The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

Well, since we have the obligatory "phonographs in moves" thread, I thought I'd start the anti-christ thread of the evil crappophones creeping onto the big (or small) screen.

My first offering is from the 1999 remake of the House on Haunted Hill. This gem made its appearance in the opening minutes of the movie.





I know I've seen plenty more out there.

...I think I may have to go through my Doctor Who collection and see what evils crapophones lurk within...

Ironically, I was just looking at grabbing a few movies that John only had on VHS for him, so he (or I) could grab stills from them.

I actually have them waiting in the wings....you may not get the chance....but then again, I could be nice and let someone else play.

Zeppy,

If you beat me to it, I wouldn’t mind—based on the list of movies John gave me, we might see these threads expanding quite a bit in the near future...

OK...I'll be nice and just post one of them...from the 2007 season of Doctor Who, the episode "Human Nature" tucked away in a corner behind David Tennat:




I'll give you a couple of days to find the other one before I post it...just to give you a sporting chance.

Well, in addition to the other Doctor Who episode, I know of one other movie off the top of my head (Hellboy...I don't own the movie, so this one is on someone else's head), and a made for TV movie based on a Steven King story (Rose something or other). I know I've seen more in the past.

From Doctor Who (2005) Season 3 Episode 11, Utopia

I now know why I didn’t remember it—they never actually show it, other than over The Master’s shoulder...

another shot...because we all REALLY want to see it

I wasn't aware that Sir Derek Jacobi played in the Dr Who series. (I'm still stuck in the Tom Baker era of Dr Who) I've always enjoyed his films and his Brother Cadfael Mysteries are a great watch.

He was only in for one episode...but the new series has certainly upped the quality from the Tom Baker years...in more ways than one.
