Notes from the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. In previous years, the Picture Slot celebrated the fun fact that Peter Cushing is nine years and one day older than his very regular co-star Christopher Lee. This year, not wanting to repeat myself, we have a picture of the actor on the list with the most iconic role in the 21st Century, Helena Bonham Carter as Bellatrix Lestrange.
2. Spot the Canadians! It would be very difficult to guess from her credit list alone that Dayle Haddon was born north of the border. Will Sanderson's credits give away his roots a little more, but he isn't glaringly obvious, either.
3. Wait... they did genre? The people I checked on today that I didn't know had genre roles were Robert Morley, Philip Michael Thomas and Bobcat Goldthwait.
4. MST3K. There may be others, but I know The Killer Shrews was the cheesy movie for one episode.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list, and to dead, thanks for all the memories.
Movie released
X-Men: The Last Stand released, 2006
Prediction: Britain, France, Spain and Russia and the smaller so-called neutral nations will oppose the destroyers of democracy on the right.
Reality: Langdon-Davies gets two solid hits with Britain and Russia, sort of a hit with the quickly subdued French and a complete whiff with Spain, where the fascists won the Civil War, much to the writer's dismay.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Wednesday rolls around again and we discover our sensible pal George Sutherland is actually kind of brilliant.
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
Bob Goldthwait was STELLAR in Scrooged...
