About out the door to do four hours of work, then off to the airport to catch my flight to Houston. (Going to Dallas on Friday.) So last MotD for a week. Enjoy!

Getting ready to leave tomorrow for Houston and ultimately suburban Dallas. Whew! This looks familiar. Is it a recycled American cover? The only argument against it is that I've looked at a bunch of these covers and they rarely feature (sexy) women, which was comparatively rare for the American pulps. Still love this stuff,…

This picture itself is a spoiler, so...sorry. We had a small (but great) crowd on Friday's Watch Party, so I picked something short and sweet.

Following the debacle of Things (which I’ve always argued should be called “Stuff,” since its one of those plotless, one damn thing after another pictures), things got better. Of course, they pretty much had to. So I’ll amend that statement. Things got significantly better. That’s because GalaxyJane choose a Pam Grier movie, Friday Foster.…
