Nah, this was years before the New 52 thing. Possibly around the time of the first “52” miniseries, when Black Adam and Isis (no, not *that* ISIS) were causing trouble in the Mid-East.

Yeah, he joined forces with Black Adam several years back.

See Blackoak’s post above.

Thank you! I was going to mention that the “Loose Body Parts” marathon also includes “Mad Love,” which is one of Peter Lorre’s creepiest movies. It’s also probably the best movie version of “The Hands of Orlac,” an old horror chestnut that dates back to the silent days at least.

Never heard of that MGM channel before.…

When I was twelve I would have surely said the “Barsoom” books by ERB. Nowadays, Bradbury wins.

And if we’re going to break it down by story, “And the Moon Be Still as Bright” is the best Martian story in that collection.

(“And There Shall Come Soft Rains” is the best story in the book, but it’s only tangentially…

You win. I loved that movie as a kid.

I had the same thought. Sounds like they’re falling over backwards to make sure the extras know what they’re getting into, just to avoid any awkwardness or miscommunication on the set. “Hey, when you mentioned that there might be be some ‘tasteful’ nudity involved, you didn’t say that I’d be playing a painted…

You should definitely check out the original. It’s a classic.

The sequel, FUTURE WORLD? Not so much.

Thanks!

Although I suspect any new TV revival would want to go their own way.

Thank for the kinds words about Dave and I’s books. As a big 4400 fan, I enjoyed getting a chance to wrap things up to some degree.

So, is Joey from the comics? He wasn’t ringing any bells for me.

Let it be noted that William Sadler also spent the first season of ROSWELL intent on tracking down the hidden aliens . . . .

Oh, I got it, too, but I remember when comics were only twelve cents apiece. (Dime comics were slightly before my time.)

I will say this. GOTHAM is crazy enough that I honestly didn’t know if the cheerleaders were going to be saved or not.

Regarding Barbara: it wasn’t just the week with the Ogre; the show had been suggesting that Barbara was troubled and borderline unstable for awhile there. The Ogre just pushed her over the edge.

I can also see a LOT of Jack Nicholson’s Joker in Jerome, maybe even more so than Ledger’s.

I can testify that it has devout fan base. I still get fan letters asking for more 4400 novels—and from all over the world. (It seems to have a sizable international following.)

I’m all for this, but dare I mention that the cliffhanger was resolved in a certain novel?

So, nothing to do with the “Twilight Zone” episode of the same name?

By coincidence, “Mamma Mia!” just closed on Broadway—after 14 years.

Not sure we can blame Brosnan for that, though . . . .
