Quote from: Dr. Whom on January 13, 2026, 04:25:05 PMA fraud and con man, I know. But my parents had Chariots of the Gods, and I came across it at an impressionable age. This was instrumental in sparking a life long fascination with the bizarre and the unexplained.
So, RIP from twelve year old me.

Me too. I read Chariots of The Gods and Charles Berlitz's The Bermuda Triangle when I was very young: Dad went with me to the library to ask the people "Why are you letting my son read this crap?" which is what he thought about the books, not me.

RIP.

Quote from: Rev. Powell on January 13, 2026, 01:08:29 PMIt's impossible to buy a new PC in America with a DVD player in it. You have to buy a separate accessory and plug it in via USB. Sad!

Progress robbed us of a heck of a lot.

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2

Footprints on the Moon (1975) aka Primal Impulse - Random late night choice and I really enjoyed this one. It's not perfect and the lead actress isn't all that pretty, but it has some decent Twilight Zone vibes and nifty Italian scenery.

A woman who works as a translator at some UN/ academic type scenario is haunted by a movie she saw decades earlier about an astronaut who dies on the moon. One day, very weird stuff starts happening and she ends up at a seemingly not very popular island resort somewhere off the coast of Italy. Fincher type shenanigans abound as people swear they saw her on the beach on Tuesday but she wasn't there on Tuesday OR WAS SHE?

This reminds me of something they would show at The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, mainly for it's cinematography and all the Italian architecture than for it's story, but I liked the story. I watched it in one night and would watch it again. The lead actress is, again, not that pretty but she's well cast and does the nervously figuring everything out bit satisfactorily. It was a massive hit in Italy, but people would probably expect sharper explanations/ plot points and so forth today.

Bought it from www.bobshop.co.za our version of eBay.

Cost me ZAR700 ($42) and it seems OK, even has this thing called a DVD player in it.

The Bobshop seller even downloaded a copy of Ninja Lingerie Grannies for me onto the harddrive so 😳😳😉🐢
