Pink Panther series 8 – Curse of the Pink Panther
Trail of the Pink Panther was inherently a terrible idea, and it didn’t turn out all that well. The movie included a bunch of link footage filmed just for the project, to help link all of the deleted scenes together. … Continue reading
Pink Panther series 7 – Trail of the Pink Panther
I could have talked about Peter Sellers’ death either for the previous movie or this one. There are several reasons why I chose the previous movie. 1, his declining health issues clearly affected his performance in Revenge of the Pink … Continue reading

This blog post was delayed by a couple of days for three reasons. 1, I had an interview for a permanent office position at work that I wanted to be prepared for. 2, this is my first week on the … Continue reading
Pink Panther series 2 – A Shot in the Dark
