Wow, I can't beleive someone else actually saw this movie and can remeber it.
I still think this is the worst movie I've ever seen. The thing that I 
remember most was some scene where these Acorn recipients caught `space fire
flies' outside of their ship. I would love to fast-forward through this one
just to be reminded of how bad it really was.  I was only ten when I saw it,
but even then I could recognize the ultimate lemon.

Also, and I think this important, the space sailboat had sails on it. 
Unbelievable.

Running a close second was `My Stepmother The Alien', or a Bronson Pinchot 
film `High Spirit' or something like that.

I rank knowing what time it is up there with knowing who the president
of the U.S. is.  *Everyone* should have a watch and know how to use it.

And why would anybody with no concept of what time it was show up at a
theatre, get in line to buy a ticket, and wait until they are at the
front of the line before they worry about whether or not they've shown
up at a time that was appropriate for the movie they're interested in?

But what about "Friday"? Vic Lunden played an alien slave who turns up later
in the film. Also Adam 'Batman' West had a small role in the beginning of
the film.

I have a hard time equating decency and the news media. Perhaps the video

"No known human behavior"?  Come on, Jeff, what world are you living in?
Have you never heard of real people swimming without a suit?  I imagine
that quite a few people have (around 15% of Americans have done so,
according to a survey that I have heard of).  And why is it explicitly
*sexual*?  And I didn't even think that the scene was gratuitous, since
it said a lot about the girl's character.

Okay. Aliens 3 has finally come out in the UK. I saw it last night.
I'm not sure what I thought about it, but I have a few questions...

  a. Could they not get Michael Biehn for this film ? I really didn't
     like the way Hicks are Newt were killed in the first few seconds 
     of the film, after all they went through in Aliens.

  b. Someone a while back suggested a way that Sigorney Weaver could
     still be in an Aliens 4 (if they decide to do one any news on
     this ? ). Can someone please explain how this is possible. The
     only way I can think of this happening is if she comes back as an
     `artificial person'.

  c. How did the eggs get on the sulaco ? The queen detached herself
     from the egg laying part of her at the end of Aliens. Also, the
     queen was never left alone on the Sulaco.

Oh, c'mon. How could a movie starring John Wayne and Kirk Douglas be
pointless? :-)

I see IHW as following in the footsteps of "Gone With the Wind" and "From
Here to Eternity." That is, all are epics, using the vast number of sub-plots
as a yardstick. Also, romance and violence are sprinkled through the plots in
almost equal proportions. In fact, with so much screen time devoted to
courting rituals you might have to stretch the definition of "war movie"
to fit these in.

This might have been discussed b4, but my roommate just came up with
an interesting thought:

Since in T2, when they destroyed the Hyperdyne systems, thus destoying
SkyNet, they destroyed the world where john's father comes from, and
since in the first movie, he said he was born after the war started,
he doesn't exist anymore, he can't go back and make sarah pregnant...
Therefore, he can't lead the resistance so the computer will be

don't remember the star of david bit from the book.   presumably the

just joking.  it's actually an okay little book.  written back in the
fifies as i recall.  a little dated ( but so am i. )

btw, i guess they stole/borrowed/reinvented this idea ( star ) in that
george hamilton and richard benjamin dracula spoof.  ( can't say i liked
that movie. )  also, in addition to the price movie, i recall omega man
as being based ( more loosely than the price movie ) on _i am legend._  

the price movie is okay.  as i recall it's b/w,  production values
are not overwhelming.  but it's pretty faithful to the book and not
bad.  omega man is okay, too.  but i always thought the ending was a
bit weak/contrived.  not great nor near great movies, but okay.  just 
my opinion.

I may be completely wrong, but isn't Edison Carter the name of the TV
cameraman whose computerized facsimile became Max Headroom (television
series)? That is, Edison Carter was the name of the character? (Matt Frewer
was the actor who played Edison/Max).

I can distinctly recall Amanda Pays repeating that name, Edison Carter, over

I don't think it's a question of making decisions for everyone else. I
think it's a question of taste. Sexual content is often of the cook
book variety: intended to position a film for a certain market. We
watched a movie not too long ago...the Michael Fox movie "Doc Hollywood"...
in which the hero watched a naked girl come up from taking a morning
swim. The rest of the movie was, if not chaste as new fallen snow,   
relatively free of explicit sexual reference and images. The scene was
completely gratuitous and reflected no known human behaviour. And the
scene in "Doc Hollywood" is only one of most. Even "E.T." used numnull
language..."Douche bag"...to push its rating up from G to PG. 

What harm? Considerable. Try to imagine a gratuitous sex scene in, say,
"Singing In the Rain" or "The Awful Truth" or "To Catch a Thief" or
"The More The Merrier." Yuck. Try to imagine those movies being
made today. Impossible.
