NOoooooooo! That was a terrible movie then and I don't think you can mystery science theater it to improve it. ;-) -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies

"The Terror of Tiny Town" is in a league all by itself. It has achieved a level of badness that has yet to be matched. ________________________________ From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org> on behalf of Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Sent: Friday, August 30, 2019 8:14 PM To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Jeffrey Brace <jeffrey@vcfed.org> Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] OFF TOPIC movie Is it better or worse than "The Terror of Tiny Town"?

The point was that some time ago there was conversation about "computer" movies and I don't think we mentioned "Runaway", not that it was a bad movie!.Most of the movies at the time that had some sort of "futuristic tech" in it, really were not very good!Except for War Games.My 2 cents On Friday, August 30, 2019, 08:14:31 PM EDT, Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote: Is it better or worse than "The Terror of Tiny Town"?

Oh c'mon. Runaway was right up there with Demon Seed, or Colossus: The Forbin Project Another hidden gem is Hide and Seek (1984), a Canadian TV movie based on Thomas J. Ryan's book "The Adolescence of P-1". Or we could just watch Electric Dreams again :-) Andy On Fri, Aug 30, 2019, 8:51 AM Neil Cherry via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
