Info 18 - High-res images - gadgets

For those who haven't noticed, I've  added new higher res pics as a slideshow of "De Tuin". I also tried some gadgets at the bottom (Pagerank/week, added popular posts/week and expanded popular alltime posts to 10 including thumbnails. It's interesting, also for me, how even the alltime posts sometimes changes within a day. Also good for new visitors.

I also thinking of adding more hi-res images or even videos especially for rare films/series that aren't available on the web. But  I fear to get into trouble and that this blog could be deleted. Some video and broadcasting companies seem to be very strict, eg. there are not even trailers for Disney films. Any suggestions?

I thought for add votings, but I only saw one multiple choice gadget. And I don't think that I should add this. What should I ask? Do you like men or women? Light or dark bibs? Tight or baggy ones? That's all a matter of taste. And everything could better told by commenting. Any suggestions?

Everything That Rises

TV drama of a ranch boy starring/directed by Dennis Quaid
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: 1990s?
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: unknown boy ~6ys
-Available on DVD: VCD and VHS only?
-I own: yes, TV recording
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  7/10
-Rating: *******
-Comment: Ryan Merriman as Nathan ~14 ys (image left) didn't wear bibs but good standard jeans. This is my favourite ranch movie and I planned a posting for non-bib farm and ranch films. But I found a young boy in blue bibs at the last minutes of this film (image right). Plot: After the second accident, Nathan has to use a wheelchair but he didn't give up. This is a touching and good family film also featuring some shirtless scenes, riding and rodeo scenes and a scene in a bathtub without water where he slides and his mother helped him. I also like ranch films, but most (modern) films are without bibs. Perhaps because it's not good riding in bibs than in stretch jeans. Sometimes ranching and farming is mixed and at least the youngest family members or girls/woman could wear bibs. I also like these cowboy hats. Although this short bib scene, I rate 7 because of this good film.

Hallo, Onkel Doc!

German TV series about a children's doctor. 81 episodes in 6 seasons
-Year: 1994-2000
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: Germany
-Who in bibs: boy Frankie ~1, others
-Available on DVD: Season 1 only
-I own: no, party TV recordings
-Bib occurrence: low *
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Stephen Borski in dark blue bibs (pictured). Season 5, episode 2 (1998): Die Zeitbombe. The boy had swallowed rusty nails and went to the doctor at the hospital. Bibs are opend while lying/sitting shirtless. Also showing the edge of his underwear (red shorts). I believe that there must be scenes at the beginning where he swallowed the nails at a construction site but I don't have this. Bibs are a bit too small. I like this series featuring many different kids and some touching and exciting scenes. Perhaps there are more in bibs, I have to investigate this further. Most patients are much younger. I assume few bib scenes for this episode and whole series.
Update and larger pic

Rating ~5. Also 2 other episodes, rating 7 for s6e10

Info 17: commenting now for all

From now on everyone, including without Google account and also anonymous users can now leave a comment which will directly be shown under a posting. I will still check before publication. Please clean comments.

I first thought that almost everyone has a Google or YouTube account but there were only 2 persons yet. So please comment here or at the film postings, if you have suggestions, questions, more infos (eg bib style, brand or other scenes/actors) or found a mistake. Especially if you know some good films.

I also consider to add some kind of votings or other additions as there are now more readers. But I will post that.

I searched my old tapes and found some good films, that I partly had posted and will continue the next days. I also have updated the following recently (including images):

Too Young the Hero, Huckleberry Finn and His Friends, Lassie, LHOTP. And before that Grapes of Wrath, Los olvidados, The Waltons season 8 and The War.

I will also add more general images of De Tuin.

De Tuin (Villa Achterwerk)

Belgian TV series inside Dutch matinee Villa Achterwerk. Unknown number of episodes
-Year: ~1993
-Year in film: 1990s
-Country: Belgium ?
-Who in bibs: boy Anton ~13
-Available on DVD: no
-I own: no, party TV recording
-Bib occurrence: medium ?
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: A boy in light blue rare bibs (pictured). Zipper till neck. Perhaps these were coveralls with sleeves removed. Looks like thin (cotton) fabric. This seems to be a very rare and weird series. De Tuin (Dutch for The garden). Episode 4: Geesten (ghosts). I couldn't find any infos on the web. Not on IMDb not on official Villa Achterwerk or other Dutch TV sites or Google. First I didn't know if this is a short film or a series or an experimental film or a film made by kids or a documentary. I watched the presentation again on my tape, which was done by 2 kids (from Rotterdam? which were at the studio) and this is about kids living on a backyard without grown ups. Weird scenes, kids are playing. Have to take care about a baby, (dead) birds, one is playing piano, one girl is inside a small refrigerator which is also outside. An Asian boy is playing with a handheld and watching (or is this a remote for ghosts?). All this doesn't make sense. I have to ask some Dutch people about this. Villa Achterwerk is a long running kids show on Sunday with Dutch and foreign series, films and other things. There are some DVDs but I don't think that this is thereon. One episode is about 17 minutes. And I think that there are possibly 6 or even 12 episodes. About 12 kids, main character is a boy I think. Dutch Wikipedia leads to a different radio drama. If someone knows more about this series or names of actors or director or knows this bib style or has something else to say, please comment.

