Give me your answer do
Almost 4 years ago, we went out to Seattle for some friend's beautiful wedding. With some of our extra time in the city, we made a trip over to the Space Needle... not actually for the Needle, but for its neighbor, the Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame.
They've done a good job representing the villains of science fiction in the museum. Darth Vader. Klingons. Ming the Merciless. They had a special exhibit on the different representations of the Martians from War of the Worlds. They've got a full-size Alien, which is pretty cool. But there was one moment when I turned a corner, and met with evil eye-to-eye. I jumped right out of my skin.
And then Alison pet my hair gently and whispered that it's only a museum.
And I said "I probably work with computers too much."
Happy 17th birthday, HAL.

Cool. For my money, it's these two still make a little pee come out:

stupid internet. I was referring to Maximilian from the Black Hole, and the wacky evil scientist.
What was dad thinking when he took us to see that terrifying movie?
That's the first movie I ever saw on VHS. I don't remember much because I was just so boggled that it was posible to watch (gasp) a movie! In your home! Not on tv! No commercials! Ah how the world has changed.
My question is how did The Black Hole manage to be so boring in places and yet so terrifying in others?
Am I right that we eventually had a bunch of guys from G.I. Joe and Star Wars gang up and kick the snot out of Maximillian?
