Friend of the channel and @CRN reporter. Loves writing in English, speaking in Mandarin Chinese, and swearing unintelligibly when losing a wargame.
Maybe the U.S. should buy Iceland instead of Greenland so we get those nice auroras.

Watch Babylon 5 again, and look at how Earth Dome gradually slides into authoritarianism similar to how a certain North American government is doing today.

Then there's The Crawling Hand which scared the willies out of the tiny kid I once was.

Still trying to find where I can watch The Monolith Monsters. Saw it well over 50 years ago on our 13" B/W TV. A rock from outer space falls to earth, and with water grows into a tower which falls, breaking into multiple pieces that fall and grow. Spoofed by old SNL which substituted mutant shrimp.

I'm an old man. I still do everything "by the book."

Just this year I finally found Kronos, a late '50s science fiction about a robot that landed in Mexico and started a northward path of destruction. Thank you, YouTube! I previously saw it about 50 years ago on TV. I remember how scary were the hollow legs that caught the random panicked folks.

The book was much better. Interestingly, the author was L. Ron Hubbard, founder of Dianetics.

Good Heavens, you wanna turn a sentence in the manual to an extra two pages!

Does this mean we have to throw out the DMV driving manuals that tell us to put our hands at the 2:00 and 10:00 position?

And what do we poor one-handed drivers do?

Dang! A bad science fiction film I haven't seen.

Gotta go find it now. Love the genre.

Still looking for something to beat Plan 9 From Outer Space and Robot Monster.

Ballrooms are easier to handle than insurance. Plus you can't put gold plate on insurance.

Maybe the U.S. should consider buying Iceland instead of Greenland. Then we could get the cool colors.
