Maybe our young film students could produce a film on the follies of "Chevy Paxxon". Then again who would believe it.

'ey, Ruger, I don't think I previously noticed you too have been a student of Japanese! How bout that! The interest-in-history part I obviously noticed, but not the language part. Call me Hank, it would be deeply pretentious of me to demand a "sama" from you. (Great filmmakers and their wives chide me if I even refer to them as "sensei," so the less accomplished Rocco would look ridiculous ordering people to call me by a title.) If we were speaking and thinking in Japanese, we might well have come up with different nicknames by now (I like to find nicknames for everybody I pay attention to; my use of "Mr." is sometimes a nickname in itself, since I don't know most of you guys face to face, and it makes it look like I'm being polite, which I'm usually NOT in person, just ask Mr. Hatfield, aka Tigger.)  (that is pronounced Tiggaaahh by the Japanese -- yes, I am deliberately emphasizing the long A which they would use)

I believe ya NOW, Marian ... I was just too lazy to go back and count all of them for sure.NP: CHICKEN RUN (Elmer Bernstein) (I mean John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams, but they're wittily capturing the Bernstein style very well -- not a typical Media Ventures score, this one, and composed by the two most talented, I think, of the MV boys, after Zimmer -- but WHY does it seem to require a minimum of two different people to score a movie these days? They even have separate conductors!)

Speaking of scientology...Has anyone here ever made it--or even tried to make it--through L. Ron Hubbard's "Mission Earth" dekology? I read the first one a while ago and really enjoyed it, but I just can't make the commitment necessary to get through ten books that are each thicker than my arm.

Yeah, I sheepishly admit that I read all ten. It took me a week to get through them and my main memory is that for a satire, there seemed to be very little humor. The good guys are so one dimensional that you kinda root for the bad guys because they are the only ones doing anything interesting.His whole point about a literal interpretation of earth institutions making them ludicrous is made early on beat to death. I can't recommend unless you have nothing else to read.

L. Ron Hubbard was a mediocre sci-fi author who enjoyed his greatest success by creating his very own sci-fi religion!
In an interview with George Lucas about 20 years ago, George mentioned that after the incredible success of Star Wars, Francis Coppola suggested to him that he start his own religion: The Church of The Force! George agreed that it would be very lucrative, but declined.

Certainly the humor in "Mission Earth"--at least in "The Invaders Plan," which is the only book in the series that I've read--is on the dark side, since the character telling the story is a mean-spirited officer who delights in beating money out of his airbus driver, among other things. I have the audio drama of "The Invaders Plan," released by Sound Editions, and it's actually VERY well done.

Darn! You're right, it does. I was thinking there were 20 posts to a page, and It wouldn't show me the updated version of the thread, so I thought...
Ah, well.
Everybody post another 20 or so messages!

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW: WHERE IS SENATOR MARK HATFIELD? After almost a week of wondering where he had disappeared to, I received a call from him today, via Lovely Laura's cell phone. His phone, DSL, web access, etc. were destroyed in his building by some Godzilla cloned driver. He is STILL waiting for the phone company to fix the smashed box. He said to say hi to all of you and to let you know that he hopes he can communicate soon. Look forward to seeing you back on the Board, Senator.NP Rio Conchos

OK, the question that will take this thread to 1,000 posts within two weeks:WHAT DOES CREAM CHEESE NOT GO WITH, THAT ISN'T ALREADY DISGUSTING? Cream cheese just about goes with everything that isn't already disgusting. This is a theory that's been tested again and again, and no one can debunk it. The closest answer has been "cereal" (the kind milk is added to), but cream cheese on cereal just may be tolerable. So, what do you think? PeterK NP - "The Last Run" by Goldsmith

NP -- Doc Hollywood, you know, I bought this used today, and there is some lovely music on it (and some horrendously hokey pop stuff -- shame on you Burwell!). Too bad most of the CD is comrised of 30 second cuts.
