Uh huh.

Oh man, this is like, it's own sub forum. I just saw this in new posts and thought it was a thing you were doing. This makes more sense now.


also I really liked this movie back in the day.

Just Me

I actually saw it on the big screen back when, and loved it. Even then I loved the heck out of Robert Preston's performance, as well as O'Herlihy as Grig. Combined with the plot and the special effects, young me (14 years old) was blown apart.

Rewatched it as soon as it was available on DVD, I still love it.
The effects have aged, a lot.
But Preston, O'Herlihy, the Gunstar and its Death Blossom still captured my heart and took me in.And of course: Beta!
Nostalgia is a bad drug and can blur one's vision, but I'd sign up without thinking to watch that version on the big screen again (though please not much bigger as they were back then in '84 ;) ).
