I’m back from a short vacation! and ready to go!
Scott
Peaceful! and no insects wanting to wrap themselves around your cortex to control your every movement or speech 🙂
I did get to finish watching Sliders seasons 4 and 5, man what a stinker season 5 was! 4 was not much better either. Hope your weekend was a nice and peaceful one as well?
Scott
The real Ceti Alpha V, or Ceti Alpha VI which was incredulously missing it seems from every star chart in the galaxy.
The lakes were wonderful too! you just had to watch for the undertow!!
Scott
Yes, that snake in the grass can be a real pain! nothing but a little patience and a gofer can take care of it.
Scott
I’m back to watching MEN INTO SPACE. If you ain’t seen the series, it was real science fiction, what was thought of when man/woman explored the Moon, Mars, and other space bodies, and a wheel space station. Good FX, and good stories, not a lot of action, but, enjoyable.

I have to admit I never heard of this series before! of course I was only 2 years old when it came on, but I will have to check it out. thanks my friend 🙂
Scott
It figures I would be a day late and a dollar short! The book is still available on amazon and I found a web site that sells the series for $30.00 on DVD, not to bad. I still have to finish watching a few more TV shows and a couple movies, so maybe by next month I can order this series.
Scott
It was the colorized version, not as good color as could have been, but, very watchable.
P.S. I got in the mail, some of the seeds, and plan to grow an army!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/evillaugh.gif

Great! another army that wants to take over the world and control our every thought! now where did I leave that can of DDT? 😉
That movie is still a good one! there is just something about those 1950’s movies that attracts us to still watch them? even thou we have all seen them a hundred times before!! what ever it is I like it 🙂
Good old Ted Turner, taking all these classic’s and putting color to them! it just does not work for me, I enjoy the b&w original better.
Scott
We watched movies where you imagined the horror and terror, then they started showing the grossness, and well, I got grossed, not scared.
Question, what would you prefer, an army of Things, or Triffids? What ever you prefer, I will send your way.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/064.gif

I am an "Originalist" I prefer my movies the way they were filmed (either b&w or color) wide screen, remakes are just "Lets redo this movie and improve on it" and 99 percent of the time they miss the mark by a 1000 feet.
A army of Things! they are easier to kill, all one needs is electricity 🙂
Scott
You…you…Originalist! I understand, the original is better, but, I like color, so if it is available colorized, I will get it, if not, I watch it in B&W. All that matters, is the story and acting.

Damn! I did not think of that…okay, guess I need to start buying generators then :p
For me the colorized job they do just does not look right! and makes the movie look hoke! but that is just me. Oh the story and acting has to be there, I agree. I saw the first colorized movie by TNT after Ted Tuner bought the MGM vault and it stunk! I gave the DVD to one of my cousins and bought the b&w version, it just looked better! maybe because I wear glass’s? I just know for me it looks better in b&w.
Scott
I agree colorized can be hokey. In the Thing, the face colors are really off.
I love Sci-Fi, so I watch so many different DVDs, I am now watching Filmation’s Flash Gordon. It is my second favorite behind Buster Crabbe’s serials. And, on September 22, it will be it’s 35th Anniversary. I still prefer the Filmation movie version, and it was Ted Cassidy’s last role, even tho it was his voice, for the Lion Man.
Ah, the local fauna of Ceti Alpha V, Ceti eels…
Sure, just gang up on me!;) You are right, the colors don’t look right. When I watch colorized I can tell the colors are off, like how the old Analog TV was like when the signal was bad. I still like the B&W shows, because of the stories. I have been downloading episodes of the 50’s US series Space Patrol, in B&W. Some are washed out, but, the stories and action still have me entertained.
I like the short clips of colorized Fireball XL5, and would like to see more, just not worth buying another set to see more.
Yes, I know, I’ve downloaded that collection years ago (the complete 21-disc box set was available as a torrent, complete video_ts folders with complete menus, which I still have on one of my externals!). The color versions are just a gimmick, and not necessary at all – Laurel & Hardy work best in b&w, visually speaking, the colors don’t add anything, except reducing the contrast, as you pointed out already.
And yes, I’m a big fan of L&H, like you, and have found many more movies of them not part of the 21disc collection, so my collection now is pretty much complete. Granted, the best of their collaborative work can be found on the box set, but there’s still more of them, which might be of interest to true fans.
(PCM, if you are interested in some of the more "obscure" performances of them, feel free to p.m. me 😉 )
Laurel and Hardy were great! along with The Three Stooges, and my all time favorite W.C. Fields! I did see one of the colorized version of there shorts (the three stooges) and it was absolutely horrible! at lest for me the color made it not funny at all and hurt my eyes. Now why colorizing it made it not funny, is beyond me, I have seen this episode so many times, I know it backwards and forwards, but seeing it in color does something to the eyes and brain that your mind is pulled away from the comedy routine and you forget what is happening in the foreground and are drawn to the background! at lest that is what it feels like for for me.

I had a genuine Twilight Zone/Outer Limits moment, at least to me. I got a phone call, and with my fuzzy vision I thought it was my Brother calling me, so I answered it. It was a scam artist wanting to lower my credit card interest. I hung up. Then I put my glasses on, and read the Caller ID, the call was from me, from my home phone. It was weird that I would call, with a womans voice, me, from my phone I was using to get the call. Explain this to me! Am I finally over the edge, or will Rod Sterling step out and explain it to me?

It’s called phone spoofing! the person on the other end used your home number to hide her number! your not losing it just yet AZ! it has been used on me as well, the down side is if she gets your account number, then your in deep kimchi! if you have (and everyone does) a password for your phone company I would call and have it changed. I love caller ID (one of the best things the phone company’s gave us) check to see if you can block your outgoing phone number! if you can us it.

I just finished watching 1951’s Thing From Another World. The monster is scary, not gross, and I really like the banter between the character, more real to me.
It was the colorized version, not as good color as could have been, but, very watchable.
P.S. I got in the mail, some of the seeds, and plan to grow an army!http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/evillaugh.gif
I’m not into colorized movies. Oh man, I turned on the tv last Christmas to see A Christmas Carol with Alastair Sim. Which coincidentally was also a 1951 flick. It was in colour! "What the F***!!!" I exclaimed as I almost fell off my chair. It was awful. It lost it’s crispness and depth. I simply can’t imagine what The Thing from Another World would look like in colour.
I wouldn’t mind a packet of those seeds though! Excellent.

I didn’t see color TV until 1980, and I had to buy it. So, if in color or colorized, I watch, if in B&W, I still watch, but, I prefer in living color, or close to it.

We have mentioned cheesy movies and series, my last one watched, was the serial, 1950 ATOM MAN VS. SUPERMAN. Everytime Superman flies, even with a rescued person, it is a cartoon. They also did it in 1948 SUPERMAN, both with Kirk Alyn. It is very distracting to see real/cartoon. Even the flying saucer in the serial a was cartoon. Shazam, and Batman were all real, no cartoons for the action shots. CHEESY!
I’ve never heard of Atom Man vs Superman. Makes me wonder how many of these shows were made and subsequently faded into obscurity. Talking cheesy, I caught a bit of a film today called The Day Time Ended (1979). Man, it was awful. Apparently a guy’s solar panel equipped house goes back in time, but I didn’t stick around to find out exactly what happened. I switched off when a small grey-type alien materialised and started doing a dance routine.
The Day Time Ended, with Jim Davis. was weird and a bit cheezy. But, the box set I bought called it CLASSIC.
I watched a real classic, Dracula with Christopher Lee, and Peter Cushing. Two great actors. I like the death scene of Dracula, now that was classic. Got to love Hammer films.

I was watching syfy (what a awful name) last night and watched "Big Ass Spider" I got about 30 minutes into this movie and shut it off! Good Lord what a terrible, cheesy ass movie!! Sci-Fi has turned into a joke.

Now Dracula (with Christopher Lee and Peter Cuching) is a real classic! Hell all the Hammer Dracula movies (with the two of them) are all classic’s as far as I’m concerned.
I never heard of Atom Man vs Superman either! I’m sure there were hundreds made back in the forties and fifties, which means we have not missed much.
Scott
Scott
I have to agree, Scotty and AZSneed. The Hammer collobaration between Lee and Cushing started with The Curse of Frankenstein (1957), I believe, followed by Dracula in 1958! Those two were great, but most of the follow-up movies were great, too, even if each movie series (Frankenstein and Dracula) didn’t see them together again (with one exception: Dracula A. D. 1972). But both actors, for me at last, were born for those two roles!
Christopher Lee is a step-cousin of Ian Fleming. However, he played the role of the bad guy in The Man with the Golden Gun.
(http://smg.photobucket.com/user/lloyd2/media/VTTBOTS50th_zpsd57d703f.jpg.html)
Totally agree my friend on all counts!
When Christopher Lee is gone, it real be truly an end of a great era! his roll of Dracula scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, those bloodshot eyes! and he had no lines, just used his facial expressions and body movement! what actor today can do what he did?…None I say.

A rumor I am starting, for the 50th of TOS, a new series…ST:The Geriatrics Years with all of the original cast. Since the actor for Scotty and McCoy are not available, they will be CGI, and to piss off Shatner, they will look as they did in TOS. They are thinking of doing a different hair style (rug) for Shatner every episode, so there will be some action.

I just heard Richard Kiel Dead at 74 Today! what a shame 🙁 he lived up in Yosemite Lakes (a gated community) about 40 minutes from where I live! apparently he was in the one of the local hospitals here in town. My dad met him once when my dad went to Coarsegold (a small mountain town) to have lunch with a old friend of his! Mr. Kiel was doing the same (lunch that is, with his family) and my dad went up to him and told how he liked his roll in "Moonraker" Mr. Kiel was a very humble man and well read person. He well be missed.
I read about Richard Kiel passing. I liked how he, as Jaws, went from bad guy to good in Moonraker. Most people forget, that an actor that plays bad guys, are not bad in real life, and he was not.

The only tv show in that list I remember well from the early 70ies (in Germany, that is) was "Flipper", that was VERY popular then in my country – all the kids I knew watched that one. They even did a German version of the title song:
"Wir rufen Flipper, Flipper,
den Freund aller Kinder
jeder kennt ihn,
den Klugen Delphin…"
That was the beginning, as I remember it. Translated it was something like that:
"We’re calling Flipper,
Flipper, the friend of all children,
everybody knows him,
that smart dolphin…"
Brings back memories… now I’m 53, and my kids, twin girls aged 16, are watching shows like Navy CIS, NCIS L.A.! Times change… 🙂
I was in Germany in the early 60’s as an Air Force brat, it was the first and last time I flew on a plane. I only remember seeing snow out of the window where we lived. I was about 3 or 4 years old.

What a difference from the American version….
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he’s near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper, lives in a world full of wonder,

I used to love that show, and your so right my friend, our parents had nothing to worry about when it came to that show or just about any show on TV in the 70’s.

Thank you, Squire,my friend! Yes, today is my B.D.
I just watched the 1st episode of VTTBOTS, in glorious B&W. The first time since 1964, that I have watched it in B&W. I always watched the color version.
I enjoyed it, except the way FOX cut the main title short, by not having it said,"Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, brought to you by….". It just don’t seem right to edit it so.
As a coincidence as if for my Birthday, yesterday I got a tee shirt in the mail, that was purchased and given anonymously from a Firefly member who appreciates my constant support to all the projects that appear on the Firefly forum I am a member of. The friend that mailed it, paid the postage. It is so nice to have good friends here and there.

There is nothing wrong with watching cheezy movies! I do it all the time! one of the pit falls of being retired 🙂 we have more time on our hands then ever before, but our health does not let us do the things we used to do anymore…it sucks. So we watch our movies to make time go by, but in the end we lose time! go figure!
I say the hell with it! bring on the cheezy movies!! and have a good laugh 🙂 for we are not promised tomorrow.

Happy belated birthday to both AZSneed and Scotty. Not been about much as Mrs PCM and myself have been planning our 7 year old sons Charlie and the chocolate factory party. It went down quite well in our local scout hut with me dressed up as Willy Wonka with a sweet shop made up in the kitchen. Spent about ???180 to ???200 on sweets/candy. There were between 35 and 40 kids there. That was yesterday and today I am worn and burnt out. 😉
Thank You Pearl! That is a lot of candy! if you have any left over you can always use it for Halloween 🙂 (if of course England has a Halloween there?) and I’ll bet those kids were climbing the wall’s LOL how fun that must have been.

I’m afraid I no longer have a boat after I told the European Fisheries Commission to stick their fishing quotas up where the sun doesn’t shine. When I then demonstrated this by shoving a two week old halibut up the chairman of the Fisheries commission nether regions, they sent out a NATO submarine to sink The Stinking Trout (my fishing vessel). Needless to say that I am no longer welcome in Brussels 😉 .
I am now on the rampage about a new pointless rule that they have created. Now you may think I’m joking here, but I’m not. The EU have now placed a ban on the selling of vacuum cleaners with a motor of 1,600 watts or higher, and by 2017 they won’t be able to be more than 900 watts. This is all in the belief that it will save energy. So the fact that you will have to spend twice as long actually vacuuming the floor, because it’s hardly picking anything up, thus burning more resources and wearing out the vacuum cleaner quicker. Which in turn means that the factories have to manufacture more vacuum cleaners, using more energy, and also polluting the world more with the bi products created in the manufacture of plastics, clearly demonstrates the the people making these laws in Brussels have the brain the size of a brussel sprout. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/aug/21/anger-as-eu-bans-most-powerful-vacuum-cleaners
Sorry what was the question again? 😀
Just like florescent bulbs, save energy they say. Less light, means more bulbs to light a room. So like the vacuum cleaners, bad idea in the guise of saving energy.
How about sending the find folks with brussel sprouts for brains, into space and introduce them to the vacuum of space. Fun for us, at least!

Yes, or Justice. There is one line in Justice that I think is a bit dodgy. It’s when Edo (their God type spaceship thingummy) says "Do Not Interfere With My Children Below!". Personally I think Picards response should have been "Just because we where all in one snug fitting clothes does not make us perverts" 😉

Welcome to the wonderful world of Environmentalist (or as I call them) Enviromental Nut Jobs, that having nothing better to do then tell the rest of us how to live our life’s! We have been putting up with this shit for years now (guess it took awhile to get across the pond) and people wonder why England wants to leave the EU! Hell I want to fire every person in our government! It cost more energy to recycle then to manufacture the product and some products (plastic) can not be recycled, so the cut them up to use as filler in shipping box’s. One thing is universal in all this world, you can’t change Stupid.

Sounds like a good idea to me. Yes, the EU have banned the manufacture and importation of the old fasioned incandescent bulbs as well. First of all we lost the 100watt and higher around 2009, then the 60 watt in about 2012 and I even believe we can’t get 40 watt bulbs now either. The problem with the new energy efficent bulbs are that they take a while to get to full strength when you switch them on. Now the good old incandescent bulbs came on at full illumination when you sent power to them. Seems like technology is going backwards. You’re lucky to be living in the US AZSneed where a man can use a 2800 watt vacuum cleaner under a 150 watt incandescent bulb.
Well here in California the State has outlawed incandescent bulbs, so we are stuck with fluorescent bulbs (and they did not tell us) the fluorescent bulbs (if broken) release’s mercury in the air and potentially could poison a person! Hows that for a government for the people, by the people! So far the State has not clamped down on wattage’s on vacuum-cleaners, at lest so far anyway but give them time and they well.

I’m not saying we should pollute this planet just for the hell of it, but use some common sense! is that to much to ask for! That my friend is just another reason to fire them all and start over.

My favorite scene in Mars Attack movie, IS the elimination of Congress by the Martians. I could not stop laughing!
You of course noticed that as usual, that most issues are put on hold until the AFTER the election. THAT is the time for the people to say, do something or you are out.
For 2016, I am not sure who to vote for, Howard the Duck, or Earl Pitts, Native American Red Neck. Either would be better that what are planning to run…now that is an idea….make the RUN to a finish line, and the winner will be President. Then they can say that the ran for the office. Also, no one should care about how much money they RAISED or what bank they robbed. it should be ….wait a minute…..again, tell me what do they do?
I’m off to my world, it is safer.:)

I agree! I loved that scene too 🙂
I have yet to see anyone worth voting for either, sad. I wish I could tell you what their supposed to do!, every time I open my mouth about that, congress goes and shows me how much of a bunch of ass’s they are and need to be fired. There are three things that should be done to fix all the crap! 1) move the voting age back up to 21 2) Go back to the old way, only those that own land should only vote 3) Term Limits on all of congress. Number three has be a Constitutional Amendment! it will be the only way to get congress back to business of the people, with an added rider that once your term is over with no member can run for a higher or lower office again period.
I watch MRCTV (youtube) some of the interviews of college students just goes and shows how squared up the education system really is and another reason college kids have no business voting.

I am getting a head start for Halloween movie watching, and watched the CLASSICS, The Screaming Skull, and Torment. Both were better than I thought, and had good endings, for a change. And now, I am watching a few episodes of Topper. All of them are about ghost. Next up, The Tell-Tale Heart.

I have been watching the original Clone War cartoon series. I loved the series, since I saw the 1st episode on Cartoon Network. Fast paced excitement!
I also watched the edited together of episode into a movie of the Ewok cartoon series. I still like it, except for the music change.
I hope that Disney will release the Ewok Droids Adventure Hour on DVD. Since Disney owns ABC and Lucasfilm, I see no problem, just when.
Knowing Disney, they will release it when they thank they can make millions off it and not until then. By the time they do, you and I will be so old we wont remember our own damn names, let a lone who or what is an Ewok.

It’s the "Merv Griffin Show" with Shatner and Nimoy together on it, promoting "Wrath of Khan". As always, they have a great chemistry and definitely show their deep affection for each other.

Interesting plot about trying to send man into space, at first ambivalent about if aliens are sabotaging the attempts, or if some enemy on Earth is behind it.
The Corman movie is one that I have not seen, yet. And it was made in a good year.

Probing?? holly crap! are the aliens probing for methane again!! I will never understand why a race that can travail billions of light years, come to this planet just to prob for farts 😉

I still have to finish Flash Gordon series, it is not a bad Sci-Fi series, but it ain’t Flash Gordon. It is like calling a hog a chicken, but it still taste like pork.
And your new (season three) Scotty avatar is nice!

That’s about how I felt when I watched the new flash series! a lot of potential but no substance, the editing was terrible, the music was okay, visual effects was okay…all in all it was not the flash I had hoped for.
George Pal movies! now there is some fun stuff, used to love watching them on TV when I was a kid, I would love to see them all on the big screen, the only one I did was Doc Savage: The Man of Bronze! and have it on DVD.
Let us know how you liked the Flash Gordon series?

Well done Mr Scott. Have a wee dram on me. I hopped back to 1746 to pick up this bottle. Not sure how good it will be, but the Laird of the McCrimmons clan swore by it.
Thank ye laddie, if the Laird McCrimmons clan swore by it then it’s good enough for me. Because you been such a fine laddie and a good friend, I’ll play me piper for you and we can sit around the fire and get roaring drunk and talk about one of my Heros William Wallace!

Munsters Go Home! that is a blast from the past! I saw that was on one of the cable channels several weeks ago 🙂 but wanted to watch something else. My kids watched that show, but I always worked and never got a chance to see it. I hope it is good for you AZ!

I bought on DVD yesterday, and watched 1932 The Mummy, and 1933 The Invisible Man. I had both on VHS, and did not want to fool with setting up everything to see them. I love the Invisible Man, it is still an awesome movie. The Mummy is still good, but, a little slow compared to the juicy movie version.
NOW, to The Real Ghostbusters.

There is going to be a lot of leftover candy around these parts!
I love winter, I would rather be a little cold then roasting all night long 🙂 Where I live it snows about once every ten years (if then) but it gets cold enough to snow, we just get fog! sometimes so bad you can’t see your hand in front of your face. Though none of that helps the idiots on the freeways that drive at full speed (65 to 70 mph), even if they can’t see two feet in front of themselves. I-(Interstate)5 comes through a portion of the county I live in and several years ago a windstorm came up and one minute the freeway was there and the next it was gone! 70 plus trucks, cars ended up in the biggest pileup in our history (of course where this happened on I-5 happened to be right at the edge of the county line, 45 minuets from downtown and the nearest trauma 1 hospital) needless to say 9 people were killed (it could have been worse) but it sure caught us with our pants down! we were not prepared at all. It took us and the CHP over a week to figure out what happened and to clean it all up. That my friends, is one of the reasons I stay off the freeways around here…to many idiot drivers.

I heard a race car driver got practice on the Southern Boulevard in Montgomery, AL, I believe it! The worst drivers I have experienced, Elmore County, AL.
I bought Saturday at Winn Dixie, a four Hammer classic movie pack. Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, Horror of Dracula, Frankenstein Must Be Destroyed, and The Curse of Frankenstein. Late for Halloween, but, a not to miss set.

