The list is short today and iconic genre roles are at a minimum. We have a weird dichotomy with the dead, Gloria Stuart living to be one hundred and Eric Fleming and Stephen Boyd both dying before they were fifty. I chose this picture of Boyd in his package forward jumpsuit from Fantastic Voyage, doing what I remember him most for in this film, leering at Raquel Welch. To be fair, I spent most of the movie leering at Raquel Welch as well, but I wasn't on camera.
Many happy returns to the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: Atlantis will rise again, in 1968 or 1969, near Bimini
Reality: Welcome our new Friday regular, Edgar Cayce! No, he really doesn't count as "science fiction", but regular readers will know all I really want are predictions with dates on them that can be confirmed or disproven. You might think he is going to stink the place out, and this first one is crap, but let me say this for him.
He's better than Ray Kurzweil, though his supporters are just as blind to his faults.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
1893 beckons once more.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Does Titanic not count as genre? It is an alternative history of sorts.
ReplyDeleteNo, I can't count Titanic.
