This picture of Camille Keaton at a Horror Convention was taken in 2016 three months before she would turn 69 & she doesn't look a day over 60....how does she do it?....she is still hot....I was actually planning on going to one in April that she was attending...it is said that she is great with fans at these conventions & is a really nice person & I was really looking foward to it....but Covid messed that up...the event was cancelled  ....& now that she is in that vulnerable age group....she will probably cancel future appearances  ......damn....I came so close to meeting her  This video clip of Anne Lockhart I think was in 2008 in honor of "Battlestar Galactica's 30th Anniversary...she would have been 55 & like Camille doesn't look all that much older.....these two have taken care of themselves & apparently have stayed away from plastic surgery......because many actresses their age have not aged as gracefully... www.youtube.com/watch?v=tja8qzFyfE0 |

If Disney really wanted to give us good "Star Wars" films with cool villians & strong female heroes they would have given us Darth Malgus & Satele Shan from "Knights of the Old Republic"   what a bunch lazy idiots "Lucasfilm" has.....they know nothing about "Star Wars"....Kathleen Kennedy & her ilk have to be the dumbest people at Disney.....you are handed the biggest franchise ever & yet they knew nothing about the lore....idiots idiots idiots!!!......at least they got "Rogue One" & "The Mandalorian" right & "Solo" was pretty good too....why?....because Gareth Edwards, Jon Favarau & Ron Howard were fans.......unlike Rian(dumb) Johnson & Jar Jar Abrams!

Yeah, that is a pretty good movie. I saw it in the theater opening weekend and also have it on DVD. Hey, didn't they make a sequel to it a few years back? I never saw it but wonder how it compares to the first one? |

View Attachment.. View Attachment.. View AttachmentYep, watched that one quite a few times over the years. Mel Brooks made a lot of great comedies... "Blazing Saddles", "Young Frankenstein", "Silent Movie", "High Anxiety", "Spaceballs", just to name a few. |

The week "Independence Day" opened is the same week me & the ex-wife got married (June 29)......we had lived together three years prior since 1993....I thought I knew her.....oh well.... Don't waste your time with the sequel.....it is bad.....Dr. Okun somehow survived.....how???....almost as bad as "Last Jedi".....no wonder Will Smith passed on it.......oh & since it came out in 2016.....the President in this one is a woman (Sela Ward).....they were so sure Hillary would win... |

If there was to be a closing credit song to my last posted story with the ensemble cast, the "Predator 2" prequel" this would have been the perfect song to roll with the end credits had there been a film version... www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zDOl-j4SqQ |

"V" The Original Miniseries (1983) as well as 1984's "Final Battle" was more of the thinking person's "Independence Day".....with all walks of life taking back their lives from fascism...  ..  ..  |

View Attachment.. View AttachmentOh, Yeah, I have watched that one many times. It seemed to always be playing on Cable TV back in the 80's, so when I was bored and had nothing else to do or watch then I would just watch it again. |

I watched this movie on Netflix a few months ago titled "Lockout" and it is basically a rip-off of "Escape From New York", only set in space on a prison ship in Earth's orbit. It was okay. Made in 2012. But it doesn't even come close to being as good as "EFNY" is. I believe that John Carpenter sued the makers of the movie and won the case. That movie is a perfect reason why no one should attempt to remake "EFNY". Now, I wouldn't mind seeing a new sequel, or even a prequel to Escape if done by the right people. But please Hollywood, just leave the original be. |

If you go to "Wikipedia" it says John Carpenter did sue & won, the director of "Lockout" appealed & lost again & had to pay more....wow.....the five stories I have posted here I have been hesitate to leave on here, I considered putting them on "FanFiction.net" but decided against it because I have been researching copyright issues & for the most part film studios & creators tolerate fan fiction, however there are some that don't like it, I always thought that if you were not trying to make a profit from someone else's creation you were not violating copyright laws, unfortunately it is not that simple, however people on "YouTube" do it everyday, monetizing film clips & fan fiction themselves.....so I don't know...I would think if there was an issue that ProBoards would either remove or ask you Rock or me to remove the five stories, if so that would be OK with me.....not sure what to do on that.... |

Yeah, you just never know in today's climate? But I'm pretty sure that you should be alright. As you said, just as long as you are doing it for fun and not profiting from it in anyway then it shouldn't be an issue. |

If anything they would ask you or me to remove the stories which l would gladly do....if those knuckleheads in Hollywood would stop destroying Iconic characters there would be no fan fiction.....why is it so hard to honor Iconic characters? .....these idiots in Hollywood will argue that different generations like different things....not true....people like good stories that pull them in they don’t care what year it came out....l don’t know why that is so hard to figure out.....”Star Wars” is a good example of that....l work with some younger folks who think the 1977 film is better than what Disney has done but yet Disney thought they could do it better with the “Force Awakens” which they failed to do.....they just didn’t get it......like every other remake....they always think they can do it better & they always fail.....sure there has been a few good remakes but most are just downright terrible. |

Rowdy Roddy Piper was one of my wife's favorite wrestlers. She used to have a big crush on him. She and her dad were both huge wrestling fans in the 80's. We all even went together to one of the WWF events here in downtown Detroit many years ago and saw all of the biggest wrestling stars at the time live. |

I attended one live event back in 1992, this was six months before "RAW" made its debut, I got there at 4p.m. & didn't leave til midnight.....they did three weekend shows & countdown to "Summerslam"....to say I got my money's worth would an understatement.