I don’t know where I got this from (my mom or dad) but me feet stay warm all year round! you could put a 20 pound turkey on my feet and thirty minutes later it is cooked. I used to force my ex-wife out of bed because of the heat my feet generate at night. I can believe it, all one has to do is drive one of our freeways and see all the tire marks on the concrete divider, glass and debris on the freeway and get right off. In the 40 years I have been driving, I have had two accidents, both where not my fault, no moving citations or parking tickets, I get calls or mail from every insurance company wanting me to join them. lol
You lucky dog! I would love to have them!! AMC showed Dracula Has Risen From The Grave, Horror of Dracula Friday night! they were great!!! we just have the normal video stores, which suck! where they in letterbox? I love letterbox, just the way it was filmed and should be seen.
Scott
When my feet are cold, I’m cold, and when my bald head is hot, I’m hot. So Winter is rough for me.
P.S. Stop over at my house Thanksgiving day, and cook my turkey….please wear socks!:)
I know the feeling on the bald head, your like my brother, his feet are always cold, you should get one of those electric lap blankets! my mother had one and works great to keep your feet warm on those cold days and nights.
LOOOL socks are mandatory cooking things on my feet 🙂 not that my feet stink! they smell like roses 😉

I agree 100 percent my friend! The Outer Limits and Twilight Zone were the best and still are. I love to watch them, but TNT is not the same anymore. The only time I see The Twilight Zone is on the syfy channel and it has to be some major Holiday. One of these days I have to get both shows! Thanks for the link, I enjoyed watching Shatner not remember his parts on The Outer Limits, just the pay check. lol Martin Landau is still a wonderful actor, his memory is sure better then Shatners 🙂

****************
I’m guessing that Pre-Kirk was in the second season. I have the 1st season, and did not see him.
AZSneed, it was this episode:
Ep. 34 (2×02) – 26/Sep/64 – Cold Hands, Warm Heart
If you want to see it, let me know, and I’ll upload it for you (about 300 MB, I believe, in avi format). 😉
Update:
Found this youtube video, a nice intro to that episode, so you can see what to expect:
It’s All in Your Mind – William Shatner – YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rZG8a5Bvb8)
It may contain some (visual) spoilers, so if you really don’t know the episode, you may want to wait for my upload! 😉

Just finished watch the complete series of Conan live TV series. It is not too much like the novels, but entertaining all the same.
Boy has Vegas changed! of course the last time I was there was 20 years ago LOL my brother and I spent the best time on Fremont Street (the real home of Vegas) it was great seeing the old casinos and hotels again, they can keep the new casinos/hotels nothing but shops and more shops and miles of even more. We walked six miles and saw tons of all the new buildings and more and more shops! the whole new area is like one long shopping center, with a few recognizable fast food names (McDonalds, Burger King) thrown in and everything on the strip costing double! I normally pay about $4.00 for a pack of smokes at home, there it was $11.00! Fremont street as I said was the best part of the whole trip! all the old casinos/hotels are still there (names have changed) they have all been updated and remodeled, there is a metal canopy over all of Fremont street with LCD monitors in the top and they do a light show every hour! that was great! (if you ever go make sure you do it at night) there is a zip line that goes all the way done Fremont ($20.00 gets you half way and $40.00 gets you all the way down Fremont) and they concreted Fremont street, so it is one big walkway. The hotels are far cheaper there then on the new strip, my brother and I (the next time we go) are going to stay at the Plaza (which is at the end of Fremont street) plus the Plaza has been totally remodeled and looks great! live bands at every side street (each takes its turn through out the night) I can’t tell you all how much fun we had walking down the old strip and the different individuals dressed up, I saw Darth Vader, Chewie, Dorthy (wizard of oz, this Dorthy was not for kids, if you know what I mean), Chris Farley (of course impersonator) several American indians (not for kids either lol) and several statue people, which was fun to pose with and take pictures (which I can’t post because my brother would kill me 🙂 ) the whole experience on Fremont street was the best time we both had there, can’t wait to go again! but it is good to be home again.

It is a shame about your Brother’s troubles, and good to have a Big Brother like you to make him forget, if not for a short time.
My Brother will be 50 in January, so we are really close in age.

We are five years apart, but I have always had a soft spot for him! Thanks AZ that was the main motive was to get him to forget for a while! my other brother and I are 15 months apart and have bump heads all our life’s…go figure!
I like that High Shine car wax, nearly blinds all on coming people and cars LOL sure makes it easy to get through a crowd, there all covering there eyes and on coming cars violently move out of my way 🙂 makes me feel like I’m back in a patrol car with the red and blue lights going again.
Yes you are crazy, so move the hell over and let me in! just think of the light we can both bounce off our heads and how much easier we can get from point A to point B together 🙂

p.s. the dog we had as kids was a black lab named "Prince" he was the best! we called him butthead for short, he had a mind of his own, but no coordination…hence Butthead.
I CAN’T SEE YOU! PUT A CAP ON! 🙂
I had a cat named Spock, he would follow me walking in the woods out back of the house, then I had to carry him back. CATS!

Really!
He (my brother just below me) is taller then me 6’4 to my 6’1/2 and weighing in at close to 300 pounds to my 225 pounds! those that don’t knows us, and you put the two of us together they think he is the oldest! and we have the same lack of hair on our head…go figure.
Careful! I’ll tilt my head to the right angle, blind you and incinerate you at the same time 😉
You got to love them! (animals) because of the medication I take my mouth drys out pretty fast, so I kept a glass of water next to my side of the bed, one night I got woken up because I heard a slurping sound, I opened my eyes and there was my cat with her head down in my glass drinking my water! damn cat! so I picked up my glass and put it in the kitchen, then in the sink and went back to bed. A few minutes later the damn cat is meowing right in my face! I shooed her away and a minute later she was right back meowing in my face again. The only way to shut her up was to get up and fill the glass with water and put it back on the night stand and had to do that every night until she died! what we do for our animals lol
My little brother (the little shit, we are the same height too) still has all of his hair and loves to remind me of that! Siblings, what can you do with them…love them or shot them, you lose no matter what lol

I watched again 007 Moonraker. It is my first 007 movie I watched in the theaters, and I was really interested to see it because of the first time to see a Space Shuttle go into space. It is a real enjoyable light hearted movie, and my favorite. I also, watched it to add more music to complete my soundtrack and more research for the model I am doing. I am building the 747 carrying the Moonraker Shuttle.

I got a call one night of a bar fight in a very small county (piss ant) town, when I arrived the fight was still in progress, so I called for backup and a few minutes later my backup arrived. The fight was a normal Friday night drunk fight between..wait for it…..you guess it! drunk illegals over some broken down women, that had a face that would scare the bark off of a tree! anyway we broke up the fight and the guy I had in custody settled down and was ready to spend the rest of his night in jail. As I was putting him in the back of my vehicle I heard this cry IEEEEEEEEEEE! I looked over to were my partner was and I saw his prisoner legs fold out from under him and start to head toward the ground, my partner had hold of his cuffs [which were behind the prisoner back] (we call this the cop two step, where the officer grabs the chain in between the cuffs and pulls up, which has the effect of pulling the arms out of socket and is very painful to say the lest, but it does make the person stand up real fast) but that was not causing this guy to go down, after I got mine into the car, I walk over to my partner and this guy keeps crying out IEEEEEEEE! and dropping toward the ground! I’m like what the hell is going on? I walk up to my partner and just before he gets the guys head into the open door, the guy cry’s out again IEEEEEEEEE! and goes flying into the back seat! my partner turns around and in his hand is his stun gun!! His prisoner pissed on him and he was mad as hell (because he was going to have to drive all the way back to the jail in a heated car with the smell of piss in the air and for the guy pissing on him to begin with) I laughed so hard I thought I was going to pee my pants!! from then on every time we responded to the same call of some bar fight both of us would call out IEEEEEEEEEE! as walked toward the bar!
So to answer your question I bet he said IEEEEEEEEEE! LOL
Fun times 🙂

Spectre and Scott, It glad y’all had a good Thanksgiving. I was alone, except for my dog, and just cooked Turkey Sunday, too cold for the oven to boot up. But, it was still a nice day with the Christmas lights burning brightly. Don’t feel bad for me, I still enjoyed being with my dog AKA Little Girl.

So that was my dog’s problem was. I keep at her to tell me when things happen, she pulls her Cat act on me, "I’M THE BOSS AND DON’T FORGET IT! IF I WANT TO TELL YOU, I WILL!"
As long as you remember drinking the stuff….maybe it ain’t good you did remember.
I don’t know about beef flavored Tribbles inside a Turkey, and all of the hair…everywhere….worst than a shedding dog.

I have made a RETURN TO THE PLANET OF THE APES. I really like this animated series. Sure the animation is limited, but, the detail is awesome. And, Dean Elliot’s music fits the Ape Universe perfectly.
Ain’t that the truth! but as soundtreakker said "La La Land is not going to shot there whole wad in one shot" got to build up the tension for volume 2 and as one of my favorite movie lines goes "The search for more money"

Another classic I watched, THE MAN FROM PLANET X. I like the classic alien coming to take over the world stories. One star was William Schallert, our Under-Secretary Nilz Baris on K-7.

I’ve been redoing my DVD covers so I can put them into Blu-Ray boxes so things will look a little neater. Being that you guys appreciate the older films etc, I thought you might like to see the cover I designed for Flash Gordon Conquers the Universe. I tried to give it a retro look.

WOW! that looks great Pearl! I would be proud to display this in my home or store (if I had one) any time my friend. You should copyright it and send it to one of the company’s that make the case’s for these classic movies! Wonderful Pearl, just wonderful! very professionally done.
Scott
You are quite welcome my friend! you should make a portfolio of all the designs you have done and take it around to the graphic company’s there in England, they could use your talent! and you do have a very good talent.

It’s just about all I’ve been able to do this week. My back went on Sunday and the Doc signed me off work on Wednesday. In a lot of pain when I move. 🙁

I agree with Scott, about showing your work around to get a job doing graphic arts.
I’m sorry to hear about your back, take care, my friend.
It’s just about all I’ve been able to do this week. My back went on Sunday and the Doc signed me off work on Wednesday. In a lot of pain when I move. 🙁
Ouch! I know how you feel, I too have a bad back and when it goes out I can’t stand or walk, the only thing my doctor gives me is pain meds (Vicodin, which I hate to take for pain) and Demerol (a muscle relaxant) I do not like being not in control of myself.
You really should Pearl! you do excellent work and better then some of the so called professional’s do! plus you won’t be on your feet as much, which should help with your back problems, as long as they give you a chair with good back support and the real major point is, you like to do this job and your really good at it! that is what I have always told my sons! what ever you do in the work field or life, just make sure you love the job you do! If you do, then you well go places and be happy! if not, then you well do crappy work and end up getting fired or quit and be unhappy for years. Plus what’s the worst they can say to you! Thanks but we are not hiring right now! they differently cannot say your work is bad, unless the person is a total moron or wants to steal your work (that’s why you have to copy right it or at lest put your name on it, so they can’t) I don’t know what program you use but it has to have a add watermark option! if not then you have to print one out and find a way to add it to your images, this way your covered. I have used all your CD covers you did for Enterprise Soundtracks and keep all the others you have done (who knows, they maybe worth something to a collector one of these days and I can move to a nice island with a sandy beach with a Pi???a Colada in one hand and a pair of chi chi’s in the other 🙂 ) either way, you win and I win!

Yeah, sure… but WTF? Just 1000 copies to be printed? There must be ten thousands of potential buyers for this product, which, if it’s true what’s been reported so far, may be the most accurate and objective account of the making of STTMP, just like the Cushman books are for TOS. That kind of marketing strategy is the reason for piracy, and since I’m not in a position to get hold of this in Europe (no amazon distribution!), I’m hoping for a digital pirated copy in the near future! Just saying…
I’m sure they well put it out as an ebook, as soon as they see the 1000 copy’s are bought up and now that the pirate bay is gone, they well be rejoicing even more.

I just transferred from cassette the soundtrack to Buck Rogers movie 1979. The real surprise was the new cassette out of the wrapper of Where Eagles Dare. It sounds better that the download I got of the complete score.
For Christmas, I ripped from cassette the audio book of Jacob Marley’s Christmas Carol by Tom Mula, and it last about 2 hours. I was only released on cassette. I saw on Amazon that it was being offered by two persons for over $2,000 each.

I remember when I lost two 1TB hard drives, That was really heavy as well. especially the photos that were lost and were irreplaceable. 🙁
Everything I had was on 2 3 TB drives! yeah the photos was the worst! I had years of photos, scans of family, documents going back several generations, all gone…I just wanted to cry. Now that my mother is gone I have no one to help figure out who all these people are…just sucks on so many different levels.

Thank You Spectre! 🙂 I could not ask that of you or anyone else for that matter, I appreciate your willing to help, but that is to much to ask of one person.

Belly up to the bar gentlemen, the drinks are on me!
Thank You all for your kind help! If I need anything I know I can ask anyone of you 🙂 The major problem has been Waterfox! there is some bug in the code that makes Waterfox (Version 34.01) crash every time you try to download from Mega! so far the person that makes Waterfox is aware of the problem and a fix is supposed to come out next week or next year…I hope! until then if I have to download from Mega I have to use IE (yuck)

Well good old Alabama Public TV. Glad to hear you get to see some of the good British TV series.
Indeed. Mrs. Slocombe’s pussy. Something I’d like to see again…. (uncomfortable pause) is "Max Headroom". Not seen that for eons. I also tend to watch "Alan Partridge" whenever that’s repeated. DAN! DAN! DAN! DAN! … DAN! DAN!… DAN!!! Also "Father Ted". Just watched the Christmas Special for the umpteenth time.
I loved Father Ted. How could you not love those characters, especially Father Jack Hackett "Feck, Drink, Women!" great show.

Sorry to hear you don’t get those programmes my friend. Have you never had the chance on seeing Inspector Morse? Such a great programme. It’s not your fast moving action cop show, it runs a gentle pace, but is so good, with great acting and the music is a mixture of classical and Barrington Pheloung. Morse was played by the late great John Thaw Inspector Morse (TV series) – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inspector_Morse_(TV_series)) . I have the 3 soundtrack CD’s if anyone is interested.
I’m really looking forward to watching them again.
Two British Sci-Fi I discover last year were Star Cop and Moonbase 3. I really like both very short lived series. I’m amazed how the effect in Moonbase 3 holds up so well, and the strained relation of the crew, very real, to me. Star Cops, had great potential, a shame it was killed off. And, I love the song by Justin Hayward.

Yes, I totally agree AZ, another two great series. Moonbase 3 was written by Barry Letts and Terrance Dicks, who are best known for their time in Doctor Who in the 70’s with Jon Pertwee. Problem was it was too realistic for TV of that time and didn’t please the audiences, a real shame as it was a super programme. I think Star Cops suffered from the same issues, and was prematurely axed as well. It is a cool theme tune.
Joan Hickson was the best Miss Marple ever, and likewise David Suchet is the best Poirot.
You’re excused. 🙂 Unfortunately our favourite filmmaker is throwing together chapter 7 as we speak. Why must the great cosmos test us so?!! Come back George! All is forgiven!

I’m really looking forward to watching them again.
Just bits and pieces! my mother loved to watch them, at that time I had not been long on the force and my first child was on his way so I had little time to watch almost anything. I’ll check to see if I can still get them here or have to order them from somewhere else. Yeah losing so much just sucks, that’s the main reason I opted for a NAS, and low and behold it burns to the ground taking everything (years worth of pictures, scans and music) with it! what I would not give to have isolinear chip memory setup 🙂

Those that burned George for what he did (to his own creation by the way) stuck with him, that when Disney made an offer he could not refuse, hell he took it…Who wouldn’t want 3 billion dollars! (yes I know he got 5 billion) but he really only got 3 and the other 2 was preferred (which only owners or those on the board of directors get) stock (you and I get what is called common stock, so no matter how much you own, you will never get control of a company) which put Mr. Lucas on the board of directors of Disney, since they had an opening (Steve Jobs seat was open) and he still gets script approval (it’s in his contract) and he no longer has to deal with all the hate mail and comments…JJ will! ha ha ha so if JJ fucks up Star Wars (which is a given) it will be on him. The question I have is what happens to Indiana Jones films? does Paramount just have disputation rights? or do they own a piece of them? Update: Disney does indeed own the franchise! damn!! but Paramount owns the disputation rights! There goes that.

I have a suspicion the new flick will be less rewarding than "Howard the Duck". Maybe all folks want these days are ‘cool’ special effects. I dunno. At ???20gbp/ticket, I won’t be tempted to discover how bad it is story-wise.
LOL I am right there with you! I’ll wait until it goes to the three dollar movie theater then pay $20.00 bucks for another JJ movie, especially what he did to Trek, fool me once shame on him, fool me twice, shame on me! Or wait until it hits Red Box!.

It’s clear we’re not going to be rid of this guy. So I propose in an open letter to Mr. Lucas, to please lock up JJ Abrams his dungeon and teach him the basics of filmmaking. For starters he’ll need to write out ten thousand times "I will not use lens flares" every time he uses a lens flare. Also I’m available to swing by with a heavy duty cattle prod a-la THX1138 to administer behaviour correction measures (ie give him a good poke) whilst wearing a Jar Jar Binks costume and saying "Yusa no yusa lens flare".

Of course only Great Britain (that includes Canada) is given access as well, since all the transatlantic phone lines go through Canada (US law only goes to the border) and Australia (because of the Asia phone lines go through them and Cristal Springs being NSA Download link in that region of the world) have access. The rest of the Western world has to find out there own way, unless it is an National Security situation, then they will be informed…we do have treaties and have to inform them, as they with us…good old CYA.

I’m still watching The Real Ghostbusters. Over 150 episodes to watch….WHO ARE YOU GOING TO CALL?……I need to see my Brain Care Specialist.
I just finished watching all 54 episodes of the 1st Season of Digimon on VCD. These are the Japanese version with Japanese songs, but dubbed in English. I prefer the FOX KIDS version. I became a fan of the show, and I have the toys to prove it.:)
I was organizing my CD collection, and found out that some Soundtracks I bought from Monsters in Motion are burned, not manufactured. They look like they are, but, looking at the playable side, and I can tell they are not. Has anyone else noticed?

I’m sure you noticed Scott has been missing from here. I contacted Scott, and he was in the Hospital, and got released today. We almost lost our friend. He is better, and will be back, when he feels better. God speed, Mr.Scott!
Sorry to hear that. I hope he gets well soon.

Like I said, I like the series, more as a sci-fi series, than Star Trek. I just can’t except it as Star Trek.
I bought last week the complete series of Cowboy Bebop. I had it on an over compressed set, but, this one I really enjoyed. It was like seeing it for the first time, very clear detailed picture. It was like moving up from VCD to Blu-ray, when comparing quality.
I also bought the anime, Halo Legends. I really enjoyed it, even tho I didn’t even know about the game Halo. And, I bought Orson Welles’s Citizen Kane. I have heard how great it is, well I enjoyed it, but, nothing real special about it, to me.
It is true about Blu-ray. Now, I don’t have Blu-ray, I can’t afford to upgrade everything, but, from what screen grabs I have seen, I wish I could.
I hate to keep re-buying movies. I bought Silent Running with Bruce Dern on Beta, VHS, and DVD. And, the Beta costed me $50.00 in the early 80’s.
I just don’t like how computers are getting smaller, with my eye sight getting worst with age, I need big. I have a 19 inch monitor, just right for me. Of course, If I had a big screen TV, then it would not matter, just view PC on it. I can’t afford to upgrade, hell, I can’t even pay attention anymore.:)
Note: We need a "thanks" button too. I didn’t really "like" your message…
WHAT! You don’t like my post? 😉 I agree about the "thank you" button.
Thanks for the update, AZSneed! 🙂
I hope it is Bones treating Mr. Scott.
Anyone here ever watched episodes of the 50’s TV series, Space Patrol? If not do a search on youtube, and you will find many episodes. Watch out for episodes from the other Space Patrol from the UK, a puppet series, different series altogether. The series is about Buzz Cory, Commander-in-Chief of the Space Patrol on the man made planetoid, Terra. The series has episodes on various planets in our solar system and beyond, and our favorite..time travel. So far I have downloaded 45 episodes, and have about 25 on DVD. Since it was live, they made copies of the episodes on film, from a camera aimed at a monitor, so the quality varies. It is considered cheesy now, and I like cheezy.:)
Season four has the Mirror Mirror like TOS episode and the TOS Defiant. A real wicked episode.
Voyager, I liked for what I saw. It is the only ST series I have not seen much of. I have the first season only. I liked that they got back to seek out new worlds to contact, and new peoples to meet. Robert Picardo (the holo doctor) is the only ST actor I ever saw and heard in person. I sat across the isle from his wife, which I just found out he divorced in 2012.
I have never seen any of the Star Trek series actors in person. 🙁 The 3rd season reminded me of DS9 during their war with the Dominion. The nice thing about seeing only a very few episodes of Enterprise and Voyager is that it is all new to me. I usually watch TOS, DS9 and TNG once a year. I enjoy it but no surprises when you seen them several times before.
IMO Voyager has some great episodes.
They guys in charge of remastering addressed an issue in Encounter at Farpoint where Data and Riker are walking behind a bush on the holo-deck. Originally, two shots were overlapped where they enter and emerge from the greenery, with a simple blurring that didn’t work very well. Now it’s seamless. Looks like that scene annoyed someone other than just me.

In TOS they come back. I can’t remember if McCoy was the first to get iced on the ‘amusement planet’, but he got put back together again, unlike Humpty or Trip.
The Day of the Dove, man, that was a bloodbath. They got whacked by the boat load, and were restored to good working order for the pleasure of a diabolical alien ‘thing’.

Yes your right it was a terrible lost for the Klingon Empire one that they will never forget, who knew that a simple Tribble hunt would start a war. I heard the Romulans armed the tribbles with high explosives 🙂

Let me make one thing clear, we will not have taxes on the Internet, it will be fees. Of course, we are not stupid, fees ARE taxes, no matter what they say.
Unrelated or not, you decide. In Alabama, the Republican Governor is going to raise taxes because they can’t stop over spending, and to do it with out us voters having a choice, because we would NOT approve more taxes. And, they wonder why they need new voters, because us old ones have more sense to NOT vote for them.

I was going to start watching the 1st season Star Trek Discovery which I just pick up but instead I am watching TOS so I can spend some time with an old friend Mr. Spock. I always thought that Leonard Nimoy would be the last TOS actor to die. I suppose it was because he played a Vulcan and they live long lives-kinda silly of me to think that way.
Yes, we think of them as larger than life, and they are just like up.
They had a nice tribute on NPR radio yesterday.
Another thing I’m starting to find annoying is that the original 4:3 aspect ratio has been kept. Fair enough for a Blu-Ray release. It would have been nice to see a cropped 16:9 version on the tv like they’ve done with TOS which is really filling the screen nicely. Incidentally, today’s TOS episode was Who Mourns for Adonais?

I read that Obummer likes the idea of having mandatory voting. He has no clue, people don’t vote because the poli-tick-ians don’t listen/care about us, so why vote for them.
I saw more episodes of Year Two in 1977, I liked them, still had the great FX, but not a fan of the music by Derek Wadsworth. My favorite Wadsworth music was from The Day After Tomorrow:Into Infinity pilot/NBC Special.
So did I! That was the very first release back then, when Compact discs still were science fiction. I played that one countless times, it was great to hear that dramatic music for Breakaway, always gave me goosebumps! That LP is still part of my vinyl collection.
I thought most of Gerry & Sylvia Anderson’s catalogue was pretty good stuff. ‘Joe 90’ and ‘Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons’ were a couple of my faves along with ‘Space 1999’.
As for the Anderson’s series, from Fireball XL5 to Captain Scarlet I really like. I have yet to see Supercar. Captain Scarlet was my first set I bought and it was a good one to start with. I though seeing the strings would be a turn off, and I was wrong. Once you get into the story, you forget the strings. That is the power of Gerry Anderson.
Regarding Voyager, I’ll vouch for it. It has some great episodes. I’d say the same for DS9 if anyone asks.
Tonight’s report on TNG remastered: It was the "Q Who" episode where the Enterprise is forced to confront the Borg for the first time. I’m sure you all know the scene where the cube starts to repair itself and it looks like a reverse play of a clip of some plastic model kit parts being melted with a small torch or heat gun. Unfortunately, it looks the same in the new version. Doh! But the rest of the Borg cube shots look clean and more realistic.
As for changing the FX in TNG, I say leave it. I like some of the TOS "replacement" FX, but some did not need it. So the same might go for TNG.
As I said, Voyager is one series I have not seen much of, but I liked what I did see. DS9 like Enterprise, has it’s good and not so. But, both ended lousy for me.

