Notes from the birthday list.
1. The Picture Slot. In 2013, the birthday list only had Christina Hendricks and I used a picture of her as Saffron (or is it Yolanda?) from Firefly. In 2014, it was a picture of Caitlin Clarke from Dragonslayer. (I typed in her death date last year, but I'm still not completely used to it.) With those two removed from the competition, I consider Jeanne Bal's role from the original Star Trek series the most iconic, pictured here with an unidentified Canadian actor.
I kid. I'm a kidder.
2. Spot the Canadians! First off, Ron Canada is not Canadian. There are two Canadians. Zoe Belkin hasn't been in enough to be easily spottable, but the other Canadian, born in the 1970s, does have the telltale signs in the credit list.
3. Nepotism FTW. Rebecca Hall is a British actress. Her dad is Peter Hall, a film and stage director who lead the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1960s.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Movies released
Spider-Man released, 2002
Iron Man 3 released, 2013
Prediction: On May 3, 2017, the Odyssey crew is awakened from cryosleep to investigate a large tetrahedral object in orbit around the earth.
Reality: Most of the film's action takes place in the more distant future, but near the end of the film, there is a flashback to this scene that takes place in 2017. It assumes the space program is going to be pretty damn fancy two years from now and that doesn't seem very likely. More than that, during the scene, it's mentioned the Super Bowl was played "last night". There's no chance in hell that the Super Bowl is going to be moved from early February to early May in the next two years.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
