    RIP Jean Beaudin, Quebec film and TV series director. Les Filles de Caleb is one of the greatest tv series Quebec ever created, masterfully directed and still very watchable.

    I can never understand the dislike of Timelash, there are far worse episodes IMO.

    At the end of the day, it's all just opinion. Just like when Genesis Of The Daleks was voted the best DW story of all time. I don't even think Genesis is the best Dalek story, never mind best story. It's good, but it's not THAT good. Same goes for Timelash, generally considered to be the worst, I don't agree there either.

    I like Genesis of the Daleks the key scenes are great though admittedly some of the parts that lead up to key scenes are plodding, the story could have been trimmed down.

    Billy Drago as Frank Nitti was one of the highlights of 1987's 'The Untouchables'
    Despite what he did to Sean Connery. Wonderful performance from Drago. RIP.

    Billy Drago R. I. P.

    He was a very convincing slimeball and slippery character with some good credits to his name including Pale Rider and several Chuck Norris films. He was an instantly recognisable character from my youth, he also appeared in a Michael Jackson video alongside Michael Madson, Chris Tucker and Marlon Brando.

    Mad Magazine. It's going to continue as a reprint magazine but will no longer publish new material.
    Mad magazine, a US institution famous for the grinning face of jug-eared, tiny-eyed mascot Alfred E Neuman, is to stop being a regular fixture of newsstands.

    The satirical magazine will no longer be published monthly with new material from the autumn, its owners DC Comics said. Instead there will be end-of-year specials and magazines with classic and best-of content which will be sold in comic shops and direct to subscribers.

    Mad has featured several James Bond spoofs.

    RIP this autumn to MAD. Thanks for the laughs.

    That's Crazy! I mean, that's Madness.

    I'll stand by for the Mad book that collects the Bond content from across the years. It's priceless stuff.
