I might have to call in today.
that'll mean three days off.
that means someone's gonna be pissed.

THE LAST STARFIGHTER was an awesome movie, at the time in which it was made, and the age at which I did view it. I hinted upon this at one time, maybe movies themselves arent getting worse in-as-much as our age is getting to the point to where we've seen almost all sorts of movies there is to be seen, and the only reason why other people dont pick up on it is because they're always stoned out of their fucking minds and cant remember anything unless some drug or another was mentioned : ( cheech & chong, high times, home grown )

We'll say at least the movie did not fall into as much predictablitiy as the quirky movies of whatever-that-guy's name was who did such horrible movies as THE BREAKFAST CLUB and SIXTEEN CANDLES --- which neither, by the way, " hold a candle " to THE LAST STARFIGHTER. The plot itself, or at least the idea, danced around something like Star Wars, but didnt entirely rip it off. Unlike most space films where it would be just Star Wars with a different name.

Let us not forget the computer generated effects, wherein they are surrounded and just about are going to get their asses'ah whooped, they PUSH THE RED BUTTON - which basically was a suicide button - using all energy to beat ass. The effects used in this scene were PHENOMINAL - ASTOUNDING. And not only that, but it gave hope to all of us pre-gamers who spent our lives on video arcade games, at arcades and at home. A sense of " YOU'LL BE NEEDED ONE DAY FOR YOUR EGG SALAD SKILLS OF SUPER GREATNESS AND HAND EYE COORDINATION TO FIGHT EVILE BADDIES FROM UNIVARCE NUMBER X!!!!!!! " - sadly, I never got flown away to a distant place to whoop some ass with a suicide button. But each time I played Star Wars Fighter ( THe original arcade game, fun fun fun, and only 25 cents ) I was always waiting for my space ship to come by and take me away from this human-infested shit hole known as Earth! *big smiles*.

thats for that.
and one last thing,
did anyone notice how much " jeffs brother " looked vaguely familiar?
almost as if it were jeff himself, taking an obvious picture that had leaked from his boy-toy training for the young school and pschiactric center, and passed it off being his brother. Hmmm. Maybe someone cloned the wronge man ... again ( ? )
