Good afternoon, gentle readers, and welcome to The Daily Grindhouse!

How's your Hump Day going?

Apologies for not getting this post up earlier today, but I was involved in my volunteer work.  That's the reason that I, instead, put up what I call a 'recovered review' -- one I'd done a few years back for my time as an Amazon.com Top 1,000 Reviewer -- focused on 2013's Knights Of Badassdom.  I knew I'd have some time this afternoon, but I hate letting a morning slip by without something on the MainPage at SciFiHistory.Net.  So ... you're welcome ... but here's the real nitty gritty that folks show up for in this space on a regular basis.

But anyway ... how's your Hump Day going?  Here's hoping it's shaping up to be one of the best Hump Days you've ever experienced!

I've often said that I find it a very weird experience to know just how deeply the voice of James Earl Jones has ingrained itself into the galaxy far, far away, and yet audiences have never seen his face up in the lights!  It's this huge narrative disconnect -- on an artistic level, only -- and I think it demonstrates just how pitch perfect his work has been and continues to be up to this day.  While never even appearing under the suit, his tones embody Darth Vader -- the ultimate Dark Lord of the Sith -- like no one else could've done; and I can't even begin to imagine what the Emperor's right hand man could've been like with someone else heading the dialogue.

Happy birthday, Mr. Jones!

​I know, I know, I know ... what you really want is the link ... and I'm only too happy to provide:

As always, thanks for reading ... thanks for sharing ... thanks for being a fan ... and live long and prosper!
