    Funny, odd, or the most absurd ads you have ever seen....

    I have nothing to say.

    Tim Burton doing Dark Shadows in 2012...

    Yes, and it was actually pretty good. It was killed off by the first Gulf War, news of which occupied the evening slot and necessitated in moving around or actually canceling other TV shows.

    Tim Burton doing Dark Shadows in 2012...

    Burton should be able to pull this off. And I agree -- if they use anything OTHER than Cobert's music, it'll be a travesty. That music MADE "Dark Shadows" what it was. Without that music, even if they have the same characters and plots, it's not DS.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Oh, dang. Now I'm going to have to dig out the Sky Captain DVD again. It's got some goofy elements, but I *love* that movie. What an idea -- and what vision!

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    If someone were to come out with a perfume that smelled like mimeo fluid, I'd be over the moon. I could also vicariously relive that crush on my sixth-grade art teacher. :) Ah, Ms. Scudder, where are you, now?

    Red tails trailer

    Exactly. Although I still lament the horrid "Flyboys" of a few years ago, CGI is the only way to really pull something like that off today. Such potential, and they dumbed it down SO much for audiences -- all the allies flew Sopwith Camels, and ALL the Germans flew all-red Fokker triplanes. It...

    What are your favorite T.V. theme songs?

    Rats, I was going to post Peter Gunn. I've always thought that of all the TV themes I've heard, it is the most unabashedly COOL piece of music out there. And thanks for that link to the TV theme website. I'm not going to get any work done today. I do have to offer this one, though. The show...

    This gives me flashbacks to "WKRP in Cincinatti" -- a great show with bad clothes. Oh, Herb Tarlick....

    favorite cars of the golden era

    We are in the same boat (although my avatar is a 1933 Auburn boat-tail speedster).

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Ah, mimeographs. Anyone else remember getting the blue mimeo-ed handouts in school to pass back, and the first thing everyone did was bury their faces in the things and take a big whiff? Ah, mimeos. :)

    WORST Record Albums EVER

    This isn't an album -- but in the tradition of actors "intoning" pop songs, I present: Eric Braeden (from the soap opera, The Young and the Restless) "performing" the song "Since my baby left me": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7jSEVBbk2I

    I want this house so badly, it isn't funny!

    I think I must hate you. Or at least send waves of envy in your general direction. That's pretty much typical of my dream house. I'd settle for a duplicate of Lyndhurst, if it would be possible.

    That Was the Year that Was. Peter O'Toole. Ah. "I'm not an actor-- I'm a movie star!"

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    It never grows old, does it? I may have to watch it tonight (again again again) myself, now that I think about it. Thanks for the idea! :)

    John Carter (of Mars)

    Most of my online gaming handles are "Tars Tarkas" -- the old joke was I needed four hands to play. One on the keyboard, one on the mouse, one for my pipe, and one to hold the scotch.

    John Carter (of Mars)

    That was from Asylum -- a film company that specializes in low-budget, rush-to-the screen (or, rather, the DVD market) rip-offs of films that are big-budget blockbusters. You may "recognize" some of their titles: "Transmorphers: The Fall of Man," "The Day the Earth Stopped," "Allan Quatermain...
