Vote Slimer for King!

Onionhead, Little Spud, the Ghost of John Belushi, but we all know him with the most famous name: he is Slimer! He's the only character to appear in all the video media of the Ghostbusters franchise (with many variations, such as his arms and the shape of his body). Slimer is a hovering blob of ectoplasm and many people asked: "Many of the ghosts have body deformations that make them assume a scarier form, but who was that ectoplasmic blob during his life?".

In the 80s, the franchise's creators decided to make a sub-franchise made of TV series and comics, that were direct sequels to the 1984 film. One of this comic book series was The Real Ghostbusters, wich was published in the USA and in the UK, the only country that had an explaination of Slimer's life, represented in a strip that appeared on The Real Ghostbusters #22.
As this ambigously canonical theory tells, Slimer was called King Remils ("Slimer" backwards) and was an obese king who died after a heart failure.

Do you hink it's a canonizable thory? What's your opinion about Remils?

Na'vi Jedi?

Watching James Cameron's famous sci-fi film Avatar (2009) and the Star Wars canon space opera film Rogue One (also known as "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story" or "Star Wars: Rogue One") I noticed that are some common items: in fact, the Rebel Rogue One squad and their Zeta-class cargo shuttle SW-0608 are very similar to the rogue scientists lead by "Jakesully" and their helicopter: Rogue One!

But it's not all: the Battle of Scarif is similar to the battle on Pandora from Avatar: the scientist's pod is like the Imperial security complex and the Citadel Tower on Scarif, Colonel Quaritch is very similar to Orson Krennic, Trudy to Bodhi Rook, the outcome of the battles is almost identical,...

Ghostbusting Titanic

The picture below is a screenshot from the 1989 sequel of the famous 1984 film Ghostbusters: Ghostbusters II. In this film, shortly before the soul of the Moldovan tyrant Vigo the Carpathian takes power by exiting from the painting where it was trapped, many people called the NYPD after seeing ghosts in Manhattan, where the Ghostbusters Peter Venkman, "Ray" Stantz, Egon Spengler, Winston Zeddemore and their friends Janine Melnitz, Louis Tully and Dana Barrett lived.
One of thes ghosts is the ghost of the wreck of the famed British ship RMS Titanic, that appears in a gag scene during Chapter 21 of Ghostbusters II.
The Royal Mail Ship Titanic was a White Star Line Olympic-class ocean liner launched on May, 31, 1911; that sunk on April, 14, 1912 after the collision with an iceberg and was found underwater in 1985, four years before the release of the film, but the Industrial Light & Magic model used in the film is clearly different from the real ship wreckage and any other ship that sunk after the collision with an iceberg!

"UFO" over the TV

Not so many people know that Gerry Anderson's TV series UFO wasn't only a TV series: there were some comics, films and more, too.

In Italy, for example, were produced many UFO compilation movies, because the Italian-language UFO was aired on the regional television channel of the Swiss Republic and Canton of Ticino and only in northern Italy people watched it: UFO - Allarme rosso... attacco alla Terra! (1973), UFO - Distruggete Base Luna (1973; this movie served as namesake for a board game, too), UFO - Prendeteli vivi (1974) and UFO - Contatto radar... stanno atterrando...! (1974) and UFO - Annientate SHADO... Uccidete Straker... Stop! (1974).
In 1971, 1972 and 1973, American magazines Countdown and TV Action published fourty-eight UFO comic strips, too.
But it isn't all: in 1970, Pan Books Ltd. publixhed a book titled Gerry Anderson's UFO #1 (ISBN:0330026445).
