Stardate 01.31.19.a: New Additions - Birthdays

1/31/2019

0 Comments

 
Believe it or not but every now and then a reader suggestion makes perfect sense: such is the case today because I thought it might be a good time to post a few new additions to January 31st and then highlight them on my MainPage, an area of the site which frankly I just don't give much attention.  (Honestly, it's a time issue: if I had more of it, then I'd probably do more MainPage blogging and reviewing and whatnot.)  So as I have a few extra minutes this morning, I'll just put this up here for posterity ...

The late Eddie Byrne (1911-1981) managed to squeeze in some time to squeeze Carrie Fisher with his work as 'General Willard' in the much beloved original Star Wars (1977) feature.  In this day and age, shouldn't hugs still count?  I think so, and I've added him to my listings.

I loved the BBC original Life On Mars, but I had trouble finding its follow-up, Ashes To Ashes (2008-2009) consistently on BBC America.  The lovely Amelia Bullmore enjoyed a recurring spot on the program, and I've happily added her to my listings as well.  Outside of that work and a spot in Jekyll & Hyde, it looks like she's avoided genre work.

Ah, Grant Morrison, Grant Morrison, Grant Morrison ... or is that "ugh, Grant Morrison, Grant Morrison, Grant Morrison"?  He's a hard talent to truly love -- so far as I'm concerned -- as his prose has been all over the place.  Some of it is honestly very, very good; but there's more that I haven't enjoyed nearly as much.  He's done some fabulous work with Superman and Batman -- as the critics will tell you -- though I haven't been all that fond of what he's done with some characters.  Kudos for a long and storied career in comics, my friend.

And last but not least to today's birthday additions is the particularly fetching Marta Nieto.  (Love that name, too ... Nieto ... Ni-et-o ... lovely.)  As many of her highlights on IMDB.com involved Spanish-language projects -- and as I'm uniquely unfamiliar with the language -- I can't tell you much about her save an appearance aboard The Ministry Of Time.

As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
