A hard act to follow. Was wondering who would be chosen to replace him. A good choice. Looking forward to reading it.

Didn't know the Dustin Hoffman/Tom Cruise film had a toy line.

9. Defence Protocol by Brian Andrews and Jeffrey Wilson, 2024.
Books 24 in the Jack Ryan series. Presidant Ryan and his daughter in the Navy must stop a Chinese plot to invade Taiwan.
Great stuff. Katie Ryan is a better character than Ryan Jnr.

8. The Silence of The Unicorn by Steve White, 2024
Wonderful and charming book, in the vein if Tintin.
Tara Togs gets mixed up with some art thieves and forgers.
Manages to capture the mini cliffhanger at the end of each pages that early tintin had.
Books 2 is coming soon!

Thomas Harris also wrote Red Dragon,Silence Of The Lambs, Cannibal and Hannibal Rising. Each one adapted into a film.
Only one book (Cari Mora)of his unadapted...so a adaptation rate of 83%
Even Stephen King hasn't been adapted at a higher percentage.

16. Black Sunday (1977)
Robert Shaw is chasing a terrorist Bruce Dern with plans to attack an American event. With a few days notice he realises its the Superbowl. Appropriate to watch this after last week's superbowl.
Adapted from Thomas Harris' book.
Gripping thriller

7. Dune House Corrino, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson, 2001.
The final book in the House trilogy and Paul, Channel and Irulan appear on the scene, it ending about 15yrs prior to DUNE.
Better than the 2nd but its still about moving peices around to get ready for DUNE.

15. Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Classic screwball comedy where Katherine Hepbern decides Cary Grant is her guy so stops him getting married. Grant plays a befuddled dinosaur expert, Katherine an Hieress.
Very funny and you can see why these actors are consided legends.

There are Guilty Feathers out there!

US senator is investigating magic as the public turns against its use.
Not as good as Cast A Deadly Spell as it changes the world built in that film (magic use). Dennis Hopper is not as engaging as Fred Ward. Julian Sands does good work as usual.
Great story though. Worth watching.

The Moonies are no longer issuing visas

And Scott Pilgrim!

Brandon Routh was Superman, Dylan Dog, The Atom, Kingdom Come Superman and in Scott Pilgrim.

That's it! I knew there was another comic role in his ouvre, just couldn't remember it.

Do you think they Post incorrect stuff so people interact and tell them its all BS cos they get paid on number of responses?

TWICE!

I really enjoyed the cartoon series - watched them for teh first time a few years ago

Multiple episodes of Dangermouse where to save money they had episodes set in the artic, so the white background wasn't needed to be painted. Very funny stuff

The "the first film was way too expensive so let's get a TV producer to make a cheap sequel" and we end up with Wrath Of Khan.

Patrick Stewart wanting to leave after 3 seasons of TNG so they end on a cliffhanger where Picard was assimilated in The Best Of Both Worlds Part 1. What a way to write him out.
Unless you chicken out...and convince Sir Pat to stay.

Harrison Ford was so ill he refused to finish filming a big fight sequence in Raiders so instead of the carefully crafted and long rehearsed fight we had...

Obi Wan was killed off when Lucas realised he did nothing after they escaped the Death Star.
This meant he had to create a new Jedi to teach Luke in Empire.
Wise decision that was.

Not true.. unwilling to pay the Crichton estate for the rights to the character. Just being cheap.
