One thing that never fails to make me giggle, no matter how many hundreds of times I've seen "Comes a Horseman," is Kronos' odd taste in aliases. Melvin? That's our boy, the End of Time and the President of the Chess Club.

How did I manage to forget this? Melvin? MELVIN?

Then again, have you seen the actor in "The Last of the Blonde Bombshells" which stars Dame Judy Dench? He's all geeky glasses and an accountant. :-) Melvin suits THAT Pelka just fine. :-)

Hee! He just wanted an excuse to kill more people, I think. "Hey, are you laughing at my name?" thwack!

Ooh, is he in that too? Neat, it was already on my list, but now I really need to find a copy. Accountant!Pelka sounds like fun. Apparently he's also in... what the heck is the title. The current flick where Diane Lane moves to Tuscany and gets a fabulous house and personal enlightenment and shiny highlights by embracing her inner Free Spirit (tm). He plays a Polish plumber or something. Funny image, that.

LOL! on the excuse to kill more people.

I adore "Last of the Blonde Bombshells." I seem to recall it won an Emmy too. I've seen it at least twice. Dench, Leslie Caron, Ian Holm, Olympia Dukakis, and lots more. Someday I'll get it on DVD. I *think* Pekla plays an accountant. Geeky, definitely.

Cool! on the new Diane Lane movie. I have that on my must rent list when it comes out on DVD. I do lots more renting than theater-going now that I have the DVD player and can see stuff letterboxed properly.
