Yea, having a field-accurate VCR allows me to see all of those neet bubble

All sorts of other weird stuff in there, mostly family photos and production

"Out of the mouths of babes," as it were (though I'm sure that Chris would
surely be hostile to being referred to as a "babe", being a ten-year-old
boy. _I_ certainly wouldn't have appreciated it at that age.).
In the neighborhood I grew up in in Redwood City, there are quite a lot of
uphill/downhill combinations such as the one described above. One of the
things my friends and I tended to do when we were young and stupid, was to
have contests to see how far one could coast up the next hill after
pedaling like hell down the hill we started on. Though I never did
particularly well in these competitions, the distances achieved on these
weenie little BMX bikes that were our basic transportation in those days
were quite respectable. Imagine the potential for a full-grown man riding a
tenspeed... (with a propeller, even! :)

I think you've hit upon the answer. Confirmation, Mike?

my screen started to vibrate slowly. I peaked over my shoulder to see
if anyone else had noticed, no, the vibration picked up and a sickly
green light hit me in the face. I sat prone, and waited till
everything was back to normal, it took about half a minute. I wiped
the sweat of my face.

Yesterday I asked a physics professor for an explanation. He told me,
and this is why I write to you (this is serious Mr. Jittlov!), that
the newsletter which I read must have been put under a strong
radioactive field while written. THAT MEANS, MIKE, THAT YOU HAVE GONE
RADIOACTIVE AFTER YOUR EXPERIMENTS IN L.A. 

You are a living health hazard, Mr. Jittlov. I saw it as my duty to
inform you (and all the fans, you have ruthlessy radiated over the
years) of this. It could quite possible explain other strange
happenings in your life.

Anyone with me in starting a Jittlovian-Victims-Organization?

                     QUAKE DAY - Minus 7

It's 1:47am, 9/15/92, and we just had a little rock & roller in
Hollywood.  It's probably a good time to bring this up, without

                 :@  ALARMING EVERYONE!!!  :@ 

An 8.3 (-/+.5) earthquake is being predicted to occur, between
now and September 22, 1992, and epicentered within 100 miles of
Palm Springs, California.  Lest you Northerners think you're
home-free, there's a 7.8 (-/+.4) scheduled for Sonoma County,
by September 28th.  And a 7.1 for San Diego, by October 14.

This information comes from Gordon-Michael Scallion, a clair-
voyant living quite safely in faraway New Hampshire.  Scallion
publishes a newsletter, and therein has reportedly been quite
acccurate in predicting the recent Florida hurricane, and other
natural disturbances.

I have seen his new "Future Map of the United States".  It's
22x34, in color, with the new coastline all the way to Denver,
plus lots of new islands, and even the resurfacing of Atlantis
just east of Miami.  [Hey!  Our old family deed might be worth
something!]  Needless to say, this is quite impressive and
should be hanging in everyone's bunker or shelter.  It includes
Early Warning Signs, Migration Regions, Political Changes,
Weather Insights, and more - all this for just $11.95.  "Not
Sold in Stores, Available only through the Matrix Institute,
RR1 Box 391, Westmoreland, NH 03467, 603-399-4916"

I'm sending for mine, today.  Hopefully it'll arrive, before the
postperson has to deliver it by rowboat.

Can't say I'm entirely unhappy about all this.  My ex-business
partner (who played the evil, slimey, embezzling, sociopathic
producer in my movie) is secretly living in Arleta.  Only seven
more days, and he could be 50 feet under sea-level.

Let the count-down begin.

Those of you located near the epicenter/shoreline could probably
give any house-cleaning a rest, for a week.  Might be depressing
to do all that work, just to have a collapsing roof mess it up.

The whole point is that some people can ride a bike backwards. It doesn't
take a trials rider to ride backwards -- some people have the knack. I
can't see how people ride unicycles yet they do.

On cheap bikes with crooked freewheels it is possible for the
friction of that asembly to overcome the other frictions and
the pedals will begin to rotate and then speed up in a very 
piculiar manner. In any case it would be possible to look at the 
film and tell if it was a reverse action photographic process.

Chris, I never saw the film. There was a debate about what the method
was that was used and someone suggested reversing the film. I only
supplied a test for that possibility.

As you see, Jittlov has since told us in a very round about way that
he pedaled very fast and then coasted up the hill for that sequence.

WOW!  I just got a letter from
David A. Kyle and Arthur C. Clarke!

Two world-famous authors in one day!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Short BG:  In February 1979, I drew a production
sketch of an Overlord, as detailed in Clarke's
classic "Childhood's End".  The ABC/Universal
mini-series was never made - but the sketch was
given by Hollywood SF consultant Doug Crepeau
to David Kyle at a Japanese SF convention, and
thence to the Overlord's creator/channeler.

The envelope and letter were enscribed in
Mr. Kyle's beautiful calligraphy, and sent
from his Skylee aerie in Potsdam, New York:

"Dear Mike - Last week I was in England for
Arthur C. Clarke's 75th Birthday Celebration.
I took with me your drawing of `Overlord' so
Arthur could autograph it for you.  Here it is..!"

And Clarke's message beside the sketch figures:

"Dear Mike - Just what I had in mind - except
that you've left off the dark glasses..."

    [-Sorry...Thought it made him look
    too much like a movie producer ;>]

Major world loss, when a genuinely soul-stirring,
brilliantly provoking story sinks into the gears
of the Hollywood machine, to have its indelible
imagery ground and reprocessed a few years later
into "Space-Nazies Do Dallas" (ie: "V")    Sigh.

Considering Mike's budget (and penchant for simple but effective effects) I
seriously doubt that he would go to the trouble of blue matting that effect.
Besides... The precision required for photographing an oblique angle of the
bike in motion and matching the mat-shot motion from the hill goes way beyond
the technology they could afford...if it even exists!

Aw, Mike, you took the wind out of my sails... :-)

I finally got a chance to single-frame through the sequence on
Saturday (thanks Rich), and there's one giveaway detail that wasn't
dealt with.  On the apparent "uphill", the cars parked on the right
side of the road all have their front wheels pointed straight ahead.
Not into the curb, as they should if they were really headed downhill.
So two conclusions are possible:

1) The drivers on Maltman Street are clueless about hills.  Doubtful
at best, though you never know.

2) It wasn't really an uphill, as several people have concluded.

Given that one would never notice this without stepping through it
frame-by-frame, though, I think it can be forgiven.  :-)
