“Get Smart” Straight to DVD Spin-Off

At the same time as Get Smart debuts in theaters, we’ll get a spin-off on DVD featuring 2 of the semi-main characters. This is an interesting approach, and if successful, I could see more plans like this. Read more

Lost’s Plan Forward

Both Prison Break and BSG at one time announced the basic outline for the completion of the show (although Prison Break seems to have changed their mind). Recently, the show runners, Lindelof and Cuse, have announced similar plans for Lost. Read more

Lost, after Eggtown

Every episode this season Lost has given us more pieces to the puzzle. Eggtown was definitely one of them. Even though future-Kate was a little dry, they still provided a good episode. By the way, I discuss spoilers because the “mystery” spoilers don’t bother me.

Review: Knight Rider

Overall, it was good, but far from great. It wasn’t as bad as Bionic Woman, but not even close to BSG. Then again, the BSG “pilot” wasn’t astounding.

Spongebob actors do a “mad movie” on Classics

Spongebob Squarepants is the 21st century version of Bugs Bunny. I can’t help but watch it with my kids every time it is on. The quick wit and innocent humor is enjoyable for young and old alike. Read more

What Ever Happend To Rusty Miller?

In 1982 we all wanted to be Rusty Miller. He was only 11 years old, and he had an authorized LucasFilm book, “The Jedi Master’s Quizbook”. I was 11 myself at the time, and had my own “quizbook” that I had roughly put together with my friend Doug. It was a rough compilation of questions we asked each other to try to stump one another. But Rusty had his published. Star Wars was a huge part of every 11 to 15 year old boys life in the early 80s.

One would think that Rusty Miller, now in 36/37 years old, would be an Internet celebrity geek for his early success. When the “Star Wars Page at Texas A&M” debuted (now theforce.net, it was the most popular (and nearly only) website for Star Wars fans. I would have expected Rusty to flock to it, to be found by leagues of fans who at one time wanted to be him. Also, when “the prequels” finally were released, what an opportunity to develop yet another quizbook and capitalized on previous fame. But Rusty is still unknown.

Where is Rusty Miller? He doesn’t even have a wikipedia entry. He was to the 1980s fandom as Kevin Rubino was to the 1990s. Rusty, where are you?

Update:
My post inspired another post, and eventually StarWars.com found Rusty!.
