I remember Flesh Gordon as being fairly entertaining, but I think it's been 30 years. I remember you had to be pretty familiar with the serials to catch all the jokes.
This is my boat. They're part of my crew. No one's getting left. Best you get used to that.

I finally watched last night's Eureka. I liked this episode much more than last week's. Although, I still feel that Allyson has two alternate personalities. One where she's all buddy-buddy, let's be confidants with Jack and the other one that's an ice princess. I wish the writer's would either make up their minds where they want her and Carter to go or quit dicking with her characterization. I want consistency, darn it.
I loved that dream with Jo, Stark and Fargo! And the surprise that it was Jo's dream. Hee. And I loved that Jack gave her a pair of toe shoes. What a sweetie.
I'm was hoping for more payoff with the memory wipe by Henry, but I guess I'll have to wait. I'm just going to be curious to see if Jack really believed Henry or if it's going to get him thinking.

Ann, that's a ferret.
There was also a sequel to Flesh Gordon. Pretty people nekkid, adolescent-level sex jokes, and that was about it.

I read a bit about Flesh Gordon and it was originally supposed to be a hardcore film that got trimmed to a softcore when they got some decent effects work out of Dave Allen. If my memory serves correctly, it would have been better if they'd left it hardcore. The effects and sets were pretty good given the non-budget, but everything else was pretty sophmoric humor-wise and the cutting of the actual hardcore smut was jarring if you were watching the movie as a movie simply by the abrupt editing of scenes.

If I remember correctly, there are two versions out there. The hardcore and the softcore both. They would show the hardcore version on campus every now and then.

I vaguely remember it being released as an X and then being recut to get an R, but my memory is VERY hazy on the matter.

All is well that ends in pizza.
From what I have read and heard, oxygenated liquid is easier for us humans than it is for lower animals, because we have the ability to make it past the panic reflex that takes hold when you first breathe it in.
It apparently feels weird to have liquid going in and out of your lungs on purpose.
As for the dreams in the cafe, everyone there got the dreams, a number of the people who are the transmitters were in the room, so all of the transmitters dreams got mixed up in the pot.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'm pretty darn sure I saw a hardcore version of Flesh Gordon. If I didn't, then what the hell was that?

Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?'
I finally got my internet/cable turned back on but I'm now so behind in Doctor Who, Stargate, and some other shows. Can anyone email me where to ahem from?

OK, I just caught the Doctor Who Season 1 episode, Boomtown, and Doc9, Rose, and Captain Jack are so having threesomes. Nobody giggles that much together who hasn't been having tickle fights in the shower.
