Darth Vader never was played by a whiny kid. He was a Nasty Mcbadass from when he was born until when he died.
“From the day he was born he was trouble. He was the thorn in his mother’s side.”
When you get a song stuck in your head, share the pain.
That song has been stuck in my head too Fern Forrest, “What a guy, makes you cry, and I did…”
All your base are not belong to us.
Um, what’s wrong with the Japanese SMB2? Sure, it’s hard as sin, but gameplay-wise, I thought it was a funtastic sequel. Certainly better than the renamed Arabian side-scroller thing that got sold as “Super Mario Bros. 2” in the States…
Supertramp made their last record in the mid 80’s.
Queensrÿche’s last album was Promised Land (1994).
Jan de Bont made one film with the word “Speed” in the title. Not two. ONE.
There was this cool movie in the late 70’s, Smokie and the Bandit. I wonder why they never made any sequels of that one?
Same for Police Academy. That movie had such potential, it’s amazing there never was a sequel for it.
Basic Instinct was the only erotic thriller Sharon Stone ever did, and it was a mediocre one at that. She certainly never acted in any movies rhyming with “shiver”.
Millennium was sadly canceled at the end of its second season, its cliffhanger episode left unresolved. There’s a rumor that the plug was pulled because the writers were going to just handwave it away for the third season.
I hear that Dan Simmons was planning to write sequels to his Hyperion novels, but has never gotten round to it.
Stephen King has an unfinished manuscript with a working title of It; sources assure me that serious writers’ block struck him at the point where the cast of protagonists was about to make the final push through Derry’s sewers to face the evil plaguing the town. There’s a bad fan-fictionish ending floating around that involves the titular it being a giant spider, and involving a gangbang.
There was a second/third-tier sci-fi and fantasy author by name of Piers Anthony who faded into obscurity after writing a handful of books including a clever-enough pun-heavy fantasy trilogy.
This is an obscure one (but I’m a big fan of old TV westerns so here goes).
Wagon Train was always in B&W, and it always starred Ward Bond and Robert Horton. This nasty rumor about it going to color and starring John McIntire and Robert Fuller. Nope. That never happened.
*Alias Smith and Jones* only went for about two seasons, and had one guy play Hannibal Heyes–the late Pete Duel. There’s this tale going around that after Duel’s suicide, his part was quickly recast with another guy, but everyone knows that this is just a rumor–no evidence of it that I have ever seen.
There was no Doctor Who TV movie.
I’m amazed nobody mentioned this so far:
There was no final episode of Farscape.
Yeah, but after all - there wasn’t much of a final episode to Farscape! 
Michael Jordan came back once, and retired from that permanently. He never picked up a basketball again, except to reluctantly show his clones how to play.
Just replying to say I completely agree. I actually spent an entire weekend browsing through her reviews.
Are you gonna pitch in for her fund raiser?
Other than the odd Sunday morning neighbourhood game, Jordan never really played baseball, either.
[sub]Although I suppose one could classify the Minor League as “Sunday morning neighbourhood games”.[/sub]
There were no Gilligan’s Island TV movies. They never got off the island.
It’s a good thing that Hollywood realized that there was no way to follow up the charm and humor of A Christmas Story, especially not by replacing the everyone and casting Charles Grodin as the dad and having Culkins for kids.
I’m also glad that Neil Young never made an album in the early 80s.
Yes never made an album called Tormato. And on this aledged album, that doesn’t exist, there certainly aren’t any songs with crap lyrics about not killing whales or arriving UFO’s or Jon Anderson’s deluded interpretations of heaven. Nor does this album, which is non-existant, by the way, have crap disharmonious pseudo-psychedelic synthesizer solos that would make The Doors blush with embarrassment. None of that. It’s all lies.
After their 1977 album Going for the One, all members of Yes took a 3 year sabbatical, to return stronger than ever in 1980 with the classic Drama.
There was no storyline in Babylon 5’s fifth season about a bunch of poofy telepaths with fabulous hair being led by the pretensious wanker Lord Byron who take over the station. Since Byron never existed, Lita Alexander never fell in love with him for no reason. Also, Ivanova never left the station before the fifth season either.
You see, David Lee Roth never really left Van Halen, and Roger Waters never left Pink Floyd, and the bands will play an epic “Battle of the Bands” from the opposing roofs of the World Trade Center that was never knocked down.
There was no Galactica:1980.
Battlestar Galactica ran one season, and that was it.
