Anyone would have to admit that Robert Wise couldn't be pigeonholed about the kind of movies he made.

In order to honor Wise's career TCM has changed their schedule for Sept. 23 to movies that he was involved in making. What a variety, we lost a great film maker.

6:00 AM Citizen Kane (as editor)
8:00 AM The Magnificent Ambersons (as editor)
9:30 AM The Curse of the Cat People (director)
11:00 AM The Body Snatcher (director)
12:30 PM Born to Kill (director)
2:30 PM The Set-Up (director)
4:00 PM Executive Suite (director)
6:00 PM Somebody Up There Likes Me (director)
8:00 PM West Side Story (director/producer)
10:45 PM Run Silent, Run Deep (director)
12:30 AM The Haunting (director/producer)
2:30 AM Odds Against Tomorrow (director/producer)
4:30 AM Blood on the Moon (director)

Here's a link to the schedule and a bio of Robert Wise.

Thanks to Gerry and Greg K over at SciFilm.org for the news on this.

I had forgotten his hand in The Day the Earth Stood Still, Audrey Rose, and Star Trek: The Motion Picture.  There was a running mood in his films, a certain camera angle that was his signature.  A true artist, now at rest.

It's nice to see a network like TCM that doesn't limit itself to 80's crap and whatever is in the DVD bargain bin at Walmart. I'm not crazy about every single thing they've done, but the network that introduced me to the works of Val Lewton will always hold a special spot with me. To me, TCM is the only remaining cable network that hasn't completely sold out. Comedy Central has some decent shows, but their movies suck monkey ass (and what's up with taking nearly an hour out of The Big Lebowski? f**kin' fascists). Having just seen AMC's lame Halloween movie lineup, I can say I'm officially boycotting them, at least online...

Something I remembered this weekend - Russ Tamblyn worked with Wise in both WSS and 'The Haunting'. How many actors can say that they worked with the same director on two different movies that were of entirely different genres? Not many.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
