I saw it at the theater. When VHS movies came out, it was the first VHS movie I bought. When DVDs came out, it was the first DVD I bought. When Blu-ray came out...
Top 5 of all time.

Socialism is when the Government bails out the banks for billions of dollars; socialism is when Government bails out Auto manufacturers for hundreds of millions of dollars; socialism is when the Government subsidizes oil companies for maintenance and upkeep, allowing them to profit in the billions

I do too. In fact, I wrote a song that you and Wolf might enjoy. Being that I am 61, totally reliant on SSI, Medicaid, and SNAP, I am reluctant to release the song under my name, but I believe the song would go viral. If you would DM me (I would never presume to DM you) I'll send it to you.

That was one of TV's greatest programs. Superior writing. Fantastic characters.

1979 was the year of the overthrow of the Shah of Iran.When Reagan was running for President, he was making backroom deals with the Ayatollah to hold the hostages until after the election, while he criticized Carter for flubbing the hostage crises.And after winning? Iran/Contra affair.Always the GOP

He is trying very hard to get Iran to retaliate against US, which could make him President at War, giving him the power to declare martial law, to stop all elections, and to make unilateral decisions concerning the military. Be afraid.

Can we go back to 1979, when Reagan was running for President? He was making backroom deals with the Ayatollah to hold the hostages until after the election, while he criticized Carter for flubbing the hostage crises. 1979 was the year of the overthrow of the Shah of Iran. Coincidence?

Because Reagan lowered the marginal tax rate from 73% to 28%. Thus began the Trickle Down lie that they still push today. Before that, a man with one job could afford a house, a car, a wife, and 2.5 children. The middle class was decimated by this gift to the wealthy. #TaxTheRich

Getting old is a privilege not granted to everyone. But why does it have to hurt so much?

It could also bring manufacturing back to America, while giving or farmers lucrative crops to grow. It just requires smart investors and brave Senators

Spock will become emotionally available for a season or two, but he will be emotionally devastated by a loss and will begin to be the Spock of pure logic that he became under Captain Kirk

The Hero's journey always ends when he achieves the final conquest, gets the girl and the throne; Herbert goes beyond that to examine what a man with so much power will ultimately become. And the ends never justify the means.

In the corporate world, you get a pink slip; on the Enterprise, you get a red shirt. I've always imagined an actor going to wardrobe and being given a red shirt "Why? Wasn't I good enough?"

For me, it goes:
Fionovar Tapestry
Dune series (not Brian)
Lord of the Rings
Started re-reading (for the 8th or 9th time) this last week, and I'm already in book 3, and it moves me every bit as much as the first time I read it. Kay taps into the emotions and plays them like a harp. Expect tears

I wrote a song in the 80s called "Mr Senator's Wife" about Mrs Gore's crusade to clean up music lyrics: Hello, Mr Senator's wife, I hope I don't offend you, but you have really fucked up my life; I didn't mean to offend you!..maybe I'll sing about SEX! We can't pretend that it's not real!

After I finished Children, I had to wait for God Emperor to be published. I've read all 6, no less than 20 times. Best books I've ever read. Brian's work falls flat.

History is made (WWII, Facism); an imaginative writer writes a science fiction story based on that History; a movie is made; History repeats, based on the movie that was based on the story that was based on the History. And here we are