You’re right about the length of those shows. Filmmakers ought to consult you before they complete the story-boarding. You’d save them a pile of cash and the audience would be more delighted.
Nitrosis, is this the remastered TOS? Season 2 is the strongest, but, all three have their gems. DS9, is a very good series, which I like a lot. Trials and Tribbleations my all time favorite DS9. When I saw it on TV for the first time, I was grinning the whole episode. I’m glad you are enjoying the series, and it is hard to believe that September 8th of next year that TOS will be 50 years old. I was 8 years old fixing to turn 9 when it debuted.
Nitrosis, I agree about Dax, she sure looked good in that uniform. For the last 10 years or so I watch DS9, TNG and BAB5 once a year-have all 3 on DVD. I recently picked up Star Trek Enterprise and watch it-not bad and now working on season 3 of Voyager which I also just picked up. Didn’t see much of either when they came out so they both are new to me.
Watched the new Thunderbirds show yesterday, "Thunderbirds Are Go". It’s a full cgi affair, and to cut a long story short, I didn’t like it very much. I’ll spare you the ranting critique. Needless to say the puppet and string deal is superior.
I’m not surprised about the new Thunderbirds, I find that you usually can’t improve on the original. I still prefer models over CGI.
OK, you Sci-Fi/Horror fans, I found a blog that has scans of pressbooks of many movies, like…Movie Pressbook: Star Trek the Motion Picture (From Zombos’ Closet) (http://www.zomboscloset.com/zombos_closet_of_horror_b/2013/05/star-trek-the-motion-picture-pressbook.html)
Yeah, what can you do. I presumed the new show would be similar in principle to the old one which had appeal for all generations. It looks like the target audience of the new show is strictly kids.
The new Borg…Resistance is Fruity.

Yes, tonight’s episode of TNGrm was Survivors.
I just finished re-watching Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. Dark Knight Rises is the best, but the ending is confusing.
That’s good news, indeed! He probably was deeply buried in a pile of technical manuals and forgot to check the incoming subspace messages for a couple of weeks! Hey Scotty, don’t scare us again that much, ol’ fellow, will ye?
Kidding aside, tell him to do what the doctor says (even if it’s not McCoy!), and a quick recovery! 🙂
Watched Batman Returns, not as good, but way better than the other two that followed. I liked Danny, Catwoman, too psycho for me.
Just finished Batman and Robin with Batgirl. Arnold was cool as Freeze, Ivy was also good as a villain, Bane…idiot! It was almost like Batman 1966, but, not that bad.
Now to watch…..Batman Forever…..where is my nausea pills. I can’t stand Jim Carrey.
I have Adam West Batman Movie, and it is too silly to me. I could have bought on ebay the complete series way cheaper than offered now, and I just could not talk myself into buying them.
Today I bought Birds of Prey complete series. I never watched it so something new to watch….finally.
To be fair, Adam West did a great job as Batman and Bruce Wayne, but, could not stand Robin.
I liked the series, but when Bat Girl came on the scene it kind of got spoiled.

I watched the last episode of the 1960 episode of CBS’s Men into Space, with guest star Marshall Thompson, about the first trip to Mars. In 1959 he starred in the movie First Man in Space, and in 1958 he starred in the movie, It! The Terror from Beyond Space, about leaving Mars after a crash landing.

My deepest condolences to you for the loss of all the loved ones from your family, I can, partially at least, feel how that must be for you: my aunt died earlier this year, she was in her mid-seventies, and her husband followed her just 3 months later. But that’s the way life goes: birth, marriage, death, and then, again new life, it’s the cycle of life we all are part of. It’s important that we all make the best of it, each new day.
That gag was so good, and like a lot of stuff on Trek, was reused in TNG.
Awful quiet here, hope Scotty is alright, been busy with life or should I say death. Four members of my family died in the last month or so. I’m hanging in there-bright side is I went to a wedding this pass weekend instead of another funeral. Hope everyone else here is doing well.
Thanks soundtracker, been busy trying to deal with settling the estate and the IRS-what a pain.
That’s sounds awful. Condolences.
On a lighter note, we’re getting an amusing commercial on tv here featuring a classic theme as the soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re-Bqup7mGo
Tonight’s episode of TOS on tv was "By Any Other Name" where Scotty says "It’s green." Tonight’s episode of TNG was "I, Borg" which means Relics is a few episodes away, where Data says to Scotty "It is green."
I caught a Trek documentary recently where they discussed Phase II. The tests they showed were really, really awful. Really. It could’ve been called Hippy Trek, or Disco Trek. Sheesh. Thanks go to Mr. Leonard Nimoy for opting out of the new series and consequently forcing the studio to produce a film. I’m hoping a quantum leap on such a scale is about to happen again in the Trek universe.
Yeah, they had to ‘overhaul’ it as HD would have magnified all the flaws in the FX. After all, they still want to cash in on the global syndication. 🙂
Seasons 4 and 5. What a frigging shame. That show was drowned in a bucket of water before it matured. Bastards.
Yes, that’s true, but season three had its highlights. Coincidently, right now I’m watching "The Empath", which is a nice character study about Kirk, Spock and McCoy and shows the beautiful chemistry and friendship between the "big three". Also, it has a great female guest star with Kathrin Hays, who played "Gem", communicating all kinds of emotion without speaking a word (playing a mute alien).) Rounding up this episode was a terrific and most emotional score by George Duning.
Too right.

In the UK The Empath wasn’t broadcast until the mid-90s. Same as Plato’s Stepchildren and the pilot with Jeff Hunter. Maybe another episode too, I’m not sure. And I have to ask "Why weren’t these episodes shown along with the others?"
Yes, I vividly do remember the BBC ban of four episodes in your country, back in the early eighties. See, I’m from Germany, and during the first run of trek in Germany (1972-74), we only got exactly 39 episodes, the remaining 39 episodes were shown much later on a private channel in the late 80ies (on SAT1). So, as a huge trek fan from the beginning, in the early 80ies I was desperately looking for the missing episodes (which at least I was familiar with through the James Blish novelizations, which I imported from the U.K. back then). Well, when the first trek videos on VHS were released in the U.K., some of the first were those four banned episodes (which, of course, were in great demand in the U.K., obviously), so I thought, why not start with them (the banned episodes were also part of the yet unknown 39 episodes in Germany). The four episodes were "The Empath", "Plato’s Stepchildren", Whom Gods Destroy", and "Miri", which, I believe, all got a PG15 rating on VHS. (PG = Parental Guiding, for those unfamiliar with the British rating system.) Later, when the complete run of trek TOS was released on VHS in the U.K., I completed my collection, of course (always preferred the U.S. original version).
The reason for the ban? Dunno, but probably the torture scenes in "Empath", the brutal and senseless murder of Marta in "Whom Gods Destroy", the disturbing scenery on Miri’s planet, where kids were left on their own and where some of them had to go through a horrific metamorphosis, and the humiliating torture scenes in Plato’s Stepchildren". The German tv channel ZDF probably had the same reservations in 1972, when they saw these episodes, so they sorted them out when they had to decide which 39 episodes they were to show in their first run.
A real ban, by the way, happened in Germany later on, when SAT1 was preparing to give the remaing episodes their first run: they banned "Patterns of Force", which apparently made them uncomfortable with its ridiculous and over-the-top portrayal of a planet run by a nazi leadership. A few years later, "Patterns" was released exclusively on VHS, before SAT1, finally, decided to cancel the ban and included it in its broadcast schedule.

It was broadcast on the BBC. They have their own criteria/agenda. But I shouldn’t grumble too much as it was shown commercial free. That was the one good thing about the Beeb. 6 o’clock Wednesday evenings, get in, sit down, switch on the tv and watch TOS commercial free. BBC2 used to be cool. Kind of missing it the way it used to be. No commercials, but it sucks. Have you noticed I have a love/hate relationship with Auntie? (Auntie being a silly nickname for the BBC).
Commercial free it was in Germany too, but only in 1972/74 on ZDF, but the downside were horrible cuts, to meet the 45 min. time slot (Saturday 6.15 a.m., right before the 7.00 a.m. news), meaning cuts of roughly 5 min.! The BBC also had their cuts. I know that because in the late 80ies, I was able to record the BBC edits on the British channel BFBS, which was located in my town when the British army still was stationed in Western Germany, but I was happy enough to get the shows at all. I managed to record all 75 episodes that way (minus the four banned episodes, of course!). I was in trek haven in those years! When I got my collection of the uncut U.S. VHS version, the missing scenes were true revelations to me, even if in most cases I knew those missing scenes through comparing the English version with the (also cut) German version, which in many cases had different cuts, plus adding the informations from the Blish novelizations. True detective work I did back then, and I had a blast doing it! I’m missing those days…
Patterns of Force had the classic line from Spock to Kirk "You make a very convincing Nazi." Kirk’s expression in response is priceless.
I’m not so sure the episodes were cut as such. You may well be correct in that some scenes were cut, however I don’t recall any. The shows actually run for approximately 50 mins in America using the NTSC broadcast system running at 30/60 frames per second. The method of encoding means that the 24 frames per second original film has duplicate fields/frames inserted into it to make it 30/60fps, but the duration remains the same. In Europe using the PAL broadcast system running at 25/50fps, the same 24fps film is simply broadcast at 25/50fps leading to a decrease in overall duration of 4%, meaning a 50 minute show ran for 48 minutes. It’s a simple formula actually, PAL will lose 4mins per every 100mins of regular 24fps film. That’s why actors sound different when you watch on the counterpart system – the pitch is altered with PAL broadcasts.
Also, I’m watching TOS and TNG on tv currently, and I’ve noticed that the fades and pauses in episodes have been cut and brutal cross-fades put in their place. I’ve also noticed cuts from TOS, probably to squeeze in the 15 minutes of commercials during the hour.
After being absent for, what, 2 or 3 weeks, you come back, read all this geeky trek stuff on this page, and all you are able to say is "Ohhhh myyyyy!"?
Well, if I had read this, I would have been speechless first. And then, as soon as I had composed myself, I would have said:"Hey, guys, this is just a tv show! Get a life!"

I’m guessing he was referring to the apparent abundance of nudity on television in Germany in the 70’s. 🙂
Yes, I do remember those programs in the 70ies, I was 10 in 1971, and when I got my first own tv set in 1976, I was able to watch whatever I wanted: Star Trek, Space:1999, and… well, yes, German Nudity, wherever I could find it. Hey, I had to educate myself, okay?
You know those shows were great. But there was lots of decent programming back then. Even The Prisoner, Dr. Who, UFO, Joe 90, Stingray, Captain Scarlett and the Mysterons, lest we forget the Mysterons.
The one thing that could’ve come sooner was the home VCR. The 80’s was the decade I was stacking tapes like I was running a library.
But ain’t the news a bag of laughs? Like Bill Hicks once said "I watch CNN 24 hours a day. I gotta cut that down. Like where is all this shit happening, man?" "Ted Turner doesn’t get laid, so he puts out that everyone will die of AIDS. ‘I don’t get laid, nobody gets laid.’" "I’m writing Jane Fonda, ‘Will you fuck this guy so we can get some good news?’"
RIKER: "Great story… I’ll have to remember that the next time I’m in a knife fight!"

I watched THE Halloween episode of TOS, you know the one, and it was the re-mastered version. I like the new castle effect.
The difference was, in the case of TOS, they re-did the special effects from scratch (while simultaniously honoring the visual esthetics and style of the special effects people from the TOS series, only this time, making them in digital high-res instead of analogue photographic effects, and even adding several effects or parts of them, for example by making new background matte "paintings" bigger than before, adding digital moving people or, for example, moving trains into the background, or sometimes even creating completely new visual effects as in the case of "Amok Time" with the panoramic view of the entrance scene to the combat arena, or adding new ships where none were seen before), whereas in the case of TNG, they mostly took the pre-existing raw material of the visual effects and enhanced them digitally to make them HD ready, like they did with the cleaned and remastered life action scenes. Originally, when broadcast in the 80ies, the original video effects were transferred just to simple video, and that’s the reason why those, along with the life action material, always looked so awfully washed-out all those years.
For TOS, the new digital effects produced many spectacular views, without looking too modern, thus making them look as "sixties" as possible, and mostly, I like them a lot. They also kept the tranquil movements of the ships as known from the original, which was a wise choice. A Star Wars approch would have destroyed the classic trek style, in my opinion.
The Star Wars approach would’ve been something to behold! Funny looking creatures moving across the screen which were never there before. Added spacecraft traffic outside the windows. Some funky aliens doing a song and dance. Erm, forget that. Bad idea. 🙂

Have to agree with the Enterprise digitalization being lacking something, it’s somehow too clean and missing some "personality", for lack of a better word. If I recall correctly, the digital effects team had a very tight schedule and had to experiment a little bit at the beginning (they didn’t go by the original production numbers, always switching between all 3 seasons, back and forth), that’s the reason the quality of the digital effects is always changing, if you watch the show by production number (Cage, Where No Man, Corbomite Maneuver, and so on…).
With the Star Wars approach, I was merely thinking about the movements of the ships, which wouldn’t have worked for classic trek. The majestic musical cues alone would have excluded Star Wars esthetics for those flyby scenes, they wouldn’t have been compatible for that.

Ok, I got ya. I know what you mean.
Well, that was done in remastered trek: in "Menagerie, Part One", there are people in the background and in the windows in the first exterior Starbase shot where Kirk and his men are meeting with Miss Piper, which weren’t there before (digitally added people!), and in "Trouble with Tribbles", you can see the Enterprise and the Klingon ship from Captain Koloth in the windows from Mr. Lurry’s office!

I remember watching BTTF2 and seeing great numbers of Discs in various sizes in rubbish bins. That part of the vision of the future never really came about. Today there’s a great deal of material to download, but there is no mad rush to trash DVDs and CDs. In fact they form collections. There’s even been a vinyl revival. Who’d have thunk?
Models!

BTTF2, when the future is skewed (thanks to Biff) kicked off with Sammy Hagar’s "I can’t drive 55". That was a good use of that song – it fit well with the scene.

If you build it, I will come.
Indeed you are a sharp dressed squire. Pray tell, how do you fend off those wenches of the unwanted variety? With the augmented 4th perhaps?
I make them freeze, of course, with a snap of the fingers. Piece of cake. Then I’m sitting down at my harpsichord and start playing something devilish, including the tritonus, adding the "dies irae" motive for good measure! One more snap of the fingers to un-freeze them, and they’re gone! 🙂
You’re also stylish in your methodology, Squire. No doubt the local constabulary is handsomely renumerated to shall we say ‘look the other way’.
All things considered you should have your own TV show. "Squire!". It’s basically you handling the trash of the galaxy in original and humourous ways. The episode where you reluctantly (who am I kidding) humiliate Billy Ray Cyrus with what it is to be a real musician before expunging his sorry ass, will have 2.5 billion inhabitants of Earth tuning in. Another episode plot could have you teaming up with Liberace to take down ‘boy bands’ across the globe. Another high ratings winner. 🙂
I watched the Cameo "Word Up" music video earlier. I know, I know. If I’m not mistaken there’s a young looking LeVar Burton in the video.
It’s a shame the line from TNG after Capt. Picard orders Geordi to go to Warp 8, Geordi replies "Word up everybody say, When you hear the call you’ve got to get it underway" was removed. Just kidding on that. But he was in the video, seriously. If I’m not mistaken that is.
For Halloween, I have been ripping soundtracks from LP records, like HORROR EXPRESS, EDGAR ALLAN POE MOVIES, THE DUNWICH HORROR, and still more to do.
Also, Rocketship X-M. Why buy the CD or download it, if I have the LP?
CDs are great, but a lot the old stuff will never be re-released on CD. That’s why tend to hang on to everything. On the odd occasion when an LP of mine was a bad pressing, or was damaged by yours truly (doh!), I went in search of the CD.
Last night I watched Horror Express. I read that it was based on "Who Goes There?", the same story that all three THING movies were based on. If you have not seen it, find it, it is real good.
On Horror Express, I’ll keep it in mind. Cheers for the recommend.
I bought the 1st season of Mission Impossible today. I haven’t seen the series since the 60’s, and next year will be it’s 50th Anniversary.
Looks like there’s a Lee & Cushing flick at the weekend. The Gorgon. Might tune in for that. It also features Patrick Troughton.

I am watching the animated series of RETURN TO THE PLANET OF THE APES, which turned 40 in September.
When it comes to the original designed apes, I like them best. I have all 5 movies, 2 special feature discs, the live series, and the animated series. I also have the Tim Burton movie, which I like, except for Marky Mark. I do not have an interest in the reboot movies.
Usually the first in a series is the best, except for ST and SW. Khan and Empire are my favorites.
On a William Shatner note, I saw him in an adaptation of Little Women. Just keeps on surprising me that guy.
…
Just thinking about the opening scenes in the animated Apes. Dead people were on display. If I recall something from a making-of documentary the filmmakers opted to make a change to the story and drop this imagery from the movie. They instead put animal skins on display to mark out the forbidden zone. I have to say, in this instance it probably was a wise move. If Heston and his space chums caught wind of the fact that people were already on the planet it would have lessened the effect later on, and would have put them on their guard – it would’ve been a different movie. The first time I saw the film it had one of the most mind blowing endings ever. "You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn you all to hell!" Which is exactly how I would feel. 🙂
On the comment about Heston’s scream at the end of the film, today a fitting way to say it is, "Typical." Not as dramatic but fitting in todays World.

I always like Finney. That’ll probably be on tv here as well around Christmas Day, along with a few other big budget Christmas films. At the moment we’ve got dozens of re-runs of all sorts of made for tv Christmas movies, some of which aren’t bad. I always like to see A Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart, Scrooged with Bill Murray, and A Muppet Christmas Carol with that muppet Michael Caine.

That’s jolly decent for a gas station store. The big stores don’t even do that (that I know of). Great policy!

That’s a good one. Worf’s explanation of why the 60’s Klingons look different was something like "Don’t ask." !
I’ll definitely pay attention to Finney’s film and see if that scene is cut. To be honest I think the censor’s gone bye-bye in the UK. The amount of explicit and gratuitous gory bloody violence on tv is staggering.

Star Wars gets its premiere tonight. I don’t know anybody who’s going to go to see it. Can’t wait to read the reviews over the next few days. I’ve already heard someone from the film say "It doesn’t matter if the critics don’t like it, as long as the fans do." Oh dear, that sounds like a disclaimer to me.
The Eagle is not fake, the people are…..Note to self, lay off the model building for awhile, the glue is getting to me again…..grab that Tribble, and have it spit out the cat.
I really don’t have plans to see Star Wars. I just can’t stand lenses flairs and too fast to see action…..maybe I’m thinking of Star Trek, well they both have same Director and Star in it’s name.

@max stein, A DS-9 movie, now that’s not a bad idea. Hey Paramount, are you listening? We’ve got ideas on this thread!!!
I said I didn’t know anyone who’s going to see the new Star Wars movie, but of course that excluded people on this forum. However, I class you as a real person and accept the fact you’ll go to see it, and therefore retract my earlier statement. I hope you find it entertaining. If you don’t, I want to know what’s wrong with it! My guess is that the elements and actors from the original trilogy will probably give the film a lift it needs.
I have to chose? NOOoooo……

I watched ST II ten times in the theater, the most I have ever seen one that many times. I have watched every Star Wars movie in the theater since 1977, and all of the Star Trek movies until the 2009 one. I’m on the fence about the new one. But, no more Star Trek for me in the theater.
That guy saw Star Wars 24 times?! I guess I know what he wants to be stranded with on a desert island! I agree, someone needs to get the ball rolling on a new Trek using the available assets. What a monumental waste we’re witnessing at present.

I admit watching Star Wars a number of times at the local theatre. I used to go to the cinema when they repeated sci-fi movies like Star Wars, Star Trek, T1 / T2, 2001 A Space Odyssey (incidentally I watched that on BBC3HD in the early hours – it’s still got it).
About the gooseneck, I’ll stick it in the crate, and you can test drive the captains chair with it and without it. 🙂
Better forget the chair, no room for it. Dang it, I was hoping to be a Captain. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/spocksmiley.gif

You still have the option to create a custom phaser type I and enlist as a red shirt… start with re-playing "Obsession" or, alternatively, "The Apple"….. MUHAAAAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!

I’ve not talked to anyone yet, or received any emails telling me they’ve seen it. Even though it’s a JJ movie, I’m surprised by the general lack of interest by the people I associate with.
So I suppose the full scale Eagle is out of the question? Phew! What a relief. I don’t think it would fit in a shipping container! Someone would have to fly it over, and I don’t know any qualified Eagle pilots. Hold on, just found on Craigslist about a hundred of the buggers charging reasonable rates.

This Christmas, give the gift of a red shirt to someone who’s been a pain in the u-no-wot!
Well, fellow Red Shirts…..http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/redshirt.gif
We can’t kill them all, they do serve a function, besides being comic relief.
Speaking of the Eagle, Round 2 models is coming out with a 1/48 22 inch model with an optional kit of aluminum rocket motors. Very detailed and nice looking.
One very, very minor thing about seeing the movie for me, is that 20th Century Fox logo and theme will be missing. Oh, well.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Guys
Squire Trelane, retired.
Well, I got for Christmas a punch out, glue together paper model of the 1701 with lights and it plays the theme to Star Trek. A book and CD-ROM "On Board the 1701D", and three Doctor Who Christmas ornaments, red Dalek, K-9, and the TARDIS. I also, got a lot of DVDs, like Adam-12, and Bat Masterson.
Please, never grow up. Too many GROWN UPS are messing up the world, we need enough of us kids at heart to keep then in their place.
Battle Beyond the Stars. The movie James Horner took the soundtrack from and shoehorned it into Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan and later into Krull.
Don’t forget Wolfen. I like most of his music, mainly his main themes, except the reused tracks, then I cringe when I hear them.

