Lenny was the Mayor. The Archbishop was Mike.

Whatever its myriad flaws, Stephen Kíng's Sleepwalkers is redeemed by Mädchen Amick in her insanely-gorgeous prime.

What about Dean Keaton? He can't feel his legs…Keyser.

The Prophecy.

Yeah, Ridley Scott's filmography is surprisingly checkered, considering the man's reputation. Without thinking too much about it, I feel like he's made loads of great films. But when I actually examine his filmography, only Alien, Blade Runner, and The Duellists strike me as legitimately great films. Everything else

I maintain Alien has the most terrifying trailer of all time. The alien eggshell cracking, followed by the increasingly-paced montage of chaotic scenes backed by that ungodly shrieking siren (composed by Jonathan Elias, I believe), must have had unsuspecting cinemagoers shitting their pants.

At least the dubbing was less frequent in Empire and we got to hear the real voices of Kenneth Colley, Michael Sheard, Julian Glover, Michael Culver, and (at least once) Milton Johns…

Ah. I think I read an Australian news article/interview with Sumner around the same time The Force Awakens was released, and I conflated it with Elstree 1976. In fact it was probably this article: http://www.smh.com.au/enter…

I'm pretty sure Sumner was one of the interviewees in the recent Elstree 1976 documentary.

William Hootkins was also in the "Beer" episode of Blackadder II, uttering the immortal line, "Great booze-up, Edmund!!!" And he was pretty good playing a creepy, child-like psychopath in American Gothic (no, note the TV series with Gary Cole, a movie from the 1980s starring Rod Steiger and Yvonne De Carlo). And

I believe that dubbed Imperial officer was played by George Roubicek, a.k.a. Captain Hopper in the Doctor Who story The Tomb of the Cybermen. And while I'm talking about Doctor Who guys getting dubbed in Star Wars movies… Milton Johns (who appeared as several characters in Doctor Who, most memorably as Castellan

Maybe we can bump up the numbers by including Meyer's Time After Time as a Star Trek film. It's got time-travel, San Francisco, Dr Soran, and the Cardassian who tortured Jean-Luc Picard…

What about my little keister?

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun…

Oh man, I'd love it if Trump tweeted that he received a very gracious phone call from General Arius of Val Verde.

Ann Coulter reminds me of the old hag from the movie Pumpkinhead. Only more terrifying.

Verhoeven? Nah, it's gotta be Hitchcock. There's been over a dozen remakes of his films.

"BALLS THOROUGHLY LICKED"

Yeah, Furman definitely applied more respect and imagination and to TF than the cartoon did. Furman gave us Unicron and Primus as ancient gods and the Transformers as Primus' descendants. The cartoon's origin story for the Transformers revealed they were mere chattel created by the Quintessons, and Unicron was built
