Night of the Comet ~ on dvd

This is one of the movies that you, the TSC legion of Zombie Doom simply have to own, and I don't want to hear any mumbly "braaaaiinns" arguments out you either.  The burden of civilization is upon us, so prepare and get Thom Eberhart's brilliant masterpiece: Night of the Comet. The thing has the best ending ever ... and Catherine Mary Stewart ...  Woooba Wooo!

RIP Janet Van Dyne (The Wasp)

Caroline Munro in Star Crash (1978)

Speaking of Caroline Munro in The Spy Who Loved Me, she almost got the big break she deserved playing intergalactic bounty huntress Stella Star in an epic Retro Sci Fi film called Star Crash. But it wasn't a big-budgeted Hollywood or British film, it's Spaghetti Sci Fi.

Here is the wonderful Caroline Munro roaming the galaxy the way the galaxy ought to be roamed in the trailer for Star Crash ::

Sidebar Babe :: Amanda Tapping

Okay Sidebar Babe fans, time to show your Sidebar Babe expertise by naming the first Sidebar Babe of Fall 2007. She is an easily recognizable TSC multi-babe who just happens to be our perennial Fourth of July Sidebar Babe (even though she isn't an American {first and only hint- c'mon this's a cinch.}).

She's shown here demonstrating her fetching, early MegRyanesque. look.

The first person or avatar or pseudonym or whatever who guesses the right name in the comments first  ...  weeeeeell, happy day! Because, as always, our lucky, first-namer's name will be thrown into Tom Ender's cowboy hat (figuratively speaking) and entered into the drawing to win a TSC logo item, that some poor bastard still has to design... jeeez!

Okay .......        ........  no .......... ............. not yet ............... ............ NOW!!!!

Supergirl: A disappointing debut

So my wife and I were both curious enough about the TV debut of Supergirl on Smallville this past week to tune in the season opener. We haven't watched the show in a few years. I'm not sure what Deb's real reasons were for watching on Thursday; mine are pretty damn obvious. Anyway, what we got instead of a full-on debut of Laura Vandervoort were a few mere glimpses. They were disappointing. Heck, Supergirl never even spoke, and the longest moment with her was maybe 20 seconds of her sitting on a mountaintoip or something, looking pensive.

Judging by the previews for this coming week's episode, it looks like we'll get our real Supergirl debut on October 4. My fingers are crossed.

Blood, Beasts and Breasts

Hey, I don't care about Shakespeare and Dostoevsky and all those guys. I want BLOOD, BEASTS and BREASTS.

Here you got yer breasts, and the blood and the beasts are off stage, left to the imagination. And that is okay.

Always Kinda Liked Julie Newmar...

Probably the first time I saw Julie Newmar was in an episode of the original Twilight Zone. She played some sort of a devil, if I remember correctly.

Her biggest role, though, was as Catwoman in Batman.

I always liked her because she had those long dancer legs. Her mom used to be a dancer, too, which I guess is where she got them from.

Sidebar Babe :: Anne Francis

Here we go with another scintillating episode of "Guess the The Sudden Curve Sidebar Babe!"  Here we present one of our very first and original Sidebar Babes from the Sidebar Babe Archives.  She is a four time solo sidebar featurette and has shown up in various other locations in this publication over the years ... so this should be a snap.

Remember to provide a genuine email address with the correct answer identifying this week's SideBar Babe if you want to be entered into the drawing to win whatever it is we decide to give away to the winner, uhm, however we decide to determine who the winner will be who'll get the whatever -  Okaaaaaay .................

Armed and Dangerous, Music Video, Space Babe :: Joi Lansing

Wow, gorgeous Joi Lansing is a TRIPLE threat TSC babe!

You know, I used to watch the amazing Joi Lansing on Love That Bob! which was the rerun version of The Bob Cummings Show... although that was when it was on Nik at Nite in the 1980's.

But I do remember her as a regular on The Beverly Hillbillies as Lester Scruggs' wife... or was she Earl Flatt's wife?  Oh well, I guess it doesn't really matter.  All she ever did was look slinky and go shopping - once I seem to remember that Granny tried to teach her to cook, but I don't think it worked.

Joi, a former Miss Hollywood and a Goldwyn Girl and a rival of Marlyn Monroe really was a pretty good actress and all around entertainer who was a very popular and successful blonde bombshell right at the time blonde bombshells dropped out of favor in movies.  Suddenly she had to make a living modeling polka-dot bikinis ~ something she did exceptionally well, woof!  She was part of the swanky world of Frank Sinatra in the 50's and worked steadily throughout the 60's as a television and stage performer and she became one of the most popular pin-ups of American soldiers in Viet Nam.

 

Here she is vamping it up and singing the  Elmer Bernstein title song from The Silencers - which, coincidentally, happens to be one of our favorite movies starring the great Dean Martin (who costarred with Joi in at least two movies) as super spy Matt Helm. Although in the movie the song is sung by Cyd Charisse.

posted by Tom Novak, who says Joi is a space babe in Queen of Outer Space, a movie so bad it's good.
