Monster of the Day

A no-brainer.* And still my favorite production of A Man For All Seasons. [*See yesterday's MotD.] Man, this was a great run of Doctor Who. The gothic horror shows were especially tremendous.

Worst Marco Polo player ever.

Back to life!  I hope everyone had a wonderful couple of weeks while I was down in Texas.

Nice design, although a bit redundant. The series already had a skeleton-faced knife-wielder. I never saw this guy, so he must come from a later entry. Jester was the last of the major puppets, but he never really did anything directly, so I couldn't really find a picture of him that was all that…

Since I'll be on Texas Hiatus as of Wednesday, might as well continue with Puppet Master.

That's a pretty sweet design. The shot was much better composed than this, a nice widescreen shot (to emphasize the small size of the puppet, probably). I cut it down to focus on this fellow more.

Oh, this is the best bit!* [*Do you see what I did there?]

Well, that sucks.* [*Ken Begg, the Oscar Wilde of the 21st Century.]

Sadly, the puppet I most closely resemble. aka, Marlon Brando, the Later Years.

We've never really given Charles Band enough love on these pages, so let's pay a little homage to that fine gent, who gave us many, many hours of cheezy enjoyment in the '80s.
