    Thanks for the link ST. You have to get their first album!

     

    Order it off the "Warp 11" site- they are alot quicker than Amazon.

    I should point out that it is quite violent, crude, and basically offensive in every way. Lol. Normally, it would be a lot with the f-word being said over 700 times, but with Quentin Tarantino, it seems more... poetic... ? Lol. It has great dialogue. Just not a very... family friendly film.

     

    It's basically a collection of short stories that intertwine with one another at some points. One is about John Travolta taking out Uma Thurman, a criminal boss' wife, to dinner, the next is about a boxer who cheats out the criminal boss and tries to flee town, and the last is about an accidental shooting of a guy by John Travolta and the clean-up.

     

    Don't think it is overly-serious though. It's full of laughs!

    I don't think "Pulp Fiction" is violent, crude, or offensive. (Well- it may be violent) It is a very intelligent and sensitive film, that draws on many different aspects of the cinema. Tarantino knows his motion picture history, so be prepared to get a short course during his movies. His films encompass everyone from Godard and Fellini to Russ Meyer and Shaft.

     

    I don't want to turn this into Tarantino 101- I'll just say he's a smart filmmaker, who knows more about movies than any of ever will.

    I'm glad someone else has seen the greatness of Warp 11. However, I thought "Red Alert" was a huge let down. "Suck My Spock" was much funnier.

     

    Now that Trekkies 2 is about to be released people will be introduced to all the major Trek fan bands that have been around for years. My personal favorite is No Kill I, they were the original Trek Punk. Check out their website at nokilli.com

    I feel I would be remiss in my duties as High Priest to not mention the incredible impact that the band "No Kill I" has had on my Trek experience.

     

    I first saw them in the distant past (1994)- O.J. was still on trial, Clinton hadn't stained any dresses, and America was still loved by Europe.

     

    I spent that summer in Sacramento, CA and was fortunate enough to see No Kill I play a condenmed building in downtown Sac. They were loud, drunk, and obnoxious- just what I look for in a band. The bassist in a Mugato suit and a transvestite playing keyboards were the highlights.

     

    These Outstanding Trek Fans will finally get their much deserved recognition in Trekkies 2.

    Tokar- don't worry about it. If she likes you and you like her than there is no problem. I firmly believe that love knows no categories. If you get along, that's all you need.

    The main problem is exposure.

     

    If UPN would promote the show more we wouldn't have to worry about another fan campaign. They need to put commercials on Spike TV/Sci Fi Channel and get the actors on Leno and Letterman next season. Although, the producers shouldn't rely on it, I think the idea of having Shatner and Wayne Brady guest starring might help give ENT a ratings boost as well.

    I'm glad you made it out of DC in 1 piece. I've driven up there several times for the 4th of July, so I know how crazy it gets (even without cops yelling for you to run!).

     

    I grew up in the Reagan Years so I only remember Iran/Contra and the fall of Communism. (Yeah for the latter, nay for former) Looking back Reagan did some good things and some bad things but overall I think he did what he thought was best- and that says alot about a man. He believed in his cause.

     

    I don't think the Republican Party should be in charge of a toaster oven, much less our government, but Reagan was a good person and I will sincerely miss him.
