Pictures! X3
Mar. 11th, 2006 03:15 amClicking them takes you to the full-size versions, and the descriptions I wrote up. First we have this attempt at anime Monkees. XD I'm quite pleased with it, and I think everyone is recognizable.
( OC Art )
And I finished the story! **pets it.** I'm really pleased with how it came out. All of it's floating around online somewhere now except for the final segment. There's five segments altogether. Then of course I have my idea for the next story, and it's called Will the Real Baby Face Please Stand Up? Go ahead and take a guess what it's about. If I already told you, that doesn't count. XD;
Plus, about half a dozen people in a Monkees fanfic group I'm in have expressed interest in me writing a story telling about how Tony and Baby Face met up in the first place. I can't help it, those characters really intrigue me, and especially Tony. I would like to know if he was always a crooked cop, or if he started out trying to uphold the law and then something happened that set him down a wrong path, and I would like to know how he ever made Baby Face's acquaintance. Was he the cop originally assigned to capture him? I have a lot of ideas for the story floating around in my mind, and knowing that I'm not the only one interested in the subject encourages me to write it.
On another note, I found out that Roy Stuart, my favorite actor from the old show Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C. died this past Christmas. @__@ (And I keep typing Ryou every time I try to say Roy!) Roy played Corporal Charles Boyle, an absolutely awesome character. Man, I had no idea he was dead.
The way I found out was quite bizarre and off-the-wall, and it all connects with The Monkees. XD; I already mentioned I'm intrigued by Tony. I think some of the expressions he got during the Alias Micky Dolenz episode were so very priceless, and that the scene with Micky in the backroom would have been a lot less funny without Tony's reactions. So, as might be expected, I wanted to know what else the actor had been in. Well, the actor, Jimmy Murphy, is a character actor who mostly appeared in random episodes of old TV shows. (He also appeared in four or five Bowery Boys movies in the fifties. I had no idea the Bowery Boys even existed until two nights ago.) Anyway, so he was in an episode of Gomer Pyle's show. And of course, since I have all the episodes recorded, I wanted to know where that episode fit in so I could go watch it.
Well, a long time ago I compiled an episode guide for the show, and sorted everything into order. I don't think there's another Gomer episode guide anywhere on the web that has both titles and descriptions. But I forgot the URL of my own website. XD; So I Googled it and ended up on Wikipedia.com, and from there I learned that Roy Stuart had died. o.o;
Incidentally, I did find my website (Angelfire was stupidly case-sensitive!), and the episode guide. It was the episode right before my favorite Gomer episode, Gomer the Welsh Rarebit Fiend. And I happened to know where that tape was, so I got it out, hooked up the VCR, and watched it. Jimmy Murphy played a guy on the street who whistled at Lou-Ann Poovie when Gomer, Sergeant Carter, and Duke were all walking her home and going through a bad neighborhood. What resulted was a hilarious scene where Carter tried to be all macho and bawl the guy out, Duke wanted to handle it, and Gomer said it had all been a misunderstanding.
By the way, another irony is that right after that taped episode, I found the second half of the Screen Gems Network version of Monkees in a Ghost Town. I'd completely forgotten that I'd put that episode on two tapes!
