Does anyone know where the idea for the "Terminator" movies originated?

No.  It changes the plot, and the motivations of several characters
(Gaff, Bryant, Tyrell).

Of course, "the plot" does not exist on celluloid, but I won't stoop

I think the name of Harlan Ellison's short story is SOLDIER. 

I'm just re-reading The Essential Ellison (1000+ pages of HE's collected 
short stories) and Soldier was in it.

It's about a soldier who someone gets zapped and sent back into time.
The gov't figures out who and where he comes from, but doesn't know what to 
do with him. It seems they are waging a sorta telepathic war in the future.
So this one scientist (?) gets idea of letting the soldier share his 
battles telepathically w/ the rest of the world, in the hopes that this one
particular future can be avoided.

How about The Demolished Man?  Even more of a challange than TSMD.
IMHO these are two of the greatest SF novels of all time.

By the way, I seem to recall that one of these Bester' novels was on
American Film's (hopely not dead, only sleeping) list of great unproduced
screen plays.  That is, someone owns the rights, has some sort of project,
but it is in limbo 
(I think the buzz word is 'turnaround').

I have no idea if this movie was ever released in the US, but 
I'd like to find it on video if possible.  The movie starred 
Michael Pare (I think Malcom Mcdowell was in it as well) and 
was based on some prison planet where Pare went undercover 
or something like that.  Anyway, the working title was 
"Moon 44" and many of the actors playing prisoners were 
American soldiers (in real life).  It was shot in Germany 
around 1988.  My interest is due to the fact that I did 
some voice-over work for the film and would like to see 
how it finally came out (my hopes aren't too high ;).  
Any info would be appreciated.  Reply by email or post it here. 
Thanks.

I think I do too. Could it be that it isn't a Hollywood
movie, and therefore have another attitude, especially
towards violence? I much liked the way our hero starts
out by outsmarting the prisoner instead of handling the
situation the Hollywood way. (In USA-ian movies, if you
have handguns, apparently they have to be fired at every
conceivable moment. Not so in this German movie.)

However, I couldn't find the use of combat helicopters
on Moon 44 logical.

It wasn't that bad, folks. Compared to similar product that actually
came from Hollywood <Moontrap is from Shapiro Glickenhaus, a New York
company>, just try to watch "Nightflyers", a film with much more
potential <it was based on the story by George R. R. Martin>, and nothing
to redeem it in the slightest. Effects are sub "Jason Of Star Command",
and the lapses in logic and the laws of physics quite numerous.

Moontrap works fine if taken as a drive in sapce/horror film, but
I couldn't figure out what "Nightflyers" might work as!

as for Walter Koenig's swearing, I have heard interviews with him, taped
by fans, and I'd say that they toned him DOWN! He sounded like a 
truck driver in interviews!

Howdy Stephen!

Yup, the movie under its original (& unchanged) title (Moon 44) is
available in video-stores across Canada. I really LOVED it; the very
first s/f movie that takes place "in space" and, despite its low budget,
manages to be more or less original, with good acting, good special f/x,
and an OK story.

Take care

This film was released (briefly) in the UK as Moon 44 (Rating 18) and
was pulled quickly. I won ten tickets to see it in a local newspaper compo...

Okay effects, although sequences were reused to the point of boredom.
Malcolm Macdowell is a class actor, though, so it's worth seeing for his

I saw Under Siege last night. What an absolute waste of time. 
Steven 'Fly like a' Seagle's acting makes Arnie look like an academy award
winner. The plot is predictable and features the dumbest blonde bimbo in ages.

The most intersting part was the shorts before the film. They featured
 a movie called 'Fortress' and Christopher Lambert(Highlander) is in it.
Its just about to be released in Australia and I was wondering how it went 
in the US (or wherever) and what people thought.

What you saw is more than likely the two-hour, movie premiere for Deep Space
Nine, the next Star Trek series.  There HAS been rumors of a Star Trek VII,
involving the original cast, written by either Nimoy and/or Shatner (can
any Trekkers/Trekkies help me out with this?), but there would be NO way
it would be ready by January (maybe of '94!).

Check the local listing for the premier of DS9, sometime between Jan 3 and
Jan 9.

    Actually I've heard (vastly unsubstantiated) rumors that parts of what
will be ST VII were filmed at the same time as ST VI.  Has anyone else
heard anything like this?  It would explain the convention footage, and
also makes a lot of sense (Back To The Future 2 and 3 were filmed at the

Hi Stephanie!

Well, it really seems to be a yawn so far as big-budget s/f features are
concerned. On the lower market, however, there's plenty to watch. In
January they're coming out with the two highly expected series-pilot,
Deep Station 9 and Babylon 5. There're also some good cartoons in the
making.

In video, Full Moon is in full steam to bring out new low budget, good
f/x movies, all horror, fantasy or s/f. They're planning to bring out
"their" version of a dinosaur-movie in January, & also Robotwars
sometime in the first half of '93.

Other than that... well, just wishful thinking about a SW 4 (or -1), a
T3, or an Alien 4...

Take care

That part used to bug me, but the 2nd or 3rd time I watched ANH I concluded
it was poor C-3P0 mistaking the empire's ship for the one he'd just left.
