1. The Picture Slot. Today's list has a lot more Oh That Guys than movie stars. In previous years the Picture Slot was given to artist Hannes Bok and writer Terry Rossio. This year it goes, to Saul Rubinek, an Oh That Guy whose work I've always liked, pictured as the collect Kivas Fajo from Star Trek: The Next Generation.
2. Wait... he's dead? Still not completely used to the fact that Ron Silver is dead.
3. Nepotism FTW. Wendy Schaal is the daughter of Richard Schaal.
4. A Canadian walks amongst us. Robert Ito's career started long before the big boom in Canadian TV and movie production.
Many happy returns to all the living on the list and to the dead, thanks for all the memories.
Terminator 3: The Rise of the Machines released 2003
Hancock released, 2008
I know some folks are excited for a new Terminator movie, but I terminated by Terminator activities after the second one.
Prediction: If the United States gives up in Vietnam, the Pacific Ocean will become a Red Sea.
Reality: Well, we lost in Vietnam about 40 years ago now and the Commies still haven't pushed us out of the Pacific. One of the things about the future I find disappointing, maybe even more than the lack of flying cars and jetpacks, is how completely off the table any discussion of reducing the military budget is in the United States, even though the list of big victories after World War II consists of Grenada and the first Gulf War.
Looking one day ahead... INTO THE FUTURE!
Will tomorrow bring us H.G. Wells the futurist, H.G. Wells the warmonger or H.G. Wells the creepy guy?
Join us then... IN THE FUTURE!
It really is fun to watch Saul Rubinek, a naturalized Canadian whose family was rescued by the Allies at the end of World War II. Elizabeth Brooks was born in Toronto.
ReplyDeleteGoofy Terminator fact: the two lead actresses in Game of Thrones have now played Sarah Connor. Lena Headey had the role in The Sarah Connor Chronicles, and Emilia Clarke's version is in the new movie, Genysis. A dozen horses couldn't drag me to that mess, even if Clarke, Headey and Indira Varma were riding three of them.
