Fun facts I learned today in research.
1) Hans Zimmer was in The Buggles.
2) Freddie Jones is not Aubrey Morris. As they have gotten older, I have a heck of a time telling them apart. Also, both are still alive, born in 1927 and 1926 respectively. Good on ya, fellas.
3) It feels like a lot of the cast from Northern Exposure kind of faded away after the show was through. In the case of Darren E. Burrows who played Ed Chigliak, it feels that way because it is that way. He never got a role as good as that before or since.
As for the Picture Slot choice, I do have a fondness for Game of Thrones. Next year, I'm not sure what I'll do.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: In 2020, the first manned craft lands on Mars.
Reality: Of course, (spoiler alert), most movies taking place in outer space include contact with extraterrestrials, and this one does as well. The prediction part is interplanetary travel by 2020 and while it's still six years away, if someone gave me an even money bet, I'd be glad to wager that we will not have a person set foot on Mars by then. In the movie's favor, 2020 is one of the years when the Earth and Mars are on the same side of the sun. This happens about every 25 or 26 months.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Yet another prediction from 1893, complete with awesome facial hair.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Addenda:
ReplyDeleteFreddie Jones played The Earl in "Neverwhere".
Paul Walker was in the execrable "Timeline".
My vote for next year is Joe Pantoliano who, if not at true star level, is at least at "Hey, it's Abe Vigoda" level.
The changes have been made.
DeleteThe front runners next year are Joey Pants (his nickname on The Sopranos set and possibly elsewhere), Ian Holm and maybe a Milo Manara illustration if I'm in a dirty old man mood.
Ian Holm would be my choice. But I'm not the decider here.
