If anyone does the narration in a TZ movie, it should be Will Arnett.

The only thing I remember about the Showtime Outer limits was boobs. It seemed important at the time.
The original, though: Soldier, Demon With a Glass Hand, those friggin' ants with human-ish faces…Dammit I miss late night uhf tv.
He can see his home and family waiting for him….he breaks into a run, opens his mouth to yell a greeting….
Actually the best TZ episodes-my favorites anyway-were usually written by Richard Matheson or Charles Beaumont. Serling reminds me of J. Michael Straczynski (actually, reverse that); his good writing was and is amazingly good, but when he missed the mark it came out, well, heavy handed and sermonizing.
Still gets a…
And Wesley from Buffy/Angel. Alex Denisof?
Hershey was naked a lot in Boxcar Bertha, so there's that….Madeleine Stowe is naked in just about everything.
My favorite: "Soylent Green, made from the best stuff on Earth…..People!"
Foundation could be incredible, but yeah, it would probably end up another Watchmen at best. Actually, Watchmen would've made a better HBO-type series than a movie anyway.
What I would love to see is an adaptation of Dan Simmons' Hyperion/Endymion Cantos.
It's not a Zwick picture unless there's a bunch of heroically useless death involved somewhere. The end of Glory always makes me think of Operation Get-Behind-the-Darkie from South Park. Hate the movie even though Andre Braugher was in it.
Didn't like The Last Samurai either.
Jack Palance smokes bigger than Billy Crystal.
Non-black, non-lesbian male space-alien-robot, whatever…
From your list, I'd add Alan Moore's run on Swamp Thing and Garth Ennis's work on Hellblazer. And James Robinson's 90's Starman series.
Also, one of my personal favorites, Matt Wagner. He writes Mage and Grendel (his own creations) and revamped the golden-age Sandman for Vertigo (DC) in the Sandman Mystery Theater…
I get Slan and More Than Human confused in my memory specifically because of those thematic similarities. Van Vogt is another sf writer that deserves a renaissance, especially for the Null-A books and Slan.
Frederic Brown, too. (see Krokodil below)
Thanks, Sam, Lord of Light and Call Me Conrad are my favorite Zelaznys.
Never really been able to get fully into the Amber series though.
LiA-Summer of Night is a great read. Which Stross do you have?
I would recommend reading the short story "Baby Is Three" first and if you like that then reading the expanded novel.
I actually have Roger Zemeckis' copy of Carter…or his company's anyway. Bought it through Alibris and it came with a multi-page report on the pros and cons of putting it into development as a project for him.
This pleases me more than is rational, I suspect.
How bad could Idaho be? Apparently some guy in Coeur D'Alene has the hand of god for sale on ebay.
Psychobabel; where in AK are you? I'm in Dutch Harbor which, coincidentally, is full of Idahoans.
What about Anjelica Huston for Prizzi's Honor? There's no way she deserved the win over Meg Tilly for Agnes of God.
The Academy's most egregious example of head-up-their-assedness has to be Chariots of Fire winning best picture over Raiders of the Lost Ark and Reds, though.
If we can get these two back together, maybe we can finally get production rolling on the real Good Will Hunting 2: Hunting season.
Now that's a movie I would illegally download!
Do they still have the Aragones gags in the margins. Those were always my favorite.
