    I saw Omega Doom [en.wikipedia.org] in 1996 when it came out.

    I've seen it again since.

    It's not good.

    It's got Shannon Whirry in it.

    It's got Anna Katerina in it .....

    ..... who next year, credited as Anna Katarina, played the ex-wife of Michael Douglas's character, in David Fincher's gorgeous movie 'The Game'.

    Omega Doom was based, like Akira Kurosawa's 'Yoyimbo', Sergio Leone's 'A Fistful of Dollars' and the Coen brother's wonderful, wonderful 'Miller's Crossing', on Dashiell Hammett's 1929 detective novel 'Red Harvest', which featured his eternal protagonist, the nameless 'The Continental Op', who was, in turn, based on Hammett's own work, as a (disillusioned) Pinkerton, strikebreaking for brutal mine bosses in 1916 Butte, Montana.

    The story of a 1916 labourer, fleeing the consequences of killing his brutal boss, is the basis for Terrence Malick's, photogenic elegy to 'The Golden Hour', 1978's 'Days of Heaven', which was narrated by its ethereal ingenue star Linda Manz .....

    ..... who returned, once, after a twelve year absence from the screen and history, to play the unrecognizable, butch, tattooed roommate of Michael Douglas's co-star in 'The Game', only to then disappear once more, this time apparently forever.

    For some reason I know all this.

    Somebody take my head.

    Please.

    The real question is, how can we get Kevin Sorbo, Bruce Campbell and Steve Buscemi together in a movie about a team of time-travelling, misfit vigilante superheros? #kevinsorbo

    You know, Kevin Sorbo is a lot better an actor than people give him credit for. I remember him doing a guest stint on that mildly entertaining sitcom Dharma and Greg years ago and played a nice flirty professor who hits on the main chick not realizing she's married. (If memory serves)

    Completely bought him as that even though Hercules was still fresh on the brain. It's too bad no one will give him a romantic comedy to do. I think he'd do quite well in it. #kevinsorbo

    Whatever happened to that show io9 reported that was supposed to star Kevin Sorbo as some sort of Illuminati assassin with compartmentalized personalities that start to fracture? Or was that a fever dream? #kevinsorbo

    I had an unnaturally strong school girl crush on Sorbo circa 1997.

    At times like this, my lady parts think it's still 1997. #kevinsorbo

    "You really do have to admire Sorbo's willingness to poke fun at himself, screaming into the phone about his lousy ratings and then turning on a dime to hit on the random chick who gets his autograph."

    Excuse me, how is Sorbo poking fun at himself by doing this? Is he a well known flirt with autograph chicks, and a well known screaming into phones when ratings are low?

    @Charlie Jane Anders:

    I remember when they were filming Hercules in NZ, and when I was just a young naive little christian, Kevin Sorbo used to go my friends church with his family.

    He was actually really cool. He had a really gracious attitude - nothing like an egotistical jerk at all.
    I was really surprised, because you'd think that someone who was playing the semi invincible son of a God (who goes to church!) would have superior notions of himself. #kevinsorbo

    I used to feel and still kinda do that Kevin Sorbo would've made a good Superman. He had the face and physique back then to pull it off. As he's gotten older i'm not so sure anymore. #kevinsorbo
