The articles I mentioned list a great variety of <i>-rama</i> names, at least some of which were meant more seriously, including <i>liquorama</i> and <i>Shirt-O-Rama</i>. And then there was the kids’ TV show with Sonny Fox, <i>Wonderama</i>.<br /><br />I’m guessing you watched <i>Killer’s Kiss</i> on TCM last night. If you don’t already know them, take a look at <a href="https://collections.mcny.org/CS.aspx?VP3=DamView&VBID=24UP1GRYIXMY2&PN=1&WS=SearchResults" rel="nofollow">Kubrick’s NYC subway photos</a>.Michael Leddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05547732736861224886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-20094557730348011492021-03-07T08:52:55.906-06:002021-03-07T08:52:55.906-06:00I think the 4D reference in the sign is a parody O...I think the 4D reference in the sign is a parody Of Cinerama (hence "HimbERAMA"), 3D movies, and Cinemascope, all of which were prominent Hollywood efforts at the time to compete with the new medium of television.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14529513500236567315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-28163474704269103492016-02-09T20:00:11.396-06:002016-02-09T20:00:11.396-06:00I’m happy to meet a like-minded reader.

Even Kubrick was somewhat dismissive of it, calling it "a student film".<br />Of course the best thing about Killer's Kiss is all the great shots of a NYC transformed into something else again, one of the lost treasures recorded is Penn Station, the demolition of which was described as "one of the greatest acts of urban vandalism in history"....Gord McCawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16320751032661054498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343608.post-87687032683214231442008-05-01T07:07:00.000-05:002008-05-01T07:07:00.000-05:00I love mechanical pencils because they never need ...I love mechanical pencils because they never need sharpening.
