I was going to go with Lee as Dracula, but the part itself has gone through so many scripted interpretations I don't know that there is a definitive one any more.

Well played. I was thinking about the general unnecessariness of My Fair Lady in the first place. But this wouldn't be the first time I've been in the minority.

Edward Petherbridge as Lord Peter Wimsey. The Carmichael adaptations are more faithful, but he's so stiff and paunchy that Sayers wouldn't recognize him.

I disagree, but I never saw a reason to add music to Shaw's play. Howard is note-perfect in his misanthropy.

While I agree re the pointless remake, I prefer Ramon Novarro in the part. He has a vulnerability and a genuine modesty that Heston can't match.
And Francis X. Bushman walks all over Stephen Boyd as Messala.

Robert Mitchum as Comedian.

After seeing her in that Ann Landers helmet on "Mad Men", I think Linda Cardellini would make a fine Lois.

Young Clooney for Reed Richards.

I really miss the old DC Message Boards. About twice a year we'd play "cast the JSA in 1941".

It's the franchise deal, with multiple films and playing the same character for years, that he'll never go for. But the only way a superhero movie is a one-off is if it bombs, which would not be the plan.

Jon Hamm should play Philip Marlowe *now*. We really deserve a faithful film version of "The Long Goodbye".

Straight from Gil Kane's notes: Paul Newman as 1959 Hal Jordan. I also like Zachary Scott for Stephen Strange, but he died in '65 and was 20 years too old then.

You were not. I'd have settled for a name check.

Possibly overlapping "The Box", director Michael Ritchie's "Please Stand By: A Prehistory of Television" (1994) covers the growth of TV from the lab days up to the start of network broadcasting in 1948.

Anyone else see "Angel of Death"? Ed Brubaker story, filmed for Crackle. ZB as an assassin who starts seeing ghosts after taking a knife to the head.

I've been wrong before. Maybe she says it in last season's first episode.

I think it's in "Captain America: The First Avenger" that someone asks her why she's on this side of the pond and she answers that "this is where the action is".
