Continuing the current media trend of never having an original thought, Disney is purportedly considering remaking Topper, the 1937 movie (and 1950's television show) about a man haunted by a pair of mischievous ghosts.

I remember watching the Topper television show as a child--it was probably the first "science fiction" show I ever saw--and I loved it. Steve Martin would probably do a good job as Topper, but it would be hard to top Leo G. Carroll.

Speaking of science fiction, I enjoyed this week's entry in the Periodic Table of Science Fiction at scifi.com: Astatine ("Bad Brains").
