Man from Atlantis has Victor Buono in it as a reoccurring bad guy which is fun. Another decent short lived show was David McCallum's Invisible Man. Airwolf was a Saturday show. I remember it as being dull but for certain age brackets it probably was a good sat show. Now...who remembers the Phoenix with Judson Scott from 1982? Supertrain? The Fantastic Journey...? The TV movie The Girl, The Goldwatch and Everything from 1980?

For cult fans, Dave Made a Maze shows promise:

'Salem's Lot isn't really about Vampires hiding in a New England town, to be fair, its about how a vampire comes into a town and slowly takes it over. Pretty exciting stuff IMO, and creepy in a number of places. I'd rank it with the best of his novels I've read. Never read Cujo, though, as it it seemed to be a message book about vaccinating animals wrapped up with some scares of a being preyed upon by an animal and the usual King look at small town characters / life and that just didn't appeal to me.

The new IT film is only the kids story from the book; the story of the adults will not be told in this film. In a way its probably the best way to pare the novel down for a singular film.

Watched the Dark Tower over the weekend. Truth in Advertising, I had an unrevised version of the Gunslinger (from 1988) and was never able to get into it so never really paid much attention to the Dark Tower other than reading musings about how all of King's other work fit in. Its sort of a throwback action film; classical structure, classical story beats. Its not a ground breaking spectacle (which, for fans, may be enough to break the film for their enjoyment) but I thought it was a film that succeeded at its mild ambitions.

Haruo Nakajima - Godzilla suit actor for films Godzilla to Godzilla vs Gigan has passed at 88. He was one of two actors to play the role in the original film but as I understand it became the main actor in the role for the subsequent films while the second actor, Katsumi Tezuka, took other monster parts (like Angiurus) although in King Kong vs Godzilla, Nakajima essayed King Kong to Tezuka's Godzilla. http://variety.com/2017/film/news/godzilla-suit-haruo-nakajima-dead-dies-1202517648/

I'm not really sold on Bruce Willis as Dr. Kersey. He seems like an action hero. Admittedly Charles Bronson had a similar problem with respect to the original adaption being a classical cowboy type but, imo, to a lesser degree. The original book is - from what I've read about it as I've not read them - not really about action or cathartic/exploitative violence but hopelessness and desperation. The first Bronson film gets a bit of that, the later films not so much. (Can't speak to the Kevin Bacon led, James Wan directed adaption of the second book DEATH SENTENCE).

RIP Mr Gaspur. There's a crowd funding sort of thing to help his wife/son out, if anyone is interested.

It may be his finest hour, but what about the other 29 minutes of the film? Its a fun film if you don't get too distracted by Moore's mustache.

Have you emailed support@obsidian.net with the issue?

Did the character who didn't get the card feat complete all of the sections up to the card feat? Or did they get 'killed' in one of the earlier scenarios?

He was in the 1979 PBS adaption of The Scarlet Letter as Arthur Dimsdale (Meg Foster was Hester Prynne) which is my first encounter with him as an actor that I can recall. Saw him in many things over the years though, (Cat People, C.H.U.D., and a number of TV guest appearances like Law and Order: SVU, CSI: Miami, The Equalizer and Miami Vice off the top of my head)

DeHann is 31. I liked the film, but I do think that Valerian's character doesn't seem to quite work. Not really sure its a casting problem a conceptual problem within the script itself.

Ready Player One:

She's probably been the most popular "___ Marvel" at Marvel for some time. About time she got the promotion. It really seemed like the only reason Marvel had the previous Captain Marvels was to keep DC from using it for Shazam Every so often the comic companies will trot charters out to renew trademarks. That said none of the replacements have sold greatly, but Carol has a strong core following

Arguably Dutch Engstrom in The Wild Bunch, assuming there's no more definitive earlier example. Didn't stick as it was a stunt. Spider-Man is still Peter Parker. Ultimate Spider-Man (a different continuity) was Miles Morales who took over after that universe's Peter Parker died (and who is now in the regular Marvel U post the destruction of the Ultimate Universe). Note that Doc Ock was Peter Parker as Spider-Man for about two years, so these kind of soap-opera drama changes are par for the course for modern comics. IIRC there's a myth story where Loki turns Thor into a woman temporarily; also the alternate history of the Earth X stories had Thor being turned to a woman by Odin, both pre-dating Jane Foster-Thor. Captain Marvel was made a woman when Monica Rambeau took the name over in 1982. Its passed between men and women (including the original Captain Marvel's genetic son and daughter and a Skrull impersonator) until Carol "formerly Ms. Marvel" Danvers took the title. And as mentioned John Nathan-Turner teased casting a woman since he took over the show, and series producer/former head of the BBC Sydney Newman suggested that casting during the "cancellation crisis" during Colin Baker's tenure. It was more an inevitability than a possibility, I think.

I loved the ending, I just wish a sequel could have been made that took off straight from there. The problem with the end (and otherwise I think the Burton POTA is a fine film) is there is literally no explanation for how time got changed on Earth when they're not on Earth for most of the film. A twist end like that has to have some foundation in the film and as many times as I've watched it, there wasn't one.

What was that one Pompeii guy up to? (Warning, somewhat mature and juvenile content) http://metro.co.uk/2017/07/04/is-this-pompeii-victim-really-having-one-last-bash-scientists-have-their-say-6754791/

More importantly, how much dps do I get for dual wielding monitors? ... I'll get me coat.

Having been around for a couple of big patches, it also seems that major updates occasionally will have some new code that unintentionally nullifies fixes for old bugs. I think more than once I've seen reports of bugs returning that way.

I've also found a platter of a variety of cheeses and crackers can also work in a pinch.

Stan's health hasn't been great the past few years, anyhow. So there was already worry.

Actor Skip Homeier passed away June 25th. He was in a number of movies (The Gunfighters with Gregory Peck and the 1954 noir film Cry Vengence, for example) and he was on TV often (he played the Judge in the 1976 TV-Movie adaption of Bugliosi's Helter Skelter, was in Mission: Impossible, Alfred Hitch**** Presents, and a lot of the late 50s westerns like The Rifleman). For sci-fi fans he may be best remembered for two roles on Star Trek, Melakon in "Patterns of Force" and Dr. Severin in "The Way to Eden" http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/skip-homeier-dead-tomorrow-world-star-trek-actor-was-86-1018507 Not quite a celebrity in her own right, but well known none-the-less, Joan Lee, wife of Stan Lee has also passed away. She was also an author of one published book, The Pleasure Palace: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/joan-lee-dead-wife-marvel-comics-legend-stan-lee-was-95-1018951

I understand what you mean, but for me TNG lacked kind of the explorer's adventure element that responded for me watching TOS as a kid. A friend who was also dissatisfied with it at the time described it as "The Enterprise Taxi Cab Service" which might be a tad unfair but I understood what he meant - a lot of episode set ups were "take person A to place B and complications ensue". That doesn't mean it was bad, but after a rough start and a few years of being regular viewing I kind of lost interest so large parts of the later seasons I may have only seen an episode or two.
