I watched this on HBO, last night.

Very interesting perspective. A worthwhile 90 min. ]]> Sports and Entertainment THE Gypsy http://www.nopc.info/forum/showthread.php?t=41165 http://www.nopc.info/forum/showthread.php?t=41159&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:12:05 GMT Okay, I was born in '38, so I'll be 72 come November!

That being said, I like to reminisce about late Sunday afternoons listening to half-hour episodes on the radio of The Shadow or The FBI in Peace and War or Jack Armstrong, and others.

It was the pleasure of letting your mind fantasize the scenes, instead of everything being laid out for you. It was the mind's creativity, not robotic response. It was stimulating the mind, not numbing it.

Ten or fifteen episode serials at the neighborhood movie theaters were great, too. ]]> Sports and Entertainment marv http://www.nopc.info/forum/showthread.php?t=41159 http://www.nopc.info/forum/showthread.php?t=41145&goto=newpost Mon, 06 Sep 2010 00:51:03 GMT I watched this movie a couple nights ago.

For Michael Collins, Jeffrey and Me.

Michael Collins was the astronaut who did not walk on the moon in July 1969.

I am with you L.E.M..... (lunar excursion module). ;)

Always loved Slayer, and now I have a little bit of an extra-musical reason to do so....:D

From space babes to bubble-headed aliens, Hollywood has been infatuated with science fiction since the very beginnings of the industry. Which of these classic films was your favorite?


Barbarella (1968)

Jane Fonda plays the sexiest queen of the galaxy ever, in this classic sci-fi film -- set in the 40th century. Despite flopping in the theaters, Barbarella became a cult hit, even inspiring the name of popular band Duran Duran.



Plan 9 From Outer Space (1959)

Perhaps the most legendary movie of them all -- and often called the worst movie ever made. Directed by Ed Wood, the movie (and the director himself) were the subject of a biopic starring Johnny Depp.




Invasion of the Saucer-Men (1957)

In this sci-fi comedy, an alien is run over by teenage lovers. Yet his dead hand detaches itself, grows an eye and runs amok. Hilarity ensues!
