No, only "bobbies" talk to Subgenii in this fashion.  Every Subgenii
has his own type of Slack that varies from Subgenii to Subgenii. That is 
why Slack is so hard to define.  For some it IS something for nothing.
For others it is another thing to be mad about that gives them Slack 
Orgasms(tm).  Wise up, Bud!  Would "Bob" have spoken so harshly to a 
young Subgee?  No.  He would have clouted him upside the head and gently 
but cheerfully admonished him to stop trying to think so damned hard 
about slack, and to pursue it instead.
  One cannot tell anybody, especially a Subgenius what slack is.  At best 
one can give one a sense of slack awareness, that is the idea that there 
is such a thing and that if you look for it you will find it because you 
now know, (Thanks to "Bob"), that you need it and are looking for slack.
Say 20 "Hail Connies" and sent $5.00 to the Church.


Pope Charles    Subgenius Pope Of Houston.         Slack!

Well I suppose they believe that characters like Robin, Joker, Penguin
dont need to have origins cuz everyone realy knows who they are anyway.

I gather that this is the College Greyson Robin, and as such is gone
most of the time (though I would prefer Tim Drake)

hmmmmmm since this is Greyson, maybe we can get a one-episode guest star or
two (like Zatana later this season) of the Classic Titans,  perhaps some
very strange case (two-parter of course) wherein Dick has to call in help
from Raven or Starfire....ahh well only dreaming, but if any title should
ever be mentioned in TAS it would be Titans since they are both very old
and rather linked at the hips :)

Would there be interest in creating an alt group for fans of the
Fox network's BATMAN cartoon?  TINY TOON ADV has their own group,
so I figure it might be a good idea to give BATMAN its own.  It
wouldn't necessarily be to take discussion out of r.a.animation,
but perhaps just to cross-post it to one place.

Email me with your comments.  If there's a sufficient positive
response, I'll see about getting some other wonderful person to do
a newgroup, because I don't think I can get one from the FreeNet.

If you want to see Heavy Metal, do NOT watch it on cable/on TV.  (It
isn't available on tape, anyway).  You would lose the effect.

This movie is MEANT to be seen in letterbox/stereo on the BIG screen.
I just saw it that way for the first time a couple of nights ago (it
was being played at the local theatre, sponsored by a local radio 
station), and it completely and utterly blew me away.  

This is no "kiddie flick;" it's rated R, for good reason.  There are a 
good many scenes of violence and nudity.  I won't say anything else about
its plot; I don't want to ruin the story for you.

It's got some great names on the production crew/cast...Ivan Reitman
(who later did GHOSTBUSTERS) was one of the producers; Dan O'Bannon (who
later co-wrote one of the Alien(s) movies) was one of the writers; John
Candy, Joe Flaherty, and John Vernon did a few roles, too (John Vernon,
incidentally, currently plays that mobster, Rupert Thorne, on BTAS).

Whatever you do, do NOT see it for the first time on the small screen.
Heavy Metal MUST be seen in the cinema, or it loses much of its magic.
 
How to get it in your local cinema?  I could think of several ways.  For
example, write to/call your local cinema and try to interest them in the
idea of showing Heavy Metal.  Do the same for your local radio station.
Heavy Metal has quite a cult following...the theatre lobby was full up
with people fifteen minutes before they let everybody in to take their
seats.  And I mean FULL!  
 
If you attent e (like 
If you attend a college (like mine) that gets movies on 16mm and shows
them, you might try to convince them to get Heavy Metal.  Wouldn't be
as good as the theatre, but it would still be better than TV...

Good luck on finding the movie!  You've got quite a treat in store for
you...

No.  They are two completely different companies.  I left the original claim

BTW, if my sources are correct, GAINAX is still around.  Check out the

I've been thinking along similar lines.  I was thinking more about her
being cloned or re-animated.  Perhaps she has a bunch of sisters?
Perhaps she was a cyborg to begin with...and there are a dozen copies of
her and she's being sent, one by one, to assassinate this guy...maybe
her creator?  
 
I think from season one we have a pretty good idea that she's an "agent"
of some kind.  She has higher-ups (the people who monitored her and then
torched her room).

Yeah...this season she's been pretty clumsy.  Does anyone know if this
season's episodes were made at the same time as the first seasons?  Were
they made afterwards?

The reason I bring it up...the "clumsiness" might be a reaction to the
"perfect superheroine" role they seemed to have.  
 
I think the clutziness can be overplayed...but they haven't yet.

>I'm definitely going to have to review last season this weekend! :-)

And perhaps we could put your review in the LTV FAQ (if we decide to

This is the only reason it is still open.  Once the Space Mountain stage
was enclosed to create the Magic Eye Theater for Captain Eo, Videopolis
was the only stage left.  Surprise, suprise, that's also about the time
that it stopped being a dance club thing.

