11 November 2013

 Birthdays
Connor Price b. 1994 (Alphas, Carrie)
Leonardo Di Caprio b. 1974 (Inception)
Demi Moore b. 1962 (Ghost)
Stanley Tucci b. 1960 (The Hunger Games, Captain America)
Vincent Schiavelli b. 1948 died 26 December 2005 (Buffy, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Batman Returns, The X-Files, Buckaroo Banzai, Ghost)
Jonathan Winters b. 1925 died 11 April 2013 (Twilight Zone, Mork and Mindy)
John Guillermin b. 1925 (director, King Kong, King Kong Lives)
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. b. 1922 died 11 April 2007 (Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, Cat's Cradle, The Sirens of Titan)
Stubby Kaye b. 1918 died 14 December 1997 (Doctor Who, Who Framed Roger Rabbit)

The Picture Slot choice was pretty easy today. As much as I love the work of Jonathan Winters, Stubby Kaye and Stanley Tucci, as big a movie star as Leonardo Di Caprio is, as pretty as Demi Moore is, the blog is still called This Day In Science Fiction and Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. is the boss here.

I might switch up my decision next year, but right now I'm thinking I won't.

Many happy returns to all the living on the list.

Immortals, released 2011


In the Year 2000!
 
Prediction: Americans will be working a 20 hour work week with seven weeks vacation

Predictor: A 1965 Senate subcommittee, according to the website Mental Floss.

Reality: OMG! America has become France!

Well... as much fun as it is to bash the French, this is the sort of prediction that made sense when labor unions actually held some power in the country.

And, just maybe, they might have cribbed their notes from The Jetsons a little bit.
