[scifinoir2] "Outer Limits" Marathon on SyFy

[Keith Johnson]

SyFy is running an "Outer Limits" marathon right now. They're running the eps 
from the second series from the '90s, not the original black-and-white eps. I 
will say, I always enjoyed this series. Unlike "Twilight Zone", Outer Limits 
seemed to me to have a higher quality remake. "Zone" was very hit-and-miss in 
both its reincarnations, but "Limits" was in the main very enjoyable. Perhaps 
it's because Limits tended to be more straightforward scifi, where Zone dealt 
with supernatural as well? Or maybe no one could do it as well as Serling? 

At any rate, they've shown some good ones so for. The one on now starts with a 
demonic looking teddy bear pulling a little boy under his bed into limbo. Gotta 
admit: that little toy with its glowing red eyes was downright creepy!

New Line has grabbed a pitch for just such a re-imagining of THE NUTCRACKER AND 
THE MOUSE KING, based on Tchaikovsky' s
 famous music and E.T.A. Hoffman's dark fantasy story about a young girl 
whisked away to the Land of Toys to help her animated nutcracker defeat the 
seven-headed Mouse King. Okay, that's actually wild enough to make a trippy

The update comes from writer Darren Lante, who already played with fair-game 
fairy tales with Bryan Singer's project JACK THE GIANT KILLER and SHREK FOREVER 
AFTER.

Re: [scifinoir2] "Outer Limits" Marathon on SyFy

[Keith Johnson]

Sorry you missed it. Good shows.  You know, I realize how much i miss good 
scifi anthology series. One problem I have with all the shows on the tube 
now--good and bad--is that it's the same universe week after week. Shows like 
Outer Limits, Twilight Zone, etc., created completely new worlds each week, 
with different subject matter and different actors. Just in the brief marathon 
I saw today, I got to enjoy Rebecca DeMornay, John Savage, Timothy Bussfield, 
and a host of character actors from all over the place.  Really miss that 
format 



And, there's a decent ep of "Enterprise" on now.  It was toward the end of the 
Xindi storyline, where some of the shows were actually not bad at all. After 
the time travel foolishness (the exploding sphere, then Archer's in a 
Nazi-occupied NYC???) the show got much better.

Kewl! I wonder if Segar was behind some of those later toons suggesting popeye 
was growing weed? Also loved Popeye, from the old, old black and white ones, to 
the beautifully colored ones by Max Fleischer with the 3D look backgrounds 
(Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves are two of those), and 
even later, the more simplistically drawn but still fun ones from Chuck Jones, 
that featured the likes of Sea Hag, Eugene the Jeep, the crazy sound effects.

E.C. Segar: Why Popeye popped onto Google’s homepage Popeye, the 
spinach-gulping sailor, celebrates E.C. Segar on Google today.

By Chris Gaylord | 12.08.09
 


 
Newscom/WENN.com

Here's Popeye back in his Thimble Theatre days. Tuesday is cartoonist E.C. 
Segar's 115th birthday.




Photo Gallery: Famous grouchesE.C. Segar, the man behind Popeye the Sailor, 
received an appropriately raucous birthday message from Google Tuesday. Its 
home page features the husky hero smacking around Google’s logo and about to 
swallow a quick serving of his favorite meal, canned spinach.


Today marks what would be the American cartoonist’s 115th birthday.
Elzie Crisler Segar grew up in Illinois and quickly took to drawing. While 
holding down a job as a film projectionist and background percussionist at a 
local theater, he pursued cartooning through a correspondence course.


Segar eventually moved to Chicago and created the Thimble Theatre cartoon strip 
in 1919. After nearly 10 years of Olive Oyl and others gracing its panels, the 
series introduced a new character – a balding sailor with a perpetually shut 
eye, anchor tattoos, preposterous forearms, and a curious vocabulary.


Popeye soon outgrew the Thimble Theatre, earning his own cartoon strip, 
animated series, and live-action movie starring Robin Williams.
The spinach-gulping mariner is the latest in a long line of Google Doodles. 
Recent highlights include clay duo Wallace and Gromit, H.G. Wells’s mysterious 
UFOs, and a week’s worth of Sesame Street favorites.


