The "T," sadly, does not stand for "Twin Peaks"
Did anyone else notice that the engineer in "Skin" was named Leland T. Lynch? I thought that was an awesome Twin Peaks shout-out for about nineteen seconds until I remembered that the space-time continuum only goes one way.

Grawlix.
I learned a new word today. Thanks, O'Neal!

Time Walker
One time I was watching MST3K make fun of a movie called "Time Walker" that was truly, truly, truly atrocious. I would have watched the episode anyway, for lines like "Wel-come to the e-nun-ci-a-tion se-mi-nar," but it had a special relish when I realized that one of the actors was someone I knew.

Huh
After reading this article I have a whole new appreciation for Dead Man.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't KE-vin and BRIT-ney!"

Please keep in mind that "levin" is Middle English for "lightning."

You had me at "hood"
Mutant Vampire Zombies from the Hood was directed by someone called "Thunder Levin." Who has the more badass name: him or CCH Pounder? Discuss.

Oddly, no, she doesn't. She gave a very interesting interview on Fresh Air a while back. (How that twit Terry Gross manages to ask the worst questions and still get the best guests baffles me.)

You would have fired him from your comic book shop for calling Babylon 5 a big pile of shit, I presume.

Suetonius is for shit. Now Sallust, there was a bile-spitter!

My grad-school colleagues and I used to check the IMDb every few months to see what was happening with that Vin Diesel thing. The fact that only Vin himself and a guy named Yorick van Wangeningen were the only actors attached only increased our fanatical devotion. IT MUST HAPPEN.

He was also apparently obsessed with his hair. So…Garry Shandling will be playing Caesar? Hmm. I always saw him as more of a Cicero.

Yes they should. But get Ciaran Hinds to play Vercingetorix this time. Twist!

In the Battle of the Network Space Krakens, I'm on Team Fincher.

Gimme your TOTS!

Speaking of Squigglevision, I miss Science Court.

Dark City
I wish someone with at least half a sense of humor would remake Dark City. I understand that "Dark" is right there in the title, but—sheesh! Lighten up a little, would ya? The movie would have been so much better if it didn't take itself so…what did Handlen say about Star Trek 1?…oh, yes "brow-scrunchingly

If you're going to watch, it's best to just pretend that Heroes was tragically canceled after season one and mourn it that way. You know, like how the X-Files was tragically canceled at the end of season 7. You heard me: TRAGICALLY. CANCELED. Such a shame they NEVER EVER EVER made a second movie.

She flashed her knobs in a steakhouse, sir.

Spencer's Gifts
It tickled me that the director obviously knew how crappy the evolved crystal version of Thing 1 looked, and took great pains to keep it just out of focus in every shot.
