George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[yumyumtree]

Just to correct myself on a couple of things:

The hotel is called Hotel Vintage Park, not Vantage.

David Hendricks had two stepdaughters with one if his subsequent wives, but evidently no biological children after the ones who were murdered. He was acquitted in a retrial in 1991.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

Guest: "Its rare to see someone come into a house and kill everybody."
George: "It sure is!"

George is a little too excited about this subject. Talking about sex, love, and the propagation of the human species by means not alien abduction he stops right away.

He seems even more fascinated by the fact that they "weren't convicted!" which worries me, and I think someone needs to check his basement.

I just had the exact same thought. And then he launched into the Lizzie Borden poem. I hope Pistor was being sarcastic when he said "Nice reading". Facepalm time.

Dude, I'll turn that haunted murder-house into a home... lemme have it!   

The supposedly haunted Market Street Cinema in San Francisco is going to be turned into condos. Its on the National Register of Historic Places and was a movie theatre at one time & is over 100 years old. One of the last remaining theatres on Market Street, the others being the Warfield and the Crazy Horse which is now a strip club. It will be interesting to see if the 4 ghosts who haunt the premises will continue to haunt the new condos once approval is given to convert the place. I would hope they can replace the old sewer lines which continually overflowed in the theatre's basement and which buried an employee who died in the basement in sewage after he died after overdosing on drugs.
The show ghost adventures did a show on the theater being haunted by 2 strippers who died there and 2 employees as well.

I posted about it on another site. Here's the post :

Have been watching on Comcast Travel-W Channel 71 and paranormal and ghost investigators have been investigating reports of the theater being haunted. A former employee who was addicted to meth, died in the basement and his body was covered in 4-6 feet of raw sewage and it got stuck to the floor when the sewer line broke. The guy's spirit supposedly used to come up and watch the dancers and would attack male customers in the theater. His name was Gary. - Another guy named James who also worked there lived in the theater as well. Both guys like the dancers. One girl living in the theater woke up one day to see a floating head with cuts all over it.

They say the theater is now abandoned and they will be re-running it tonight on Comcast Bay Area at midnight. While earlier, they will be investigating the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas where the spirit of Frank Sinatra is said to haunt the place.

By the way, if the place were still open, it turned 100 this year.

So did Noory just bitch about having to give money to his struggling family members? How embarrassing it must be to be related to that guy.

[Falkie2013]

And his basement shop and backyard. Use luminol on any axes you might find as well.

Hmm, he keeps making all these trips to and from St. Louis. Any unsolved ax murders during the times he's travelling and says he's out of contact with email and presumably his phone calls as well ?

I can just see the book :

The Travelling Broadcaster

George Noory. Serial Topic Murderer.

Oh, G*d. Noory's going to Denver this weekend to film Bee-yond Buhleaf.
As if anyone is going to watch during a playoff game.

And once again Noory did no homework at all about the subject. There was a program I watched about the Lizzy Borden murders and they did a forensic analysis and proved that she was innocent, though they did bring up a mystery man who might have done it as well.

They will come out to play when the construction begins.     I remember that GA show.
It may or may not be haunted, but, old buildings have a personality, a heart, if you will.  Yes, it will be very interesting to see what happens, even when/if it gets done and people move in.

And then he tops it all off by getting excited about night vision goggles. 
What's next?  Rub the lotion on it's skin?  A briefcase full of thumbs?


C'mon Nooron, is this the image of a "nice guy"?  We see right though your meticulously crafted front.

[Morgus]

Noory just referred to a late-nite mini mart he frequents after the show, he said it was the same place he got the 'infamous' pizza rolls...

[zeebo]

Haha, yeah Jorch has more than his fair share of problems with pronunciation (and I'm not sure blaming his forked tongue has anything to do with this), the other night Jorch was talking about Stalin, it sounded like he was saying stallin'

The other night he had a health story about baiter blockers.

I used to see real movies in there when it was the UA Theatre. The former Regal Theatre that used to show action pictures, and 3 Godzilla pictures for .75 cents later to become a porn theatre and strip club is also being turned into condos.'
There are now complaints in areas of SF that places to live are becoming totally unaffordable due to condo conversions driving rents up.
IF I ever had the money I'd buy up one of the few remaining theatres and turn it back into a movie theatre. Its sad that Market Street once had 54 theatres open and showing films. Now there are none.
I forgot about the Golden Gate Theatre once owned by either RKO or Lowes that shows plays though having to walk down Mason Street to the theatre is scary. The last 2 films I saw there were Battle of the Bulge ( first run ) and the original Longest Yard.

