Monster-of-the-Week: …this week the nod goes to this
genetically-engineered velociraptor which adorns my current can of Barbasol:
This is a clever bit of product tie-in; you’ll remember it
was a fake Barbasol can in which Wayne Knight tried to smuggle out the dinosaur
embryos in the original film.
RIP to a couple of greats: My Mom’s favorite actor Theodore
Bikel, passed on at 91, and Alex Rocco, passed on at 79. Of Rocco’s many fine
turns, I especially loved him as the sheriff in The Stunt Man; it’s excellent (and rather accurate) when, near the end, Peter O’Toole off-handedly greets him with “Hello,
sexy.”
