Thanks for the feedback. See the archives, dated 10-04-99, for my thoughts
concerning Campbells story, "The Thing", and the two film adaptations.
I vaguely remember "Lifeforce" as enjoyable with good effects, especially
at the end; also enjoyed "A Boy And His Dog" with the young Don Johnson,
based on the Harlan Ellison story; I grew up as a young adolescent in the
early 60's watching "Children/Village Of The Damned"; enjoyed "Westworld"
more than the later, "Futureworld"; didn't see much of "Barbarella" at
the drive-in movie because I was preoccupied in the back seat!; "Dune" an
overproduced disappointment; "Heavy Metal" good, but needed more S&M;
"Logans Run" OK; as was "Zardoz"; enjoyed the robot in "Saturn 3"; found
"THX-1138" to be interesting at first, then tediously boring; the Original
Twilight Zone Series, The Outer Limits TV Series, The Invaders TV Series,
Dr Who Tv Series, The Avengers TV Series, among others, were staples of my early youth and manhood,
these were all modestly produced series, but featured outstanding talent.
(And what about the series with Martin Landau and Barbara Bain?)
Ok, have you seen "Liquid Sky" (1983), where the UFO lands on the main character's
penthouse patio in Manhattan? I remember standing in front of the theater
at Piedmont Mall in Atlanta GA upon initial release and deciding not to view it. Curses! Now
my curiousity has been peaked after reading two favorable reviews from two
of my main review sources, the film got a solid *** rating out of ****
from Leonard Maltin, and an excellent ***1/2 out of ***** from "The Motion
Picture Guide". To worsen matters, I can't find it at my favorite video
store! But I feel confident I will eventually track it down. Lastly,
thinking of "Zardoz", didn't Connery play a cop at a space station once?
