"For the Universal Music Group, months of uncertainty came to an end on Friday when it received regulatory clearance in Europe and the United States for its $1.9 billion takeover of EMI Music.
Next week the deal is set to close, and Lucian Grainge, Universal’s chairman, plans to address the EMI staff in Los Angeles as its new leader.
But serious questions about the deal remain to be answered, for Universal as well as for artists and consumers around the world."

MASTER OF HORROR / Jack H. Harris Enterprises - 1965

Image
Welcome to Friday Night Drive-In with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's offering is a fairly obscure (not even 1 review on IMDb!) flick made in Argentina and produced by Jack H. Harris. Jack had already made THE BLOB, THE 4-D MAN and DINOSAURUS. I swear, there was supposed to be another Blob movie recently, I wonder what happened to that project?! Hey, I used to have that poster! This movie was originally paired with another Harris production, MASTER OF TERROR, which is none other than a renamed version of THE 4-D MAN!! Pretty danged slick, Jack. I know, the title card says 'The' Master Of Horror! There are no credits for the music. Obviously, it's stock music from who knows where, so, my job's like, done here... Lettuce now bring in our littlest Dungeon helper and buddy, the one, the only, sure 'nuf, itz... Rufus The Gnat!! Yippie, yappie, yahooie!.. Rufus is all set to push the big red 'GO' button and start the show, so, push the button now, ...

Welcome to Monster Monday with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's feature is a reprise of a previous post of this title, but, this time we're bringing it to you in COLOR!! Also, like our last post, this is a movie from the great year of 1955! Nothing sez 'big ugly thing' better than blaring horns! Lettuce bring in our Monster Monday Helper, sure 'nuf, good old Rufus The Gnat! Rufus is here to push the big red 'GO' button and start the show. Push the button now, Rufus, here's... IT CAME FROM BENEATH THE SEA In Color! Enjoy the pretty pitchers!.. Kenneth Tobey, on the left, will forever be remembered as Captain Patrick Hendry in THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD, the guy was totally awesome with 205 acting credits!! So then, he's perfect here as submarine Commander Pete Mathews. Him and the crew brace themselves for a hit by something big! Here's Donald Curtis and Faith Domergue as atomic bee keepers!! Don plays Dr. John Carter, Faith plays Profe...

ATTACK FROM MARS / Wade Williams Productions - 1988

Image
Welcome to a special Friday the 13th, Friday Night Drive-In Theater with Tabonga, here at The Dungeon!.. Tonite's total trainwreck sadly stars Robert (THE MAN FROM PLANET X) Clarke and Ann (THE WAR OF THE WORLDS) Robinson. One of the reviews on IMDb cracked me up, the reviewer was upset that you cannot give a film zero stars! The 'story' goes about like this... A Martian begins to attack the patrons and staff of a movie theater as a 'Republic' sci-fi serial plays there one night in the fifties. Original title is MIDNIGHT MOVIE MASSACRE. The original music is by Bill Crain, who has 4 composing credits, but, no telling where the tunes in the movie came from... Lettuce bring in our littlest of all Dungeon helpers and button pushers, the lover of rotten fruit and vegetables, Rufus The Gnat!.. Howdy, Rufus! The little weirdo is here to start our soundclip, so, push the big red 'GO' button there by the box of dynamite, now, Rufus! Here's some noise from.....
