There's a great (and really prescient) throwaway line in the original about how many parts of the androids were designed by computers, so even the engineers aren't quite sure how they work. I'm hoping they expand on that in this new one.

The original had three parts of a larger park called Delos (which I think is the name of the corporation in this one): Westworld, Medieval World, and Roman World. Better to use all those standing sets.

There was an interesting time travel comic released in the 80s called Aztec Ace. The cool wrinkle there was that the villain's tampering in time created paradox rifts that the hero called "Doxy Glitches." Not only did the hero have to fix the relevant timeline, he also had to resolve the glitches, sometimes by…

MeTV has also started running it during their late Saturday night Irwin Allen block. Right after Land of the Giants!

It reminds me of the Art Buchwald Coming to America suit. Sounds at first like the plaintiff is suing over a simple idea, but turns out later that the idea may really have been stolen.

I don't know about this one, but a regular pisco sour definitely isn't a "girl's drink," though it isn't overly strong. The one's I've had were very bitter, and usually made with egg whites.

One of those drinks that made an appearance a couple years ago when the "insanely complicated cocktails they used to make on…

William's and Bogart's take on the same character are about as different as humanly possible. Like Leslie Nielsen v Bela Lugosi as Dracula.

The original had a practical effects creature that was deemed "too horrifying" by the studio, so Arness was brought in. I don't think any photos of the creature exist, sadly.

And Falcon was actually the second remake of the same story within a decade.

Or the much shorter version: it's not funny.

See DC? Was that so difficult?

(The answer, of course, is that Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve provided a brilliant, easy to follow template. So no, not so difficult.)

Seconded. No interviews and just the right amount of Brak. SGCTC had to
o little and the Brak Show had too much. I still have my Cartoon Planet cast album on CD. Minkey Boodle!

"I've got a poodle in my noodle and his name is Minkey Boodle…."

My wife is one of those people that cannot abide cilantro. A few flakes in salsa and it makes the whole thing taste like soap. One of her best friends is Thai and uses cilantro in many of her dishes. My wife says she can't even tell it's there.

His off-the-cuff cracks during some of the challenges were his best moments, I thought.

I enjoyed the Top Gear reboot a lot more than I expected to, largely because of LeBlanc. I didn't despise Chris Evans like many of the die hards seemed to, but he did seem like he was trying too hard. They'll never recapture the chemistry of the big three, though.

"Holy crap is Blood Feast tasteless and inept."

Every glorious frame.

He was like the living embodiment of Mike Starr's producer character in Ed Wood or John Goodman in Matinee. Exploitation for exploitation's sake. Sell it to the rubes with a twinkle in your eye.

"Ishtar? Itar? It's just too close!!!"

The greatest thing about H.G. Lewis is that he would have agreed with every negative criticism of his work. I saw his profile on Jonathan Ross' Incredibly Strange Film Show and he seemed as puzzled as anyone else that his films had attracted a cult following. I particularly liked him cracking up about the tongue…
