Mumbly Mouth Mel
Mad Max (not The Road Warrior) but the actual Australian un-dubbed version is currently playing on my TV. At first I was wondering why they dubbed his voice at all because the accent really isn’t that bad. But as the film progresses Mel’s voice gets quieter and he is a bit of a mumbly mouth…

I Want It Wednesday: Life-sized B9 Robot
Even though this life-sized replica of the Lost In Space robot (also known as the B9 robot) is half the price of the Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet he is still $25,000 more than I have to spend on a giant toy. Although I would love to have him. B9 is not just a…

I Want It Wednesday: Life-sized Robby The Robot
One of my all time favorite films is Forbidden Planet. I love Robby the Robot and I would love to have this life-sized version of this famous robot. But with a price tag of almost $50,000 I say only a few folks like the guy who owns the Science Fiction Museum could afford one. Besides…

What Did You Say? Dumbledore is Gay
Rowlings outed Dumbledore this weekend at a question and answer session at Carnegie Hall in New York. A kid asked her if Dumbledore ever loved anyone, her reply was “Dumbledore is gay, actuallyâ€. Personally, I think it was brave of her to make such a statement and to stick by it. According to ABCNews.com, she…

New Flash Gordon series debuts this Friday [August 10th] at 9 on the SCIFI Channel. It is a 90 minute premiere so set your tivo accordingly. Oh and by the way, it is supposed to be a bit on the cheesy side. So take it with a grain of salt so to speak.

Bionic Woman Returns to TV
I absolutely loved The Bionic Woman in the seventies. When I heard that there was going to be a new series on NBC this Fall I got pretty excited. At first. Then I thought back to the Jamie Sommers I knew and loved. How can they remake her? [I know they have the technology they…
