Like Francis Coppola, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme, John Sayles and Paul Bartel, Dante is an honors graduate of the Roger Corman night school of no-budget film making. Working for slave wages at Gorman's New World Pictures in the mid-'70s, Dante learned how to finesse movies on a frayed shoestring. He and Co-Director Allan Arkush shot their first film, Hollywood Boulevard, for a niggardly $60,000 in 1976. Dante's solo directorial debut, the 1978 Piranha, was made for slightly in excess of $1 million. In this fleet-wilted Jaws parody one could...
Dave Stieb (3-0) worked 71/3 innings, giving up eight hits, including an eighth-inning home run to Gorman Thomas, Roy Lee Jackson finished up, earning his second save...
...begins in a hulking concrete structure called the Payload Preparation Center, a stationary, 147-ft-high building. There, in a relatively particle-free chamber, the spy satellites and other exotic space gear to be carried aloft will be given final checks in sealed chambers. Explains Engineer O'Gorman: "If we do the job right you should be able to take a transistor radio in there and not pick up a single outside signal." This feature is designed to prevent accidental interference during testing and, obviously, to prevent unauthorized monitoring of electronic transmissions...
...made to turn sour, there must be a reason. Enter a triad of villains-Megamogul Ross Webster (Robert Vaughn), his ugly, scheming sister Vera (Annie Ross) and his "psychic nutritionist," the alluring Lorelei Ambrosia (Pamela Stephenson)-and one nebbishy computer genius gone astray. His name is Gus Gorman, and since he is played by Richard Pryor, two things are certain: Gus will be on Superman's side in time for the climax, and the film will turn a healthy profit before the summer is over. Screenwriters David Newman and Leslie Newman, who have worked on all three Superman movies...
Someone suggested to Gorman Thomas that he might offer the Hall his glove, the one that caught the sacrifice fly that scored tagging runners from both third and second bases in Game 4. Thomas started to scowl but burst out grinning. In fact there was almost no ugliness to this show at all, except for a profane few minutes in the final game when hefty Home Plate Umpire Lee Weyer had to dance the Cardinals' sore-shinned pitcher Joaquin Andujar away from Brewer Second Baseman Jim Gantner, who had said something about a hot dog. During the playoffs...
