Rob Schneider Or Roy Scheider?
Do you ever find yourself wondering whether it’s Rob Schneider or Roy Scheider? I know I do. And that’s why I’ve compiled a helpful guide to whether it’s Rob or Roy. But not Rob Roy. That would be stupid. Rob Schneider or Roy Scheider? Which is the one who needs a bigger boat? That’s Roy Scheider! Roy is a product of the American capitalist system. He will always need a bigger boat thanks to media conditioning. Rob Schneider or Roy Scheider? Which is the one who “thinks” there’s a link between vaccines and autism? That’s Rob Schneider! Rob has studied the effects of vaccines on children for several decades, receiving a number of degrees and doctorates along the way. Many of Rob Schneider’s studies and double blind trials have been submitted for peer review and published earning him international plaudits among the scientific community. Despite all this he still thinks there’s a link between vaccines and autism because a friend of someone’s sister who knows someone he once shared a coffee with said that someone she knows thought she heard that a doctor might have said that someone else’s child was on the autistic spectrum and that child had recently not died because it had been vaccinated against smallpox. Rob Schneider or Roy Scheider? Which is the one who got to snuggle up with a Russian cosmonaut as they performed an aerocapture manoeuvre in Jupiter’s atmosphere? That’s Roy Scheider! Lucky, lucky bastard. Obviously, it wasn’t just Roy and a Russian who got to perform the aerocapture; they simply don’t have the heat shielding for that sort of thing. The pair of them were aboard the Alexei Leonov in the 1984 movie 2010. Having read 2001, 2010, 2061, and 3001 I can only be thankful that thus far neither of the last two have been turned into movies. Good grief, that last one especially was tripe. Rob Schneider or Roy Scheider? Which is the one who starred in that movie you like but which comic book snobs seem to hate for some reason? That’s Rob Schneider! I know! Rob Schneider appearing in a film I like! What are the odds of that? The film in question is Judge Dredd and whenever I’ve asked people what they think of the film they’ve almost universally hated it. “I didn’t like Stallone.” “It wasn’t very true to the comic book.” “Someone in front of me kept getting up to use the toilet.” Whine, whine, whine. Moan, moan, moan. You’re all wrong. It was a fun movie from the eighties that captured a lot of elements from a lot of different storylines from the...
Science Fiction Fights Triple
A trio of video clips from science fiction movies featuring fight sequences. Equilibrium Christian Bale in a role where he expresses very few emotions – a bit of a stretch for him – and featuring some wonderful fight sequences, this being the last one in the movie. Forbidden Planet A classic movie notable for its iconic robot, its lovely female lead, its thought-provoking story, and its impressive special effects, the lattermost of which is highlighted in this scene where the creature from the id attacks the ship. Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan Often regarded as the best Star Trek movie and this is my favourite scene from it where Khan – in charge of the Reliant – attacks Kirk’s Enterprise. The music score from James Horner during this sequence is absolutely perfect...
French 80s Pop Triple
If someone asked you what you thought was the most perfect period in music history what would you say to them? The era of Mozart? The birth of the blues? It’s probably different for everyone and there’s no real right answer. Of course, nobody in their right mind would pick 1980s French pop and then try to justify it by pointing out that the music was quite likely deep and meaningful if you knew what was being sung and that the dancing was minimalist and so very French as to raise it above all other forms of artistic expression. And it just so happens that I’m nobody in their right mind. I dare you to enjoy these. Jeanne Mas – Toute Première Fois Jackie Quartz – Juste Une Mise Au Point Karen Cheryl – Oh Cheri Cheri Hey! She stole all my best dance...

Not So Gentle Ben
CBS show-pitching office, February, 1965. “Come in and take a seat please, Mister… let’s see… Howard? Is that right?” “Yes. Thank you, thank you.” “Well, why don’t you get right down to it then? This is the CBS show-pitching office so let’s hear your pitch for a show.” “Thank you, thank you. Sorry, I’m very nervous.” “In your own time.” “Okay, my idea is this: it’s a family show…” “What do you mean by that, exactly? A show for the family, or featuring a family?” “Oh, sorry. Yes, er, both actually. Families will love this but it’s based around the adventures of a family.” “It’s not in space, is it? Only we’ve got one we’re launching later this year with a family called the Robinsons, a robot, and an old man with a thing for the youngest kid. It’s going to be called Pederast In Space unless the censors get their way. We’re hoping it will really fuel further interest in space exploration and aid with the formation of something called NAMBLA. I can’t tell you any more than that so keep it under your hat, hush-hush, right?” “Oh, yeah, sure. No problem. Er, no, no it’s not in space. But there are some similarities.” “Similarities is good. We’re much more likely to fund a pilot if we can remove the risk of doing anything new and exciting. Go on.” “Er, well, okay, so if you replace the robot with a bear…” “I like it!” “… and space with Florida…” “That could work I suppose.” “… then, well, that’s it. It’s a family show with adventures. Mom, pop, little kid, and bear.” “Hmmm.” “Mostly the little kid and the bear.” “Better!” “It, er, could boost tourism in Florida. And interest in bears.” “Interest in bears is good. Let me write that down. Interest. In. Bears. Lovely. And did you have any idea for potential actors? Anybody in particular you see playing any of these roles?” “Well, I know it’s a bit of a cheek but… my son?” “If he’s cheap then you can be as cheeky as you like. What’s he like?” “I’ve got a picture. Here.” “Thank you, has he had any acting… Good grief! What’s wrong with his face?” “That’s just the way he looks. I’ve written some details about him here.” “Okay, let’s have a… What!? You can’t call a kid that!” “Clint?” “Clint?! Oh! Oh! Yeah, it’s written in all capitals. Now I see. Whew! Yeah, that was crazy for a few seconds there. Oh right, so he has some experience then. Okay, okay. Maybe. Why don’t we move swiftly along then? You’ve got some...
