Harlan Ellison wrote the original book IIRC of unconnected stories, though the movie makers concentrated on the one character.

Re: Need Some Assistance Locating Post-Apocalypse Movie
Though when you (O.P.) said little food, my first thought was "A Boy and His Dog" with a very young Don Johnson, hilarious in its own right, the survivors thought nothing of cannibalism. The Ending, the first time I saw it, couldn't stop laughing until the end of the credits and only a han...

Re: Earth gets drawn into an alien conflict (RAR!)
Basically, there is NO scenario under which it makes sense for us to agree to this unthinkingly or uncritically, " I myself wasn't saying to do so either, for if we accept the role they want us in, as aux/reserve soldiers, humans, converted or not, should expect to be dealing with hostile popu...

Re: Earth gets drawn into an alien conflict (RAR!)
@Tribble I may have misunderstood the O.P. myself, for a moment "Mostly said forces would be used in occupation of captured planets and supporting Nirtalm Marines as auxiliaries. As a general rule they'll figure that having one in 216 people in a protectorate country serving as auxiliaries is a...

The Nirtalm 'tour of duty' is twelve years, as in the O.P. , that's why I set up my last post as "surviving two tours of duty" .

Re: Earth gets drawn into an alien conflict (RAR!)
I don't see anywhere in Zor's scenario in which humanity is forced to convert into space cats. Yes, by siding with them Earth will have to have these clinics but the conversion itself is voluntary. I'm wondering the reason for this is either they are 1) specist(sp?), 2) their population levels are ...

Re: Your opinions: Minimum phaser setting to affect a stormtrooper?
*ahem* I wasn't being serious, having a laugh, in general, of the whole thread.
Don't like the animation of RC, any more than I like the crude animation of South Park.
Not a fan of either.
Typical, I prefer Rob Dalton as a moderator, he's more balanced than the rest.

Bits, here and there, sorry no spoilers!
Though at the time I was concentrating more on comparing 720p .mp4 to the .mkv version
and the action, I'll leave the details up to others.
