.........It's been a parsec's walk since I last viewed that movie.
(( for the uninitiated, a Parsec is a measure of distance, equal to 3 light years [ source: the Lensman series by E.E. "Doc" Smith ] ))
I guess it's about time to watch it again.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

Here's another E.E. Smith fan. Just finished re-reading the Lensman and the Skylark series. Fun books to read.

The first I heard of the Lensman was the comic books
I built the model (Japenese Issue) of that long blue ship..
Not a bad comic book (and movies)...
And I looked and they are on youtube too!!!!

Thanks for the tip, Mikey. I had no idea there were movies.

Did any of us qualify for second stage lensman?

I barely qualify as a Zabriskan Fontema (if I recall correctly).

Boy and I thought my Galaxy Quest post took this thread on a wayward journey, but this beats even that.
Lensman, I thought that was a photographer's assistant. :?
Zabriskan Fontema, I thought that was what they used to smooth out ice hockey rinks. :oops:
and Doc Smith, wasn't he that guy on the
Gunsmoke TV show???? :o
Now, long blue ships just might fit in here, and could keep this thread on topic.
