  1. Flash has taken a rather distressing turn, but I expect it to be turned around by the end of the season. On a different note, I see that CW is renewing all of its super-hero shows, but it appears that Gotham's future is in doubt. George
  2. The title character of the film has been around since 1998, in various media. A TV version had a star who, IMHO, was much more true to the character than the movie star. The movie's original title was too similar to "Hellboy," which came out about the same time. This was thought to be likely to hurt ticket sales, so the title was changed. The look of Hell was based on old footage of nuclear tests, specifically the sudden shockwave immediately after the blast that disintegrated anything in its path, hence the crumbling landscape. Kevin Spacey and Mel Gibson were touted for the title role, but it went to a younger (but still quite well-known) actor. The tattoo on the star's arms is the alchemical symbol of the Red King, which was worn (by him) for protection. It is "the fire triangle with three radiating arrows below represents the 'Perfect Red King,' the Sulfur of the Philosophers." According to an interview with The A.V. Club published on August 28, 2017, Peter Stormare came up with his own costume design for the appearance of Lucifer - the off white linen suit with tar dripping down from his feet are specifically mentioned. The producer and director had initially wanted "leather pants, bare-chested...a dog collar with spikes" and tattoos over Stormare's face and chest. George

  9. Drawing on memories from 40 years ago, I seem to recall VP, in PFAL, suggesting that one put away all reading, for a few months, except the Bible and biblical research materials (which, of course, would have included the PFAL books). Again, that was a LONG time ago. George
  10. Kate Capshaw IJ and the Temple of Doom Jonathan Ke Quan George
  11. You know, then mama took me to Sunday school They tried to teach me the golden rule Everytime that choir would sing Once I was climbing the garden wall I slipped and had a terrible fall I fell so hard, I heard bells ring Once, I was swimmin' 'cross Turtle Creek Man, them snappers all around my feet Sure was hard swimmin' 'cross that thing George
  12. Before the show was set to air, one of the actors asked another what he thought their chances for success were. The second said he thought they "didn't have a chance". When asked why, he responded, "Because the audience for this show is me, and I don't watch TV." As one character became more popular, his entrance applause grew so prolonged, that the cast complained it was ruining the pacing of their scenes. Directors subsequently asked the audience not to applaud so much when that actor entered. One of the creators was quite volatile in meetings with NBC executives, and would often outright refuse to accept their notes and suggestions. He was eventually banned from attending the meetings.

  14. "Little Nash Rambler" (I think the real title is "Beep, Beep") Don't remember the artist. George
  15. I'm not sure that LoT can "jump the shark," but this season's finale sure gives it the college try. I have to admit to a grudging smile for the way Mallus was defeated. (If this is a spoiler for anyone, did you think he WOULDN'T be defeated?) George

  17. Well, you've pretty much named the characters, but I still don't recognize it. George
  18. I've seen both the original and the musical remake. If I remember correctly, Jack Nicholson's character was reprised by Bill Murray. "FEED ME!" New one to come soon... George
