So what's next? A video on proper dinner table etiquette?

You got it Nicole. And perhaps you need it as well? That's okay. Don't feel bad Nicole. Did you know over 75% of the population does not know or practice good table manners?

Here is a classic piece of celluloid ephemera. Produced by the infamous Coronet Instructional Films company. Coronet was prolific in producing some of the finest educational films out there! Most of Coronet's films are actually very entertaining. Pass the popcorn please .. and oh yeah, with a napkin so I can wipe my mouth in the correct manner.

GOOD TABLE MANNERS (1951) - Coronet Instructional Media

Chuck, a young loner, is invited by a neighbor to a dinner party, but turns it down. He finds himself visited by "Chuck of the future"--himself at age 21. "Chuck of the future" knows the reason the current Chuck doesn't want to go to the party--he's embarrassed over his poor table manners. "Chuck of the future" decides to give "Chuck of the present" some tips on proper table etiquette.

Finally, no more wasted hours sitting at the dinner table, wondering how I'm supposed to hold my dinner fork. Thanks, "Chuck of the future!" Now I can eat with confidence!

Our early feature today is the infamous "Tales Of Tomorrow" episode featuring Lon Chaney Jr. The name of this episode is simply 'Frankenstein'. This is the infamous episode where Lon is either drunk, or as some Chaney defenders would have it, just unaware that the performance was NOT a rehearsal and was actually taping. It's most likely a combination of both.

    Herr General: Last week I had to attend an in-service workshop and part of the lecture included was workplace safety; we had to watch an old video entitled "It's A Jungle Out There"--which I found amusing and, unfortunately, found myself laughing out loud at inappropriate moments . Anyway, I thought what if there was a workplace safety film for horror film lab assistants? What triggered this thought were two key phrases from this most educational film "contact stress" and "poor posture".
    Think about it---I'm sure some of the more video talented members could whip up something.
