10 March 2013


Birthdays
Olivia Wilde b. 1984
Jon Hamm b. 1971
Scott Frank b. 1960 (writer, Minority Report)

That's a whole lot of pretty for one day. I use the 1st Rule of Heterosexual Male Blogging and go with Ms. Wilde over Mr. Hamm, using a picture of her from her best known genre film, Tron Legacy. A lot of other pictures of her from that film are in the pose I call "Are you staring at my butt, and if not, why not?", so I will use this more modest photo accenting her pretty face and punky haircut.  
 

Prediction: 2007: World War IV is fought with nuclear weapons; it lasts five days.

Predictor: Harlan Ellison from A Boy and his Dog, 1969

Reality: Of course, this is all just prelude to the post apocalyptic hellscape that Don Johnson (yes, that Don Johnson) and his very clever pup have to survive. The story was written in 1969, the movie came out in 1975.

Note: For a long haired dog in a post-apocalyptic desert hellscape, he is very well groomed. Just sayin'.

Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE! It is once again the turn for the OMNI Future Almanac, which is my second favorite source material after the inimitable John Elfreth Watkins.

Join me then... IN THE FUTURE!

  1. I love that movie. Don Johnson at his acting high point, and still upstaged by a pooch.

    The ending is funny as hell, too.
