#R:rocheste:-183100:ucbesvax:6100003:000:767 ucbesvax!turner Jun 3 17:00:00 1983 I've heard of that one. The guy who makes them (yeah, there's one or two earlier ones by the same producer, who doesn't direct anymore) is named George Luckass (I *think*) and he DID do one pretty good SF flick, expanded from his UCLA thesis project: THX-1138. That and "Zardoz" were the two best SF movies that year. THX-1138 is funny and frightening, with subtle pacing and fine character sketches. None of this dreck of "A long time ago in a galaxy just outside of Boise". I probably *could* suspend my disbelief long enough to thoroughly enjoy a Star Wars movie, but I just can't afford to rent the anchor-chain from an oil-tanker. And have anything left over to buy tickets with. *Grumble*, *Growl*... Michael Turner ucbvax!ucbesvax.turner
