FUTUREWORLD (1976) Dir. Richard T. Heffron
An oft forgotten sequel to Westworld that pushes the idea further with cloning added to the nightmare. Once again it is not the machines but the men behind them who are the real villains. Some things never change, and that is the point. 🎞️📽️

Does anyone besides me remember what one scene they cut out of BREAKING AWAY when NBC aired it two weeks after the Oscars? I was 9 at the time and still spotted it.

when i was a 16yo girl i thought i was an adult. coaching 12-17yo girls as a 28yo really hammered home how much i was wrong about being an adult at 16 and how obvious it is to actual adults that a 16yo is not an adult. if they say they cannot tell they are lying because they are a creep.

A prosecutor tries to frame a police chief for murder, but it doesn’t stick. Now they must work the case together. This crackerjack premise is the brainchild of Richard Wormser, a very underrated noir author. THE BODY LOOKS FAMILIAR finds him at his sharpest and most perceptive. Highly recommended.

They're both consistently hilarious, but the few times when Patty shows some emotional vulnerability just absolutely wreck me. She's my favorite Peanuts character by far.

I like to think of ^that^ Jan 2, 2000 strip as the LAST Peanuts comic.The half a dozen new comics that followed it (Sundays only) just aren't as funny or impactful or poetic - but this one from Jan 9, 2000 is a sweet high note:

Here's the full comic, from January 2, 2000. It was the last strip that featured Peppermint Patty, arguably Peanuts greatest character. Schulz died six weeks after it was published. It's perfection.

My favourite beginning to a 1970s TV mystery drama of the week. Going by their smugness and the title of the story, that’s them both dying horribly at the end then.

Originally The Bar-Kays were going to enter the L.A. Coliseum riding in horse-drawn chariots. However, when the executives of Stax Records heard this they didn't want the group to do it was so that they wouldn't upstage the concert's headliner, Isaac Hayes.

(Not that I'm suggesting this led to his invention of the #87thPrecinct, because this adaptation was in 1957 when at least three books in the series were already available. It's possible that he selected the play for the group, becoming their chairman the following year.)

To reveal a tidbit of my #EdMcBain research - Evan Hunter sometimes performed in amateur dramatics productions. As part of the Pound Ridge Players, he appeared as Charlie The Burglar in their adaptation of Kingsley's Detective Story.
I just rewatched William Wyler's Detective Story--it's based on a 1949 Sidney Kingsley play that ran for 15 months on Broadway with, insanely, a cast of 34. NY really needs an Encores series devoted to unrevivable plays, which this is, even though it basically invented the police-precinct TV drama.
