Can I call you "THE SEEKER"? If not, Who?

They probably wouldn't need any more time after the first month....

Apparently, some episodes are on YouTube, including that one. I'll catch some in October if not sooner. Ok, next show.... This live-action show spawned a cartoon that put the characters into the future... and the cartoon was often mislabeled as being in space instead. (Even as a small child, that bugged me...)

Ok, everything except the title has been posted for a while now. This is Edwyn Collins' "A Girl Like You". FREE POST!

We're talking an indie publication and an indie movie. There's a number in the name (both have the same name.) Why would vampires target victims in Alaska as opposed to, say, equally snowy upper Wisconsin?

There were a lot of giveaway lines to choose from, but I went with the funniest one. My favorite line in the movie was given to Clint Howard in Mission Control. He was the one who said the IRS would get Jack for not filing his extension. If Raf was checking, he'd have gotten it instantly from that-I thought other people would as well. Some people probably would have caught the reference to a possible Apollo 19 and Johnny Cash records. Oh, well. It's your turn.

"Let's work the problem, people. Let's not make things any worse by guessing." "I don't care what anything was designed to do. I care about what it can do. So let's get to work, let's lay it out, okay?" "With all due respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour." "When I go up there on 19, I'm gonna take my entire collection of Johnny Cash along!" "Dad, can I please wear this?" "Sure." "Jim!" "No! No, absolutely not." "Do they know they're not on the air?" "We'll tell them when they get back." " I remember this one time - I'm in a Banshee at night in combat conditions, so there's no running lights on the carrier. It was the Shrangri-La, and we were in the Sea of Japan and my radar had jammed, and my homing signal was gone... because somebody in Japan was actually using the same frequency. And so it was - it was leading me away from where I was supposed to be. And I'm lookin' down at a big, black ocean, so I flip on my map light, and then suddenly: zap. Everything shorts out right there in my cockpit. All my instruments are gone. My lights are gone. And I can't even tell now what my altitude is. I know I'm running out of fuel, so I'm thinking about ditching in the ocean. And I, I look down there, and then in the darkness there's this uh, there's this green trail. It's like a long carpet that's just laid out right beneath me. And it was the algae, right? It was that phosphorescent stuff that gets churned up in the wake of a big ship. And it was - it was - it was leading me home. You know? If my cockpit lights hadn't shorted out, there's no way I'd ever been able to see that. So uh, you, uh, never know... what... what events are to transpire to get you home." " Gentlemen... what are your intentions?" I'd like to go home." "No, Henry! Those people don't put one piece of equipment on my lawn. If they have a problem with that, they can take it up with my husband. He'll be home... on Friday!" "Uh, well, if anyone from the, uh, from the IRS is watching, I... forgot to file my, my, my 1040 return. Um, I meant to do it today, but, uh..." "That's no joke. They'll jump on him!" "Jack, you'll be glad to hear that we've contacted President Nixon, and he's going to grant you an extension on your income taxes, since you are most decidedly out of the country." "Roger that, Houston. That's wonderful news."

How can I say this more clearly? We KNOW you think it's a myth. We disagree. We're aware that it can be framed so as to resemble myths to a remarkable degree. If I was bored enough, I could do that with a lot of events from the news from different time-frames. You already called it "MYTHOLOGY." Some of us disagree. The original poster is asking questions that go in completely the opposite direction than you want to go. Even if you're convinced she's completely wrong, provincial, and under-educated, can't you accept that this is her right? She can choose to pursue questions you consider silly, and avenues of inquiry you think don't even exist. She's not passing judgement on you for discarding what she considers to be deeper truths than the sociological theories of the day can offer. Can you return the favor? And if not, can you at least leave her alone about it and just judge her without hitting 'reply'? It's not like she's pushing vpw worship or anything....

No, I think you've all seen this one at some point. It came out in 1995 and has aired on television quite a bit since then, at least on basic cable (and premium cable.)

I've heard of it online. Perhaps I'll find some episodes of it some time.

Something may be up with my account settings I can't find, but I'll get back to this when I can.

You're going to kick yourself, George. I'm sure you've seen this movie more than once.

It came out in 2007.

It's actually from 1995 (the song.) It was featured in VH1's 100 Greatest One-hit Wonders at #68. On the UK charts, it reached #4 when it first charted.

*wild swing* Boris Karloff's "Thriller"?

This movie is a LOT better-known. And a lot more recent. (But not in theaters now, of course.)

For that one, you'll have to be more current. I thought a comic-book geek might get it fast.

A group of people hide out in a farmhouse in Alaska as their town is overrun both by zombies AND vampires.

"Now just like in a song from days of yore, Here you come a knockin', knockin' at my door." "You give me just a taste so I want more and more. Now my hands are bleeding and my needs are raw. Now you've got me crawlin', crawlin' on the floor." "You've made me acknowledge the devil in me. I hope to God I'm talkin' metaphorically. Hope that I'm talkin' allegorically. Know that I'm talkin' about the way I feel." "This old town's changed so much. Don't feel like I belong. Too many protest singers. Not enough protest songs. And now you've come along. Yes, you've come along." If you saw "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle", this might seem familiar.

"Play it, Sam. Play "As Time Goes By." "

This is obviously the song by the Animaniacs, "Make a Gookie." Here's a sample: Ok, so, my turn now? Let's see, I need a song.....

"Reefer Madness of King George." George (our George) took a film I haven't seen-but is fairly well-known so I know the name- and mixed it with a classic b&w film intended to terrify the US public out of ever trying 'reefer'. From their descriptions, the thing is an awful lot like LSD, only more dangerous. Most of us who've ever heard of it still haven't seen it. I should, because it's unintentional comedy. When my kid is old enough, I'll show it to him so he can practice critiquing propaganda so he's better at recognizing the modern stuff.
