This is a movie that I learned about thanks to podcasts. It isn't one that I hear a lot about, but I still put it on ones to check out. A randomizer selected it and I'm glad it did. We get a solid cast. They feel like old friends and tensions start there. This feels like Deliverance where it goes from there, but a bit more with our villains. Have you seen this one? What do you think?

Imitation is the Greatest Form of Flattery: Hal Holbrook’s Dedication to Mark Twain

During this week, we watched a segment of what was referred to as Mark Twain Tonight! It starred Hal Holbrook, a Hollywood actor who dedicated most of his living life to the studies, the biography, the works, and impersonating the indescribable Mark Twain.

So, how did a nation take this one man seriously? How did the man who played an old senile man in National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation, who burnt up Clark’s christmas tree by lighting his cigar to this heartfelt portrayl of an American icon? Watching the tape, one can easily be turned to a fan.

When Holbrook comes out on stage, he is in full method acting. He is in a 3 piece white suit, just like the many Twain is photographed in. They are about the same size and stature. And in a cloud of smoke from a cigar and some wild eyebrows resembling a cat’s whiskers, Holbrook sells his soul in order to bring Twain back from the dead. 

Holbrook starts with Grandfather’s story of “The Old Ram”. In his accent, he embraces the storytelling ability Twain possessed with a style of recollection from memory. He adds his ‘ehhs’ and grumbles just as Twain would’ve. He puffs the cigar through each gap in sentences, selling the performance in a personal sense of dedication to Twain. He not only talked with hand movements, but allowed conversation to flow through him freely in order to also utilize his body in a way where Twain can fill out his body at all extremities. 

With Holbrook’s speech, his dialct changes for dramatic pauses, shifting from stream of consciousness, and adding laughter to que the audience where comedic releases were meant for. Holbrook covers many segments from his greatest works like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, earlier stories from his writings, and “The Damned Human Race”.

“The Damned Human Race” was a short piece where Twain wrote and criticized Theodore Roosevelt on Imperialism and how America was stolen by manifest destiny, and we had enough issues as it was. We, as a nation definitely had no right going out in other countries, throwing our hat in the ring for power and control just for exploitation of an entire nation and culture. In this speech, Twain divides everyone by their morals and religions, while also showing that we do have similaraties because we are all humans. Selfishness, is said to not have grown by birth, but learned in society. 

Through Holbrook’s collection of performances, he not only accomplishes Twain’s personality, but captures his pure essence, and performs in order to keep the memory of the world’s own mysterious stranger relevant years after his passing. However, I do feel it must be said that Twain did manage to achieve his own accomplishment that even if Holbrook didn’t dedicate his life to learning and embodying Twain, he would still be remembered years after his time.

(Tries finding a movie to watch before the gym. Finds “Girls Nite Out”. Thinks, “Nice. It’s probably like 80 minutes.” Checks box.) Adam (aloud, to himself): 97 minutes? What is this, an art film? Sometimes all the years of movie watching and study goes out the window when some 80s slasher is nearly 20 minutes longer than you expected. Pretty sure this is a first time watch. #girlsniteout #arrowvideo #bluray #halholbrook (at Eastpointe Apartments) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd-7VblgX6C/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This is an underrated talked about slasher film that plays more like a giallo. I watched this a couple years ago and it does some interesting things for sure. It is funny that one of the producers is a local attorney that my buddy worked with as well. Not the best in this genre, but still worth a viewing at least once for the absurdity. What do you think of this movie, if you've seen it?

Hello there everybody Mr Burke here and today I want talk about someone who has just passed away but his film roles will never fade and today I want talk about Hal Holbrook. Hal has been in some great like horror films of Creepshow and others.But to me his best role and film is in John Carpenter classic The Fog as Father Malone. The monologue in film about his ancestors being murders or senses with Blake they to me standout and his profermence elevates The Fog to a classic horror film. Of course he was in film Creepshow in the story with Adrienne Barbeau who was also in The Fog there chemistry is great in Creepshow. I want to finish saying thank you Hal The Fog got me to fall in love with horror your role in The Fog was just great rest in peace Hal you will always be a legend. #halholbrook #halholbrookfilms #actors #horroricons #icons #horror #horrorfans #horrorfansworldwide #horrormovies #horrorcommunity #horroraddict #thefog #creepshow https://www.instagram.com/p/CLFhHYlFxcV/?igshid=1382ii6ohlaq4

RIP #HalHolbrook, 95. I was only talking about him the other week when rewatching All the Presidents Men. I thought he was fantastic in The Firm and The Fog. Always stole the scene. Dirty Harry, Wall Street to name a few, a quality actor. https://www.instagram.com/p/CK1jHEQDAnS/?igshid=zb5vk0gmity6
