No ridicule from me. That’s a great poster.

Shame that scene appears nowhere in the actual movie, in which you don’t actually see the 50-Foot Woman until the last ten minutes or so . .... :)

And, in some cases, the movie posters are better and more iconic than the actual movies.

Hello, ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN. :)

Hah! I’m the exact opposite. I mostly watch TCM instead of all that “new” stuff on AMC. :)

TCM also has a pretty impressive lineup of vintage horror classics this month: silents, Universal monster movies, Val Lewton films from the 40s, Hammer Films, THE HAUNTING, THE UNINVITED, HAUSU . . . lots of great stuff, with a special emphasis on Christopher Lee movies this years.

It’s like the Fantastic Four getting their powers by trying to beat the Commies to the moon, or Tony Stark getting captured the Viet Cong back in the day. “Topical” origin stories eventually need to be tweaked as time leaves them behind.

I was thinking more Ray Harryhausen, but that may just be my age. :)

Let’s just say that the soundtrack for “The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad” was on heavy rotation when I was writing this book!

I’m afraid to look him up for fear that the actor might not be alive anymore.

What’s Harry Anderson doing these days?

Hope you like it!

And that the second book comes out this spring?

Not season two, season three. :)

We’re heading into Season 3 . . ..

Did I mention that the first LIBRARIANS novel goes on sale tomorrow?

Definitely, although like any long-running movie series (think Bond, STAR TREK, STAR WARS), the movies vary in quality. And the original 1968 movie (co-written by Rod Serling) is a genuine, must-see classic and possibly my all-time favorite science fiction movie.

Just for fun, my rankings would be, from best to…

Honestly, do we really think that Wondy’s creator, William Mouton Marston, would have a problem with this? He was a free thinker and early proto-feminist who was into polyamory and “loving submission” back in the day; in short, not exactly conservative when it came to sexual politics.

Hell, one of his wives/mistresses…

Those are the mutants from BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, the second movie in the original movie series.

Didn’t Tim Burton already do that? :)

Is that Toronto in the movie trailer? It looks very sunny and tropical.

Okay, I just got around to actually watching the trailer and, oh yeah, they are definitely breaking out of the box. Exterior shots, multiple camera angles, a motorcycle racing down a highway, wide open spaces. The whole trailer practically screams “Look, we’re not locked in one room anymore!”

It’s like the bit in the…

I assume that the point of doing it as a movie would be to finally being able to venture beyond the one-set-per-season format and open things up a bit. You know, do all the stuff they couldn’t afford to do on the web series.

“What? You mean we can actually show the rest of campus? And do some location filming? Get…