I finished watching Bat Masterson, which I don’t remember seeing, and Adam-12, and I enjoyed both.
theone2000- your right about the music, it was perfect for those movies.Those movie I bought when they came out, at the time I didn’t like Battle beyond the stars except for the music which I picked up back then. The Blue ray up grade changed that-it looks much better now.
Did you know Dirty Harry was a role he turned down. Doh! But then again, we wouldn’t have Clint Eastwood as Harry Callaghan. So it worked out for the audiences. Wayne later on went on to make McQ in an attempt to make a contemporary edgy cop flick in a similar style to Dirty Harry, but wasn’t nearly as successful.

I saw Wayne’s McQ recently, not that bad, and I believe if Wayne had been ten years younger, or the cancer hadn’t slowed him down in the mid-seventies, a movie series of more "McQ’s" would have been possible. But Wayne was too much type-cast to the real western genre, and he left the Hollywood stage in style with his final movies (including the grandious "The Shootist").
Another landmark from Star Trek, El Capitan as seen in Star Trek V. That’s something that would also be on my itinerary.
http://trekcore.com/blog/2016/01/mondo-star-trek-wrath-of-khan-vinyl-soundtrack/
Mondo is putting out Batman the Animated Series soundtracks, also. I do like the bat shaped LP for the theme.
I know from listening to LPs and CDs that LPs are better for the best quality of music. I have the LP of Ladyhawk, and a small piece of a track I love to hear, then I got the CD. I found it, it was so low, I kept missing it.
I just watched two Roger Corman movies I have never seen, ATTACK OF THE CRAB MONSTERS and WAR OF THE SATELLITES. I like them, not as cheesy as I though they would be.
Ah, Close Encounters. I always thought that location was contrived for the movie, I didn’t realise it might be a real location.

You can’t go wrong with a Roger Corman movie. My fave has to be Death Race 2000! 🙂
Good catch, theone. Have made the gender switch back to normal. You should have quoted my post. Without it, your post doesn’t make sense now! LOL
I bought today a real classic Sci-Fi, The Giant Claw. The turkey/buzzard monster sucked in design, but the movie was real good otherwise.
Another DVD I bought is the complete series of Starcom-The U.S. Space Force. I had a few episodes on DVD and VHS, but have never see the complete series. For a series made to sell toys, it is real good.
The Giant Claw stars Jeff Morrow, who played the alien Exeter in the movie, This Island Earth.
I have been watching Batman the Animated Series, again. My favorite episode is Beware the Gray Ghost. It was so cool to hear Adam West doing the voice of the Gray Ghost. I may not be a fan of 1966’s Batman anymore, but, Adam West was still real good in the series, in spite of the campiness.
Watched a fairly amusing DS9 episode tonight. It was the Roswell weather-balloon incident in 1947 after Quark, Rom and Nog (and Odo) end up going back in time and crash-landing. Charles Napier makes an appearance as a general, quite a difference to the hippie from TOS. "Hey that’s now!"
Didn’t get that episode an Emmy for Best Special Effects in 1967?
Whaaaa?! Must have been a slow year. 🙂
Watching another Vinny Price film on right now. The House on Haunted Hill. He’s invited a bunch of guests and whoever survives the night wins $10,000! I hope the winner doesn’t spend it all at once. 🙂 Sounds a little like a Dr. Evil moment.
"Operation – Annihilate", a very good episode, for 60’s FX.:) We did learn another Spock/Vulcan adaption.
A Vincent Price movie I haven’t seen in decades, and I know it will be good. I really could use the $$$!
Tonight’s TOS episode was Amok Time. Here we learn male Vulcans get randy every seven years. I suppose the plus side to it is it saves on condoms.
Is it really Winter? I wonder. I just killed a mosquito today in my truck.

Where I am it’s winter one day, spring the next. The weather can’t make its mind up.
If interested, check out this link for photos of the restoration of the original 11 foot model of the TOS 1701 at the Smithsonian. Click next to see more.

Cool. I like the way the model builders didn’t give a hoot about what the inside of the hull looked like. It’s looks like something I made in class. 🙂
What I don’t understand is the colour of the TOS Enterprise. On the tv the Enterprise is white. How can this be when the model is grey? A couple of years ago Eaglemoss brought out the TOS Enterprise in battleship grey, but looks nothing like in the series or on the preview picture where it’s white not grey.

I believe this article will answer your questions once and for all:

Also, remember that the lights used to light the 11 foot model and the FX shots changed the color.
Original tv frame
Eaglemoss preview/advertisement image
Actual Eaglemoss model (a lot darker than as advertised)
The Smithsonian from another angle (looks lighter than in other photo, but also has much darker seams on saucer section)
I have seen various colored 1701 offered over the decades from white to blue gray. Some have said to paint it to match the color seen on TV, like blue white, or dark gray. I have always liked a light gray color before I heard of light ghost gray, and I believe it was the late Thomas Sasser that came up with that color.
I’ll leave it to the pros. I don’t want to stir up so much controversy over the colour so as to start a special thread on the subject. Incidentally, I watched The Motion Picture not long ago, and that’s not grey either, but I’m not going there… 🙂
http://www.startrek.com/article/guest-blog-smithsonian-update-on-enterprise-studio-model-restoration
The various color changes of the 11 foot model during the different pilot production phases are fully explained in this article.
The 1701 refit is white with pearl colored Aztec pattern. If I ever paint my 36 inch 1/350 scale refit, it will be gray like TOS 1701, more of a what if it followed TOS look, with rotating nacelle lights. I hate the color of the refit.
But hold on, you’ve got a 36 incher? Is it so big you have to carry it around in a sling? Actually, I’m impressed. I don’t know anyone who’s got one as big as that. 🙂
Tonight’s TOS episode was The Changeling. It never ceases to amaze me how much TMP borrowed from this episode. The term "Biological Infestations" was changed to "Carbon Units", but I reckon the former sounds more ominous. And of course Nomad became V’ger, but Nomad was a small espresso machine compared to the leviathan V’ger became, and in contrast Nomad maneuvered around the interior of the Enterprise whilst in TMP the Enterprise maneuvered around V’ger.
Sorry guys. I’ve got another query. Tonight’s episode of TOS remastered was Mirror, Mirror. Something I haven’t noticed before were spikes on the front of the nacelles, in the evil universe. Is this something that was done for the remaster or was it also on the original release? What’s more a Polar Lights model has the spindles…

The original also featured the second pilot’s E as stand-in for the mirror-E, probably out of budgetary reasons, and to give the mirror E a slightly different look, without the need to create a new model, or to change the look of the main model for this episode. The remastered episode was discussed in 2006, when it was first broadcast:
http://trekmovie.com/2006/11/13/mirror-mirror-screenshots-and-video/
One comment (#47) even referred to the polar lighs model you mentioned.
Original episode mirror-E:
Remastered episode mirror-E:
and
Note the metallic color they added to the I.S.S.-E, to distinguish it even more from the U.S.S. E.
The Polar Light 1/1000 TOS 1701 model was done to allow modelers to build it anyway seen on TV.
One comment (#47) even referred to the polar lighs model you mentioned.
…
Cheers. Apart from the obvious differences in interior decor, it looks like there are other subtle external differences between the USS and ISS. ISS – does this mean our ISS International Space Station is evil? And we’re in the evil universe?
Interesting you should use the number 47. You obviously have a Trek brain. However, the comment was #48!
For the TOS, they reused whatever FX shots the could to save money.

Check again, it was #47:
47.*Crazy Guy – July 1, 2008
I have the new Polar Lights USS Enterprise kit that lets you choose between the two pilot E’s, the Series E, and the Mirror E. When I looked at these screenshots (I never caught the episode on TV, and the DVD is too expensive for me), the first thing I noticed was that the ISS Enterprise here lacks the Terran Empire’s insignia on the exterior, while the model had it.
Why the heck did they refuse to carry that over!? It woulda been awesome – especially since ISS Enterprise NX-01 had external insignia!
And yes, I’m well aware of the ominous #47 and the trek connections (which started deliberately with STNG season 4, when Joe Menosky started to use that number intentionally in his scripts). When I saw it was comment 47, that was my first thought, too, and I made a bet you or someone else would mention it. I won! 🙂
It’s strange however that you saw a 48. Maybe you had a connection to the mirror universe internet, were slight differences to our universe are common?

My lawyer says comment #47 does indeed refer to the Polar Lights model, but it doesn’t go in to the spindles which was the main thrust of my puzzlement. Those darn spindles are mentioned in comment #48. 🙂
Apparently, that all numbers are equal to 47 was a joke at the college attended by Menosky. TNG season 4 definitely showed a significant increase in the use of 47. http://www.schlock.net/tng47s.html
47 was cropping up in TOS also. http://www.schlock.net/tos47s.html
I suppose you may be right and my beard only goes to strengthen your suspicion that I am in fact evil.

My lawyer is who else but Mr. Cogley. 🙂
Squire, you are just spoiled rotten, not bad….except to Kirk.
Mr. Cogley, the only good Lawyer I know!
Speaking of the Polar Light TOS 1701, I have yet to build one….pathetic I know.
No, it’s owned by a private collector. The original six-foot diameter studio model of Deep Space 9 (Lot #493) was sold at the 40 Years of Star Trek: The Collection auction on October 6, 2006 for US$132,000, including the buyer’s premium (the winning bid was US$110,000).
Here, try this shirt on, no hard feelings….http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v218/lloyd2/redshirt.gif
I saw at Wally World for $50, all three seasons of TOS. When the first sets came out $100 each. If I knew then….
I finally watched Alfred Hitchcock’s North by Northwest. That is a good movie, great cast, and music. I was upset that the DVD case said music only track, and it ain’t on the disc!
But he also could be tremendously funny, sometimes even crazy, and also had his dark sides during the Dominion War, for sure… in short, he was human.
If you still feel lonely, I could beam over a Space Station size load of Tribbles.

Tribbles are okay, too – but just for decoration, and for keeping away the Klingons! 🙂

Yeah, I remember him being quite polite and very talkative and fun. He along Scotty, who has been quite absent from here as well were the soul and heart of the defunct Star Trek Official Post V2, or whatever its name was…

Hmm? alrighty then.
I had completely forgotten about that parody! Starlog Magazine printed the script to that, years and years ago–I read it before I actually saw it.
We hadn’t heard from him since January 2015, I believe. He spoke very bluntly about his declining health to me and probably others, too, and that might be a reason he didn’t report back last year. But this is all speculation. Either his physical condition doesn’t allow him any more to communicate via internet, or, in the worst case scenario, he passed away. Let’s hope that isn’t the case, but we can’t exclude anything right now, without facts. I seem to recall that AZSneed had personal email contact to him, but last time I asked him, he hadn’t heard from him. Maybe he knows more in the meantime?

Hold on here laddy!! I found the control panel I needed and………..(Everyone can now hear the low rumble of the warp reactor coming on line (just gave myself gooses bumbes writing that..he he he) now lets kick the tires and light the fires.

I was able to put the Enterprise in a low orbit around the sun using the thrusters but it won’t last for long and it’s getting hot. We really need you scotty57.
Laddy I have moved the old girl into a stable orbit around the third planet and power is returning to normal levels, I’ll have Impulse drive back on line in a few hours! warp drive well take a little longer, got to rob errrr barrow some parts from the shuttles and then we can take the big E back to Star Base I for further reprises, if Star Fleet Command refuses then well do what we did in STIII 🙂
Scott
Indeed it is Laddie! I got the old girl back on line and she is in a stable orbit around a class M planet and got a list as long as me arm of repair’s to do and the Captain wants to get back to earth like yesterday! Always in a rush, he is, but what do ye do? say Yes Sir and carry on 🙂
Glad to see you back AZ nice to have good friends walking the condors of the Big E again! Shucks, Laddie it was no Tribble at all, hope they enjoyed them as much as we did lol I did hear the Klingons had…what was it called? Oh yeah "The Great Tribble Hunt" and they had for first time in a hundred years a real war 🙂

Big year for old sci-fi turning 50. I watched 2001 on the anniversary date, and this fall Land of the Giants and Filmation’s Fantastic Voyage.
Scott, did you get or buy the La La Land release of Star Trek the Animated series soundtrack? I had to buy it, and then I edited the tracks to recreate the Tribble episode into a suite.
I still have dial-up, so I can not upload the suite, mores the pity.

No, I had no idea it had come out! The last I heard (and that was 5 years ago) no one could find the master tapes from the animated show, someone (and I don’t remember who it was) talked to the Producers children and none know what had happened to the tapes and with filmation sold, several times it seems, I thought it was lost forever! Good to be wrong 🙂 Guess CBS found them or used the PAL version of the show.
Sure send it along! I would love to have it, take your time AZ! I’m not going anywhere. Yeah all of my pics are gone to 🙁 I do still have all the pics of the different models from Star Trek (if you need them let me know and I’ll send them to you?). I’d loved to hear your edit! sucks is right.
We are getting old my friend! 50 years!!! Damn…Yeah I need to get all Star Trek in Blu-Ray now that I have a Blu-Ray player and nice size TV screen (43′) (thanks to my kids…saves my eyesight he he he) [at lest that’s what I tell my kids…and I’m sticking to that story] I have a select number of movies I watch at certain times of the year! like Christmas it’s "Christmas Vacation" and "Scrooged" Those old show’s are still great, I still watch "Lost In Space", "Land Of The Giants" hell even "Time Tunnel" Have you seen the New "Lost In Space"? Man that show is great and we are getting a season 2!! it’s on Netflix can’t wait for season 2 🙂

My oldest DVD (no Blu-Ray for me) is the Lost in Space Movie I bought in October 1998, the same day I bought my first DVD player, and the DVD still works. Pretty good for almost 20 years.
I really don’t care for Time Tunnel, it could have been better. If you noticed the Irwin Allen series, Voyage lasted 4 seasons, Lost 3 seasons, Giants 2 seasons and Tunnel 1 season. Odd countdown.

Ain’t that the truth! I’m sure it will be released on DVD! they always do 🙂 Yeah I have the same movie on DVD, WOW! that’s one hell of a DVD player to last that long! I’ve gone through 3 in the last 6 years…you’ve got to tell which model your using 🙂 One thing I do love about Blu-Ray, it plays DVD great and with either a cat5 (depending on which one you buy) or one that is wireless you get all the apps on the Blu-Ray player, so you can watch Netflix, Hulu, even Youtub which is great if you don’t have a smart TV.
Time Tunnel definitely could have been much better! it makes me laugh like hell when I see the silver painted aliens! The only actor on the show that I watch it for was Lee Meriwether (Catwomen Wooohooo) now that women had everything in the right places 🙂 the same with "I Dream Of Jeannie" Barbara Eden WOW! what ever teenage boy needed in a TV show LOL still at 86 she looks great! So does Lee Meiriwether at 82!

There is a TV channel called "Comet" they show all kinds of old sci-Fi movies and TV shows, almost what Sci-Fi channel used to be, on the weekends (at lest this month) there showing the old ToHo monster movies, and some others from different studio’s. We have Comcast at home and they have it listed, hopefully you might have the same channel in your area. I love the old films as well! much better then the crap from the 80’s and 90’s, that’s why I fell in love with Comet and watch it almost all day.

I like older stuff mainly. Take Planet of the Apes, I only like the ones with mask/makeup, no CGI for me. Model based FX, even with strings showing look better than CGI, too me.

That sucks my friend! I was using over the air for a couple years (of course the city I live in has over 500,000 people,so I had access to 80 channels, but most of them were Mexican speaking to repeated channel’s, but at lest I could watch MeTV which on Friday nights showed Batman, wonder women, the old BSG and Star Trek) because AT&T and Comcast wanted so damn much, even basic was to high. I have 4 bookcases full of DVD and Blu-Ray’s and have had to replace several DVD’s because of ware 🙂 and the price has gone way up for some of the replacement’s (being out of print), thank God we have a Rasputin store here in town and the prices aren’t to bad, but even they have limited space and your forced to buy at Amazon or some other outrageous priced place.
I fell in love with the original "Planet Of The Apes" movies and watched them all at the theater when they came out 🙂 The newer ones were okay the CGI work was great, now the story was not so well done and left a lot to be desired…so Yes I’m like you, give me the Original’s any day…."Take Your Stinking Paws Off Me You Damn Dirty Ape!" 🙂

Also, I downloaded the main theme of the Netflix series Lost in Space from youtube. I noticed a hint of the original series theme music in the main theme. I’m not impressed with the J2, it reminds me of a smooth Falcon from SW.

Yeah I’ve seen it on Comet, here they show it late at night (2am) a little past my bedtime 🙂 I had no idea they where used on Outer Limits! The way Hollywood is today they will reuse any thing! and clam it was a original idea, so give me my Oscar. I can’t tell you how many times my oldest son and I go to the movies and after the movie I tell him what a bad remake this movie is and how the original was much better! most of the time he is shocked to hear the movie is a remake from the 1940’s or 50’s LOOOOL
It sure does, I have the soundtrack for the show if you want it let me know and I’ll send it.

I watched The Day the Earth Stood Still remake, garbage. Land of the Lost, hated the trailer. Wild, Wild, West, stupid looking. In others words, not worth the money to make, most remakes. Now one that I like, is The Bat starring Vincent Price, way better than the original silent movie, must see murder mystery.
I am a Harry Potter fan, and I bought some of the special edition DVDs to get the making of the movies. I like behind the scenes videos. So, now I am watching them.

I am a Harry Potter fan, and I bought some of the special edition DVDs to get the making of the movies. I like behind the scenes videos. So, now I am watching them.
Your welcome my friend 🙂
I got those Godzilla soundtracks several years ago (if you want them let me know?) Comet is showing the old Godzilla movies this summer on weekends (Saturday)…love watching them.
I have the same opinion of all those movies (well I could say a lot worse, but I’d end up Banned for saying what I really feel LOL)
I liked the Harry Potter films and yeah I love the behind the scenes stuff too, I have the Extended Lord of the Rings Editions on DVD (about wore them out) and Blu-Ray now 🙂
I’ve seen the The Bat! Comet showed it last month, what a great movie!…love Vincent Price, Peter Lorre, Humphrey Bogart, Boris Karloff, James Mason, Edward G. Robinson, James Cagney(that man could sing, dance, act and was funny as hell…if you ever get the chance, rent, download [it goes for $70.00 dollars on Amazon, out of print], beg, barrow or steal) see his movie 1,2,3 I’m not kidding I was almost on the floor laughing my head off!!, Yul Brynner, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing and that’s not even counting the female actress! I don’t know if you have seen "The Thin Man Series"? but they are a must see, there are 6 movies in all, staring William Powell, Myrna Loy and a ton of great actors…my mom had me watch them with her, good Lord! I loved every last one, comedy/murder mystery! man what a set of films…good thing Hollywood has not yet tried to do remakes! no one could play them like the original actors, and with today’s comedy (vulgar language…is not funny…for those reading this, watch the original Dean Martin Roasts, now that is what real Comedy is! Clean and funny…do a search on YouTube) there was so many really great actors! a great lose now that they are all gone.

Hi Scotty57 and AZSneed have you seen the new Star Trek series Discovery? It sure was different, not what I expected but I enjoyed all the twist and turns. It was pretty much one long episode.
Hi max! Good to see you old friend 🙂
All that I’ve seen is what has been posted on YouTube (which is not much) I’m looking forward to it when CBS releases it on DVD or Blu-Ray, the same with the new "Lost In Space" show on Netflix. I’m an originates when it comes to Star Trek, but what I have seen looks different and worth watching! I know it takes place in the Kelvin Timeline (JJ Enterprise) and with your endorsement and seeing what they did with the Enterprise (under Captain Pike) [I did see a small clip of the first season final] it looks very interesting.
Scott
Hi max! No, I have not seen the new series, and if it does take place in the JJ Abram Universe, then no thanks, I did not like his movies, not Star Trek. If they had made a series of a future Enterprise, THEN I would be interested. As TOS started…THESE ARE THE VOYAGES OF THE STARSHIP ENTERPRISE….I excepted and welcomed STNG, but, ENTERPRISE I was against because it was too modern to be a prequel to TOS. Later I saw the series on DVD, and it was a real good series, for Sci-Fi.
If anyone is looking for DVDs of real classic Sci-Fi TV, then I recommend Mill Creek Entertainment’s 150 episode, CLASSIC SCI-FI TV box set. Some real surprises in that set. (not a paid endorser, and I would like to be)
If I do see Discovery, it will be with a mind set it is just Sci-Fi, then I might like it.
With Harry Potter, I saw the movies first, then read the novels, so much better that way for me.
Back in 1982, I read the novel and comic of The Dark Crystal before I saw the movie, and was kind of bored, because I knew the story ahead of time. Never read the book again, and now enjoy the movie better.
This might be weird, I read Dune by Frank Herbert, then saw the movie in the theater, and liked the movie better.
If Disney does anything that I would like with SW, it is to release the Droids and Ewok cartoon series.
I’m still reading all the other Dune books! all by Frank Herbert son Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. They have done there best to preserve Frank Herbert original story’s, style and note’s that his father left. I’ve read 4 of them so far and they are very good, some of them fill in the back story (10,000) years before Dune takes place. The other’s take place far in the future and tie everything up with a great finish.
I Read LOTR’s when I was in high school (42 years ago…damn I’m old) I know before the movie came out that changes were going to be made! there is no way they could film all three books…hell each movie would be 6 to 7 hours long! Major potable catheter LOL
I too saw all 6 Star Wars films at the theater when they first came out, even after all these years that opening scene in Star Wars still blows me away! I still have the first printing of Star Wars book (it came out several months before the first movie) the front cover has Ralph McQuarrie concept art work on it.
It’s hard for me to say which one is best, the original 3 then Attack of the clones, then Revenge of the Seth…GO Vader GO!! (my Hero)
Lucas never did when he owned Star Wars, Disney will never release those cartoons either! sorry to say…the only way you can see them is to download them from youtube. AZ if you want them my youngest son has them I could burn them on DVD and mail them to you? it’s up to you.
Now that Solo a Star Wars movie has died at the box office I wonder what Disney is going to do? continue to put out more SW story movies and burn us out? or stop and just do main SW movies? after hearing all the story movies Disney wants to do I’m about ready to puke! Now with all the main characters dead (in the movie) or dead in real life, all we have is the new characters and there is not much there to work with! and ideas guys?
Scott
The Hobbit and LOTR, I have the books, DVDs, and the radio series on CD. Back in the 80’s I enjoyed every week listening to NPR Playhouse broadcasting the Radio series, nothing like using your imagination. Also, SW on radio.
Vader fan? I bet you use this line, "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies." I still have the Darth Vader helmet I bought in the early 80’s at TG & Y.
I will wait for the DVDs of Droids and Ewoks, thanks for the offer. I read that 20th Century Fox has the rights to DVDs and when it expires, I expect Disney will release them. I have the movies of the edited episodes and the episodes on VHS.
Ever since Disney bought Lucas, they have over saturated SW, that I am sick of seeing SW EVERYWHERE! I expect anytime now, unless I missed it, lightsabre blade colored condoms.
As for character movies, not a bad idea, if they had put then out s-l-o-w-l-y as you say, too much of a good thing is really not as good as intended. Greed is stronger than the Force.

