RIP legendary American actor and filmmaker Robert Duvall (1931-2026).
He has starred in so many classics that we couldn't cover them all in one thread, but he has also done quite a bit of sci-fi: The Twilight Zone (1963), Countdown (1967), THX 1138 (1971), Invasion of the Body...
Roger Corman recycled the effects and score from another space movie, and then got the writer of Deathstalker and 11 episodes of Care Bears to write and direct it. It's SPACE RAIDERS and it will be one of four films for The RiffTrax Experiments

Now I'm picturing Terry Matalas in charge of a Sopranos sequel series where Tony is brought back in a robot body, only to end up abruptly cutting to black (again) in an even bigger and flashier restaurant.

They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

I've been reading Penny-Arcade since it looked like this:
Comic. [2x2 chart. Top left quadrant: seem like dinosaurs x are dinosaurs. Silhouettes of dinosaurs stegosaurus, triceratops, tyrannosaurus, velociraptor, and long-neck dinosaur.

Bottom left quadrant: donโt seem like dinosaurs x are dinosaurs. Silhouettes of penguin, egret, ostrich, pigeon, falcon. Bottom right: donโt seem like dinosaurs x are not dinosaurs. Silhouettes of squirrel, stapler, plant, person, and bicycle.]
