na because he refused to say WEE-na in front of the class.
-
and thought this pic would be from "Her Majesty's Secret Service" and that the George in question would be Lazenby. Bond fans know why.<p>Fuck!
-
But the Time Machine spoof on Futurama was priceless.
-
Something about a scientist with a dead wife, a hot chick in the future walking by with a bike before the moon blows up, the 7Up pitch man, monsters with rubber faces that don't move and an albino. Seriously, that's all I remember from that travesty!
-
Looking forward to the OHMSS pics! I was gonna email you a few but they were either too small or had logos that I could edit out. Im curious to see what your pics will be...please cite your source. thanks
-
No worries, you da man with the BTS pix.<p> Re: OHMSS "This never happened to the other guy."
-
Also my favorite Bond by a mile. I would have liked to have seen what Lazenby would have done if he had made more.
-
The Time Machine discussion will be oh so enjoyable. Don't apologize for the confusion, Quint. Just tell these douches to piss off.
-
Real good guy.
-
as a bonus on the DVD where the inventor comes to visit his old friend Philby to try to convince him to come with me.
-
...with the title that you used. I was expecting to see Bond holding his dead bride in the car with Cameras around them.
-
I didn't realize a bunch of people said the exact same thing I did. It's kinda nice to know so many people appreciate that Bond movie. When I was younger I thought it was boring and weird. But actually just watched it again for the first time a month ago on VHS and thoroughly enjoyed it.