The Lightsaber blade colored condoms are already out AZ! next they well make them light up on voice command or motion LOL
I know Fox distributed them in 2004 but as in who owns the rights it is Disney (now) and I found a on-line petition (to release them on DVD and Blu-Ray) but the last entry was 3 years ago, so nothing is going to happen. Another cartoon never to see the light of day again. I’m sure after all these years Fox no longer has the rights to distribute them, they are still listed on Amazon (the Droids is going for $11.00 dollars-used New goes for $79.99) Star Wars Animated Adventures: Ewoks $11.90 used, New $36.99 of course not all the episodes are on these dices. So in short we are screwed.
I have my Darth Vader Mask from Don Post Studios, still in the box! Bought mine at Mervin’s for $25.00 Dollars of course that was in 1978. Yes we do have cookies! and milk :p you can have your choice of white milk or blue milk 🙂
Personally I think it’s to late for SW! Disney needs more money (the next movie title will be "The Search For More Money") and they don’t see the cash cow is drying up, until they put out the next major SW movie and the box office take is way down, then they will start looking at what went wrong, but I’m sure they will blame someone else.
The last Conan movie was not bad but not good either of course it was better then 2! Hollywood is such a dumb ass business, it’s a wonder they make anything now a days that makes money (people are stupid), same old story’s (or reboots of older movies), actors that can’t act, everyone of them with the I.Q. of a rock (I Apologize to all the rocks out there) and they all think they are smarter then anyone else, and to top it off, they think they are Royalty! give me a break. Sorry for the rant!
Scott
One thing about the Conan movies and live series that I don’t like, is that they say Conan’s family and village were killed off, not so. Conan left to explore the world, and went home more than one in the novels, and the cartoon series was more like the novels.
I have the Droids and Ewoks Fox DVDs, as well as the two live Ewok TV movies. In fact, I don’t own nor have I seen any of the Disney SW. The best SW ever made, and never released on video in US, is the Holiday Special. LOL!
Not surprised about the condoms, is anything out there that has NOT been Star War-ed?
I am watching the 1st Gamera US version movie. The American inserted scenes really suck. I might just rip the DVD and edit out the sucky parts. I like Gamera, especially the newer versions.

I thought you could buy the original films with out the American inserted scenes? Maybe I’m thinking of some other films? or maybe it’s the Blu-Ray version?
I read on-line yesterday that Disney is now blaming the Publicity Department for the dismal box office take of Solo! Not Franchise Fatigue!! As I said below, anything other then Franchise Fatigue, so Disney is going to milk SW for all it’s worth and in the end it well be a dried up husk and we get left with nothing.
Holiday Special! LOOOL I saw an interview with George Lucas where he stated "He wished he had never made it and will never release it..ever" But now that Disney owns SW…who knows!
Scott
I’m not surprised that Disney blamed Publicity Department for the SNAFU. I did not watch the first Disney SW, because of the trailer, it looked like a remake, and why watch a remake, when we have the original. But, I do prefer Lucas’s Special Edition versions of the original trilogy, I liked the added scenes, except getting rid of the band in Jabba’s Palace.
I remember Lucas say that about the Holiday Special. For me, it was nice to see more of the Wookies, and the introduction of Boba Fett. Now, Carrie Fisher’s song, she didn’t take after her parents when it came to singing.
I don’t know if you have seen the 50’s TV series of Flash Gordon, I like it, so I was looking for some music from the series, and found some. On the CD release of The Blob, there is a section of music from THE VALENTINO PRODUCTION MUSIC LIBRARY, and a lot of the music from Roger Roger is featured in the episodes he composed for. The Series was filmed in Germany, and they used a German composer for those episodes, and then filmed in France, and they got Roger Roger to compose for those episodes.
I had thoughts about buying Rogue 1 DVD, since it is a spinoff, so when I do is….
Another of the 3 people to see Solo is revealed.LOL!
The next movie to see is….the envelope please….JURASSIC WORLD:FALLEN KINGDOM! What is there not to like, dinosaurs, erupting volcano, dinosaurs, Jeff Goldblum, dinosaurs, and those other guys.
Hi Max!
I agree with your commitments! other then Solo, as soon as I heard Disney was doing a Solo movie I already know the plot! and I was right, just a hist in SW space. I really love Rogue 1!! great movie, hell great everything and yes It’s about time Vader is shown kicking butt the way I have always wanted him too! (here’s a cookie my Lord Vader 🙂 ) as I figure Vader is only in his 40’s in Rogue 1 so he is young enough to do some serious butt kicking!
I was never pleased with the change of Solo firing second! never agreed (as if Lucas called and asked me what I thought) with what he did. One of the things I need to do is upgrade all my SW (the first 6 movies…the others are all Blu-Ray) to Blu-Ray! the only thing holding me back is the freaking price!! I’m not paying the mouse $80.00 for 42 year old movies! and with not much added then what’s already on the DVD’s.

How many versions of the SW movies DO we need to buy? I hate when they add some special feature and that is supposed to be a reason to buy again.

As many as the Mouse Tell’s us to buy! I’m right there with you AZ! LOL! Solo has to be the biggest SW box office dud I’ve ever seen! but that won’t stop the Mouse from wanting more money.
I saw the trailer and it looks good! Jeff Goldblum, he’s okay, I’m looking forward to Chris Pratt! he did such a great job in the last one! and of course Bryce Dallas Howard (daughter of Ron Howard) what a looker!
Has anyone seen "Ready Player One"? or should I even buy it at all?
Scott
I will watch "Ready Player One" when the DVD is $5 to $7.50, so a long time to wait.
I got a two DVD set of VINTAGE SCI-FI, 6 MOVIE COLLECTION in the mail today. Two of the movies, The H Man and Battle in Outer Space I already got, the other four are new to me. They are, THE 27TH DAY, 12 TO THE MOON, VALLEY OF THE DRAGONS and THE NIGHT THE WORLD EXPLODED, all from Columbia Pictures. I love my classic/vintage Sci-Fi. The only well known actor’s name I see, is Gene Barry, on THE 27TH DAY. These DVDs are released by Mills Creek.

(evil smile) no it is not a bad thing!! mah hah hah AZ
I’m with you there to my friend! I refuse to pay $30.00 or more for any film.
I to love Vintage Sci-Fi movies (love comet TV channel for showing all vintage movies) they showed the H man last month, The Incredible Melting Man, and this month is Godzilla movies. I’m sure I’ve seen Battle in Outer Space, but would love to see it again, have not seen the 27th day, 12 to the moon, or the 2 others! The Rasputin store we have has loads of pack’s of these old sci-fi movies I’ll need to start buying them again, I still have a bunch here but not enough! There are so many old sci-fi TV shows I want as well! right now I have four book case’s full of DVD’s and Blu-Ray’s and starting on second row in front of the another’s, my youngest son has 3 book case’s full of DVD’s and Blu-Ray’s in his bedroom, we are both reaching the point of running out of space! We have a covered back patio, we could always in-close it and use it just for watching and storing our movies! I’ll talk to him about that.

Hey Guys. I knowwhat you mean. My collection got so big, they no longer fitted on my shelves, sothey are now out of the cases in plastic wallets and kept in draws. Only problem now is I’m running out of draw space. LOL. How are you all doing?
Hi, Pearlcorderman, long time it has been. I’m still kicking and screaming, in my nice white jacket. I have DVDs on shelves, in wallets, and stacked precariously waiting for them to fall on the dogs. To consolidate some, I put in paper CD sleeves, then put in cases in order to save space. Open case, find many DVDs.
And now back to, Godzilla the Series, brought to you by Jar Jar Bink’s MESA DON’T CARE Jedi Surplus Store.
Pearllllllllllll! great to see old friend!
Doing okay, as long as the heat here does not kill me! it’s 102 F (dry heat) today, lets go back to winter already! lol
Good to see you hanging out here again! we missed you, give my love to your family from me and a big hug to your boys 🙂
Unfortunately none of us well live long enough to see the day when we finally can see mass storage on a little crystal and all our movies and TV show’s can be carried around in our pockets.

LOOOOL Jar Jar Bink great line AZ!
The H Man was a scary one (when I was a kid) but at my age I’m rarely get scared any more, though my youngest son does like to sneak up on me, like he did last night when I was in the garage looking for something! I turned on him so fast and drew my fist back until I saw him, he nearly fell backwards trying to back out of my way…lol I love "Silent Running" when I was younger and found it on DVD a couple years ago and watched it again, man it had lost almost all the excitement I remember seeing it the first time (love the soundtrack and have it), but it is still an enjoyable movie. I still watch all those old classic monster movies, sci-fi classic’s I just love the old science on what nuclear bombs unleashed in the world, like "Them" with the giant ants or Godzilla and the rest or the post apocalyptic movies! Comet was showing "America 3000" Really dumb! but enjoyable and funny some 30 years later…hell I still love watching "Jonny Quest" the 60’s and the 80’s shows. All these are much more enjoyable then the crap they have show today!
Scott
Silent Running, I bought in on Beta, for $50 back in the 80’s, then got VHS, and have had on DVD. I love the music, I first recorded it on cassette from TV, then bought the LP on green vinyl and finally got the CD. Love the songs. I always wanted to make a jacket with all of the patches on it, just never looked for the patches.
THEM, one of my favorite nuked monster movies. In the movie, the Utah State Police uniforms, are really the same as the real Police, so I found the patches on ebay, including the Red Cross patch as seen in the movie. Unusual that they used real instead of fictional.
Jonny Quest, excellent series in every way. I have the DVDs, of course, and the soundtrack. As always, they reused the music, heard in Space Ghost, and Dino Boy.

Weird is the best way to be! all the other people in my life are so miserable with there life, it’s not funny! I guess that’s why so many people think I’m weird, I love old movies, music (real music) sci-fi, computers and having fun with my friends (you guys) here and Star Trek. I’d rather hang out here then hang out with my family.
Hot damn AZ! I though I was the only one who tried to record stuff off the TV 🙂 (I always got a low hum on the tape’s) I took my little brother (he’s 55 now) to see Silent Running at the theater when it first came out! I finally got the soundtrack here on the shire several years ago and still listen to it. That’s when films were done right, even for a low budget 1950’s film! It was cheaper to use the real patches then make up there own. I still love watching the TV show UFO from the late 70’s, Space 1999!
I don’t know if you can get the old patches anymore, must of what I’ve seen is the current NASA program (The ISS) patches, the old ones are all collectable and extremely expensive. I have a few from The Apollo Program and Viking 1 & 2 Mars Landing Programs thanks to a family friend that retired from NASA, he’s been dead for a long time and had no children so he left them to me when I was a teenager.
Yeah I saw that Rasputin has the DVD first season for $15.00 not bad at all, I need the one from the 80’s or what is called Jonny Quest: The Complete Eighties Adventures and do not want to buy what Amazon is asking $23.00 dollars! which is a rip off for a 30 year old show. I did not know they reused the music for other shows! makes since.

Yes, my wife finale gave the ultimatum. the shelves were too untidy and were two deep with the DVDs and Blurays. So I had to either 1) look for a new place for myself to live 😉 or 2) Hide them away. The thing is, hiding them away is better as she never knows when I’ve been out to buy some more LOL, so it’s a win win situation.

With no wife, I take up as much space as I want to, I’m waiting for the day when we have a nice earthquake and they all end up on the floor or my body is found under all my DVD’s, Blu-Ray’s and bookcases LOL

As for TOS, I bought the re-mastered set last year, some nice FX, and my favorite is The Doomsday Machine, more intense with the new FX. Of course, I will keep the original un-modified set. too many good memories and closeups of the 11 footer just looks so much better than CGI.

Earthquake? I saw the 1974 movie in the theater with Sensurround, not impressed, the theater did not fall on me during the earthquakes…..then again, it was good it did not. John William’s music is still awesome, as almost all of his music like, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants (50 years this fall), Time Tunnel, Jaws, Close Encounters, E.T. and some unknown movies called Star Wars.

The Theater I saw the movie had Universal Sensurround sound system too, it sure shook my innards! I can’t thank of a movie or TV show John Williams did was bad!
I’ve done the same thing with my set of TOS too, one thing I do love about the Blu-Ray set is it has both the Original footage and the updated CGI stuff, music, and sound effects, which CBS was kind enough to re-record, so you can watch it either way. There’s nothing like a real model! CGI just does not give that realizem and feel of something tangible, at lest not yet anyway.

Scott, I would love to get blu-ray, BUT, after buying Beta, VHS. VCD, and DVD, time to enjoy what I got.
The main reason I switched to a Blu-Ray player is because it plays DVD’s too! so I didn’t need to replace all my DVD’s (a lot of the old movies well never be transferred to Blu-Ray) with Blu-Ray, and secondly my boys (which all 3 had already switched to Blu-Ray) could bring there movies over and we all could see a movie together. I still have my VHS tapes too and a player to boot, and catch all kinds of laughter from them, my oldest is still after me to trash them…not going to happen.

I remember going to see silent running while in the Army in Germany. I also have Battle beyond the Stars on DVD too and many others. I also ran out of space in my two DVD cabinets and have DVDs and Blu-rays piled up around my TV. Many of the old movies I found on E-bay. I tend to just watch news and my movies there is not much worth watching on TV.

AZSneed-I did the same thing started off with Beta-VHS-DVD and now Blu-Rays but I do not replace movies I already have on DVD only buy the new ones.
A great movie Silent Running is, the other Battle Beyond the Stars is one I need to get on Blu-Ray, I see it on amazon for $20.00 which is not bad at all.
When I watch the news all I get is pissed off, I just watch it in the morning and then Comet TV and movies as well.

p.s. Max I just noticed your moniker "Retired Viking" LOL Love it 🙂
p.p.s. Pearl yours too "The 2nd Doctor "Oh My Giddy Aunt" LOL Love it too 🙂
Battle Beyond the Stars, good movie and soundtrack. Not a big fan of James Horner, but, he has done some real good new music in the movie, when he ain’t recycling his other movie music (ST II and Wolfen). Speaking of Horner, it was a shame he could not do ST II, II and IV, then it would have had some continuity musically. Leonard Rosenman, who did ST IV, reused music from his Lord of the Ring score in ST IV and some Fantastic Voyage.

My Mattress is a little short as well, so both of us are stuck here on Earth 🙁
Yeah Horner music was differently different, personally I loved the music for Battle Beyond The Stars and STII, STIII (Stealing The Enterprise is my favorite), along with Krull and The Rocketeer…He did reuse a lot of his old music because that’s what the director’s wanted, unfortunately with his death (2015) well never hear anything new from him.
On a side note AZ I have been trying to find some of your old pictures but without any luck! thou I do see you found a picture, There’s one page on Google for images on Planet of the Apes (1960’s) but that’s it…Sorry

I don’t know if you know or interested in a site related to Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom, I have been going to Dinosaur Protection Group, which is the group trying to rescue the Dinosaurs in the movie. Interesting site, adopt a dinosaur, get a certificate to print or share, posters and more. Like with with JW, I get into the promo sites for the movie. Also, downloaded from youtube the soundtrack, and other music inspired by the movie music. I love my music.
I rewatched ICE AGE. Such an enjoyable movie series. "I’m not fat, I’m poofy." My new avatar is from that movie.
Don’t take this seriously, but the title gave me an evil though. Moon of Death….drop pants and fart. (Darth Vader laugh)
Scott, I would love to get blu-ray, BUT, after buying Beta, VHS. VCD, and DVD, time to enjoy what I got.
Thanks AZ. I never thought of that, which is most unlike me LOL.;)

The main reason I switched to a Blu-Ray player is because it plays DVD’s too! so I didn’t need to replace all my DVD’s (a lot of the old movies well never be transferred to Blu-Ray) with Blu-Ray, and secondly my boys (which all 3 had already switched to Blu-Ray) could bring there movies over and we all could see a movie together. I still have my VHS tapes too and a player to boot, and catch all kinds of laughter from them, my oldest is still after me to trash them…not going to happen.

Scotty57, I picked up retired viking since my father side of the family is Norse (Norwegian). As my father would say Elskerv en Norsk. Being retired it fit 🙂

As we say it in Italian "amo essere in pensione" Got the Italian part from my father side.

Thou you could pursue it in your off hours, or on the side as we call it here, that’s what I did for the last 5 years before I was retired, now of course I take on side work all the time, well as long as my heart is okay with it.

I love to work on graphic designs as a hobby. On Commodore 64, I used Doodle, and in Windows, Windows Paint. I have Gimp, just too lazy to learn it. I have done paper props on Replica Props Forum for us members from Land of the Giants, The Invaders, Firefly/Serenity, Cowboy Bebop, and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

That’s another reason way we get alone so well, my Father was full blooded Italian, now my Mother was part Irish, part Prussian (probably the Russian side) and to top it off came from Texas (so part Rebel, but had a great-great grandfather that sided and fought with the Union…go figure) and she was a Rebel/Union women all rolled into one. One thing about us Italians we eat everything as long as it does not bite back.
I can’t drew a straight line with a ruler! but I can hit a gnat in the butt at 50 feet (now that’s not with a Mossberg 500 Tactical either) but with my 45cal 🙂 and I can build and repair a computer, build and install server’s, all the cabling (cat 5 or 6) the switch’s, all the software Yada yada yada…and has not done anything for me in years…now I just help friend’s and family and that makes me happy enough.

I do have my little girl (dog), and never got a card from her. She turned 13 in March, and in September she will be 13 years since I adopted her.

Wow, You can fly us all to some island paradise then 🙂 Nice background and some very interesting ancestors, "La Famiglia" the old country! my fathers side is (according to my Grandmother) related to Al Capone! not sure if it is correct, but I do know we still have family in the old country, just another reason why we get alone so well.
I’ve been using Firefox v. 60 (it’s 64bit) and it runs very well! I need to ask how much RAM is on your computer? and what version of windows are you running? plus it helps if your running the latest versions of Sliverlight, Java, and Flashplayer, all internet servers are set up for windows 10 nowadays and anything less and web site’s won’t show content correctly, just another way for Microsoft to control things and to force everyone to windows 10.

I’m OK with Windows 10 mostly, and It did end up being free. I like free. 😉
As for my PC, Windows 7, and Ram I really do need to upgrade. All programs up to date, and drivers, too. It was just Firefox that slowed me down, after version 56, slower than walking in the La Brea Tar Pits. It acted like there was no internet cache, loading anew each time. So far Seamonkey is fast, after a new site is cached. And, Microsoft, they make Death Eaters look like Saints.

Pearl, free is good, and Darth Vader and the Empire is handing out free cookies, want some?
Yeah I finally went with 10 too, after they fixed the original version! now I’m up to 17134 which is a lot more stable and plays my games without all the dropouts or BSOD’s (Blue Screen Of Death) I like free too! I still miss windows 7, stable as hell but getting long in the tooth and about ready to join the long list of dead OS’s. I’m going to have to build myself a new computer, the one I use now is about 6 years old and starting to show it’s age. Just not looking forward to spending so much money on a new one! things have really changed in the computer industry and more and more games are requiring faster CPU’s and $500.00 plus video cards, thought I’d never see the day when a new CPU would cost almost $1,000.00 or more! Just like the latest cell phone’s! outrageous! but one needs a new one every now and then. I just spent $800.00 on a new Galaxy Note 8, I needed a new cell phone, my old one was one of the first generation smart phone’s and it was only good for making call’s on, none of today’s app’s would run on it, so when I got my new one I felt like coming from the stone age to the 21 century 🙂 now I would not give this one up for nothing, and now I find that Samsung is coming out with the new Galaxy 9 series! oh well.

Over 10 year old PC, flip Tracfone, Kodak Digi-camera, mp3 player and OK with it all. I don’t want or need a Smartphone. Don’t play games, well….solitaire and Yahtzee.
I’m shocked your cell phone works AZ! I thought all cell carriers switched to digital by now…amazing! I don’t use my cell phone to play games, I use to text my friends and family, to do my banking and read some news. I still have my Apple Itouch for my mp3 music (better then the Zune I had) Yeah I play solitaire on my phone, when I’m waiting for my Doctor, other then that it stay’s on my desk or in my pocket.
10 year old PC! I’m surprised it’s still running your version of windows AZ! the longest I’ve seen a PC last is about 5 years, after that time things start to fail! Hard Drive First then the RAM, all HD’s are rated for about 5 years (now with Solid State Drives [SSD] I give them about 3 years before they die, no moving parts, all very fast RAM chips and cost you an arm & leg) RAM chips when the unit is turned on the chips expand (Heat) and when you shut your PC down they cool off and contract, causing micro cracks, plus the tiny components on the chips go through the same thing, day after day. The biggest reason people need a new PC is Microsoft creates new software, that needs more RAM and faster CPU’s to process all this, windows 8, 8.1 and now 10 have changed everything! My system has 4 CPU’s (AMD Quad Core) with 32 Gig’s of RAM and I know it is way out of date for windows 10! sad really! But what do I do? I can’t even play any of the newer games because I don’t even meet the minimum requirements to play a game and I would just waste my money! so it’s either upgrade to a newer PC or play all my old games, which I have done now for several years…a catch 22!

Scott, It is called the luck of the Irish when it comes to computers for me.
In 1986 I bought my Commodore 64, for 10 years I was happy, then support in the form of magazines and other stuff dried up. Then in 1996, got my first PC, now on my 5th PC. I only finally got online in 1999, was because of Y2K. After that, it did get better in this way, meeting good people like you and all of the others I knew and know here, and SHOPPING all over the World. Just this week, I got for the first time, a package from that far off land, Hawaii. From the Southeast, it is very, very far away.
I just watched the movie and now watching the extras of one of my most favorite Disney movies…20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Being a hardware man, I love the design of the Nautilus. It is my 3rd favorite sub behind the Seaview and Flying Sub. And, let’s not forget the music, awesome.

