Gidget Goes Galactic.

That's a great tag line.

With all due respect to The Twilight Zone, the fiendish ventriloquist dummy plot dates back to "The Dead of Night," a 1945 British anthology film.

We probably need to add some vintage Moorcock. The Final Programme? Behold the Man?

As opposed to every single classic horror movie poster showing the monster carrying a girl in a night dress. Or pretty much every single vampire story since the days of Bram Stoker or J. Sheridan Le Fanu. Sex and death have been holding hands in horror fiction since Day One.

If you didn't grow up obsessed with this stuff, it's just a a blur. It's easy to forget what life is like outside the fan/media bubble. I was talking to my brother-in-law last week and he had no idea who the Avengers were or that there was a new Batman movie coming out soon . . . .

I don't think they're afraid of the comic book connection. I think they just want to avoid any confusion with Green Lantern AND Green Hornet. And, yeah, that sounds silly to us geeks, but, trust me, the average person has trouble telling them apart. "That comic book guy, Green Something? Is he the one with the…

Seriously? That's NOT supposed to be Spawn?

Huh? I think you may be confusing Big Barda with Maxima. Big Barda's the one married to Scott Free.

The old joke was that only the even-numbered Trek films were any good. And, yes, ST III is the best of the much-maligned "odd-numbered" films—not counting the recent reboot.

Agreed, ST III may be the neglected middle child in that trilogy ("Khan! Khan! Khan! All I ever hear is Khan!"), but it's an enjoyable film in its own right. It was the first of the Trek movies to really give the entire assemble something to, plus it brought back Mark Lenard as Sarek. It's by no means the "Worst"…

Actually, Michael Caine was in the 4th Jaws movie ("Jaws: The Revenge"), not Jaws 3-D.

Actually, it was producer Harve Bennett who watched all the old episodes and decided to bring back Khan.

He's obviously talking about the original Karloff version, not the remakes. Imhotep dies at the end of that movie and was never brought. The later (1940's) Universal films featured a different mummy.

That's because there isn't. There's also "The Holmes-Dracula Files" by Fred Saberhagen, as well as a graphic novel whose name I can't immediately recall.

Ragman, Colossal Boy, and Batwoman are Jewish. There are probably more, but those are the ones who originally came to mind.

Congrats to all the winners! (Hi, Kij!)

Nothing new here. Movie novelizations have been around since the silent era.

I remember that I loved it, but my brother hated it (probably because he was expecting something more Pythonesque). So I guess it's always been a polarizing film.

And it's based on a novel by Richard Matheson that won the World Fantasy Award way back when.
