Watching Andor season 2 and are my eyes deceiving me, or are there 2 Tenctonese women sitting behind Cassian? Are the newcomers from Alien Nation from the Star Wars Universe?

I was watching a halloween episode of The Fall Guy this morning, and it went by fast, but I swear they used this shot from SUSPIRIA (1977) in the opening. The episode also featured Elvira and all of the Carradines.

A few random negative movie thoughts of the day:
I don't like that "Padawan" is a term that gets used as slang in movies and TV shows.
Blue Crush is kinda ruined by the cheesy green screen shot at the end.
The Monkey would've made for a better horror anthology episode than a full-length feature.

Vice Squad (1982) might be a better movie than Hollywood Vice Squad (1986), but HVS is more entertaining and has a better cast. Just sayin'...

I finally watched THE SUBSTANCE this week, and I have to admit. I liked the original with Michael Keaton better.

I always miss my pal Robert Cobert this time of year. Around xmas in 2018, I cold called him to ask if I could interview him for a book. We chatted for 20 minutes before I even told him who I was & why I was calling. He had the most contagious laugh. It was the 1st of many great calls. Miss you Bob.

Cannibal Ferox / Zombie (1998)
I bought this for the Frizzi music at a horror con in 98, but the real treat are the tribute tracks by rokOPERA. Some of them have a wonderful cool smooth jazziness that land on the right side of cheesy. A quintessential part of the origin story of Scored to Death.

Vulgar Display of Power (1992)
May not be their best (in some people's opinion), but it was my introduction to the band. I had never heard anything quite that hard/heavy before. On a side note, when I saw them live in 1999, young teen boys screamed like girls at Beatles concerts.

Sinatra at the Sands (1966)
One of the greatest live albums of all-time. Frank, Quincy Jones & Count Basie...how can you go wrong. Frank is in fine form and the band sounds huge and amazing. Frank never swung harder than he did with Basie.

Roller (1976)
One of the band's only non-soundtrack albums, it was the follow-up to their wildly successful Profondo Rosso soundtrack and features the quintessential Goblin line-up & sound. Desert Island disc material, IMHO.