Hot damn! I had the commodore 64 too with a 300 baud modem! used to play chess with a cousin, Now that is a blast from the past 🙂 Y2K! made a crap load of money off that phony scam! in the end nothing happened, everyone saying…every computer will crash, Armageddon for the world LOOOOOL
Oh I agree! if it was not for the internet none of us would be here or good friends…shopping on line!! a man after my own heart!! poor UPS or USPS dropping packages off every day at my house 🙂 And your right…all the great music!
Love that movie! and still watch it! I did get to ride the Nautilus at Disneyland when I was a kid 🙂 yeah even for me Hawaii is 3,000 miles away (my oldest son and his family) came back from there 2 months ago, had a good time but the weather was not in there favor!

I’m just waiting for the day that my old laptop that is acting as my server, ends up expanding to 6 foot wide LOL.

Love watching all those movies/TV shows too, real water is always the best, just don’t say that to the special effect guys, they hated working in real water, could never make water size match the model size 🙂 always a dead give away. Yeah it has stuck with me after all these years too, sadly Disney Land here in California it lasted until 1998, then reopened in 2007 as Finding Nemo.

I have been converting videos I downloaded from youtube, and one of them is, Filmation’s "Flash Gordon-The Greatest Adventure of All" TV Movie. It has never been released on video in the US. In Japan, it was on Laser Disc in the 80’s and that is the version I got, with Japanese subtitles, way better than my over the air recording I made in 1983, the only time on NBC-TV. Still the best version that follows the comics. Of, course, Buster Crabbe’s version is my favorite live version. I just watched the Sam Jone’s version, not a bad movie, just silly in parts. I love Brian Blessed’s Hawkman, a real treat to watch.
I had not seen this or even heard of this version! well damn it has not come out, that’s a shame! I can’t even find a Laser Disc player, because I have a bunch of disc’s I bought but no player…sucks. I’ve tried looking at our local video store (Rasputin’s) but nothing so far, so I’ll keep looking for the classic TV/Move shows. His Hawkman was most notable for me too! Did you know that the "Flash Gordon-The Greatest Adventure of All" was Ted Cassidy last project before he died?
Scott
If you want to see "Flash Gordon-The Greatest Adventure of All", check out youtube, or online some where else, you will not find in any store.
I did not know that about Ted Cassidy. What ever he did, I liked.
I was looking at all of my VHS tapes and forgot I bought a tape of episodes of Men Into Space. And I also need to transfer the VHS movies of Earth II and Probe (pilot to Search TV series), why buy burned disc from Warner Archives, when I can burn for free?
What happened to Soundtrekker?

Earth II I know is on DVD, so is Probe. I’ve burn them too, but they never come out looking very good, so I try and buy them, sometimes Amazon prices are not to bad, but other times…good Lord they want an arm & leg.

Department that would have made the Roman Empire jealous as hell) but we can’t have the bad guys win! and of course the Emperor was a idiot! he always had to hold all power in his hands, be a sadistic sob and most important "Revenge" was his guiding light! That was the reason for his ultimate down fall, it blinded him and his excuse for all the evil he gave to everyone else.
It looks like Men Into Space has never been released on DVD! that I did not know, of course it was only on the air for 1 season…to bad.

Hey everyone
What happened to Soundtrekker?
I have no idea! I pm’d him when I returned but he has not replied. I miss him too!
Hi Spectre! good to see you 🙂 hows life treating you?
Scott
Yea, Warner Archives (Earth II and Probe DVD) have lots of our favorite movies and TV on burned DVD, for the low price of an arm and two legs or your first born child, whichever you want to part with. Never bought from Warner Archives, but, the DVD are un-copyable, so I have read. The ones from Amazon, I think are arranged through Warner Archives.
The Emperor reminds me of another leader, that really should not be named. Dogs howl, babies cry, and men wet themselves when his name is mentioned.
Oh, do I miss the Squire’s music, and the way he slapped Kirk.

Now that AT&T has bought Warner maybe (crossing fingers, toes and eyes…made myself dizzy…"I’m so dizzy, my head is spinning Like a whirlpool, it never ends") okay enough of that crap! maybe the prices might come down and they might release more of there classic movies! I am hoping and praying that Comcast buys 20th Century Fox! if Disney gets Fox we can forget seeing anymore classic Fox movies ever again…Disney will bury them so deep in there vault my Grandchildren will have to watch my copies until they won’t play anymore.
the only other leader I know that does all that is Bob Iger! 🙂 May his third leg fall off and wither to dust.
Yeah I do love those pilots that never made it all the way! Phaser Rifle at the ready, set to disintegrate 😉 Yeah Amazon has them and cheaper then Warner Archive anywhere from $14.00 to 18.00 dollars each. Warner has them, the price is a few dollars more then Amazon, so it’s dealers choice and there both MOD (Made On Demand) so quality is any ones guess…my guess is there the TV cut, so 35 millimeter has been cut to fit your screen and we lose half of what was filmed and it’s probably the VHS copy to boot. You would have thought after Gene Roddenberry death Warner would have gone back to the original negative and restored it and put it them out on DVD and Blu-Ray! but Noooo! I have "The Questor Tapes" on DVD and it’s the same (TV cut) and Universal did the same damn thing. I have "Colossus – The Forbin Project" and it’s the same way too (love that movie and both books) I have just read an article that Universal is now going to release a ton of soundtracks from there older movies! way to go Universal! now that we are older then dust they release them.
Soundtrekker is a one of a kind man! I hope he comes back!
Scott
I had received an email announcing UNIVERSAL PICTURES AND LA-LA LAND RECORDS LAUNCH “UNIVERSAL PICTURES FILM MUSIC HERITAGE COLLECTION”, so maybe we might see some we would have killed for (figuratively speaking) when we younger. I find a lot of the soundtracks I want are from Warner, and I doubt I will see them, like the complete soundtrack to the 80’s Thundercats.
I have the Gene Roddenberry movies The Questor Tapes, Planet Earth, Genesis II and Spectre. These are burned disc recorded from VHS, and came as a set with Strange New World, I bought from ebay many years ago. Spectre video I have is the UK theatrical film with additional footage that includes nudity. I would love to have the soundtracks from all of those movies. Except for two tracks from The Questor Tapes on the Kolchak: The Night Stalker soundtrack, I am not aware of other releases.
We talked about the "too many DVDs storage problem", so I have started to consolidate my collection. I have may unused DVD cases, and found one that holds 5 DVDs, so, I put all 5 original Planet of the Apes movies in one case which is as thick as 1 1/2 regular cases, instead of 5 cases. Then downloaded a new DVD wrap, printed it on photo paper and it looks like I bought them that way. I am looking on ebay to see how many DVDs can fit in one case, and planning to buy a few. As I create more DVDS from VHS, Beta, and downloaded videos, I need all of the room I can get. If a set is in a slipcase, I probably will keep them that way, if no case, WATCH OUT!

I found out Saturday that some of the old movies Universal did are now on Blu-Ray!! Yes 🙂 [Colossus: The Forbin Project] and at a reasonable price ($22.00) and keep the original aspect ratio! You can get all three films on DVD for around $50.00 dollars, all three have there original Aspect Ratio: 1.33:1! thou there is a downside, Strange New World is missing 3 minutes! City Beneath The Sea is on DVD, Crack in the World, I can see Amazon is going to own my credit card!
Yeah I just hoped AT&T would kick Warner’s in the butt and get the old movies rolling out on normal DVD or Blu-Ray and straighten out the DC universe before they squaw that up any more then they have already. Lets hope La La Land gets everything from Universal and neither one squaws this up too.

Just great! Here I am, stuck cleaning up after Spock’s Pon Farr party this past weekend, as everyone beams down to watch the ceremony. I wonder where Scotty has hidden the Scotch?

I took it with me laddie! and looks like you did a good job cleaning the old girl!
I did a search and found a few on Amazon "Maxtek Black 8 Disc DVD Cases with 3 Flip Trays and Outter Clear Sleeve, 10 Pack" <—this on holds 5 DVD’s per case for $15.00 dollars. I was looking for the larger ones! I have the first 4 seasons of Blue Bloods and it comes in a large case that holds 24 DVD’s would be great for all the old sci-fi movies! but so far I can’t find the empty case. I did find the paper selves which is crap and storage hand case’s, so some one has to make them!
So at the end of my searches all I’ve found is Amazon (the largest is 10 DVD’s in one case) or something on ebay…madding!
Scott
I saw one DVD case on ebay (I don’t shop Amazon unless no choice) that holds 16. I would go to the thin cases, but, I keep losing them in between the regular ones, unless laying flat. I noticed that a lot of the DVDs I buy are in cases that have center clips not used that will hold insert (page?) that I could buy that would increase by 1 or 2 DVDS that are in the case. I remember buying some of my first DVDs in CD cases, I liked that at first.
With the program that I am using to convert mp4 videos to DVD, I will be burning on one of my favorite 50’s TV show, Space Patrol. I have over 30 episodes I downloaded, and so far only got 4 on DVD. I just burned 4 episodes of Tom Corbett Space Cadet, another good 50’s series. The 50’s had some of the best Sci-Fi, I’m guessing because of the optimism and fear for the future in the 21 Century and beyond. And we know how great the 60’s were for Sci-Fi!

I came across that when I was just searching for Earth II this morning, what a find! Can’t wait to get that one, if one looks close enough you well see the Jupiter II model in the background when it shows Pacifica city…That’s the last time the original model was seen until 1992 (search on youtub for jupiter ii original model) and someone trying to restore the model. It really was in bad shape, you’ll see in the video.
The 50’s was the best, at lest for us kids (at the time) your right AZ both where in full swing! I had so much fun and imagination when I was a kid, I tried to do the same for my kids! all three do love movies but only my middle son has gone to collage for high tec learning and works for a high tec company. So all in all I think my kids had a great childhood too…none have said otherwise!

And be safe out there!!!

Be safe, don’t blow yourself up, eat lots of barbecue and for the holiday watch Star Trek, The Omega Glory.
P.S. I AM NOT CLEANING UP AFTER THE PARTY!

I watched some real classic movies, The Thing From Another World in Color, and the only King Kong, AND The Day of the Triffids movie, to me better the the updated versions.

I’m here laddie! had a wee bit to much at the last party! I woke up on the chamber (I’ll talk about that later…may be) the inter mix is set right or I’ll eat neutronium!
All great movie’s AZ! The Thing From Another World did they colorize it? because I remember it in black & white! which for me makes it more scary and suspenseful! I still remember when they colorized the three stooges shorts and Laurel & Hardy shorts and they all looked horrible! Freaken Ted Turner should have been shot for doing that…thank God turner does not own any media company’s anymore.
Scott
The color version was a Ted special, and I liked them. Ray Harryhausen supervised colorizing some of his movies, and the disc can be switched back and forth, I sill prefer the colorized.
If you like Kung Fu movies and sort of bloody Horror, you might like Tsui Hark’s Vampire Hunters. It is a very good movie, and I just watched it again last night (when Vampires are out), and it is not your typical teeth in neck Vampire movie, lot and lots of action, it is about a Master and his four students hunting a Vampire Master.

we are having high humidity here (which is not normal) so I have a problem breathing (COPD) and need to stay indoors, AC going and on oxygen and all this makes me sleepy and slow to want to do anything. I’m doing better today, thanks for caring my friend 🙂
Yes I do like movies of bloody Horror! along with Zombie movies (the good ones anyway…which is a very short list) I’ll check that one out, sounds like John Carpenter "Vampires" which I really like…Thanks for the advise on movies! most of the ones others (that would be no body on this thread, but my family!) recommend are real stinkers and yawners!
On the colorizing of B/W films….I don’t know AZ, the ones I have seen just don’t look right! something about it just does not look natural! maybe it’s me? I don’t know! but for me it takes away to much from the story, the feel of the film, drama, suspense!! like I said maybe it’s just me…I’m a Originalist! Yeah I know, real life is in color but some films just look and feel better in B/W and some films look and feel better in color! I can’t imagine watching Ben Hur in black and white! or any of the other classic 50’s and 60’s film’s in Black and White (at lest the ones originally filmed in B/W) re-colorized! like I said, it’s just me.
Scott
I too, feel some of the colorization is off, but, I still like to see color. For Sci-Fi and fantasy, colorized seems to fit. Take on how they did The Wizard of OZ, started in sepia tone for reality and color for fantasy, that is the way I feel about colorizing.
How do you like the Resident Evil movie series? I really like them, except for how they ended the series in the last movie. Really gross and really action excitement.

Thanks my friend!
Today is going to be 105 here to! unfortunately we have some overcast so the humidly is going to push the heat even higher, not looking forward to that. It’s 10:20am here and it is already 93, yeah AC on and running! the major problem here is we live in a valley and the air quality goes down the toilet real fast and those with asthma or COPD really struggle to breathe…sucks but nothing we can do.
For some reason the Wizard of Oz works for me! I think because the fantasy scenes where filmed in color not shot in b/w then colorized. The technology just is not there yet that can turn a b/w film into a natural looking color film. Kind of like taking a 35mm film and up scaling it to Blu-ray then to 4K, just looks like crap!
I like the Resident Evil films, have not seen the last one yet, waiting for the price to come down more before I buy it and complete my collection…have the rest on Blu-ray. I heard that Paul W. S. Anderson and his wife Milla Jovovich are starting a new franchise based on capcom’s "Monster Hunter" video games, we shell see how this goes!
Take care of your self AZ and stay under the AC like me 🙂
Scott
I am watching Gerry Anderson’s UFO now, and I still haven’t seen any strings coming out of the heads of the actors, nice job.(LOL!) So far, I have never found a Gerry Anderson produced show that I didn’t like, even the unsold pilots.
Scott, do you like anime? I remember my first, Astroboy, and since anime is from Japan, then would you not call Rankin and Bass’s THE HOBBIT and 80’S THUNDERCATS anime since they were animated in Japan?

Hmmm I never heard or played "Monster Hunter" I’m reading about the game now! interesting story. I played the first Diablo, but never got the chance to play any of the others (work).
UFO is one of the best shows I ever saw as a teenager! never missed a episode and still watch it too. I’ve seen some of the other Gary Anderson shows, but Space 1999 and UFO are my favorite’s. Every now and then "Comet TV" will show Thunderbirds Are Go or Thunderbird 6 movie’s! which is nice to see again, oh they (Comet TV) has been showing "Flash Gorden" films! which has been nice seeing them again.
I watched Thundercats (my kids wanted to see them) along with all from the 80’s and 90’s anime, some where really good and we all 4 enjoyed watching them, but then my kids grow up and everything changed…school, girls, dance’s…the normal teenage things. Now they still watch these shows but with there kids and my grandkids don’t like them and want to watch the newer stuff "Not this old stuff" as they put it or play with there phone or ipad LOL things never change.
Scott
Kids and their phones, I’m glad I never got one.
As for anime, the older stuff is better, when they started mixing cell art and CGI, not too good. Some of my favorite one are, Robotech, Hellsing (vampires), Captain Harlock, The Slayers(sword & sorcery comedy with Lina Inverse) Tenchi Muyo (comedy with teen boy and alien girls) and Record of Lodoss War (more sword & sorcery serious).
"Not this old stuff"! I have always loved "old stuff" starting as a teen, and prefer it still. Give me Dragnet, The Lone Ranger, Flash Gordon, movie serials, Bugs Bunny, and so on.

Some games are just so much fun to play and I count how many games I have won and still continue to play them today! I’m just amassed they still run under windows 10 and still play great.
Most people don’t have a home (land line) phone anymore! I don’t and my oldest son and middle son doesn’t have one either! we all use our cell phones, my youngest still has a land line phone at his house.
We love the old stuff too! much better then the CGI crap they use today, yeah I love the old TV shows you mentioned above as well, plus 1 Adam 12, hell you can’t find the old Bugs Bunny cartoons from World War II (to political incorrect for today…what a load of BS) I love those from that time period! luckily I found them on YouTube and downloaded them all. At lest we can still get the old Jackie Chan movies, along with so many more before the libs make them illegal!

… -_- I know everything about Star Trek, it’s become cumbersome to my brain thinky grey matters
Mike Okuda is great, he makes designes for them
I just finished the 1st season of Hercules with Kevin Sorbo. I only bought the 1st season, now I wished I bought the rest.
Also, watched one of our favorite Star Trek Animated episodes, YESTERYEAR. Somewhere packed up, I have the storyboards from the whole episode I bought from Lincoln Enterprise.
Speaking of Lincoln Enterprise, when I bought stuff from then in the 70’s, they sent as a freebie, a black and white photo of the cast of the TV series Search, and a color photo of Asmodeus from Specre, and I still have both.
Too angry to transcribe my 32 years of built-up poetry and submit it to a publisher, because my countrymen are stupid jerks who don’t deserve to read it
I am kind of burned out on all forms of entertainment at this point. The only medicine I think would help is laughter, which I don’t think I can get from anyone but my family anymore, who are all likewise kind of freaking out and/or being stupid jerks.
Basically the United States of StupidJerk…these people never cracked open a book of poetry in their life, gawd

Welcome to the thread Thief! Yes we discuss Star Trek and just about every sci-fi related TV show, Movie…you name it!
Mike Okuda and his wife are okay, there just 2 people that have been around longer then the others (most have passed away) and star trek has now fallen to JJ and we all have seen what he has done to our beloved star trek. Most of us here have watched the original show since the beginning (1968) and yes I am a old (60) and do not like what JJ has done to it. But all in all we try and keep the original idea alive…anyway welcome and have fun.

I’m doing okay, staying indoors as much as I can…another 108 today, that makes 23 straight days of double digit heat! Can’t wait for winter lol!
Hercules was a good show! just could not get into it, I occasionally watched it. Same can be said about Xena warrior princess! for what I have seen at my local Rasputin store you can pickup both series fairly cheap! If it goes to Blu-ray all bets are off 🙂
Majel Roddenberry made a killing off of Lincoln Enterprises! I know I had there catalog too and bought a ton of stuff off them! I still have one of the film cells of the Enterprise blown-up, framed and hanging on my wall! I still have one of there Exploration patches "science" framed as well, most of the other stuff has been lost or taken over the years…sadly. I wonder what they are worth today? if one does a google search all this stuff is all over the internet today! I get emails every day from companies wanting to sell me Star Trek stuff, pictures,patches,models,model kits, you name it…even Starship dedication plaques (which I would love to have) the prices are not that bad, it’s just wall space…lol

I have a resin Enterprise Dedication Plaque hanging on my wall, which I bought off of ebay many years ago and above that, the cutaway poster of the NCC-1701.
You are a little older than me, I turn 60 in September, where has the time gone….damned Klingons!
because battle intro animations
betcha didn’t see that one coming

The film cell I bought a long time ago is starting to show it’s age, the others I keep in a strong box so the sun light has not gotten to them yet. I guess the only way to preserve them is to put them in very expensive display case’s that cut out the infrared light (which is what destroys pictures, film and all the other stuff) I just take them out when someone wants to see them.
I’m about a year older then you, because my birthday is in September too! this year I’ll be 61, damn Klingon’s is right! they will prematurely age a person in no time.

Older by one year :p LOL I used to tell my mothers friends and doctors she was a day older then dirt! so Yes I rode a wooly mammoth! stayed warm and made tracks to better, warmer area’s loooool
No, about 2 to 3 hours away from me, thou we are getting the smoke here and is making the air very heard to breathe and when we have double digit heat (102 today) it makes for a real pain in the butt place to live.
flash floods! holy crap man, don’t get swapped away! I hope your on higher ground? I don’t know whats worse, smoke and 102 heat or flooding! next it well be dogs and cats living together! Take care of your self my friend and stay safe 🙂

On a side note, has anyone checked the box office take of the last 3 JJ Star Trek Movies? No! well they have not done very well and I wonder why! It seems there may not be a 4th one, since Chris Pine and Chris Hemsworth are asking for major motion picture actor salaries (something like Dwayne Johnson 40 million a picture) and Paramount Replaying No Way In Hell! We shall see what happens, thou I won’t be seeing this Star Trek movie either, I stopped at the 2009 one.

Good to see you AZ! I was getting worried!!! the last time you were on here you said something about flooding in your area! Man the last thing I need is you floating down some god forsaken river and out into the sea!! or worse!!
Thank God for DVD & Blu ray is right!
I have all 9 years of that show too and not a bad idea of watching it again…thanks AZ for bring it up 🙂 I saw the new one and it was really good, I highly recommend watching it. Take care of your self my friend!

I heard a song I would never have thought to hear in an X-Files episode, "Bad boys, bad boys,Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do,When they come for you…" in their COPS episode, season 7. I remember when the series debuted on FOX, I thought that this series is so good it will be cancelled, was I surprised!

Now I have to catch up on all the posts in this thread from the time you came back earlier this year (3 months ago). The reason I wasn’t aware of the return of Mister Scott (sounds like a monster movie title from the fifties, doesn’t it?) was my permanent ban just about three weeks before you rematerialized again. Well, banning Trelane didn’t work, at least not permanently – General Trelane is back, with a vengence, just got rid of my old name. The machinery behind my mirror here on Gothos is working again, got a new one from my parents, so I can play again in my little castle, and have fun again! Hip, hip, hooray – TALLY-HO! 🙂
Have to go for now, will be back soon!
Oh, and good to see you again too, AZSneed, Pearlcorderman, and Max Stein!
The Squire, f.k.a. Soundtrekker
I just finished the complete series (all 6 episodes) of the BBC/20th Century Fox/ABC TV (US) TV series of MOONBASE 3. It is from 1973, made by people who worked on Doctor Who. I like the serious tone, and the good stories. The base is European and Moobase 1, the US and of course there are other counties, like Russia and China that have bases. The series is on youtube, no US release on DVD.and the DVDs are hard to fine, I got lucky on Amazon last year. As with BBC series back then, they erased the tapes and the series was lost, until they found the episodes in the US.

