Good thing I found this article about David Cronenberg’s Scanners (1981) because the ads for it were a complete wash out and waste of time.
I mean, C’MON!

C’mon! Say it with me! All together now. Three … two … one …
Way back in June of 2010, the fine folk behind the magnificent She Blogged by Night held The Shatnerthon!, a tribute to the great William Tiberius Shatner. Scenes from the Morgue heeded the call and participated back then, and now, to celebrate Wild Bill’s birthday this weekend, it was high time we migrated those ads over to the new site plus a few more treats mixed in. Alas, this will be the last entry in the Captain’s Log for this Blogathon. Hope you enjoyed it. Until next time, Fellow Red-Shirts, ‘Beam me up, Scotty.’
