"The Android Invasion" was written by Terry Nation (and one of only two non-Dalek stories Nation would pen), so it's no surprise this one was thoroughly enjoyable. Perhaps my favorite part was Dave Carter's portrayal of a very enthusiastic Mission Control officer, who, in a way, saves the day.

This week's entry in my Doctor Who - Forty Years On saga was "The Android Invasion", in which Sarah Jane loses her head (or rather Android Sarah Jane loses her face), and the Doctor faces a rather nasty facsimile of himself.

And I always thought "crackers" was referring to their target market 🤔

YouTube video by The Sackhoff Show Clips WTF! Steve Guttenberg snuck onto the Paramount lot & created a fake office for 3 years!

I never thought I'd say this, but Steve Guttenberg just achieved Legend status in my book: when he first came to Hollywood he figured out how to sneak onto the Paramount lot, found an unused office in a vacant building, moved in, and used it for three years.

For what it's worth, "Rio"'s real name, or at least the name of the model Nagel based the album cover version of Rio on, is Marcie Hunt. Which is interesting primarily because this was evidently a complete mystery until 2024 when the picture he used was discovered in a 1981 edition of French Vogue.

I saw it Thursday, and it managed to do something that, even as late as last week, seemed unthinkable: it humanizes Andy. A few tears may have been shed...

But the two films Friday night were the anticipated gut-punch assault on our senses and logic, as if Andy was reminding us, "This is me, babe."

I'll be flying into NYC that afternoon but will be at the Milligan doc screening that evening, otherwise I'd absolutely be there for this.

You've insulted the Nauga.

The cover of Esquire 60 years ago this month. It was both a joke about how some people firmly believed Hitler had survived and was living in S America, as well as a serious reminder that his kind still very much exist. And sixty years on...

When Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel sing it together it's "The Sounds of Silence".
When either Paul Simon or Art Garfunkel sing it as a solo it's "The Sound of Silence".
When anyone else covers it you can call it whatever you want because it's irrelevant.
If you don't agree with this you are wrong.

It's almost impossible for Tulsi Gabbard not to look like the most incompetent person in the room, and yet here we are.

Story of my life...

Something happened to NOAA between the 22nd and 25th. I wonder what that could have been...🤔

Coincidentally, this also marks a drastic increase in Commenters suggesting NOAA should commit carnal acts on itself.

I'm thinking of writing a book called "Jesus Christ: From Messiah to Mascot", but I'm afraid any examples I'd include would be outdated and superceded before it made it to the printers.

HHS plans to cut the national suicide hotline’s program for LGBTQ youth In February, the program received an average of 2,100 contacts per day.

I wonder if this will include the original film this started out as, GABRIELLA, GABRIELLA (1970).

Not much of a stretch really.

I'm (thankfully) not familiar with this clown, but I for one see exactly ZERO about him that would even in my most drunken moments make me think of Lee Marvin.

To be clearer, a copy of the original picture has been around for years, but Mr Spark IDed the person, and now the place, and has also found the actual original photograph(s), plural, because there are several from that day!

Alasdair Spark initially IDed the person replace by Nicholson as Cassini Santos, a British ballroom dancer of some renown in the 1920s and 30s, and now we know the rest of the story of the photo!

Mystery solved! The date and location of the original photo that was used at the end of THE SHINING has been found! St Valentines Day Ball, 14 February 1921, at the Empress Rooms, the Royal Palace Hotel, Kensington.

And looking into this a bit further, it's missing not only the iconic Lion but also the bottom half of the name (STUDIOS) itself.

It's almost like it's nothing more than a stuffed trophy head on someone's wall. 🤔

So Amazon wants credit for refurbishing MGM's original sign, except very little of it is original, and they put it on a building that's not only too small for the entire sign, but also isn't even accessible by the general public. So exactly what we've come to expect from Jeff Bozo.

For what it's worth, I've always understood it to be "blank" as well. And I just went through several vids of people (Letterman, Carson, etc) pronouncing his name as "blank" right in front of him, so I'd say that is how it's supposed to be pronounced.

I'm afraid you're a bit off. The Daleks first invaded the US as early as April/May 1966. These, for example, are from the May 8 and 12, 1966, St Louis Dispatch.

One of the few remaining mid-century motels in Villano Beach, FL, we heard today that the owners have filed for a demolition permit and will replace it with townhouses. 😡

These pics are from 2017.

Just heard the carpetbagging owners of the Magic Beach Motel filed for a demo permit, with support of the useless Vilano Beach Mainstreet Board. And of course this gem of mid-century wonder (built 1951) will be replaced by townhouses. I really hate people sometimes.