Mickey's Toontown is supposedly going to have a wonderful new theater
that will give Disneyland a stage designed for productions.  Despite
what your friend the rigger or a glance at the control room might
imply, most of that was added later.  The Videopolis stage was designed
for concerts, and the fact that it is an outdoor facility also requires
Disney to worry about protecting stage dressings and such from the
weather.  All in all, it is definately less than ideal for the purposes
to which it is being put.

In reference to the response that the demise of the 'Vid' was imminent. I
really don't believe it.  Videopolis, now the Beaty and the Beast Stage
show, is the only real theatre in Disnayland.  Although some may argue
this point let me elaborate.

Videopolis has the best facility for multiple shows.  It is set up as a
full running theatre stage not a special-purpose one set up for a single
show.  If you were to see the backstage, or the control booth you would
agree with me.  

My former college roomate is a rigger at the Vid and showed me around the
last time I was there (in June).  I think that it would be very
short-sighted for Disney to eliminate this stage form their facility.

Of course!  The castle is modelled after Neu Schwanstein, a German
castle built by "Crazy Louis" I think.  This ruler was responsible for
many other interesting structures, but the castle of swans was probably
the most elaborate.

I'm sure someone else could expand more on my knowledge- it's been a

Well I've found that Nine Dragons isn't anything special compared to any 
other Chinese restaraunt in town.

Also like was mentioned I doubt the Oriental restaraunts will be serving 
something special for Thansgiving.

And even though I love Disney, the food is usually very overpriced and 
usually not anything special.

Although the pizza that is baked in the stone oven near Muppet Vission

Sorry, can't help with the comparison against spectromagic and the light 
parade. However, the music was very very good. I was told the music is 
cleaverly controlled to 'follow' the respective floats i.e as you see it you
hear it. This did seem the case, as when TLM float had to stop (not sure why),
the sound track also stayed relevant but did not just repeat itself.

I give this information through starry eyes, set the scene:-

	We've been at WDW for two weeks, staying at the polyneasian resort.
	Having had the best holiday ever, the last evening arrives. 
	Our three small children go to spend a few hours at the Peter Pan Club
	leaving my wife and I with some free time.
	It's nearly 9pm and beginning to get dark.
	The two of us decide to cross the lake for the last time and visit 
	the magic kingdom at night.

	Emotions are running high, as we leave tomorrow.

	To our surprise, we find main street full of people obviously waiting
	for some kind of parade. The lights dim, the music starts....



	If you have not experienced the above, you could not appreciate its
	significance..

My wife Carol and I just returned from an exhilarating time at the
1st Disneyana Convention, September 24-27 at WDW's Contemporary
Resort. We also enjoyed 5 days at Dixie Landings and looking around WDW
beforehand.  We're tired, but it's a good kind of tired :-).  We're
still somewhat in the process of settling down from it and easing
back into the relatively dreary work-a-day world, but we plan to
report tidbits of what went on at the convention as well as some
WDW news (attractions shut down for refurbishing) and gossip.  It
might take a few days to get our notes transcribed and fully
uploaded, so we'll just post a few things each day, so please bear
with us.  But we hope to share with you the fun we had!  My wife Carol
Koster and I are writing jointly and separately and we act as each
other's editors.  We heard that other people who post on this net were
also there, though we didn't catch up with them there :-(, so if you
were there and have anything to add or correct Carol or me on, just
jump in.  If we can answer anything or elaborate on anything in the
meantime, holler.
 
We tried to contact the cast members who have posted on FidoNet's
Disney Echo or UseNet's rec.arts.disney, to say hello, but we had a
hard time locating and leaving messages for them at their workplaces,
probably due to company policy (?) which we certainly respect and do
not wish to bother them or get them in trouble with supervisors.  So
at least they'll know we tried, we were thinking of them and wanted
to wish them well from fellow posters on the boards.
 
We're also crossposting these tidbits on both FidoNet's Disney Echo
and UseNet's rec.arts.disney because not everyone is as lucky as us
to be able to read both Disney sources.
 
The 1st Disneyana Convention was set up to bring Disney memorabilia
collectors (old toys, props, movie posters, cels, artwork, stuff,
etc.) and enthusiasts together for an official annual gathering under
Disney auspices.  Before we left we posted the convention's schedule.
If you missed that, events included:  A huge ice cream and dessert
social with autograph signing by three of the original Mouseketeers, a
huge character breakfast buffet with live performance and daytime
fireworks, seminars from Disney executives and archivists, a preview
of the "Aladdin" movie and the characters, two auctions, a closing
banquet, opportunities to take the behind-the-scenes tours (we went
on the "Innovations" tour down the tunnel system, more on that later)
offered to convention groups, and, of course, shopping!  It was the
inaugural event for the new Contemporary Resort convention center, a
terrific facility, and very special as a location since the
Contemporary was one of the first two resorts at WDW.
 
More to come!

That sounds more like the version they showed at..umm...somewhere in
New York, I think before it was released in full.  It is the almost
