I'm sorry to hear about Ken Adam. His ingenuity gave movies like Strangelove and the Bond films that big screen better-than-reality feel that movies so needed in the '60s to pull audiences away from t ... |

But, hey, it had to be fake. The Earth is flat and the moon is a big piece of cheese.

That's an interesting idea. Maybe a future Batman film could go retro and be set in the 1940s with Lincoln-inspired car. Come to think of it a Golden Age Bat movie would be pretty neat. I can't see it ... |

My wish list has long been for something car makers diligently detract from. How hard would it be to make cars with thick and inexpensive rubber coated spring loaded bumpers that can easily take a 5 m ... |

Come to think of it the success of this film may not have been as much due to the script as to the comedic talent of the stars. The script just kept the horror actors playing it straight balanced by t ... |

Well, it didn't win the best picture Oscar last night, but at least it won the Golden Globe last month for best comedy. |

I was thinking George Barris' XPAK 400 had appeared in a Twilight Zone ep, but according to Examiner.com it appeared in Alfred Hitchcock Presents. I guess it was one of the more sci-fi oriented episod ... |

This makes two films based on 20,000 Leagues currently in the works. What do you want to bet only one (or less) makes it to your neighborhood screen?

Glad you saw that. I'm totally envious that you got to meet the man and score those.

This poster seems to be one of Frank Frazetta's less-well known poster creations, in spite of the fact that it was for such an iconic film. Even impawards.com, which is usually good about crediting ar ... |

It is unusual for a Frazetta, but the flying vulture instantly signaled to me it was a Frazetta. I'd never noticed he did this poster, either. Here's a link to a nice digitized version of the whole po ... |

No, it's just you. This is the worst Bat-suit ever.
I have to beg to differ. I don't have a photo, but that 1940s Batman costume takes it. It might not show in a still, but when he moved his head ar ... |
