So, what is that like seven or eight brains now, about like the US ?

Sorry, just couldn't resist.

I think this is the movie, The Brain That Wouldn't Die (1962)

 
"A Little Head, Any One?,"
11 June 2007

"The story, of course, concerns a doctor who is an eager experimenter in transplanting limbs--and when his girl friend is killed in a car crash he rushes her head to his secret lab. With the aid of a few telephone cords, a couple of clamps, and what looks very like a shallow baking pan, he brings her head back to life. But is she grateful? Not hardly. In fact, she seems mightily ticked off about the whole thing, particularly when it transpires that the doctor plans to attach her head to another body.

As it happens, the doctor is picky about this new body: he wants one built for speed, and he takes to cruising disconcerted women on city sidewalks, haunting strip joints, visiting body beautiful contests, and hunting down cheesecake models in search of endowments that will raise his eyebrow. But back at the lab, the head has developed a chemically-induced psychic link with another one of the doctor's experiments, this one so hideous that it is kept locked out of sight in a handy laboratory closet. Can they work together to get rid of the bitter and malicious lab assistance, wreck revenge upon the doctor, and save the woman whose body he hankers for? Could be! Leading man Jason Evers plays the roguish doctor as if he's been given a massive dose of Spanish fly; Virginia Leith, the unhappy head, screeches and cackles in spite of the fact that she has no lungs and maybe not even any vocal chords. Busty babes gyrate to incredibly tawdry music, actors make irrational character changes from line to line, the dialogue is even more nonsensical than the plot, and you'll need a calculator to add up the continuity goofs. On the whole THE BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE comes off as even more unintentionally funny than an Ed Wood movie."

I read that the other day! How amazing after all this time it's somewhat remained intact. I was even more surprised to read that older brains than that existed as well. Very good article.

Ah hah! I keep thinking of an old black and white sci-fi movie, late 1950's or so, that had brain in a tank with a bunch of hoses attached and bubble gurgling in the water. The brain was evil and was plotting all sorts of deaths and tragedies. Anyone remember how the brain communicated or the name of this movie?



So it wasn't 'The Life and Times of a Tabloid Journalist'?
