Single frame from a Golden Age Captain America comicbook. Our hero, with shield in hand, is looking up at a guy in a green suit hovering above on large orange patterned wings.
He says: "The Butterfly! So we meet at last!"

The Butterfly was one of the 1940s Captain America villains, aka Dr Vitrioli.

Tonight’s sci-fi dive: β€œConquest of Space” (1955).
Classic perilous mission to Mars flick with that TECHNICOLOR aura that is pure eye candy.

THIRTEEN GHOSTS (2001) Dir. Steve Beck

A loud and frantic remake that proudly wears its era on its sleeve. Flashy edits and harsh lighting scream early 2000s, yet the energy is infectious. It is messy, aggressive, and entertaining, with Tony Shalhoub around to ground the chaos. Worth another shotπŸŽžοΈπŸ“½οΈ

Opening splash page from My Greatest Adventure no. 16 (Aug 1957) by Sheldon β€œShelly” Moldoff. The beloved Batman artist of the 40s & 50s doing a sci-fi story here, and it looks great. Freed from being Bob Kane’s ghost artist, he displays a great affinity for science fiction.

One of my earliest tweets (2018) described some uncanny similarities between Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment and the celebrated bad movie Robot Monster (1953)

It's hard to describe the incredible unadulterated joy that you get marching at Mardi Gras. The waves of pure love that roll in from the crowd are just incredible.

Health inspectors are an underrepresented profession in the movies. You know which profession is weirdly over-represented on film - art gallery owners πŸ–ΌοΈ

Not that I disagree, but hanging around for seven years now would mean what .. being in twenty or so stories?

Wag the Dog - film-authority.com […] More

Lets give yet another bump to Wag the Dog, a prescient movie about a corrupt US president seeking to avoid punishment for molesting children, who casually launches his country into a murderous war in the hope of forcing others to rally around his fake cause. 4/5
