SOS Coast Guard - Final Entry

I remember I was writing a little about that Bela Lugosi serial, SOS Coast Guard. I finished watching it. As I recall, the main character, hero, was Terry Kent. And it had a happy ending. Kind of a weird ending, [SPOILER ALERT], with Thorg being shot in the cave, then falling backwards into the water, never, we assume, to be seen again. But he IS seen again.

Dr. Whatever, Bela's character, doesn't win. The scientist formulates the antidote to counteract his terrible gas, and no, it wasn't Beano.

Lately, I've been watching the other Bela serial I have, "The Phantom Creeps." It definitely has its moments. In this one, and it says it on the DVD box, too, you are rooting for Bela to conquer the world. It'd be kind of cool to have Bela Lugosi conquer the world, then be holding all us hostage for, what exactly? What would Bela want from us? It's ridiculous to want to conquer the world.

And it's even more ridiculous when he talks about destroying the world. Why would he want to do that? Where would he be then?

Yah hah

Unused blogs age fast. Just another dead-end.

I hate to let this one die. Even though it's purpose is at present purposeless. I like the name, though, and it must endure for that reason, if for no other!

I was writing about the CDs I was getting. But there hasn't been too many lately. Except one day I got 15 or 16 at one time. And some I've actually listened to. The whole thing of getting them on my iPod isn't very handy, but a matter of step step step. (I don't like putting them directly into iPod's format because it isn't useful for anything else and I'd rather have them as mp3's since I can use that format in various ways.)

Anyway, one of the CDs was an oddball for me, a few actually. "The Very Best of Conway Twitty." I've had Twitty tracks before, an album here or there, but never for listening. Except for the old single, "It's Only Make Believe." This album has 10 tracks, and the only one I'd ever heard before, besides "Make Believe" was "Hello Darlin'". But I got it on the iPod and listened to the whole album a couple times.

"Don't Cry Joni" is the weirdest track. It's about a guy 21 and a girl 15, but she's too young, so he goes off somewhere else. Then five years later when he wants her, and she has vowed to wait for him, he finds she's already married. The other tracks are pretty good, good enough anyway, in a very twangy, affected country style.
