37 of 37 · most liked firstWhen people keep advising victims not to pay ransom because threat actors can't be trusted to really delete all the data, my inner researcher kicks in and wants to know how often that really happens. So I started sending out inquiries. Now you might think that those who publicly and repeatedly urge journalists to "spread the word" not to pay would respond and share some of their experiences with untrustworthy threat actors, but no..... they didn't even respond. Read about the replies I did get,…

neutral · AI labelView post →Checked on top American movies of 1996 and noted that Ron Howard had a top 10 film, RANSOM, starring Mel Gibson, and I'm certain I've never heard anyone refer to it ever. Like an Ozymandias of shit, forgotbusters.
negative · AI labelView post →And now, on Universal Crime, the second #Columbo TV movie (the official pilot episode), "Ransom for a Dead Man". The biggest mystery for me is how little Lee Grant wrestled her husband's body in and out of the trunk by herself. :-) acolumboblog.blogspot.com/2021/06/rans...

The booklet includes two essays from me, a general one on the film & another the popularity of the airplane hijack film in the 1970s.

neutral · AI labelView post →The first Falk Columbo was a TV movie "Prescription: Murder". There's a second TV movie, "Ransom for a Dead Man". Then the regular series begins as part of the NBC Mystery Movie show. The first of those, "Murder by the Book" was directed by Spielberg (so 3rd episode overall).
neutral · AI labelView post →You should read or see O’Henry’s Ransom of Red Chief (the film short features Fred Allen). Two men kidnap an adolescent boy to hold for ransom: the kid is such a terror, they pay to give him back. The patents’ deadpan reaction as they view the kidnapping is priceless. They know they’ll get him back.

neutral · AI labelView post →Now watching: ’A Queen's Ransom’, dir. Ting Shan-hsi, 1976. George Lazenby plays an Irish republican terrorist plotting to assassinate Queen Elizabeth II on her visit to Hong Kong. 🎥🎬
neutral · AI labelView post →ever since I first saw the trailer for this it's been nagging at me like a hangnail because my brain really thinks that there's a clever way to describe this film and "The Ransom of REDRUM" only gets like 60% of the way there
neutral · AI labelView post →If you've never seen the movie "Ransom", it's the rich guy who turns the ransom money for his stolen son into reward money to catch the criminals. "Well, then God be with you, 'cause nobody else on this Earth will be." www.youtube.com/shorts/4rnTC...
neutral · AI labelView post →ONE HUNDRED WORD REVIEW: "High and Low" (1963 film) Directed by Akira Kurosawa, this loose adaptation of Evan Hunter’s 1959 novel “King’s Ransom” is often considered one of his best works. #writing #film
neutral · AI labelView post →Ransom for a Dead Man (1971) Second Columbo pilot film, even better than the last.
positive · AI labelView post →Time for movie #2. Ransom For A Dead Man. #Columbo #OneMoreThing
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait so the new Netflix movie ANIMALS is basically another remake of Kurosawa’s HIGH AND LOW, a year after that awful Spike Lee remake, even though this newest remake doesn’t mention the Ed McBain novel “King’s Ransom” as the source material??
neutral · AI labelView post →So Ransom for a dead Man was a movie like Prescription Murder?
neutral · AI labelView post →It would hold this record for five years until it was taken by Ice Age in 2002.[14] At the time of its opening, Liar Liar had the second-highest opening weekend for an Imagine Entertainment film, behind Ransom.[12]
neutral · AI labelView post →The TV Movie "Prescription: Murder" debuted in 1968. The follow up "Ransom for a Dead Man" aired in 1971. The TV series was part of the 1971 NBC Mystery Movies. A rotation between the TV series MacMillan & Wife, McCloud, and later Hec Ramsey. An entire year of Columbo could amount to just 5 shows.
neutral · AI labelView post →Wait, there is money in this?! Seriously though, I got into this for the later aspect and the enjoyment of sharing cool stuff you find along the way. That I find myself feeling like Ransom Stoddard is not overly comforting, to pull from a much better Jimmy Stewart movie! youtu.be/363ZAmQEA84?...

neutral · AI labelView post →Great movie. Ransom of Red Chief is my favorite segment.
positive · AI labelView post →You brought up Ransom but are there similarities to the movie High and Low and the remake Highest 2 Lowest or the limited series Full Circle?
neutral · AI labelView post →Ransom for a dead man wasnt series 2, was 2nd pilot/TV film
neutral · AI labelView post →Today in 1971 Columbo, starring Peter Falk, debuted NBC as one of the rotating programs of The NBC Mystery Movie. Peter Falk had earlier played Lt. Columbo in the 1968 TV movie Prescription Murder and the 1971 pilot movie Ransom for a Dead Man.

Written and directed by the prolific Shan-Hsi Ting (The Queen's Ransom) and featuring a wild range of cinematography from Chris Chen Ching-Chu (Fist of Fury), the film features Dean Shek (Drunken Master), Lai Wang (Centipede Horror), Henry Yu Yang
neutral · AI labelView post →Some people refer to the episodes by different numbers. Technically Prescription Murder was a separate TV movie. Ransom for a Dead Man was the series pilot. Murder by the Book was S1 E1. But not everybody refers to it that way.
neutral · AI labelView post →You know what would be a good Star Trek novel to be adapted for the Lower Deck movie (though admittingly, i imagine the crew more shock Ransom actually has an ex). "People don't question when Kirk or Picard ex pop up, but when its one of mine, it's an anomaly." Ransom muttered, annoyed.

unlabelledView post →That's his own suit, not from the costumer. That Spanish raincoat he wore the rest of the run didn't show up until the next "Columbo" TV movie/pilot "Ransom for a Dead Man" in 1971. The raincoat was also his.
unlabelledView post →All the voice actors look like their cartoon characters... Or vice versa. A live action Lower Decks with Captain Ransom at the helm would be a mind boggling movie! 😂
unlabelledView post →This is obviously a spoiler for anyone who hasn't seen the film: for me the big reveal was that Ransom was the hidden conspirator. But pulling him away from the family, tonally and physically like that, made him stand out so much that I called it almost as soon as it happened.
unlabelledView post →Everything else in Blanc’s rant at the end of the movie is really pure speculation. He outlines how the evening went but not with clues. Pure inference. And then Ransom is tricked into admitting the crimes. For all the praise the film received, and I thought it was fun…