Do you like Google’s new retro logo style? Upset that the lovely Olive Oyl is 
MIA? Let us know in the comments or join the conversation on Twitter.

But the most compelling evidence of all - 3 proofs that Jesus
was a woman: 

1. He fed a crowd
at a moment's notice when there was virtually no food.

2. He kept trying
to get a message across to a bunch of men who just didn't get it.

3. And even when
He was dead, He had to get up because there was still work to do.





 Can I get an AMEN!!

McDonald's Around The World: Marvels Never Cease, Especially in Asia

If you think McDonald's sells the same burgers and fries everywhere in the 
world, think again – here in Asia they’ve had to make some concessions to local 
tastes and come up with some peculiar fast-food variations on Asian favourites.


It all started with the Samurai Pork Burger. I saw this advertised outside a 
McDonald's in Bangkok back in 2004 and was somewhat perplexed. Why is it a 
Japanese name when I’m in Thailand? And what do Samurai have to do with pork? 
Actually, why is it called Samurai at all? Sadly, I never actually found out 
any of the answers, but it made me start paying closer attention to McDonald's 
every time I went to another country in Asia.




(Samurai Pork Burger, Bangkok, Thailand (left) and Thai Spicy Fish McDippers 
(right) - photos via)

Perhaps more traditional for Thailand, the Thai Spicy Fish McDippers (image 
above right) are a piscine breadcrumb and chili overload. Incidentally, don’t 
actually expect to eat your fast food in Thailand fast – you will inevitably be 
handed your burger but have to wait five minutes for your fries, which will be 
dutifully brought to you – by which time, of course, you’ve eaten your burger…


In Singapore, the national obsession with rice extends to having rice cakes in 
your burger. 



(Rice Burgers, Singapore)

I expected lots of interesting stuff in a Japanese McDonald's – McTentacles 
perhaps – but the menu was disappointingly ordinary. 


Although there were these – Seaweed Flavoured Fries. Also, see below-right: the 
tasty tentacle snack from Japan. Yum.




In Hong Kong, I nearly got arrested for taking this photo of the Green Tea and 
Red Bean Ice Cream Sundae. Didn’t realise they guarded their secret bean recipe 
quite so zealously.



(Green Tea And Red Bean Sundae, Hong Kong)

In Indonesia, as the world’s largest Muslim country, chicken is far more 
popular than beefburgers (and, of course, the Samurai Pork Burger would be 
completely taboo). Hence you get combo sets of chicken, rice and Coke:




Chicken, Rice and Coke, Jakarta, Indonesia 

Perhaps my biggest WTF moment (Weird and Troubling Food, naturally) in a 
McDonald's was in the Philippines, when I spotted the clotted mess that is 
McSpaghetti. (McDo indeed). My Filipino friends explained to me that it was 
incredibly popular and basically consisted of spaghetti soaked in sugar. E.


Let me repeat this: Spaghetti - Soaked In - Sugar!.



McSpaghetti, Philippines 

I also seem to remember that when I first went to Australia in 2003, there was 
a Billabong Burger that had tinned beetroot between two patties. Sadly (or 
perhaps thankfully), I don’t have any photographic evidence, though it tasted 
as grim as it sounds. There was also a similar one called McOz with only one 
patty (plus the tinned beetroot that is ubiquitous in Australia – fresh 
beetroot isn’t nearly as popular).



Spam, Spam, Spam, Eggs, Bacon, and Spam

David Gardner shares his experience: "Did you know you can get Spam, eggs, and 
rice for a McDonald’s Breakfast in Honolulu? Yup. Right there on Kalakaua St 
facing Waikiki. Totally cool!"


See this classic Monty Python sketch to truly appreciate the irony.





In the middle of Moscow, on a busy Arbat street, you can get a take-out for 
your horse:








Big Macs are a Big Unknown in Chongqing, China

My most memorable experience of McDonald's in Asia, however, is stumbling onto 
a MaccyDs in Chongqing, China. I’d just completed an excruciating trip up the 
Three Gorges on an overloaded passenger boat that played earsplitting soap 
operas the entire journey, and I was in need of comfort food. Chongqing is a 
vast city with a mind-boggling 31,000,000 inhabitants – and that’s just the 
official figure. Arriving there just as dusk began to fall was somewhat 
intimidating to say the least. Things were not helped when I arrived at the 
front of the McDonald's queue dishevelled and hungry, and found, much to my 
horror, that the universally understood phrase of “Big Mac” was not understood 
here.


