Ray Park b. 1974 (X-Men, Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Heroes)
Aaron Douglas b. 1971 (Battlestar Galactica, Eureka, I, Robot)
Barbara Eden b. 1931 (I Dream of Jeannie, The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao)
Purists may complain that I Dream of Jeannie and even The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao have no place on a science fiction blog.
Personally, I hope purists like that will not notice, still too upset with yesterday's news that Ben Affleck will be Batman.
Many happy returns of the day to all our actors.
Prediction: August 23, 2000: A massive earthquake hits Southern California, turning an area from Malibu to Anaheim into an island
Predictor: Escape From L.A. released 8/9/1996
Reality: The original Escape From New York put the action sixteen years in the future, released in 1981 about the hellish days to come in 1997. This 1996 puts the bleak cityscape seventeen years in the future, but the prediction of a massive earthquake only four years forward. And of course, you need some disaster to turn L.A. into an island, or escape is not a difficult feat requiring the hiring of Snake Plissken.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
What will we be wearing in the year 2000! Bold designers from 1939 show us the way.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!

ReplyDeleteIt better be metallic jumpsuits.
The Seven Faces of Dr. Lao used to scare the hell out of me as a kid.
ReplyDeleteI loved it.
I remember seeing parts of it on cable as an adult. The thing that confused me completely as a kid was Ms. Eden getting all sexysexy when Pan played the flute. She backed herself up against a wall and started panting. I had absolutely no context for any of it.
DeleteThe picture you chose of Ms. Eden will also go a long way toward making the purists not notice...
ReplyDeleteI like this picture because neither the cleavage or the non-existent navel distract from her gorgeous face.
DeleteNot that I am in any way opposed to top rated cleavage or midriffs, both of which Ms. Eden possessed.
No, not opposed. No, indeedy.
Just wanted to make that clear.
ditto on the comments about her face, especially the way she has her eyes done....
DeleteFuture news from the past, Prof.
ReplyDeleteMercutio is playing Batman in MoS Part Deux. I don't see a problem there.
ReplyDeleteOf course, I don't see a problem with the picture, either.
