It’s a bumper issue of Et Al., featuring everyone from Laurence Olivier to Chuck Norris, and from Bette Davis to Melody Anderson; but all the star-power in the world means nothing compared to the fact that at the last, Lyz is driven to – ulp! – defend the Odious Comic Relief….

“Boroff,” I get why that’s cute. But “Carfax” I do not. Enlighten me, please, Ms. Kingsley?

Does it say something bad about Chuck Norris’s mental state that he stopped working with Cannon after Hero and the Terror and not Firewalker?

Yes, thanks, Keith. SOS Coast Guard was made during the thirties horror ban, when both Boris and Bela were forced to look elsewhere for work. “Boroff” certainly suggests they had Boris in mind to start with; but then “Carfax” suggests they were content with who they got.

Ah. Haven’t read the book or seen the movie in a long time, and I forgot that. Thank you!

Now look buddy, are you gonna buy this Lionel train set or not?
He was a hard drinkin’, hard fightin’, hard lovin’ son of a gun, but the thing he loved most was the twinkle in a kid’s eye when he sold them a Radio Flyer wagon.

Did you realize that The Girl Of The Golden West was also an opera by Puccini?

That much, yes, but I have no idea how much of Puccini was left after J&N got through with him.
