Rebels of Mars … the logo

April 9th, 2009

We all love the Rebels of Mars logo so much that we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave it behind as we moved into the creation of Retro Sci Fi – soooo it’ll be tagging along ( no pun inteneded ).

Stargate Series on DVD is Amazon Deal of the Day

April 3rd, 2009

Anderson Tapping 1

The Burroughs’ Tradition Sci-Fi television series Star Gate Sg-1 is on sale today at Amazon as their Deal of the Day. Let’s see … 54 remastered DVD episodes for 99 bucks featuring Space Babe Amanda Tapping? Usually this thing is about 300 bucks. Well, uh, gosh … OK.

Wow, what a gift idea for the Retro Sci Fi Enthusiast! So much of Stargate is straight from Edgar Rice Burroughs that he must be up there on Barsoom smiling at the success of the franchise.

posted by Tom Novak, who says … yes, this is a subtle hint for all you happy shoppers out there. :)

Space Babe :: Dana Gillespie

April 3rd, 2009

Dana So I was cleaning some stuff off the DVR late last night and decided to give some time to The People That Time Forgot (1977), based oh-so-very-loosely on the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel. Turner Classics ran it a couple of weeks back, and I knew I’d seen it probably 30 years ago, but what the hey, I’d recorded it, so I switched it on.

Not great. Hell, what starring Doug McClure could be considered great? But it did star Sarah Douglas, who I recall fondly as a Phantom Zone criminal from the Superman movies, and there were dinosaurs. Not particularly good dinosaurs, but I’m not fussy at midnight.

Then "cavegirl" Ajar appeared. My jaw dropped into my lap. How had I forgotten this actress?

Funny thing, I looked up a bio on actress Dana Gillespie (born Richenda Antoinette de Winterstein Gillespie in 1949), and she’s a blues singer! In the early 1970s, she did background vocals for David Bowie! (In fact, Bowie produced her first solo LP in 1973!) She also played Mary Magdalene in the first-ever London production of Jesus Christ Superstar! Whatta gal!

And to think that she had enough time to play a very hot prehistoric cavegirl in The People That Time Forgot!

Chuck Heston was John Carter

April 2nd, 2009

John Carter changed his name to Charlton Heston because The Burroughs’ character was so popular. Too bad Chuck never got behind making John Carter of Mars – the film.