Well, banning Trelane didn’t work, at least not permanently – General Trelane is back, with a vengence, just got rid of my old name. The machinery behind my mirror here on Gothos is working again, got a new one from my parents, so I can play again in my little castle, and have fun again! Hip, hip, hooray – TALLY-HO! 🙂
Have to go for now, will be back soon!
Oh, and good to see you again too, AZSneed, Pearlcorderman, and Max Stein!
The Squire, f.k.a. Soundtrekker
As soon as I saw your reply in my morning email my heart jumped with joy that you had returned! Hip, Hip, Hooray!!!! (see I said it :p ) I had no idea you had been band! Who in there right mind would permanently ban a great man such as your self? as long as I have known you, you have done nothing wrong, hurt any person and have uploaded some of the best music!! Someone has a major screw loose!!! Thank God you have returned old friend! We have all missed you and your music, so strike up the orchestra and play my favorite piece "Roses from the South" (which I’m listening to it right now in celebration of your return!!!!!)
WELCOME HOME General Trelane!! Hip, Hip, Hooray 🙂 (see I said it again) and yes using my name like that does sound like a movie from the fifties LOOOL
If you need any work on your machines let me know I am always available and can work miracles!
When you catchup some of my reply’s might help explain my absences! I’ll PM you and we can talk, until then take care my friend
Scott

Wow! The Squire is back! So you misbehaved again, and your parents gave you a timeout, and then they forgave your impish ways and turned you loose on the Universe again. Hip, hip, hooray! Mister Scott won’t say it, but, I think he was hiding on the Shore Leave Planet, until Spock found him and back in Engineering he went.
I just finished the complete series (all 6 episodes) of the BBC/20th Century Fox/ABC TV (US) TV series of MOONBASE 3. It is from 1973, made by people who worked on Doctor Who. I like the serious tone, and the good stories. The base is European and Moobase 1, the US and of course there are other counties, like Russia and China that have bases. The series is on youtube, no US release on DVD.and the DVDs are hard to fine, I got lucky on Amazon last year. As with BBC series back then, they erased the tapes and the series was lost, until they found the episodes in the US.
"A Wee bit of to much shore leave laddie!! canna not like that Vulcan nerve pinch thing, blast that pointy ear man!" "but I’m fine now, in engineering and getting the old gal into shape again!"
I did a little checking AZ and that series is going for $66.00 dollars on Amazon for 6 episodes! and it’s PAL format, which we can’t play here. Yeah I’d use YouTube too!
Scott
Vulcan Nerve pinch, be glad it was not the Vulcan Death Grip or victim of Pon Farr :erm:

You got it at a great price AZ 🙂
Pon Farr! Would have diffidently caused me to viperize Mr. Spock…and I do not think the Captain would be to pleased with me! but it’s better then the alternative LOL
Scott
And, also at Target, LP records of Pink Floyd and other Classic Rock groups…LPs! Nothing ever goes out of style, next up….8 Tracks. LOL!

The toy company Mego is back in production after a 30 year absence! so that’s why we are seeing these figures once again! looks like a hell of a great year for Star Trek (the one we all love and remember!!!) and Mego is releasing 2 new figures! so I predict several people well be broke when 2019 rolls around LOL and yes that includes me 🙂
LP’s are differently making a come back, not like the old days (there are 20 pressing plants in the US! that’s it) plus no one make’s the press’s anymore and the technical know how to operate them is difficult to find and every pressing the press’s have to be cleaned…so there is going to be shortages of vinyl for some time to come. 8 Track would be much easier to make then vinyl! but I bet we don’t have the machines to make the players anymore! CD’s have really squared the music industry.
Personally I much prefer Vinyl over CD’s…nothing sounds better then vinyl!!, thank God I have kept mine all these years, along with my vinyl 45’s! I still have a turntable setup hooked into my computer system so I burn the vinyl to my system and put the vinyl away. I even have a few laser disks, now all I need is the player 🙂
Scott
I know that LPs are better than CDs for sound, for sure! I won’t buy LPs now, unless I find one that has never been released on CD or can’t find on youtube.
I have videos on the CED discs but, no RCA CED player. I have been transferring LPs and cassettes to PC. I find cassettes at flea markets and thrift stores cheap, transfer them, faster than downloading them with my dial-up. LOL! (crying, too)

Yeah they just went back into Business and bring there old line back to stores! They have a facebook page but so far I can’t find a corporate web page. Yeah I sure wish my dad had not cleaned out the garage after we left home, he throw out so many of our toys that could have made us millionaires today lol
The store I use is Rasputin Music & Movies, try http://www.rasputinmusic.com/ they sell LP’s very cheap! Unfortunately they are only in California, but you can order on line, thou there on line catalog is smaller then whats in the store. There CD’s (at lest in the store I use) is huge! I could spend all day looking through there CD’s and not get through them all. I even try the thrift shops (great place to find DVD’s, CD’s, and LP’s) and way cheap!! sometimes I even find computer games, just can’t find a Laser Disk Player…I’ll keep looking. The CED player I’ve seen on ebay $60.00 to $300.00 and people selling the disks as well, check ebay AZ could not hurt. Yeah I do remember dialup! Sorry DSL has not come to your area yet or cable, you don’t even want to know what we pay for cable…makes my stomach ache! but we only have two options in a city with 500,000 people in it…DSL (AT&T) or cable (Comcast)…sucks!
Scott
I have access to DSL (AT&T), just can’t afford it. Besides, I hate, really hate, despise, loath, and so on, AT&T and the harassing calls to save on bundles.
I have been watching episodes of Doctor Who, the 3rd one, Jon Pertwee from 1970 and 1972. He is one of my favorite Doctors, along with Tom Baker, Peter Davison and Sylvester McCoy of the older Doctors. I enjoyed seeing the series on my local Public TV station in the 80’s, now a few episodes on DVD. When the newer series came on, I was thrilled to again see K-9 and Sarah Jane Smith from the Tom Baker era.

I know that feeling AZ on both counts! I use Comcast, it is expensive, the only good thing is they don’t call! there is no dial-up service anymore in our city…either DSL or Cable…sucks and only 2 carriers here, oh you can get over the air wireless (DSL) but it costs more then the other two!
I was a my local Rasputin store yesterday and all there Doctor Who series (DVD) are priced way to high! Yeah I watched the new doctor who series as well and the spin offs, but when David Tennant left (at lest for me) the show went down and I lost interest in the show and things changed for me. I still collect the music from Murray Gold, but now he is leaving and they have a new doctor, a female! When the show comes back on I’ll check it out, I don’t have much hope for it, but one never knows.
Mego figures so far look really good! I’ll be getting a few for myself for Christmas this year and locking them away! by the time my grandkids have kids they may be worth more!
Scott
I didn’t get to see Jurassic World:Fallen Kingdom in the theater, so on the 18th the DVD/Blu-ray comes out. I need to find a way to see Fantastic Beast in November. How about seeing if Captain Pike’s motorized chair comes up in Star Fleet surplus sale. I have some aged Scotch if you buy it.

I did not know Perter Davison is David Tennant father-in law! Yes he did a wonderful job on Harry Potter! he is a really good actor, I was just sorry to see him go.
I have not seen the movie at the theater, as a matter of fact I have not seen it period. Laddie if I can find it both you and I well ride in style for sure 🙂

Scotty informed me that I was hangin’ ’round the old-old-old forum, not this new shiny one. So for those who don’t know ??? Marc Cushman is working on THESE ARE THE VOYAGES #4. It’s about Roddenberry & Star Trek after TOS. Supposedly we are going through the first movie or two, but I worry that the book would be too heavy to lift! Right now we’re about 5 or 6 episodes into TAS, covering each episode the way the stories in the first 3 books were done ??? draft versions, acting, comments from the media, etc ??? And yes, I’m polishing Marc’s words again diligently.
The Jacobs/Brown page for the book (with bare-bones announcement) is: http://www.jacobsbrownmediagroup.com/these-are-the-voyages-gene-roddenberry-and-star-trek-in-the-1970s.html
And the great thing for me, tee-hee-hee ??? I get to learn all this stuff before anybody else!
Cheers,
Thanks for the update, and you lucky fan, seeing before other. It is a good thing your avatar is blue, not red shirt….just saying.
Here’s a Mego Spock sitting on an Enterprise in front of a STAR TREK: The Motion Picture poster.
Mark, have you seen the new MEGO figures at Target? I would buy them, but, I have enough figures.

Welcome to the forum Mark! glad you made it. I just saw the page concerning to forth coming book and can’t wait to read it! Your one lucky guy, but the rest of us will get to read it later, but for know don’t give us any spoilers! 😉 enjoy your stay and have a great time…
Scott
I do remember the TV show! I was 11 when it was first on 🙂 man has time flied by! I saw it in color, we had a color TV then and the first on our block, boy that TV weighted a ton! I enjoy watching those old shows when we were kids, sure better then what my own kids watched when they were kids, and today there is nothing worth a crap for kids to watch! what a shame! Time tunnel, Voyage To The Bottom Of The Sea, Lost In Space, Batman (1966 show), Star Trek, The Green Hornet, so many shows for kids and the Saturday Morning Cartoons…boy we had it great back then!
I take my collection of Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny cartoons over for my granddaughter (she is 14) and her mom and dad watch them with us and we laugh our butts off!! next weekend I’m taking the Three Stooges collection over (I have all the years) to watch. I sure miss those times AZ! life was so simple, just have clean fun, no worries, no violence what so ever, oh we had an occasional scuffle with one of the neighborhood kid’s but nothing like today!
Scott
I feel sorry for kids today, with the junk to watch, video games and smart phones. We really played (outside), watched awesome cartoons, and real games (board). Of course. NOW, all of the stuff I wanted to buy that was not made for my favorite shows you can buy. Some of the toys I had like, vacuum form machine, plastic goop, both with a real heating units (never burned my fingers), not light bulb came out in the 90’s, and some of the dolls…I mean, action figures, are always being re-released, so nothing ever really dies out, it usually come back around, like Mego.
P.S. I did not get to watch Land of the Giants, my PC DVD player would not play the disc, I need to buy a new player.

That’s way I just love my blue ray player, it play’s my dvd’s, of course blue ray disc’s and burnt dvd’s as well (from my PC) 🙂
Oh Hell Yes! I love those shows, I have so many great memory’s of watching the Wild, Wild, West on Friday night’s alone with Get Smart! My oldest son bought me the complete collection of the man from U.N.C.L.E. (United Network Command for Law and Enforcement) I’ve watched that collection 3 times lol I still get laughs from my kids when they call or come over and see me watching those shows, but I don’t care there funner then the crap they have on TV today! Just last night I was watching the old Dean Martin Roast from YouTube, still funny as hell today! Have you seen the new version of that show? Good Lord it is so vulgar, nasty and just down right crude! not to mention Not Funny at all.
Yeah I could go broke buying all the toys they have today, tho I will buy some now that Mego has returned 🙂 I guess your right! I get email for a site called https://www.anovos.com/ they sell just about everything to do with Sci Fi shows and movies, great site but what they want for some of the costumes would make a billionaire pass out!
Scott
I haven’t watched Dean Martin Roast since it was on TV way…way..back lllloooonnnngggg ago. Oh, I just thought of another series I loved to watch, Hee Haw.
My favorite holiday is coming up, Halloween. Besides watching the old excellent horror movie, like the Universal Monsters, also, seeing the in store items and masks. So far, I saw animatronic dinosaurs at Wal-Mart, and a lot of Harry Potter (go, go, Gryffindor), weird costumes and the skeletons.

Hee Haw! now there is a blast from the past!! 🙂 I love the fence part every time they did it LOOOOOL "Where Are You Tonight" "And Theeep you were gone"
Mine too! last year my granddaughter went as Wonder Women and she is a knockout in that custom, my poor son was not happy at all LOL he did not lose sight of her for a second and I don’t blame him one bit. Halloween is the time at lest for me to watch all the zombie movies I have and of course the old horror movies…I love watching these movies one day each day until the 31st. can’t eat the candy anymore but I still have fun. Walmart started putting up all the Halloween stuff about a week ago, not even going to wait until October! oh well.

I’m watching my favorite Halloween movies (sort of) Harry Potter. Just watched Boris Karloff in The Mummy, and more to come.
Speaking of Harry Potter, I’m surprised to see so much Halloween stuff from the movies. At Target, I got a lighted Dragon skull, and looking at the stuff at Home Depot.
Remember this year, Trick AND Treat, why settle just for one. (evil laugh)
This withered old heart was warmed and tickled when they got up to enact "The Skeleton Dance" along with the onscreen bony boys. Awwww…
Got to watch out about warming that withered old heart, you might come back to life this Halloween.
I’m looking forward to my distant relative, Barnabas Collins coming for his annual visit, Dark Shadows a coming!

That was my ex-wife, she is the only person that can ride a broom vertically and achieve flight! LOOOL "Loading anti bitch missile’s…and firing"!! WOOOHOOO Score one kill for the team!! 🙂
I’ve seen the Harry Potter movie’s playing on the SyFi (seffee what a name) and on the USA Channel (Both owned by Comcast)…my youngest son just bought the Universal Classic Monsters: Complete 30-Film Collection (Dracula / Frankenstein / Bride of Frankenstein / Wolf Man / The Mummy / and more) on Blu-ray and we are going to watch them as we get closer to Halloween 🙂
A person can go broke with all the things they have at Target & Walmart…we picked up a few things as well he he he he
Yeah get what you can at Home Depot…when it’s gone it is gone forever! I assume you guys read or watched the news about Sears? Good Lord how does a company have 6.94 billion in assets to 11.34 billion in liabilities and some bank paid there 134 million debt payment? who in there right mind would pay that and ever except to ever get re-paid? Sears or Walmart no company in debt that much is worth saving!! let it die!

Over the weekend we had the two eight-year-old granddaughters (cousins born 15 days apart) spend the night Saturday. Pulled out my old home-burned DVD of the older Disney Scary Tales VHS — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scary_Tales
This withered old heart was warmed and tickled when they got up to enact "The Skeleton Dance" along with the onscreen bony boys. Awwww…
There is nothing like Grandchildren! I know how you feel Mark, my 14 year old granddaughter is the jewel of my life too! oh to be able to keep them young, innocent and full of unconditional love! enjoy the hell out of them Mark as long as you can, they are what keeps us young in heart and reminds us of what it was like when we were there age! The sucky part of this life is we forget what it was like to be a kid, but when we have grand kids we get to remember those times again, at lest for awhile and I miss them.

Dark Shadows!! A blast from the past!! I’ve been thinking about buying and watching that show again, I have not seen it since it was on TV years ago! what do you think Gentlemen?
Scott
Sears, I have been surprised that they are still around, so behind the times. Of, course, the Wish Book was always a thrill to see every Christmas when I was way younger.
Scott, with photon torpedoes and ex-wife, very bad explosive combination. Oh, no! Exploded too close to the Neutral Zone!

Yeah I used to do the same thing AZ! Okay with your kind input I’ll pick it up and watch it…thanks 🙂
I saw about the first half hour of that movie and turned the channel…Tim Burton should have been shot for that movie.
My Grandmother used to get the catalog and my brothers and I would love to look through it! man your right, that sure brings back memory’s!!

SEARS: I remember two taglines from commercials:
"Sears Has Everything."
"Sears, Where America Shops."
No longer. So long to the oil changes at the Auto Center and the kids’ clothes, the boots I am now wearing at work, the Easter dresses for the girls.

Hi Olaf! Good to see and hear from you:) hope everything is fine with you? let us know old friend. I’m doing a lot better and back in the game.
Scott
Halloween is almost here, and in the words of Garfield the cat….CANDY, CANDY, CANDY…..and watch out for Werewolves, since it is full moon time, and carry some wooden stakes…no, no, stakes, not steaks….and hammer, for the vampires. No worry about zombies, they are slow, just don’t trip, or you will be brainless.
Visit the families on Halloween…The Addams Family, and The Munsters.
FRIEND … GOOD!
DVD/Blu-Ray’s help us to find the bloopers we missed on TV, that and watching them more than once.
One thing I enjoyed as a kid at Halloween, was the all night Shock Theater (insert name used in your area) of monster movies. Now it is DVDs and I create the playlist.

We used to have those shown in the city I live in, but not anymore! To much gang violence and to many buttheads. I hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween last night!
The old Universal Monster Movies were the best! just clean fun and as a kid scared the crap out of me LOL
I understand there is a online petition wanting to change Halloween from the 31st. to the last Saturday of October, I think it’s a great idea, not only for the kids but also for the parents.

Me, I love BRIDE for the over-the-top flamboyance, the twisted humor, and Franz Waxman’s stupendous score (quoted ever-after in other Universal serials and movies). "It is my only weakness."
Yours and mine too Mark!
There such great movies, one can not just stop and watch just one…kind of like the old tootsie pops commercial…One…Twooo…Three! That’s what I did last night and now my eyes hurt and I feel hung over LOOOOL
Scott
While I waited patiently, I had THE GIANT CLAW going on the old viddy. So much cheesiness! Actually, if not for the poor fx of the giant antimatter bird, this would be a passable 1950s movie!
Happy November to all!
Mark, I love the cheesie movie, The Giant Claw, bad FX and all. I went after Halloween shopping today, got a pet dragon, test tubes, pumpkin juice bottle and a broomstick.
Now Turkey month, gobble-gobble.
They should leave calendars and clocks alone. Get used to Mother Nature’s sunrise times. All these time changes make it hard for Dracula to set his alarm clock!

Yeah I know! but it would be better for the parents of today and the kids! sometimes change is good. Just had a bad night (sleep apnea) sucks but nothing else I can do about it. AZ I love all those movies, sometimes it can be heard to watch all the ones I love…not enough time in a day or life to watch them all.
Yeah Turkey time and watch the waistlines! and all the pies…Oh man there goes my heart! what a way to go….lol

I agree with the Young Vulcan. I was sleep-deprived after Halloween shenanigans, let the Millennials’ suffer too. Builds Character! Why, I remember the time I came home after Trick-or-Treating, changed costumes, and went out again!

It sure does…build character! My oldest son complains about Halloween (taking his daughter out) and the 2 hours he lost. How the hell did we raise a generation of lazy kids? and now the younger generation wants to get paid (a living wage) and not work for it? I’m to old for all these cry babies!!!
My parents let us go on our own when we hit 11 or 12, of course we were raised with enough fear that if we did anything wrong we know we here dead meat and our parents had every right to bury us in the backyard! The calendar has to be adjusted every now and then same with the clocks. Daylight savings times saves money and energy we use and I know it’s left over from World War II which is left over from World War I but in the end it works….oh well, by the time the next generation takes over I won’t care.

I agree 100 percent Mark! my daughter in-law is a great cook and she makes some of the best food (next to my mom…of course. she [my daughter in-law] has sure helped me get pass the loss of my mom) but when your a kid your mom is the best cook in the world and none of my ex-wife’s could ever cook as good as she did! Make potato salad or macaroni salad like she could!! Man do I miss my mom’s cooking!

Another TOS guy gone, at least his work will go on.
Mark, get a grip, Santa is a good guy. If you get coal for Christmas, it is your fault that you now made it on the naughty list.
Merry Christmas to all here, and a BA! HUMBUG! to the rest.

Thanks, Scott, my friend! I wish you could help, and the pills I got for pain is too weak to help my butt. For my butt,Medicare will NOT cover any meds, what I need is surgery, besides, I don’t want to get hooked on pain drugs. As for my back, getting MRI Thursday, and depending on what it shows, my Brother’s Chiropractor says he might be able to help, but, I am on meds that are helping with the pain, so I can get around better now. Thanks for the offer to talk on phone, just not up to talking now.
It figures Medicare won’t cover it! hell the same thing with me too! Yeah getting hooked on any meds is bad enough! I know several retired law enforcement officers hooked on pain meds with no end in sight and quite a few that have lost there wife’s and even kids because of them.
Keep us in the loop my friend on what the MRI shows, we do care AZ!! We are keeping you in our prayers and send all our good wish’s to you!
I understand AZ but if there is ever anything or you want to just talk about you have my home number!

So, how are y’all doing?
At my regular check-in at the doctor, he said my blood pressure was great. "What, no stress?" he said. I replied I must be too dumb to worry. Which reminded me of a favorite influence from my youth, Alfred E Neuman! He’s got more hair than I do nowadays.
TTFN,
Who, me worry? Not dumb, MAD.
Over Christmas, I bought Harry Potter dolls(not action figures) of Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Dumbledore and I still need McGonagall. All of them are Barbie scale and from the movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PLAYING WITH DOLLS? Plus, wands, and books. They are part of my Wizarding World collection, and next month, Fantastic Beasts:The Crimes of Grindelwald comes to DVD/Bluray, Looking forward to finally seeing it.
So, how are y’all doing?
Well no surgery is good! The less they have to cut into a body the better that is, good to hear your back to walking. Hopefully both doctors visits were in the same building! I’ve had that before but both were on different ends of the city, talk about doing code 3!! I had something like 20 minutes to get to the other doctor’s office and people in this town drive like idiots! Needless to say I made it with about 2 minutes left on the clock and then sit for 25 minutes waiting for them to call me. AZ you can always have your yearly Christmas video watching now! No one is going to say a word (phaser in hand set to stun, pointing it around looking for the first person that opens their mouth he he he) Kong on Skull island! Damn I have not seen that in years!! I don’t know if you heard but Ken Berry passed away the 1st. Of December…sad 🙁 anyway your right it is still a funny show. I watched the first 2 episodes of the new doctor who! Give me the old ones!!! She stinks!! And the music is horrible! For now, I’m done with Doctor Who, I’ll stick with the old ones. Take care of yourself AZ 🙂

Remember AZ, if you have a pain in the butt, it’s OK to BE one! Best wishes for recoveries this year! But I hope the doctor who shot you in the back wasn’t wearing a black hat.

Great news Mark on your blood pressure! On the hair thing I got you beat…a quo ball has more hair than me!

Well, I also missed Halloween videos, too. Can’t sit for too long not because of my pain in my butt, so, when better, I will caught up on backlog or I could wait until I die and haunt someone’s house that has cable.
Sad to hear about Ken Berry. As for the woman Dr. Who, that is so wrong, a man regenerating to a woman….wait, that happens a lot now already, so to speak.
Mark, I find blood pressure problems are caused by getting the news, so give it up, or you will pop.

WOW! Now I feel like an idiot! I got nothing to complain about!! Well don’t die damn it! At lest not yet. Sounds like you need a marathon!! I’ll bring the popcorn and someone else can bring the other essentials and will watch until we either go brain-dead or blind…whichever comes first 🙂
Yeah! You still can’t turn a man into a woman or a woman into a man! One of these days there going to figure out chromosomes can’t be changed and you can’t change the plumbing.
I found out to late about the news cause’s high blood pressure but I did cut back on how much I watch and it has helped!

I made a mistake, the DVD of Fantastic Beasts The Crimes of Grindelwald comes out in March, the digital download is next month. I got another book on the making of the movie, so I am really looking forward to the DVD.