Edit: In the following slideshow there are some images to illustrate some scenes and actors of this show. The kid in black shirt who looked through the wooden hole is a boy (?) and may be the main character.

Edit 2: Now I have digitized the complete episode and watched it on TV. I'm not an language expert but I now think that this is a Belgian series or some kids are Belgian. And the kid in the black shirt is rather a boy. It's possible according to the presentation, that there are on each episode different main actors and tells his adventure. This is about good and bad ghosts. I don't understand everything but it looks still weird without a strict plot, except that this backyard is forbidden for grown ups. Some supernatural scenes with strange music (a cola bottle falls from a table, a girl is locked and the chain at the garden fence locks itself. The boy in bibs takes care of a dove, it died and the boy hits himself mutiple times on his cheeks while standing on a car. The boy at the piano sings a French song. It's still unclear, if the kids were forced to act alone there and had to take care for the baby and bird. Aired ~1993, but could also be produces much earlier.

Update: Confirmed Belgian. Slideshow from the previous Picasa albums don't work anymore on Google+, so I made on here. I uploaded a vid in 2024.

A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries

Drama starring Kris Kristofferson
-Year: 1998
-Year in film: 1970s? (bib)
-Country: F/GB/USA
-Who in bibs: boy Stephane ~ 11ys
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no, party TV recording
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: Frédéric Da (pictured) in dark blue non jeans bibs (looks like mechanical bibs, backside with suspenders only) and sleeveless shirt underneath. Rated R (restricted) for language. This film is about a French family who went to the USA and later back to France. And divided into 3 chapters showing childhood, teen and grown up. Novel by Kaylie Jones. I recorded this movie, but have only one scene left. I don't know, if I could describe this scene here without a blogger disclaimer. The Frech boy is alone on a tree house with the younger US girl but she ran away. I am also not sure if the German dubbing is exactly like the original. Perhaps I have to search for subtitles or even buy this book. I assume few bib scenes but this is an interesting scene. I read the English subtitles but couldn't find this scene. At some scenes it reads "French speaking". Or this scene was removed.

Six Pack (1982)

Country/Comedy/Drama/Racing film starring Kenny Rogers
-Year: 1982
-Year in film: 1982
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: boy ~ 15
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no
-Bib occurence: medium
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: A fat boy in blue bibs (pictured left, I don't know his real name, must be Tom Abernathy) and later all 6 orphan boys in coveralls (picture right). I saw most parts of this movie. I like country themed films and country music but not especially racing or sport films. I also don't like big fat boys, but I kinda like this film and setting. Some funny scenes and some fighting scenes. Also starring young Anthony Michael Hall (National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), Weird Science (1985)). Rating 5 because of this good film.

Adding tag teen boys. 

The Flying Doctors (1986)

Australian Drama TV series 221 episodes in 9 seasons
-Year: 1986-1991
-Year in film: 1980s?
-Country: Australia
-Who in bibs: boy Alex ~ 11
-Available on DVD: yes
-I own: no, partly TV recording
-Bib occurence: low
-Rating:  5/10
-Rating: *****
-Comment: A boy in beige bibs (pictured, I don't know his real name). Image from Season 5, episode 28 The Last carnival. This is at the end of this episode and I think he wears the belt only then. I found parts of this episode on my old tape, but I saw some episodes in the 1990s. Good family series. Typical Australian. There are also other films and series with the Flying Doctors. Medium bib scenes in this episode and I guess few scenes in the series. Good plot with this orphan boy and his grandmother at a funfair. In between scenes at a hospital and of course the plane and the Australian country. I like this exiting and touching series, but prefer US farm films with blue jeans bibs.

Sounder (1972)

Film about a boy of the Great Depression, nominated for 4 Oscars
-Year: 1972
-Year in film: 1933
-Country: USA
-Who in bibs: David Lee ~ 12, other boys, men
-Available on DVD: yes  
-I own: no
-Bib occurrence: often
-Rating:  6/10
-Rating: ******
-Comment: Kevin Hooks in white bibs (pictured left, sometimes shirtless). Also his father shirtless in blue bibs, and some other school boys (first white boys (short scene, pictured right), later at another school afro-american boys). His mother helped him getting fixed one suspender. Another sharecropper movie. This one ranks Top 3 at IMDb. Novel by William H. Armstrong (Newbery Medal). I saw most parts of this film and this is good plot and view of rural Louisiana of the 1930s. There is also Sounder Part 2 (1976), I think with (partly) the same actors and a Disney TV remake of 2003. I don't know the other films because there are few infos of Disney films. But all are with bibs. There is also a related movie called A Hero Ain't Nothin' But a Sandwich. Sounder is the name of his dog, but I didn't noticed it. Perhaps I should watch the whole movie at slow speed or even read this book.
