For some reason I never saw those movies... Hmm...

Yeah, I can't even remember what the second one is about, but I've seen
the first one SEVERAL times.

One of my favorites for sure! Along with A Few Good Men... I'd like to
see the stage production of that...

Another one I never got around to watching... Will have to check that out!



... I don't hallucinate anymore, the Thing driving the UFO cured me...
