No marionettes this time -- although I have to admit, I do have "Thunderbirds Are GO" (1966), done so excellently, with miniature models and puppets. “Thunderbirds” (2004), with Ben Kingsley as the villan.

Was planning on reviewing it when I returned to broadband land. Silent Running was one of my favorite flicks in my younger years. I could use some little robot assistants right about now. Gattaca I've seen several times. Serenity was a great wrap-up to Firefly. Haven't seen the last two. With all that has gone on this month.

Silent Running was one of my favorite flicks in my younger years. I could use some little robot assistants right about now.

Gattaca I’ve seen several times.

Serenity was a great wrap-up to Firefly.

Haven’t seen the last two.

Then it drops those damn spikeballs everywhere. It looks like a giant burr, something that would only work on an animal that was hairy and very large.

The other 5 are all quite good. As for ER's additions, I Googled them and I don't think I have seen either. Existenz streams on Netflix so I will probably watch it this week. The Thirteenth Floor sounds either depressing or ambiguous, I don't care for either. I might not get around to that one Fountain, which was a huge disappointment to me.
