“Rolling Stone” ranked the 100 best TV theme songs of all time. “The Jefferson’s” is at #1, followed by a tie between “The Brady Bunch” and “Gilligan’s Island”. I’m partial to Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

If you want to know where movie producers are going next for ideas…well, Children’s books.. NOW are the new horror stories…as we’re awaiting the release of “Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey”. Well, some of us are anyway…But there’s even MORE to look forward to after that. The people behind that one are also working on “Bambi: The Reckoning”. You pretty much know where this one’s going: Bambi’s mother is killed, and he becomes a “vicious killing machine that lurks in the wilderness.” Three Blind Mice”, “Rise of the Loch Ness”, “Mary Had a Little Lamb”, “Peter Pan’s Neverland Nightmare”, “Jurassic Theme Park”, and, perhaps most importantly . . . “Spiders on a Plane”.
(If Samuel L. Jackson doesn’t star in this one, WE RIOT.)
