I ENJOY AND APPRECIATE,I OWN THE UNIVERSAL MONSTER COMPLETE COLLECTION BLU RAY SET.CFTBL IS AN ESSENTIAL CLASSIC HORROR FILM...THAT SAID.ACTING WASNT WHAT IT IS NOW AND ACTRESSES WERE ABOUT AS REPLACABLE AND DISPOSABLE AS THE DIRECTOR'S CHEWING GUM,SAVE FOR A FEW TRANSCENDANT LADIES WHOS NAMES ARE MORE FAMOUS NOW THAN ANY OF THE MOSTLY DATED AND FORGOTTEN FILMS THEY APPEARED IN.ALL RESPECT TO JULIE ADAMS AND HER CAREER AND HER LONG ASS LIFETIME BUT SERIOUSLY...A 90 YEAR OLD WOMAN WHOS MAJOR CREDIT IS SWIMMING WITH THE FISHMAN 70 YEARS AGO IS GONNA GET LEFT OFF SOME LISTS AND FORGOTTEN.

By the way, as the annual Oscars "In Memoriam" reel inevitably includes some agents, executives, and other Hollywood business types who probably absolutely none of us have ever heard of, yet pretty much seemingly everyone has seen CftBL and at least generally remembers what Julie Adams looked like in her swimming-with-Gill-Man famous movie scenes, it's hard to understand how the Oscar powers-that-be couldn't have taken the 7-10 or so seconds to include a brief moment showing her in that film.

Viewers like to see actors/actresses and film clips, in the In Memoriam reel, who they actually recognize and can readily recall.

PS: I missed (other than the first 30 or so minutes) Sunday night's Oscar broadcast, so now am wondering who all was included in the In Memoriam reel and who got left out.

Wow: I can see them leaving Stanley Donen out, as he died only a day or two before Oscars Sunday (hopefully he'll be included in next year's In Memoriam), though leaving out people as recognizable as Carol Channing, Sondra Locke, and Verne Troyer is inexplicable and just plain wrong.

STICK TO TERRIBLE OPINIONS AND NON JOKES MECHAJUNK.I TYPE WITH CAPS...OH NO.THE HORROR.YOU BITCHING ABOUT IT SAYS WAY MORE ABOUT YOU THAN IT DOES ME.
