Last week, H.G. Wells’ nightmare vision of vivisection and overweening science, “The Island of Dr. Moreau,” came up against a Friday the 13th in the year of our angry Lord 2020. Predictably, computer and connectivity issues ensued. After a torturous hour of clawing through the innards of Facebook and Zoom, without success, Roy and I had no choice but to reschedule our – ahem – dissection of the 1977 film version until this SUNDAY.
In the interim, I have padded out my knowledge of all things “Moreau,” by rewatching the 1932 version (“Island of Lost Souls” with Charles Laughton), reading Wells’ original novel, and exhuming the Marvel Comics adaptation from my childhood. I’m not sure, however, that even I can bring myself to watch the 1996 version, with Marlon Brando wearing an ice bucket…
TO THE HOUSE PAIN! Leave your comments as we lay down the LAW on the next Facebook livestream of Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner, THIS SUNDAY NIGHT AT 7:00 EST.
There will be no show tonight, because of a scheduling snafu. However, just so you aren’t sent about your weekend with a gigantic hole in your stomach, Roy and I will pop up this evening at 8:00 EST, simply to announce our upcoming HOLIDAY SCHEDULE. Drop by for a hit, and then come back for More(au) on Sunday, if you please.
HO HO HO!
