Monster of the Day #3158

Black gloves and caterpillars?!  Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! Also, in case you’re wondering, that’s castor oil. So it is pretty gross.

  • Gamera977

    Well, if she’s feeding him castor oil I hope she moves that barrel underneath him….

    Btw just saw the passing of Mira Furlan, aka Ambassador Delenn on Babylon 5 at the too young age of 65. Damn, I had the biggest crush on her back when B5 was on the air. Beautiful woman and gee-friggen’-whiz what a sexy accent…

  • We just lost Cloris Leachman too. Frau Blucher herself.

  • Eric Hinkle

    Frau Blucher, Hydia the Witch, did she ever play a pleasant person?

    Auf wiedersehn, Frau Blucher. (Neeeeigh!)

    Of course, it should be Witches’ Tales, not Witches Tales.

  • Eric Hinkle

    A bit OT but has anyone else heard about Amazon’s great idea for how to ‘do’ their Tolkien/LoTR adaptation? Basically the plan is ‘just like Game of Thrones, but more so’.

    I really hope the people who told me this heard them wrong.

  • Ken_Begg

    And it’s the most expensive TV show ever! Nothing can possibly go wrong!

  • Gamera977

    Yeah, it sounds pretty ghastly. I mean didn’t Martin say ‘The Song of Ice and Fire’ was an intentional deconstruction of Tolkien?

  • Ken_Begg

    Until the last several seasons, when the TV adaptation turned into a (unintentional?) deconstruction of George R. R. Martin. I just don’t know who these Hollywood studios think their audience is. How many viewers did the Lord of the Rings movies have compared to Game of Thrones? So which one should you emulate?

  • Eric Hinkle

    I’ve also heard that the Tolkien series will have sex scenes put into it. Because that’s one of the ‘weaknesses’ of the original work that needs ‘correcting’.

  • Yes, she replaced Charlotte Ray on the Facts of Life as the older mother figure to the girls (admittedly adult women by that point) and took in a young Mackenzie Astin when they needed to add back some kid appeal to the show. Pretend I don’t know this, ok?
