Volume 1, Issue 7 November 2026 Filmphernalia Your New Entertainment Bud From the Editor’s Desk Lines Immortal "Well, nobody's perfect!" Some Like It Hot (1959) Happy Halloween peeps! And welcome to 7th issue of the newsletter. It started as the September issue and had to be the November issue. But we sure can’t miss Halloween no matter what so here we are right on October 31. Summer is past its peak now and that’s a relief for me and the animals I know. September in its entirety plus the first two weeks of October together were backbreaking and brain-racking. Getting some regular work again—now as a book reviewer—brought some stability. But ate lots of my time. Inside this issue: Screenopticals: Playing Roles against One’s Real-Life Sexuality FilmBuzz — Usual, Unusual, and Unheard Scripter’s Haven — Minds in Frame Script Competition Remembering Captain Picard 2 2 2 The Fabulous 3 Retro Fandom — All The Rivers Run 3 Film Quiz 3 Books of Ernest Is Up! 4 What’s great about this set of gems is that each one is worth watching more than once and there is no comparison. Note that these movies are listed and NOT ranked by numbers. But you sure can rank them, if you choose. :) 1. Bad Company (1972) 2. Treasures of the Snow (1980) 3. Sabotage (1996) 4. Fatal Judgment (1988) 5. 7 Women (1966) Western Faith/Spiritual Action True Crime Drama While I watched far fewer films and posted one screenoptical during all this time, I managed to keep the sites alive and even wrote a couple new short film scripts. Wish me luck with their production. In this issue I pay my humble tribute to Sir Patrick Stewart who passed away on October 28. He was and forever will be my Star Trek Captain. How many of you grew up with TNG? And I’m not trying to out your age, trust me! Aside from posting reviews on Filmospheric, I also recently posted a review of the 1993 TV movie Men Don’t Tell on my site ernestdempsey.com. It’s a true story and touches on a very important issue. So check it out if you get a moment. The quiz in this issue is kinda easy specially for psychological thriller fans. But I really didn’t know until recently, so…. Before leaving, I wish everyone a blessed Thanksgiving! Thank you for your time and feel free to reach out via email at editor@ernestdempsey.com. Ernest Dempsey October 31, 2026
