I heard from someone at Video Vault that there is going to be a horror

someone have some information that he/she could post??? Thanks.

I saw it years ago on cable and was disappointed.  I think anytime
a movie by a good director is held back from release, or released
in a "butchered" cut, or otherwise has that air of doom and gloom
cast around it by mainstream Hollywood, there is an expectation that
once it gets released, it will prove to be a masterpiece.  For this
reason, perhaps I had high expectations, too high to really enjoy
it for what it really was, which was, if memory serves me, a
forerunner of Ferris Bueller and Bill and Ted.  I probably should
see it again, but that's MHO, for what it's worth.

You seem to have missed the point -- posting such large files to a group
wreaks havok on some systems, especially those with limited file space.
I tried and took the heat for doing so. That's why an ftp site is the
best way to go.

Hey, don't forget King Sunny Ade! If you liked him in O.C. and Stiggs be
sure to try his 'Aura' CD. This was a great flick, especially if you realize
beforehand that it's a National Lampoon story (sort of puts it in the right
perspective). I've yet to find it on video though.

So do I. I somehow was under the impression that he was Ted Turner dressed

Didn't Seymour die back in the late '70s? I loved him as a kid. Although
nowadays I can see that his schtick was lifted almost wholesale from
Zacherly. They replaced him with some lame pre-Elvira type whose name

I saw this on video about ten years ago.  I can't remember anything 
about it other than the fact that Martin Landau and Cameron Mitchell 
appeared in it.  I can remember thinking it was fairly enjoyable 
nonsense, not unlike the other videos my little brother was renting 
at the time, such as the ludicrous Oasis of the Zombies.

of renting bad movies, particularly horror jobs,and I saw some real stinkers,
but this is the only movie that was ever SO bad that I had to leave the room.

I've seen both and can't recommend either one. Circuitry man was trying
very hard to be some kind of sly, dark, satire and IMO failed utterly.
I had to turn it off after 30 minutes. A poor, sick, and dying man's
version of Neuromancer. 

Biggles was also quite lame. Of course I saw it on TV and it had been
edited to pieces. But what I saw of it was still awful.

Never is a long time.  I bought the OST in Houston, TX about 3 or 4
years ago on CD.  As far as I remember it has all of the music as
it occurs during the movie.  I have compared the movie and OST several

Subtle?  I felt like they were clubbing me over the head with it!  I'd
question whether V was as bad as I (Star Dreck:  The Motionless

hands down the worst.

It's a mistake to regard III as a movie.  II-III-IV are one movie,
made in parts.  III is the part where it dragged a bit in the
middle...  but Christopher Lloyd was such a great Klingon!  Even
without II and IV around it, though, it was much better than V; about
even with VI.
