I think people understand the concept of reboots—and always have.

It’s not as though no one has ever remade THE MUMMY before. :)

Since 1931 at least. Lugosi’s DRACULA was first released on Valentine’s Day and billed as “The Strangest Love Story Ever Told.”

Yeah, these puns sphinx . . ..

Neat. I remember watching a documentary on Maskelyne on The History Channel age ago (before it turned into the Pseudo-History Channel). And interesting guy . ....

Showing my age, I’d prefer a connection to the original black-and-white movies, but I doubt they’ll go there . . ..

Chances are, they’ll reboot the Mummy series for at least for the FOURTH time . . . counting the Hammer Films remake starring Christopher Lee..

You make a good point, but I doubt she’ll be wrapped in bandages the whole movie. More likely, they’ll take a leaf from Imhotep (in both the Karloff and Vosloo movies) and have her shed her bandages fairly quickly. Think reborn high priestess/sorceress instead.

Considered me intrigued.

And, of course, sinister female mummies have a proud tradition,dating back to “The Jewel of Seven Stars” by Bram Stoker.

And we have a winner!

Meanwhile, let us not forget such classics as THE HOWLING 2: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF, and JAWS 3D.

At the risk of channeling my inner curmudgeon, how can you say that these are the most unnecessary sequels “of All Time” when the oldest movie on the list is no more than ten years old? Since when did Time began in 2005?

Look, I get that you want to highlight newer movies that younger viewers are more familiar with—as…

It was explained that he actively recruited Alex in order to watch over her, as he promised her father. One can argue that bringing Alex into the dangerous world of alien-hunting is an odd way to “protect” her, but maybe that’s how they did it on Mars back in the day. He’s protecting her by training her to be a…

Not a huge Jemm fan, but it seems to me that, rather than turn Jemm into an evil tyrant, they could have just used Despero instead.

But, yes, I thoroughly geeked out over the Martian Manhunter reveal.

These are sublime . . . and would go great with the vintage HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES poster framed in my office.

Short version: Gary Seven and Roberta Lincoln crash a (real-life) summit meeting between Reagan and Gorbachev in order to foil a sinister plot involving, yes, poisoned jellybeans.

This is where I shamelessly mention that Reagan makes a cameo in one of my EUGENICS WARS novels. I got at least one angry letter about that, from a conservative fan who objected to me inserting my liberal politics into STAR TREK . . .. :)

The Uhura/Kirk kiss was a big deal at the time, but it hardly sunk the series. STAR TREK was already dying in the ratings, its budget had been severely cut, AND it had been stuck in a “kiss of death” time slot at 10 o’clock on Friday nights, all before “Plato’s Stepchildren” aired..

Despite the network’s concerns, the…

Speaking of succubi, let’s not forget Marvel’s own Satana, who could steal your soul with a kiss.

You want to see an interesting new take on Macbeth? Check out the current season of FARGO, which I’m convinced is deliberately riffing on “Macbeth” with amiable, good-guy Ed becoming steadily harder and more ruthless as time goes on, while wife Peggy, who instigated the whole bloody mess, is slowing losing her mind .…

Except most of his friends and family, it seems. :)

Granted, she doesn’t know about Savage’s threat, but does she know he’s the Green Arrow? I admit I’m more of a FLASH watcher, so I’m not really up on the backstory here.
