Like you PK - Ive seen bits of Apocalypse Now and I have no desire to see the rest of it... but maybe I should make the effort. Blade Runner I saw in about 1984 so my memories of it are a bit hazy... Alien - excellent film, ahead of its time - still has the ability to scare the off me! Looks like Ratatouille might be going on my To watch list along with the beanfield one (which I've never heard of!)

There are so many director's cuts of it now that I have lost count. But I prefer - rather against the fashion - the original cinema version with the voiceover. But in all versions it's such a brilliantly realised future earth, so atmospheric and stylish, yet seedy and kinda bleak. And it always makes me (when Batty 'dies') even though I've seen it a gazillion times.

I've seen Blade runner but it's been along time, it's an open ending if I remember right.
As for the bean movie ( that comment cracked me up) Redford makes beautiful movies.
Alien(s) is definitely in my top five SI FI films. Except the last one. As for sexual content maybe I need to re-watch it?
Apocalypse Now is great film, but really scary in it's own way when you think about how power can corrupt and how we each can rationalized irrational behavior.
I need to see the rat movie, but I heard good things about it.

Rosie posted this; I just moved it for her. kimrae over at MTS found this interview with James from the Elf Fair - check out the original for the pictures
Three geeks on a bench!
I stuck it through the Google translator and Ive only just stopped laughing at the line "Dit 20 minuten durend interview met deze intelligente duizendpoot was inspirerend en verrassend" which translated as
"This 20-minute interview with this intelligent centipede was inspiring and surprising."
Full script-
FOK! Cherry Phedre77 and Nebo areas during the Elf Fantasy Fair down on a park bench with actor James Marsters and Jack, the man who gave shape to the blond vampire Spike from the immensely popular series Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. We talked about action figures, violence, men and boys and Abu Ghraib. In my FOK! Colleague Nebo was no bell ringing with the name James Marsters, as he is just too young to have followed Buffy. But he knows the Dragonball cartoons, which is a film made with Marsters in the role of Lord Piccolo. At the start of this fun interview Mr exchanged experiences. Marsters on Piccolo: "Man, I have that role be played six years with an action figure. I had them all, really." I almost ended the interview prematurely with a convenient exclamation: "Three geeks on a bench!"
Lorne In preparing this interview I discovered that Andy Hallett last month is deceased. Hallett played the green demon Lorne singing in the series Angel, a spin-off of Buffy. He died of a heart condition where he has five years of suffering. Marsters expressed admiration on Hallett gentle character: "It is easy to be nice if everything goes well and you have yourself, but if someone has constant pain, you discover if someone is, what the British call 'bottom' . The make-up for Andy Angel was incredibly painful for him. His eyes could not handle the contact lenses and they were almost non-stop the tears. He was almost blind all the time. Between scenes he was sitting with his head in his hands, his eyelids gently away to his lenses for something to relieve the pain. But he was always so friendly. I have sometimes wondered if I could, every day twelve hours long in proper pain , and me so patiently borne. I do not know if I could have been. He was a good man. "
Hate and love Marsters career is characterized by one major role: Spike. I asked him whether he loved or hated Spike. "Are you kidding? I love Spike!" He replied. "See, the way I think about acting: it is not creating a mask, it is precisely in order that you turn a mask off and show yourself to the public in a way you might not even let to see your friends. Spike was, like all other roles, an opportunity for myself to discover properties of myself recognize that I probably did not want to see a sense of humor to which I did not know it existed. I can not say that I hate Spike, because I would therefore say that I would loathe myself. And I think my best ok. "
Good vs. bad Marsters regularly plays the role of 'bad guy', but he turns out well from the feet to. It is not bored, because the roles are very different. He has played just two heroes, Buzz Aldrin in Moon Shot and a convicted cowboy who saves the town from an alien invasion. Marsters find it tiring, "You're always running around and sweating, panting. You always doubt and disgusted much of yourself, it's an enormously painful thing! But if you're bad, you're just in a corner waiting for the hero is racing along and give you a big right and then you can go home. Seriously though, the bad is so much easier. "
Piccolo Dragon Ball Evolution is just in Dutch cinemas. Marsters talk about the film with a dedication and knowledge that demonstrate that he not only read the script. He is unrecognizable as the green Piccolo, a character that intrigues him. Marsters: "Piccolo is no difficulty for people to let him be, because that interests him. But he'll never lose weight. He lives according to his own morality, he has developed thousands of years ago. He is a jerk, but he will always do good. He's just a funny guy. That's the great thing about Dragon Ball. There are no good or bad people. There are just people who create or destroy. "
Theater Marsters also produces and directs plays. He has his own small company, which he gives himself the freedom those documents to carry out his appeal. He has ideas for and cinema, but is still the funding for them to get around. He refuses to reveal his plans, but know with a vague but enthusiastic stories to arouse our curiosity. Unfortunately we do not even hint. However, it brings us in more serious moods. Marsters calls himself a revolutionary artist, who believes that certain things must be destroyed, such as: "the idea that you can buy happiness and the idea that old people do not matter. I have been part of revolutionary things. When I heard that homophobic criticism came Torchwood, I just thought: 'I want this show! ". Now we create the right people angry."
Issues Marsters once before in the Netherlands, for a performance with his band Ghost of the Robot in Amsterdam. That was just in time that Abu Ghraib happened. Marsters calls it a difficult time as an American to walk around. He is the Elf Fantasy Fair great. Fantasy play it the role of the jester from previous centuries. It gives people the opportunity to make things easy. Fantasy can be difficult subjects to discuss an airy way, simply by adding just a different color to indicate. In Dragon Ball, all races together and nobody looks at love. The violence in the film is a valuable lesson for children. His vision of violence: "There are men and boys. Men are peacemakers. They come in action when necessary, but only then. Guys create chaos in order to prove himself. Children should know that they can defend themselves if necessary is.
Music Marsters' manager is a strict man and he broke us off exactly at minute 20:00. I was just a minute to talk about his music, but promised in any case his last CD called Time Machine. (huh??)
This 20-minute interview with this intelligent centipede was inspiring and surprising. It showed a man to see who dares to open and sure of himself. He will discuss difficult issues without hesitation and with insight. With a renewed respect for the teen idol we looked at how he posed for our professional photographer and then place on the same bench, for another interview of twenty minutes.
