 August 19, 2013 - 8:17am | The wife and I watched the movie "Elysium" this week. Good movie. A bit on the gory side (too much for my wife), so it's not one I'll be taking the kids to see, but I enjoyed the story and the visuals very much. In fact, my wife said that if it were not for the gore, she would consider it a Great Movie. I agree. It has the feel of greatness. One of those movies that becomes a classic. I highly recommend it. |

August 14, 2013 - 5:12pm | Hi folks. Just wanted to let you know that I had a stroke last year, which is why you haven't heard from me. They say it was a major stroke, and that I am very lucky to have made a full recovery. It sure took a while. Had to use a cane for a few months. Anyway, expect to see me around the boards again! |
 August 14, 2013 - 8:58am | Reputedly inspiration for Alien. It is however totally Star Frontiers. Nuclear powered rockets that land tale first, conventional weapons: grenades, semi automatic pistols and rifles, gas grenades, gas masks, magnetic shoes for walking down the side of the ship, vertical deck layout. As for inspiration for Alien: unstopable alien monster initially using air ducts to move around and kill crew. Seemingly impervious to conventional weapons, and in the end blasted out the air lock by a desperate crew. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

August 3, 2013 - 5:52pm | Just caught this movie 25 years after it debuted. Sorry that I missed it at the time as I enjoyed it and James Caan in it, you clearly needed a bad arse like him to deliver it straight and keep the movie from been too wonky. Funny I thought the girl playing Cassandra sounded a lot like Sigourny Weaver but it turns out it wasn't her playing an alien I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