The 2 strangest double bills I ever saw were 2001 and Pretty Poison in a theatre in Pittsburgh and Patton and Mash in a theatre near Serramonte Mall.

Its amazing how many theatres used to be in SF but the last remaining theatres are dying as a new poll says that people want to watch movies at home, don't like ticket prices ( $ 3 goes to the Screen Actors Guild from every ticket ) and don't like the high cost of the food at the snack bar.
I will be going to see the Mr. Peabody movie when it comes out.

Cinema Treasures is  a website that keeps track of theatres and drive ins that are still with us.
Its interesting that Noory is playing Pocketful of Miracles, a hit song for a remake of a Frank Capra that bombed because he chose to do it set in the 1930s.

This is the link to what they turned my first theatre in Pittsburgh into a grocery store, for G*d's sake.

Sweet Jesus, is he selling bitcoins now? Even more disturbing, are people actually calling in to ask his advice?

[UnscreenedCaller]

Snorro!  He had a costume when he was a kid. LOL

[Falkie2013]

And he's talking about bitcoins like he's now an expert when a month ago he barely knew what they were.

Now he's telling all how he had a Zorro outfit and a cap gun. We have something in common. I had a Hoppy gunset and costume and a Roy Rogers set as well. My Mother has a picture of me wearing it somewhere.

I can see it now.

George Noory is $nooro !

In $nooro's Revenge of the Baited Breath !

In his secret identity of Don Diego de la cueva.

It must be working. No mention of bait on his shows of late except for perhaps the blown up whale in Oregon.

I think only the Castro, the new Century Theatre and the Presidio Theatre on Chestnut Street are left. There has been talk of refurbishing the former post theatre in the Presidio as a theatre.

Here's the link for the Presidio Theater on Chestnut as well.

The problem with theatres is that even revival theatres can't get people to go watch the good old stuff. Boris Karloff's daughter held a retrospective awhile back and only 20 people showed up. That theater closed recently due to lack of patronage.

Younger people have NO idea who the great actors were, though once they're introduced to them, some respond postively. One young guy had no idea who Cary Grant was while another told a friend of mine that he had no idea that such insanity existed once HE was introduced to the Marx Brothers, he loved the films and wanted more !

Sadly we do not preserve our architechtural history in the name of progress. Locally here a domed theatre was torn down. It was fading and only 20-30 people were showing up for movies. But locals loved the place. Its now being turned into a Dick's Sporting Goods store. The city wanted the tax revenue they weren't getting from the theatre. The Century Theater across the freeway from it is still going strong but is hurt by Border's and the pizza place across the street closing. There are shops to the left of the theater but none have managed to make it. Pleasant Hill upgraded the area a number of years ago but now one sees multiple vacant storefronts showing up on the 3 block long " downtown ".

http://www.castrotheatre.com/

People do still flock to the Castro theatre which has old stars showing up, including the late Cyd Charisse,     
Carol Lynley (stil alive ) and others. They ran the original Godzilla a few years ago and thank G*d someone on the Board of Supervisors had the sense to ban public nudity on the streets of the city. Idiots were claiming it was their " right " to parade and have lunch in the altogether and we even saw one guy standing outside the Castro stark naked in the mid afternoon. Parents were complaining that they didn't want to have their kids see naked guys out in public. Few women tromped around in the nude on the streets with the possible exception of those sunbathing in the Marina or Presidio.
I was always amused by women who always said they liked to take walks on the beach, yet before the Presidio was turned into a park, there were few women ( or anyone else ) walking along the beaches in the area or across the bay at Baker Beach either. Just too foggy and cold to do so.

[Heather Wade]

Man, that is sad, Falkie.  No theaters on Market at all?   
That is unfuckingbelieveable.  Unacceptable.  Not being sarcastic. 

San Francisco used to be cool.

Parts of it still are. Though much of city is turning into a glass and steel sameness by those with no sense of imagination or history. If the old San Franciscans were to come back they'd burn City Hall to the ground in their outrage as to what's been done to their beloved city in the name of greed and blind progress.

