Oh, sorry Vic, had a senior moment. )

Still, OMG that they would do that just over a post about DTESS.

the old man says:

Thank’s Vic…

You know it would be strange if someone did a “Plan 9″ movie that was many orders of magnitude better than the poor original. Give it a “Lifeforce” scary feel. Nobody would believe it.

“DTESS”…. think a raw nerve got hit?? They should do their best to prove the opposite is true or does that take more money than civil action?? Science Fiction & Fantasy throughout its history has been high art and low art, it still makes better sense to spend $10.00 more on a better script or over all quality than to drop that same money into just special effects. Maybe that would kill SF/F movies but history doesn’t bear that out, otherwise, in this day and age, nobody would have even heard of “The DTESS!!” It was the overall quality and the timing of its release that made it. Anyway, I think a remake would have been better timed back near the end of the cold war than today. They don’t like it that you can’t spoon feed people anymore imo.

I have to ask Stephen how you came accross that site?
Were you trying to book a cruise for tomarrow, on Google and Google gave you some options?

I’ve heard that his ego blocks cell signals. If you stand to close you can’t make a call… Wait maybe that’s Warren Beatty. Hmmm
But that’s just a ugly rumor…

Stephen says:

790,

He he he, no I am doing research on Scientology and a few details came up about him. So, I was wondering what his site looked like. To my horror, not only did Tom look insane in the Scientology 101 recruitment video, but this was just so fitting for a person who bad mouthed people who he calls the spectators (those who are not yet converted).

Meh… I’m sure I’ll be approached by Scientologists again. I’ve been approached 6 times already. Last time I said, I’m with Tom, so don’t bother. That made them turn around.

But that line about cellphones not working around his ego was sooo funny! The best thing I’ve read this week!!

It also happens when I am at the sweets section at any store. I am not kidding, people I talk to, if I am loosing them on the phone they always ask me if I am at the sweets section. Most of the time I am. See I can’t eat peanuts so sweets have become a kind of a museum for me. I like to look but can’t actually touch em.

790 says:

Haha Stephen. Email me offsite if you want some tales from the El Ron Hubbard side.

Yeah Jimmy the C, I’m totally aware of “Primer” I’ve wanted to see that but the dvd is still hovering around 19.99.
I don’t support Netflix and don’t rent anymore so I’m waiting for that dvd to come down in price and then I’m going to get it. Did you like it??
