He talks his victims to death.

Tommy Wiseau? Just kidding. I know but the name is not rattling free from the memory cells.

Jonathan Banks should totally play Trump in a movie or something

Yeah, but you hang 'round with her, even just meet her ONCE, and you run the risk of being murdered.
âHi, Iâm your late husbandâs second cousinâs twice-removed niece!â (itâs her only line; imagine that on your resume)
Have you ever seen âThe Mirror Crackâdâ with Ms. Lansbury as Miss Marple? Itâs campier than the Helen Hayes version, I think in part because Liz Taylor, Kim Novak, Rock Hudson, and Tony Curtis are also in it, lol.

I have! My favourite part is when they show the look on Taylorâs face when she recognized the murder victim to-be.

You know how in normal cop shows, they skip over the hundreds of hours that the characters spend sitting in the unmarked car watching the warehouse to see if the bad guys show up?

I nearly flagged for suggesting that Jonathan Banks should play Trump⌠

And the entire story is based upon the real-life situation of Gene Tierney!

Continuing my recent nostalgia trend, currently watching one I saw mentioned in a âgood stuff in Disney+â article and said âOh, yeah, Iâve got that one in my collection already, I oughta to back and watch that againâŚâ
Looooong time since I last saw it, and I remember thinking at the time that the book was much better. But, since itâs been even longer since I read the booksâŚ

For a long time I thought that movie was based on one of Alexander Keyâs earlier novels, maybe The Forgotten Door; theyâd re-written it to be more cinematic; and the book was a novelization of the film
Wikipedia presents the alternate hypothesis that Escape to Witch Mountain was a pre-existing work, but basically Key was writing the same âtelepathic alien kidâ book over and over

Interesting. I never read any others by the same author, so I didnât see any comparisons.
To be fair, I think it may have been a pretty common young-adult plot for the time period. And, of course, it had to be Disneyfied, or else how would it possibly keep childrenâs interest?!?
Heh, as Disney as some of these old movies are, they still can have some pointsâŚ
âLook out the window, go on. Look as far as you can see. Mr. Bolt owns everything in sight.â
âWell, I can see the sky.â

At this point Iâd have to go look it up to confirm that E.T. wasnât also based on the same book

If it had been, I think the sequel (to E.T., I mean) would have taken a very different direction. Wow, that book was both both exceedingly strange, and awesomeâŚ

IIRC, the Star Wars prequels got novelizations. But, then, I suppose even that is dating things a bit (ohgodIfeelold).

Finished watching⌠as nostalgia trips go, this wasnât bad at all. Definitely an old Disney kidâs show, but fun. Thereâs a portion towards the end thatâs a bit Wile-E-Coyote/Bedknobs and Broomsticks, but still cute. And special effects werenât too bad for the time.
⌠Ending was kinda abrupt, though. Little odd not to have at least some of the credits coming at the end of the show.
Reading the Wikipedia article, Iâm reminded that at the time I was put off by the change in the main characters⌠from âolive skinnedâ to fair-skinned blonds. Iâm sure there were other differences, but that one definitely sticks out for me - they didnât look at all like Iâd imagined while reading.

I never missed an episode.
And Automan but Manimal was the stronger of the two.