Apparently my theater knowledge is not what it should be. Seems there are around 20 left in a city that used to have hundreds. As an example of another place I used to live, Washington D.C. once had 54 movie theatres. Now there are none but one, the Georgia Theatre, that used to show William Castle films complete with nurses, doctors, ambulances and The Tingler, has been renovated and turned into a house for live plays and events. The former Warner Theatre downtown near the Treasury also is a live theatre house. I saw Goldfinger there and marveled at the sight of a two block long picture of Shirley Eaton covered in gold paint !

[Falkie2013]

And Noory asked one guy for his demo tape of his singing. Is this how he gets his submerging artistes ?

The guy with the story of the 6 CHP cars at the diner and them telling him that 50 people saw the same UFO was interesting.
Time to turn off Noory and see when football is on for the weekend. I have a bedroom to clean up so I can do videos in there with my camera.
And I hate that Somewhere Over The Rainbow guy. Its like being accosted by a guy singing outside Halladie Plaza and you can't escape or one of the street drummers with either bongo drums or a complete snare drum set.

Its sad we're now so bored as to have to listen to Noory. I think its time to go back and listen to podcasts again.

[valdez]

...Tonight's show looks worth staying awake for...

     Nicholas Pistor on the massacre of an entire family in Illinois back in 1874, with an axe and something called a "corn knife."  Tragically fascinating.  When the conversation turned to the case of Lizzie Borden, George recited the children's rhyme and got it wrong ("...and when the job was nicely done, she gave her father forty one").  It’s his world.  Everybody else is whacked out.

Say Falkie, do you remember the Galaxy theater in SF?  I think it was on Van Nuys somewhere.  It wasn't that old but it was unfortunately torn down.  I loved it's look with the glass structure.

I have a much different view Falkie. Seems pointless to continually put down George Noory. After all, he's just an employee. I was listening from start of show Art announced Premier/Clear Channel bought his show broadcast on ~500 stations and immediately noticed a change in Art's original way of interviewing people. It seemed Art had a contract that had much different rules than previously that curbed what made Art interesting to me originally, still enjoyed his views on news and open lines for first hour, but mostly shut off unless a known good guest was going to be on. Over some number of months, the frequency of even turning on the show reduced to very seldom. There was nothing I could do about Art's contract that caused the change. I was happy to hear him again for 6 weeks last year in good spirits and much closer to what the show used to be. After all that's happened in the world and his life, it gave me hope for the future.

The change that you noticed was indeed the buy out of Premiere Radio. They are a right wing, conservative, evil monopoly of radio and they insert shows and show hosts that must adhere to right wing conservative viewpoints and talking points. And fill their airwaves with the typical right wing, conservative advertisers like gold peddlers and crazy prepper food and stuff.

Once Art Bell left, George Snooron was handpicked. Hint: He is a right wing, conservative moron puppet.

There you have it.

[UnscreenedCaller]

I know. I feel the need to take a shower.

George is a penguin with only vestiges of wings. (No offense WR250)  I wish he had a wing, left or right I don't care- something.  How about a right or left testicle? That would be better than a wing.  Wings are for birds and airplanes and as I've said here many boring times, you need both to fly. Otherwise you crash or fly in a circle.  If someone has only one wing of perception (sorry Castaneda) it usually means the other one is in their pants playing pocket pool. I've got two wings by the way, and a tail, to flip off single wingers as I haul ass past them.  Fucking penguins.

[Heather Wade]

For 6 hours.  In bleach.

The last thing I remember is thinking, "It's 11:58 p.m. YES! I'm awake! C2C, ax murderers! Let's do this!"

Then the next thing I knew, I was looking at my iPhone and it was 10:30 a.m.

Oops.

I got this supplement - Phenibut - a friend told me to try it for anxiety. Took it last night. I guess it made me sleep for almost 12 hours straight. Wow. And gosh, I did not feel anxious the whole time!

I did, however, dream I got knocked up by a college sweetheart (who now has schizophrenia â€" not my fault, I swear). When I gave birth to the baby, it was a girl. And also a baby gorilla. People kept trying to be polite about it: "Well, um, that hair is just gorgeous." Meanwhile, throughout the dream everyone kept bringing me yellow roses. And it rained the whole time.

I'm afraid to look it all up in my dream dictionary. It can't be good.

I have some vague memories from when I was a little kid of some older kid in the neighborhood bullying us little kids while dressed up in a Zorro costume with a sword...