Okay I won’t say it again :p
I hope you have a great time reading it, me I’m in the middle of reading Julius Caesar’s Commentary’s…man, what a head twister! Sometimes I have to re-read the page twice to understand what he is talking about! Old Roman writers sure do not write like authors today, and good thing maps are included and ton of notes (in the book) and a ton more on-line, Glossary, Bibliography, Figure Credits or I would have put this book down and never picked it up again. This edition is advertised as new (2018) and easier to read!! My right *ut!!!
Scott
“Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald” 4K UHD Combo Pack, Blu-ray Combo Pack and DVD Special Edition comes out March 12th. And, this movie will have 2 releases, Feature Film Running Time: 134 minutes and Extended Cut Running Time: 141 minutes. This is the third Harry Potter Extended cut, after Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I have all of the movies with extra feature 2nd disc, but, not the 2 older Harry Potter Extended cut movies.

… As you can see, I’m reading the "Cork O’Conner" novels by William Kent Krueger. Around Christmas I finished rereading THE HOBBIT & the LOTR books for over the dozenth time. Reading is fun!
Kruegar? Is he also known as Freddie? My favorite authors are Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian) and J.K. Rowling.
Oh I agree 100 percent Mark! I do have a few ebooks but need to get a newer ebook reader! Cataracts are starting to set in for me, so in a few more years will have to get it fixed. But real hardcover books are still a big deal for me and the only way to read. Loved Tom Clancy books! History (ancient), Military (all centuries), Presidents (well not all, just the ones that are not knuckleheads) Sci-fi, the list goes on, never could get into western books and of course love novels. For some reason Mark I never know you lived in Oklahoma! My middle brother lived and passed away there! Never could get used to the lakes with red water (red clay) I visited your State several times to see him, he lived about 3 hours away from you in Heavener.

Also, La La Land Records has released the 1st season 2 CD soundtrack, so I am downloading it one track at a time. Also, 4 CD Land of the Giants 50th anniversary soundtrack.
In contrast, the 30 seconds of DISCOVERY I saw made me want to never watch it again. Dark screen, angry voices. Who wants STAR TREK in a coal mine of grumblers?
Discovery, like Enterprise, miss the target of pre-dating TOS, they never learn, so no Discovery for me.
I agree with the both of you! I saw about 30 seconds of that show and have never watched it again either. First Paramount does JJ crap-prise (now canceled…thank God) then CBS puts out STD….what the hell is wrong with these people!! Now I watch fan made Star Trek on YouTube and Orville. Paramount and CBS need to hire these people to do real Trek, especially the ones doing Prelude to Axanar! If you guys have not seen it yet, man you got to! It is great and true Trek alone with some recognizable actors from Trek and BSG! There in the process of doing 2 other parts to continue the Four Year’s War. I highly recomend seeing this!

Agree about Orville. I love it – it has the heart and spirit of Trek. Despite its obvious TNG homage, it feels very TOS to me because it’s open-ended – it’s not dragging 100s of episodes of canon around, it doesn’t take itself too serious and it’s focused on telling an interesting story each week. I watch the first STD ep, and half the second one before I had to turn it off. May be interesting sci-fi, but felt nothing like Trek…
LOL
Disney has differently blown up Star Wars and just about everything else they have touched. It is starting to come back on them, just look at the box office draw they had for Solo and the New Mary Poppins (130 million to make and brought in 169 million) movies today have to double their budget to make a profit. I have heard Disney, brought in George Lucas to help cleanup the mess of the next Star Wars movie to try to get it back to something that resembles Star Wars… Good Luck there! All the main characters are gone now (character either dead or dead in real life) with no new characters worth a damn and the stories suck! Disney is heading down that worn out road.

Anyone that disagrees with me, I will take back Spring and give you Winter, again!
On a sad note, last week my dog died, and she just turned 14 last month. She was with me for 13 1/2 years, I do miss her greatly, my little girl.
I had a cat named Spock (don’t all Star Trek fans have/had a pet named Spock), he was a good cat, except when he followed me on a walk, then I had to carry him back.
I see Scott has visited here lately, just had nothing to say, I guess. Must be a major rework going on, again. that Kirk knows how to damage a ship!
Dogs are always a puppy, no matter how old they are, and you got two fine dogs there, labs.

I’m sorry to hear about your companion AZ! I know how you feel, they are with us almost like kids, and we treat them like our own kids.
Very few films (nowadays) draw’s a person in or is more effects driven then story! Both Kong Skull Island and Orville are so damn good and can’t stop watching them lol
Already watched both and starting Monday I’ll re-watch Orville again 🙂

Sorry about not being around so much, my youngest son and I are starting to re-model the house and boy do we have our work cut out for us! But it is fun and time-consuming. I remember the picture’s you sent to me several years ago AZ and your beloved dog is in them!

AZSneed, Sorry to here about your dog. I have two labs now, one is a puppy (1 year old) and the other is going on 13 years old but still thinks he is a puppy but gets wore out playing with the puppy. He is near the end but doing well with few health issues. We had a sheltie that lived for almost 18 years. He was a rescue and we got him at 6. The last two years he was blind but was able to make his way around the house. Great dog and friend right up to the end.
Sorry for your loss Max!
Dog’s, damn they give unconditional love to us and just ask for a simple pet on the head or just a stroke down their back, and they can tell when we are in a down or in a bad mood and bring us out of it in a few seconds. I miss all the dog’s I have had over the years.

Scott, re-modeling the house, you pick the oddest hobbies. All that I can say is, Qapla’! And, it is good to see you again.
Dogs, friends, cats, the boss. I miss the old pain in the butt, my nickname for her.
I re-watched the 2014 movie, Godzilla, so to get ready for the sequel, Godzilla King of the Monsters, with guest stars, Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah on May 31. And, next year
Godzilla vs. King Kong, with Kong of Skull Island. I like the Godzilla movies, and I also, re-watched the first Godzilla movie, Godzilla vs. Raymond Burr.
Scotty, after fixing the engines, how about fixing the water leak in my cabin, OK?

It’s time to remodel and there being two of us now we want to change a few things 🙂 Like a new TV (70 inch 4k) going on the wall and a new sound surround system and it would not be complete without dual theater recliners, new carpet, paint and new lighting.
Yeah I had my pain in the butt to! I still miss him (KC was his name, a golden retriever) I called him butthead for short, he was like Marmaduke, always triping over his paws or running into things lol
Were 2 of a kind AZ both love watching the old Godzilla movies, they show them on Saturday afternoon on "Comet" TV Station and if not I always have my DVD’s of them…I always got the two of those mixed up! You know which one is Godzilla or Raymond Burr!! 😉
Well ladie if there is that much water I’ll just turn your cabin into the ships pool and give you another cabin…hows that?
Scott
A dog is not a pet, it is a family member. My brother’s dog keeps me busy picking up stuff she is always knocking down, that is why I call her Pest Pest.
As for Godzilla (TM), I have been buying at Wally World, figures from the Japanese movies, and now from the new one coming at the end of the month. I found at Target, Godzilla cartoon series DVDs, the old HB and the 1998 version Godzilla, or as know as Zilla. I also, bought last year, the HB old cartoon of King Kong.
I will keep my cabin, and my pool, just get me a raft to sleep in.

My son and I looked at a projection system but the living room is not big enough for it! 65$? We were shopping in the wrong store! We looked at Best Buy, the projector we saw was almost $2,000.00 (it was 4k) and the others were higher! And that does not include the screen.
Oh! I agree As a kid we had our black lab until I was in my late 20s and when he died it was like losing a brother. I still miss that old fart!, we could never keep him in the backyard, and we even got an angry neighbor came over one day complaining that our dog got his female dog pregnant! We asked him if he wanted child support? He just stomped off lol
Looks like Godzilla is coming back with a Roar once more 🙂 my youngest son collects (movies, action figures…you name it) on Godzilla too! I had no idea that showing them the old Godzilla movies when they were growing up would affect them so much! I just tied to show them what I watched when I was a kid and have fun with them! My 2 younger brothers never liked going to see Godzilla movies with me, guess that’s why my brother below me never had kids and my little brother had 2 girls and I had three sons LOL I remember the old Hanna Barbera cartoons as well my youngest son has them too, and we watch them now and then.
As you wish laddie! Oh! Did I tell ya the captain does like to make some quick turns of the ship so it might get a weee bit bumpy! he he he he

Did you see that La La Land put out a 2 disc set of music from Quinn Martin shows? My favorite theme on the set is, David Shire’s Tales of the Unexpected. Another David Shire soundtrack I love to listen to is, The Hindenburg.

Yes I watched it a few months ago on Comet TV A Great movie! LOL my son was commenting on it when I was watching it…kids sometimes can’t hold their comments until the movie or a break, but I digress, so I told him to wait! Anyway he finely gave me his 2 cents worth and I gave him his change 🙂 I love my cheese too.
I saw someone posted the 2 disc set here but have not got around to downloading it yet, guess it’s a good time now 🙂

Maybe, it was really Godzilla stomping towards Hollywood to complain for making the movie about him, without his permission.
Seriously, hope folks are safe. That footage taken from under the folks’ dining-room table showing the chairs rocking back-and-forth … made me think of Carol Anne in Poltergeist … "They’re Here!"

LOL from what I understand Toho had a rep on the set at all times (unless Godzilla eat him or her he he he) and they had script approval.
Yeah, just fine, from where I live to Ridgecrest is 222 miles, did not feel a thing and did not even know about it until I turned on the TV! What can I say my friends, I live in a valley, surrounded by mountains, if all of southern California and the bay area dropped into the ocean tonight, I would have beach front property by morning! There are some very big mountains for the ocean water to climb over and a lot of land before it reached me.

I saw the same thing on TV, Mark you’re so right! 🙂
The nearest fault line is about 70 miles, and the last time it became active was almost 20 years ago (not a lot of damage here), after that it is the San Andreas fault, which is about 220 miles from me (South/West [the L.A. Area]), the same fault runs up toward San Francisco (North/West of me) 188 miles from where I live, the water would have to climb over the Grapevine Mountian (8,750 feet high) Pacheco Pass (to the North West) is 1,368 feet high and 105 miles away, so beach front property!! surfs up!

A little early, I watched all of The Mummy Legacy Collection that my brother bought me. Still good movies, Boris and Lon.
Finished the remodeling? How do you look now? Wait, it was the house, not you, right?
I saw at Wal-Mart the 1st season of the latest Lost in Space, is it any good? Worth buying?

Thanks, I’m glade I missed it too…
My youngest son bought the whole Universal Monster Collection on Blu-ray (if that’s the one you’re talking about?) a few months ago, and we have yet to enjoy it…(drum roll) because we are still not finished with the remodeling!! (Surprise, Surprise) the walls & ceiling are textured, the main problem is the original floor, it is covered (the whole house, except the kitchen and bathrooms) in a black tile that was made out of asbestos. This being California they have a ton of regulations about it and the cost is in the thousand’s of dollars to have it removed, so we have found an alternative and much cheaper! My son has to do it because of the fumes I can’t be around any of it (I have COPD) and he works so much it is slow going. We have to prime the walls and ceiling (two coats), paint (two coats again), and then use a heavy-duty paint/sealer on the floor tiles, and last but not lest have carpet put in…what a pain in the butt. Eventually we will do the rest of the house, if I live that long LOL
I have the complete Lost In Space Box Set (seasons 1-3) I bought at Walmart for $20.00 dollars! I hope that’s the one you’re talking about, if it is then HELL YES it’s worth it! It has all 83 episodes in one box, fully remastered, plus a ton of special features and the unaired pilot "No Place To Hide" all in wide screen.
Take care old friend! Hope you’re not in too much pain.

Hope all is going well with everyone…

Hi temps in the low 90’s, and rain. So, stay cool, and a vacation on Rura Penthe, not a good idea, unless it is a working vacation.
I had fun today, Dental Surgery to remove a broken tooth. Will be better when I can eat again, tomorrow, and having not much pain. Had to wait 5 months until I could get it removed
when my Brother came home, and it didn’t bother me, as long as I did not eat on the side with bad tooth. Also, insurance DID NOT cover cost. I am changing insurance company.
Hope everyone else is doing well. I know Scotty is about to suffer another shore leave, so another visit to Doctor McCoy!

Yeah, some hobby is right!
With the humidity you get back east it’s gone a be more like the 100’s for you…sucks and today it’s 99 here with clouds which means humidity, looks like we both are going to suffer 🙁
I’m in the same boat with you AZ, got a broken tooth as well, and have to wait for several months to get it fixed too, got to get the okay from my cardiologist before the dentist can do his thing, at lest my insurance covers this and the replacement tooth. My dentist (the last time I saw him) wanted to do total implants on me, I don’t know if I should! Any thoughts?
Yeah I’m doing okay, just trying to stay cool and occupied, which is hard, to damn hot outside, can’t breath in this heat and I am boored spitless…other than that I’m fine LOL
If getting drunk and a room full of women would make the time go by faster I’m all in! but my luck it would kill me and I’d miss my kids, granddaughter and you guys to much…so I’m stuck here! 🙂
Scott
No thoughts on implants, my Brother is working on that to keep his mouth full of teeth, without dentures.
Do stay cool, and to keep from getting bored, watch Star Trek, and other great Sci-Fi, in other words, blow your mind out of this world.
Do keep getting stuck here, we need you, and I need my friend!

Since, this heat wave started that’s what I have been watching. You never answered if you found the complete Lost In Space series? I have watched both series and now working on Netflix "The Crown" just finished season 2 (waiting for season 3) it’s about Queen Elizabeth II from a young age, to her taking over the throng to so far tell the 1960s. My God I had no idea she had no higher education (yeah she went to Eaton College) but she had no classes, she just studied the Constitution of England, that’s it! The shit she had to put up with from her husband (Prince Phillip, the affairs he had), the Prime Ministers (love the parts with Winston Churchill, John Lithgow played him and did a wonderful job) and her mother, sister and all the staff (the ones taking care of her) man what a mess! It’s a miracle the people of England have not gotten rid of the Royal Family…I would have if half of what this show has said is true.
Dentures are something I never want! Way to many horror memories from my grandparents LOL
I’m afraid you are stuck with me and I’m stuck with you 🙂 I’m glad you are not getting the high heat, hope it stays that way. How is your back doing?
Scott
My back is starting to give me trouble again, time for more shots, after my mouth get over the loss of THE Tooth. If the surgeon had given me both halves of the tooth, I could have gotten
double the money from the tooth fairy, now no chance of getting rich. Bummer.

Yes it is worth the buy! I watched the first season on Netflix and bought it as well. I swallowed the half that broke off, while eating one night, so no chance of getting that back LOL
Damn, is there nothing else they can do for your back pain? I mean without some surgery that ends up make matters worse? Take care my friend…Scott
My back is caused by arthritis and I need to lose some weight, I thought I lost enough when I lost my mind.
I have been watching on DVD, the original CSI series, I really like that series.

Okay as long as you send the B9 robot! I’ll get more work out him then Dr. Smith 🙂
Losing weight, what a pain, the only way I lose weight is the push away diet…push away from the table ha ha ha Every time my Doctor tell’s me to lose weight I get pissed, because I know what’s coming, head aches, sleepiness, loss of energy and just plan grumpiness, I am not a good weight loss person!! I only eat twice a day, so to lose weight I only eat dinner…sucks!!!!!!!!!!!! In this heat I can’t walk (which helps me lose weight) can’t hardly breath, I can’t eat fresh fruit (diabetes), so what is left is vegetable diet and all that does is lead me right back to the head aches etc, etc, etc…BS I know I need to lose weight but it is a *hitty road, so I do what I have too, smile and say good things and smile when my kids say how good I look (knowing in the back of mind that one day they well go through the same thing I have to, laughing my butt off because I’ll be dead and done with this life and not have to think about it anymore LOL)
Damn if we were not separated at birth, I watched the first season of CSI (love that show too) a few weeks ago. I’ve got Married with Children (seasons 1 & 2), Sliders (seasons 1 & 2), Warehouse 13 (Have all 5 seasons) to watch.
Take care old friend!

Well we got the floor taken care of (went over the tile with a sealer) the walls, ceiling are painted, next is carpet. After that is repainting the kitchen, front bathroom, hallway, new carpet down the hallway, paint, then all three bedrooms and hall bathroom. I’m tired already! Take care of yourself’s….
Scott
In other words, your project is FLOOR-ishing?? *ba-doom-tish*
BTW about 300 pages into the nexy TATV book and just about to document the transition from STAR TREK Phase II to beginning of STAR TREK: The Motion Picture

Scotty, no wonder you are tired! That is a lot finished, and I know you are happy on how it looks. After you finish, you will have deserved a trip to the Shore Leave Planet, so make sure you go, even if you have to steal the Enterprise.
Today, September 1st is the first day back at Hogwarts School, the Hogwarts Express left at 11 am this morning. Back to school for Harry’s and Ginny’s kids and for Ron’s and Hermione’s kids.
Finally bought today Godzilla-King of the Monsters DVD, and just about to watch it.
Scott, take care of yourself!

Sounds good, Mark. I still would have like to have seen the Phase II series, but, we did get some cool movies.
Yeah, just fine, from where I live to Ridgecrest is 222 miles, did not feel a thing and did not even know about it until I turned on the TV! What can I say my friends, I live in a valley, surrounded by mountains, if all of southern California and the bay area dropped into the ocean tonight, I would have beach front property by morning! There are some very big mountains for the ocean water to climb over and a lot of land before it reached me.

I saw the same thing on TV, Mark you’re so right! 🙂
The nearest fault line is about 70 miles, and the last time it became active was almost 20 years ago (not a lot of damage here), after that it is the San Andreas fault, which is about 220 miles from me (South/West [the L.A. Area]), the same fault runs up toward San Francisco (North/West of me) 188 miles from where I live, the water would have to climb over the Grapevine Mountian (8,750 feet high) Pacheco Pass (to the North West) is 1,368 feet high and 105 miles away, so beach front property!! surfs up!

Yes, I remember having read the news about your Earthquake on Independence Day this year (no fatalities, if I remember correctly). Incidently, just 2 or 3 weeks ago I managed to obtain the BluRay version of the movie "Earthquake" (1974), starring Charlton Heston, and that movie starts with a few minutes of footage from the San Andreas fault, with spoken comments about it’s importance and inherent danger for your people on the West coast, before the action starts (the character played by Heston running down a street). That footage of the fault was very impressive!
BTW, my first name given to me by my parents is…. ANDREAS! (LOL) Hopefully, my namesake will keep sleeping many more years…
I’m a big fan of 70ies disaster movies (including Poseidon Adventure, Towering Inferno, the Airport series, and a few others), and I’m also collecting the scores to these movies (many of them by John Williams and others). Just great scores, all of them, from a time long lost, sadly…
Hope you’re all fine, my friends! 🙂

I too, like 70’s disaster films, having seen them in the theaters, TV and DVD. I remember the "Sensurround" in Earthquake, more rumbling, less tumbling. There was a track on the
cassette of the soundtrack with the Earthquake Sensurround track. As a fan of John Williams music, had to get the disaster soundtracks, like Jaws.
I’m in a coma now, so doing not bad.

LOOOL
Can’t wait to read them, just been so busy with the house and trying not to wear myself out, and failing miserably!

Hello Old Friend! Missed you around here, hope all is well with you? I to love these disaster movies too from the first time seeing them at the theater, I do love the scores as well and have quite a few of them myself. If you need any General Trelane let me know and I’ll send them your way. Since I live almost 4 hours away from L.A. and if it went active I would have beach front property and my house would be worth millions…let it fly 🙂 j/k

Good to hear you okay AZ! The Earthquake soundtrack (CD) I have has the Sensurround quake nose on it to! Would not recommend using headphones when listening to it, because I did, about lose my hearing over it lol Kirk (James) was banned several years ago (not sure if it is still in effect or not) but he used to pock his head in now and then, but I have not seen or heard from him in months now. Good to know that you can still function when in a coma 😉 you never know when I my need someone to clean the plasma conduits out 🙂 Take care my friend…

I have been listening to Halloween specials on Public Radio. One featured Hollywood movies music like, Psycho, Harry Potter, Ghostbusters, and others. Then a show called Snap Judgement that had Ghost stories.
Also, today I got in the mail, La La Land’s 2 CD set of the soundtrack of The Invaders. I so wanted this for so long!
I have not had the chance to watch Halloween movies this year, but, did buy and watched Monster House, the cgi horror movie. I liked it alot!
I hope all are doing good, and that Scotty FINALLY finished the house.
Q: What did the butcher say to me when he sold me the empty hot dog?
A: HAPPY HOLLOW-WEENIE!
…And to all a GOOD fright!

I had no idea La La Land put out the Invaders soundtrack! Way Cool!
Brains can be tasty if seasoned right! loool been watching Dawn of the Dead (really like the remake). Yeah, I finally finished the living room, new paint, new carpet and down the hallway (new paint there too) got the new TV hung up and sound system installed and last but not lest, new drapes. All we have left is the 3 bedrooms and kitchen…well half the kitchen is painted.
NPR around here is junk nothing but leftest crap and lies, don’t even watch the local Public television channels, just the same crap…their loss.
Take care of yourself AZ, good to know your still around 🙂

Scotty, not going to finish by Christmas, I see. I guess the Replicators are down. Keep at it, just don’t over do it!
Since I am an independent, I don’t get bothered by NPR, I just have fun with shows that are not news, but, I do listen to them, too.
Yes, I am still round. 🙂
For The Invaders soundtrack, it is missing the Pilot, because of license issues, but, the music in the episode was temp music mostly from The Outer Limits.
Now, for Star Trek, I took the soundtrack from TAS and recreated the episodes, Beyond the Farthest Star, Yesteryear and More Tribbles,More Trouble, in all music. It was a job to edit together, and I did enjoyed doing them.

I had the Replicator’s working for a few minutes, bloody hell! Sorry about that all of Star Fleet Rations taste like chicken for some reason! I’ll get on it as soon as I can laddie!
It’s been so long since I watched the Invaders, thank the powers that be, MeTV is showing the show again!
I wish you could upload them here, so we could enjoy your work! I’m glad you enjoyed your editing work, I did not know you were a music editor!
Take Care old friend!
Scott
When I do get faster internet, I will upload the TAS stuff.
As for Music Editing, I have been doing it for years, I enjoy it. I use Audacity, and it is free, also, open source. I also, have a paid program/app called DVD Audio Extractor, that I
use to rip DVDs, then edit the tracks. I have ripped movies a TV audio, and made suites of music, with some Sound FX mixed in. I did rips on the first DVD of The Invaders
just to listen to the music, now no need.
There is one soundtrack that is missing, and that is the TV series of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I notice in some episode they used some of Bernard Herrmann’s music
especially the theme to Gort. So, hopefully La La Land still might put it out, like they did with the Star Trek series, Lost in Space, and Land of the Giants.
Scott, you take care, my friend!