Managers were summoned despite (or perhaps because of) my increasingly strident 
pointing at the overhead menu, until a Chinese teenager behind me stepped up 
and got me exactly what I wanted in 20 seconds flat. He spoke a little English, 
and I could tell he wanted to practice so I invited my culinary rescuer to join 
me and we had a great, if slow conversation about his life in Chongqing. 
“Chongqing is great”, he said. “But I wan

SyFy is running an "Outer Limits" marathon right now. They're running the eps 
from the second series from the '90s, not the original black-and-white eps. I 
will say, I always enjoyed this series. Unlike "Twilight Zone", Outer Limits 
seemed to me to have a higher quality remake. "Zone" was very hit-and-miss in 
both its reincarnations, but "Limits" was in the main very enjoyable. Perhaps 
it's because Limits tended to be more straightforward scifi, where Zone dealt 
with supernatural as well? Or maybe no one could do it as well as Serling?
At any rate, they've shown some good ones so for. The one on now starts with a 
demonic looking teddy bear pulling a little boy under his bed into limbo. Gotta

I'm a big fan of the outer limits old and remake. I'm happy that the series
was made and wish they would bring it back with the remake crew for another
10 years.

The Xindi alternate timeline on Enterprise was pretty good. It even
influenced a video game from it. (although the game wasn't good)

Re: [scifinoir2] "Outer Limits" Marathon on SyFy

[Keith Johnson]

Yeah, the clip shows they used to connect completely disparate eps of Outer 
Limits were an abomination. I remember them trying to connect the ep about the 
lady who traveled through time to kill future criminals. There's also an older 
actor, a very slim man who guest starred in a couple of eps. They tried to 
weave his shows in too. In fact, I completely skipped the series finale, where 
Charleton Heston and others have some kind of trial. What was up with that? 



Gosh, i'm really missing anthology shows! I'm getting really nostalgic, 
thinking about everything from Alfred Hitchcok Presents, to Creepshow, from 
Friday the 13th to A Touch of Evil, Tales from the Darkside to Amazing Stories. 
Not all were great shows, but I miss the concept.

Ditto on Outer Limits. The two Twilight Zone remakes had their moments, but 
quality was more haphazard. Again, they never got a showrunner/writer of 
Serling's abilities. 



I tired of time travel stories, arguably the single most overused plotline in 
all of Trekdom. Not that I'm against time travel, mind you: "Yesterday's 
Enteprise" was one of my favs, as was the "Enterprise" ep where Archer lost his 
memory in a future where Earth had been destroyed by the Xindi. I loved the 
William Frakes-directed ep where the Enterprise got stuck in a time loop where 
it was destroyed over and over again. "City on the Edge of Forever" is a 
well-deserved classic.  But Rick Berman and Brannon Braga used time travel so 
damn much I got sick of it, especially when they expanded the theme to whole 
story arcs, instead of just as good standalone eps.

I think of it as an experiment. They could have used it a little more wisely
though. I enjoyed the idea of traveling to different points in alternate
futures to see the subtle hints in the background. It reminded me of the
Bishop subplot on the Xmen tv show.

[scifinoir2] It's Complicated

[Kelwyn]

http://blackplush.blogspot.com/2009/12/its-complicated.html

"It's Complicated" is the title of a new Meryl Streep movie and a succinct 
synopsis of the dilemma facing actresses of a certain age.  Meryl Streep is 
sixty and, while she continues to age beautifully, you are not impressed in the 
same way you are when someone mentions that Diane Keaton is 63 or that Dame 
Helen Mirren is 64 (and still posing in bikinis).  In other words, no 
exclamation points will ensue.  Still, like Scott Baio being "46 and pregnant," 
Meryl Steep  headlining movies at 60 years of age is both remarkable and 
noteworthy.  

Not only is Meryl Streep starring in movies, she is starring in blockbusters.  
Her last three movies have a combined worldwide box office of $777 million, and 
that includes the rather paltry $50 million "Doubt" brought in.

Doubt was great..Streep's performance left me pretty awestruck.
