Re: Monday, October 8, 2001
Amen, I haven't changed that much. In fact, I've been enjoying my limited library of heroic SF movies. Even though their based upon an outdated, cold war era, SF vocabulary, I find I really enjoy seeing alien butt kicking. Recently ran my DVD of Total Recall (while it was on broadcast) and was reminded how much I'd enjoyed it in the past. Much better than the original story in that it provides a much more believable plot line. The story is of a man who goes into a "we can dream it for you" vendor to have a trip to mars as a secret agent dream embedded in his memory. The process fails when the dream merchants discover that he really did save the the world. The Phillip K. Dick story has a much simpler and simplistic adventure attached. THe movie's adventure is more believable (at least if the hero is Arnold) and thus makes the question of whether the events actually occur more enjoyable. Anyhow, I missed basedball for the week it was away, and wish the news would get back to the usual local murders and fires and such, but since I'm in NYC, that may be too much to ask.
