Trailer of the Week: Them! (1954)

Believe it or not, the late James Arness also made science fiction movies. But alas, he didn't always get mentioned in the trailer.

Science Fiction Quote of the Week

End of movie soon. No chance to be James Arness and get the girl. But plenty of time to be the best James Whitmore ever.
--Howard Waldrop, “All About Strange Monsters of the Recent Past”

R.I.P. James Whitmore

Another old pro I grew up watching on the small screen passed away last Friday. Most noted for one-man shows in which he played Will Rogers and Harry Truman, Whitmore was also famous for his roles in a number of films ranging from Battleground to The Shawshank Redemption. I knew him best as the gruff older doctor on the old '70s sitcom Temperature's Rising but that was hardly his most famous role.

He will be missed.
