Yeah, I could not stand her.  She seemed to get a bit better later on, but
initially, she just played the over-the-top crazy cat lady.  I didn't care
for Michael either.  He was just too whiny for me.  But yeah, it was like a
mish-mash of 80's movies.  Goonies, Super8, Pretty in Pink, E.T., Mazes and
Monsters, Alien, and others.


 AH> I DID appreciate the ham radio reference -- the Heathkit Ham Shack!

I remember Heathkit.  We had a store in town.  I think I bought a crystal
radio there.  I'd 'ride my bike' to it, then afterwards I would detour to
Tower Records to buy some vinyl records.
