Notes from the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. In previous years, we had the two birthday boys from Big Bang Theory and Gal Gadot, the actress who will be Wonder Woman in several films over the next few years. If I want to stay with 21st Century stuff, Adrian Pasdar in Heroes or Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. would count as iconic, but I decided to go old school with the great Cloris Leachman as Frau Blucher.
Wait... was that a horse?
2. Spot the Canadians! No way to spot David Manners as a Canadian, but he was. It's not obvious that Paul Gross and Drew Seeley were born north of the border, but they were, too.
3. I'm used to it, I don't have to like it. When I clicked on Jill Clayburgh's page on imdb.com today, I remembered she had died, but it was a shock five years ago and it still makes me sad.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Prediction: In 2012, a Dalek is reawakened in a bunker in Utah and kills 200 people before the Doctor is able to deactivate it.
Reality: There were a lot of Doctor Who episodes that were set in the not too distant future, which for people like us moving in time in our boring linear way is now the not too distant past.
Still no Daleks, so we've got that going for us.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
A new month, a new splash photo, and the regular prediction schedule is interrupted for a stunning tale of suspended animation.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Kirsten Dunst first came to my attention in "Interview with a Vampire." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110148/ Didn't much care for the film, but she impressed the heck out of me. Dunno if you consider it genre, though.
ReplyDeleteAlso, no Daleks we've been *told* about.
I definitely count vampire movies. I just zoned out. It has been added and thanks.
DeleteLighting a candle in memory of Jill Clayburgh who left us all too soon.
ReplyDeleteThere are times when someone dies young but we've been given some warning. No warning with Ms. Clayburgh.
DeleteI dont think Gary Collins is in King Kong v Godzilla...
