Impure Thoughts

Everyone remembers Tom Selleck's 80s-era pornstache, but how many people know or remember that Jameson Parker also rocked one in Prince of Darkness? (Which in my opinion is one of the most under-appreciated films of the genre.) Unlike Selleck's 'stache (who I never really got off on) seeing Mr. Jameson's even after all these years still makes me weak in the knees.

Limitless is apparently on the fence in regards to being renewed for a second season. I hope it makes the cut, because in addition to it being a fun show it would be a shame if we didn't get to see cute Jake McDorman's hot scruff every week.

Check Ignition and May God's Love Be With You

RIP David Bowie, 1947-2016

Ground Control to Major Tom
Ground Control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground Control to Major Tom (Ten, Nine, Eight, Seven, Six)
Commencing countdown, engines on (Five, Four, Three)
Check ignition and may God's love be with you (Two, One, Liftoff)

This is Ground Control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
"This is Major Tom to Ground Control
I'm stepping through the door
And I'm floating in a most peculiar way
And the stars look very different today
For here
Am I sitting in a tin can
Far above the world
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do

Though I'm past one hundred thousand miles
I'm feeling very still
And I think my spaceship knows which way to go
Tell my wife I love her very much she knows
Ground Control to Major Tom
Your circuit's dead, there's something wrong
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you hear me, Major Tom?
Can you "Here am I floating round my tin can
Far above the Moon
Planet Earth is blue
And there's nothing I can do."

Impure Thoughts

I was going to write a short review of the first part of SyFy's Childhood's End today, but while watching it again this morning I was distracted by how well Mike Vogel's beautiful ass does cowboy boots and skinny jeans.

Just sayin', Mike. Just sayin'.

That being said, what I can say so far is that I'm not at all disappointed with what I've seen. My biggest fear was that SyFy was going to totally screw up one of the most iconic and revered stories in science fiction. While it's not a word-for-word adaptation of Clark's original material, they seem to have done an admirable job of moving the 60 year-old material into the 21st century while staying true to the author's vision. There are a few differences so far between screen and book (mainly the role of the character played by Mr. Vogel and the span-of-time between the Overlords' arrival and their physical reveal), but these changes still work, (you wouldn't even know if you hadn't read the book) and I liken the overall feel to how the network rebooted Battlestar Galactica.
