Lazlo->
what makes a movie a cult movie is the quality of the
cult, not the quality of the movie.

Exactly.  T2 cult sucks qualitatively.  Movie good, but avoid devotee like
the Whovian.


Night of the Lepus:

   Giants rabbits attack!  All close in shots of attacks done with huge
fake paws that I assume are on poles intercut with closeups of rabbit faces.
All non close ups of attacks are of rabbits doing things near models.
When the cops stop the movie at a drive in to warn the people that giant
rabbits are on the move toward that area, they not only believe them
without question, they leave in an orderly single file.
Similiar in style to Food of the Gods (where mostly giant rats attack), but
I found this one much more comical/entertaining.  Almost felt like a TV
show at times.  Food of the Gods does have that great giant chicken
attack scene at the beginning, though.

Summation: Non tedious and fairly ridiculous, but not amazingly inspiring.
Empire of the Ants is my favorite 70's style giant thing movie (ants.  Stars
Joan Collins? or is that my memory a-foolin'?) but this probably comes
comes second.

If Irwin Allen had made this, it would have been huge.

I might further add that I have always considered the reason that time-travelers

Nope, you didn't dream the whole thing.  Comfort and Joy does exist and I
have a copy I taped off of cable to prove it.  C&J was directed by Bill
Forsythe (yes, he is Scottish) who has also directed Gregory's Girl,
Local Hero (one of my most favorite movies), Housekeeping, and Breaking In.
His films are generally underplayed comedies that start rather mellow and
just get incredibly funny as you watch them.  Great stuff, I recommend all
of them.

The alians did not feed off of endorphins.  They fed off of the

their penchant for heroin.

No, someday you'll no longer be a freshman, and things such as this will

And here is yet one more. (Even though Slartibartfasts one was refuted).

Remember the scene at the lab, where the police is making ready to attack
the house, and Arnold is at the window firing the rather heavy machine gun?

Take a *good* look at the ammunition belt of the gun. This is a rapid fire
gun. Now, oughtn't the belt move when the gun is fired? Thought so. Then
why doesn't it?

Maybe the reason that the T1000 would not be able to imitate 
someone from a phot or film is that those sources would not have
any 3 dimensional info to them. So if he took a visual sample from
them you would have him walking around looking flat
Plus you would have only what was visible from the picture.  You 
might say that with advanced computing abilities he should be 
able to use that to extrapolate a reasonable facsimle.  Which
could be true, but an innaccurate copy may make him more 
noticable than no copy.   ANd lets face it, if his creators
didn't mind him being noticed they wouldn't have gone to such
lengths at camafloge as they did.

Sorry, everyone gets this wrong.  Burroughs used the cut-up
technique in just a couple of books, not including "Naked Lunch."
Anything of his that seems carefully edited is probably not a
cut-up; the cut-ups are real hard to read.  I doubt that Burroughs
would ever admit to contrived attributes via editing; any
parallelism probably derives from continuing themes of his muse.
He certainly believes in a sort of vitriolic, entropic randomness.

All the Beats abhorred editing to differing extents, Kerouac
insisting that he did absolutely none (he did, and in his bad books
you can see where he didn't).  Spontaneous composition was the
norm.

Besides, Burroughs infamy derives from the drugs and twisted sex in
just a few of his books and from events in his own life, not from
his literary style.

There is an extensive network of steam tunnels at Duke,

We didn't have a map, so it was true subterranean exploration.
As I recall, we would start out on the main quad on East Campus
after dinner and wander around in various directions.  

There were rumours that there was a tunnel that ran all the
way to West Campus, but we didn't manage to find it before the
Inquisition put an end to the fun.  We did get past the bridge
on the way to West one time, but ran into a work crew and had 
to stalk back to the entrance to avoid detection.  One time
we surfaced in some professor's locked office and almost got
stuck there.  What fun!

Anyone at Duke ever go tunnelling these days?
