Ah, my old home town, but, of course, this isn’t confined to Seattle or even geek materials.

Just yesterday, I met a Labrador named Ziva . . . from NCIS, of course.

Interesting. I was unaware of the remake.

“Okay, you’re going to be an outdoor pet.”

I am soooo watching this . ...

I remember “Terror from the Year 5,000.” Used to run on “Nightmare Theater” occasionally. About a time-traveling mutant woman from a post-atomic future, trying to prevent her own hellish apocalyptic future, as I recall . . . ..


The classic George Pal version of THE TIME MACHINE came out in 1960, while BRIGADOON came out in 1954. (And, yes, I had to look that up.) Calling a BRIGADOON a time-travel movie is a bit of stretch, but I’ll allow it to get something made before 1960 onto the list! :)

My inner curmudgeon feels obliged to point out that this is more like a list of “Every MODERN Time Travel Movie.” Points for including BRIGADOON, but let’s not forget:

Berkeley Square (1933)

My inner curmudgeon thanks you. This should have been more properly labeled the “Every MODERN Time Travel Movie.”

Thank you! I kept looking for PORTRAIT OF JENNIE and couldn’t find it. Heck, are there ANY movies on this list before BRIGADOON?

This is where I’m contractually obliged to point out that SOMEWHERE IN TIME was based on the World Fantasy Award-winning novel by Richard Matheson.

That was part of it, no doubt. But the case against her was also largely circumstantial: there was no physical evidence, no murder weapon, no eyewitnesses, no confession. Basically, the case against her was that she had no real alibi, she had the opportunity and (possibly) a motive, and her early statements to the

Prediction: A hundred years from now, people will still be arguing about whether Amanda Knox was guilty.

She’s the 21st century Lizzie Borden.

Good one.

There are still people who argue vocally that she was innocent. And she WAS acquitted . ...

Time travel. We need time-travel to resolve these things.

(I actually sold a story once about a true-crime writer who went back in time expressly to find out who the Ripper was.)

Absolutely. I thought KDogggg was referring to Cooper for some reason.

Going really old-school: What about the Princes in the Tower?

Did Richard III do it or not?

The actual identity of “Dan Cooper” has never been confirmed, despite periodic news reports to the contrary. It’s usually just hearsay: “My cousin said that his ex-wife’s father once claimed to be D.B. Cooper . .. .”

And this where I shamelessly claim that he was actually abducted by time-travelers from the future, as

Every few years, somebody writes a new book “revealing” the true murderer. And it’s always somebody different. :)

I’ve lost track of the number of times this murder has been “solved” by amateur sleuths.

Lizzie Borden? Jack the Ripper?

I have a female bulldog. Lyla has gone her entire life being called “Buddy” and “Good boy” by friendly strangers we encounter on our walks. Trust me, EVERYONE assumes she is male until informed otherwise. I should probably get her a pink collar or something, but would that be succumbing to gender stereotypes?
