-- [ From: David Christenson * EMC.Ver #2.5.3 ] --
I was on a business trip and decided to go to a late movie, and picked
Event Horizon cuz I thought it would be SF. Uh-uh. When I got back to
the motel at midnight, I thought the movie might give me bad dreams.
Wrong again - instead, I dreamed a *positive* version of the film, where
the ship went to another dimension and brought back a more intelligent,
self-actualized crew. That's how bad the flick was - instead of a
nightmare, I had a remake. (Or, there's proof that I could write a
better movie in my sleep.)
Anyway, did anyone notice that, among the crewmembers living out their
personal hells: Sam Neill relived his wife's suicide, Larry Fishburne
relived a leadership crisis decision where he had to let a man die, and
Kathleen Quinlan imagined her young son in danger. All the way to
Neptune, and still on the mommy track, eh?
Not to mention the sexual harassment the other female crewmember had to
endure in the early part of the movie. Not much of a future for women.
BTW, Quinlan will be 43 years old on Nov. 19, according to my references
