• This one's being overlooked almost everywhere, but Dick Durdock -- the six foot five inch marine who played Swamp Thing in both the movie and television series -- has sadly passed away of pancreatic cancer.

• David Cronenberg is set to remake his own remake of The Fly. This is a poor idea: Cronenberg's first stab is basically perfect. He can only make himself look bad here by trying again.
