General questions

Only one film has had the "Universal Pictures" logo removed before the titles (not including films such as Jurassic Park and Waterworld that used variations of the logo). Does anyone know what it is?

Jon Sandys

Chosen answer: I think that was John Carpenter's the THING. He mentions that in the commentary on the new DVD.

General questions

Many years ago I saw a cartoon where an old animal was telling the story of what happened to mankind. He told of a world war and the last scene is one soldier left in each side's trench. The first soldier shoots the second, but the second shoots the first before dying, thereby ending the human race. I think the last shot was one of the soldiers sinking into the mud of the trench. What is the title or production company of the cartoon?

Answer: It was called "Peace on Earth" - here's the IMDb link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0031790/.

General questions

I'm trying to find out the name of a television show that I watched in the early to mid-1980's. The only details I remember are that there was group of teenagers that worked on a newspaper and they would often get transported to a different time or area where a "bad guy" was always trying to get to them. Anybody have an idea?

Answer: I think it was "Read all about it." It may have been a Children's Televison Workshop production. Mind you that's just a guess.
