RIP, Michael Gough--Plus, Fannish Items of Interest

Michael Gough has passed away at the age of 94. He may be best remembered in the role of Alfred in Tim Burton movies, as well as Batman Forever and Batman And Robin. He was also in Classic Doctor Who as both the Celestial Toymaker, as well as Councillor Hedin. I also remember that he played Arthur in Hammer’s Horror of Dracula. May he rest in peace.

8 Mostly Forgotten 90’s Cartoons. I remember Road Rovers and The Mighty Ducks. With the latter, I don’t believe I watched it—I think I watched an ABC special telling what new shows would be airing on Fridays and Saturdays, and that was one of them.

Geoff Johns thinks the Sandman series is happening after all. Given the fact the news was that it was not going forward just the other day, make of that what you will.

The Rifftrax of Highlander is now available.

Eva Green says Dark Shadows will take place in the 70’s. Angelique is also American now, therefore not originating from Martinique. And, again, the script is referred to as funny, which doesn’t seem to bode well.

...Dark Shadows is supposed to be "funny"? Oh, god no.
