Veteran character actor Wilford Brimley, probably best known as one of the stars of Ron Howard's wonderful sci-fi classic Cocoon (1985) and the Barry Levinson film, The Natural (1984) starring Robert Redford, has passed away this August 1st, 2020. Wilford decided at a rather late age of 34 to try out acting. This was because he had gained weight and could not perform in rodeos anymore! He found work almost immediately as an extra in the movie True Grit (1969) starring John Wayne. Then shortly after, TV and movies came a calling. He would end up being in several high profile movies. This quote by Wilford probably best sums up his "Natural" acting style and the reason for his popularity. "I just try to be myself." Well, when you're a very likable fellow, "being yourself" can have its advantages! Thank you Wilford. Condolences to all of Wilford's family. We will miss him too. Which movie with Wilford co-starring in it is your favorite? After voting, please discuss here.

In April 2021, Disney quietly made its long banished made-for-television 'Star Wars' movies available for streaming on Disney+. While, the two Ewok-themed broadcast TV movie installments are available to stream unedited; subscribers are only able to stream the animated short, “The Story of the Faithful Wookiee” portion of 'The Star Wars Holiday Special'. No official statement been made about whether the reprieve is temporary or permanent with questions regarding their ongoing future availability still unanswered. Star Wars fans are advised to watch them while they can, as their availability may be short-lived. Disney's LucasFilm for decades has heard calls to make the 'Star Wars' TV movies available. More recently, they have faced mounting pressure to stream the titles via an online petition. The noteworthy policy reversal was buried in a monthly press release among the list of other newly added Disney+ streaming titles. Since, the three titles are the lowest IMDb rated movies of the entire 'Star Wars' movie franchise; one hardly could be surprised by Disney's failure to trumpet the move or their attempt to hide it in plain sight. In 2004, one of these titles proved particularly humiliating, when it was named "The Worst Two Hours of Television, Ever" in the book, "What Were They Thinking: The 100 Dumbest Events in Television History". In your opinion, which 'Star Wars' made-for-television movie is the most embarrassing installment of the previously banished Lucasfilm produced, live-action, broadcast TV movies?

Modern depictions of zombies often invoke science fictional methods such as carriers, radiation, mental diseases, vectors, viruses, scientific accidents, etc. White Zombie (1932) is one of the earliest examples of a movie featuring a zombie. George A. Romero revolutionized the zombie subgenre with Night of the Living Dead (1968). This movie effectively redefined the use of the term "zombie".
