THE FARM OF TOMORROW - Tex Avery (1954)

Well, this will be the last installment of the Tex Avery 'Tomorrow' series around here! 

Don't you sometimes wish your name was Tex? I do!

 Here it is, "The Farm Of Tomorrow," 1954 style!

Very high tech, neat and clean looking, that's for sure!

Science has done wonders in the future, and most of it is what we like to refer to as twofers!

That's a two for the price of one deal in a combination of two things, like in this case, a toaster, and an incubator that hatches chicks in the same time it would take to make a piece of toast!

Tex Avery's chickens were well taken care of with spacious cages decades ago. Too bad this part was only a cartoon!

 This whole cartoon is an assortment of sketches of the future followed by how it would all pan out, like in this case, the combination of a chicken and a parrot! 

 What do you get? A chicken that lets you know when there are eggs to be gathered!

 A cross between a chicken and an ostrich produces............

..........Much bigger drumsticks! There's lots of hungry mouths out there, so more production is a major deal!

Same thing here, a cross between a chicken and a centipede also produces.......

 ................A lot more food!

 A cross between a beaver and a cow makes a cow that can swat it's own flies!

A cross between a cow and a kangaroo produces.......

 

.......A cow that delivers it's own milk!

 Don't like plucking a duck? This one peels like a banana!

 Now this is a good idea! I saw a tree one time in the Fresno Underground Gardens where a guy had grafted about 13 different fruit onto one tree, so it's not completely as crazy as it appears!

 A giraffe crossed with a race horse makes it a winner even if it's in last place!

 IF all that wasn't odd enough, the real freak show is in the 'Reject Barn!'

This is a stool pigeon! 

And last we have this cross between an owl and a goat that produced a hootenanny! 

Don't blame me, I just work here!

CREEPSHOW / Creepshow Films Inc., Laurel Entertainment Inc. - 1982

I'll be unloading a lot of eighties movies over the next few months in an attempt to include more movies we have yet to review. Eegah!! and I divide our review choices up, he basically despises the newer movies so it's my job to fill in the blanks in our quest to cover as many movies as we can before we've had enough and tap out. Today's post is number 2045 on the old dusty Dungeon trail to oblivion...

Today's feature is one I saw when it came out, it's all about horror comics and how much kids love them. But, this dad is livid over his son's addiction to weird stuff.

I have a sound clip from this flick for your approval, sooooo, you can push the big red 'GO' button located there by our pre-code horror comic collection, NOW, Ralphie The Tarantula!.. Here's... CREEPSHOW!

The first of five stories deals with a crazy old rich coot that returns from the grave in order to get the Father's Day cake his murdering daughter never served him.

But, at the end, he gets his cake and eats it too!

Our second story stars Stephen King as country hayseed Jordy Verrill, he makes the stupid mistake of touching one of Lovecraft's missing meteorites after it crashes near his house.

Well, everything he touches turns into foliage because he's now a plant! And, the infection just keeps on spreading across the countryside, happy nightmares ever'bloody!

In this tale, Leslie Nielsen plays a real little bitch, here, he has a devilish plan for Ted Danson and his cheating wife...

Of course, the plan backfires big time and Leslie ends up buried in the sand hisself, waiting for the tide to come in!

The fourth tale is about a gruesome creature that resides in a crate at the local college and the bloody mystery surrounding it.

Let's put it this way... Get me the Hell out of here!!!

E.G. Marshall is millionaire Upson Pratt in the last story, he hates people, he hate germs, he hates bugs... He's locked up in his high rise apartment in a Howard Hughes type existence. What he does love though is money and power.

He can't get anyone to help him when tons of cockroaches infest and invade his shining domain, oh well! Tune in again on Wednesday when we'll have another review just for you.

T.V. OF TOMORROW - Tex Avery (1953)

"The Future is Now, The Future is Here!"

Welcome to the "T.V. Of Tomorrow," Dungeon style!

Well, there's a lot of this that is spot on, and there is also a lot that just isn't relevant anymore!

Here's a sleepy little burg pre-TV, and after the introduction of the television!

TV antennas were quite the plague at one time! Cable TV fixed that problem in most areas of the country!

Science hasn't quite figured out how to do this yet, but I'm sure they're working on it!

Now this scene where absolutely all activities were based around the TV is not that far fetched!

At first TV's were too complicated with too many dials....

So they fixed that by streamlining it down to only one dial!

Now, only the one dial is overly complicated!

Here's a TV made for people who squint!

The televisions of the future were expected to be much more multi-functional!

The TV cigarette lighter! I'm sure Samsung is working on this one!

This television came with a complete 24/7 hour warranty!

If you wanted to watch one of those stations that was more than 30 miles away, you had to come up with some tricky innovations !

This virtual concept is really not that far out of touch with what I've seen in some casinos today!

Some things have not changed! No matter how many channels you have, it's all the same!

Here's a TV built specifically for peeping Toms!

Tex was a little perverted for sure!

Again, this is not that far removed from modern online gambling!

"T.V. Of Tomorrow" is another cartoon you can find for free on the Internet Archive!

Now that's one thing they hadn't figured out back in 1953!
