Happy 65th birthday to @Paul_Dini, one of our most influential creators in print, animation and film. His co-creation of Harley Quinn was one of the most successful new characters in decades, and his shepherding of Batman in both print and animation has been legendary. Cheers!
Happy 52nd birthday to M. Night Shyamalan, who made a comic book movie before the tsunami of comic book movies hit. And when he's on fire, he captures nightmares.
WEIRD SCIENCE was released OTD in 1985, one of a flood of nerdy teen scientist movies (REAL GENIUS, MY SCIENCE PROJECT, THE MANHATTAN PROJECT). That certainly kept the box office lower, but it's since become a cult favorite, especially because of Bill Paxton & Robert Downey Jr.
