I'm not proud of that. <br />Clearly, I was part of the problem.<br /><br />M.P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-8965658197269571292018-07-20T18:38:57.717+01:002018-07-20T18:38:57.717+01:00Colin, I didn't know that.

I bought NOW 1 back in 1983 but my most recent NOW album was in 1998 or thereabouts. Apparently half the British population has bought at least one NOW album in the last 35 years!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6263300365798803459.post-72678577109341963852018-07-20T09:16:11.495+01:002018-07-20T09:16:11.495+01:00MP, they did have a remarkable ability to never le...MP, they did have a remarkable ability to never learn from their mistakes, that's for sure.<br /><br />TC, thanks for the Denny Miller info.<br /><br />Timothy, I remember this week's MWOM and Spider-Man issues.

And that was the year that gave us Plan 9 From Outer Space. <br /><br />It was a cheap remake of the 1932 Johnny Weissmuller classic. Most of the action scenes were stock footage from the original. Since the remake was in color and the original was in B&W, the scenes had to be tinted, making them even more unconvincing than they already were.<br /><br />Denny Miller (1934-2014) played basketball at UCLA before being discovered by a talent scout. <br /><br />He appeared in two episodes of Gilligan's Island. Which, amazingly, may have been a step up from the Tarzan movie. <br /><br />He may be best known as a co-star (with John McIntyre and Robert Fuller) on Wagon Train in the 1960s. <br /><br />And, once again, I'm terrified by the realization that I actually know this stuff.
