     Has anyone seen anything on the new B:E movie yet? I haven't, but I get
     the

     strange impression that it's going to be a slagfest of crap. I don't
     know

     why... just one of those feelings.

     Then again, I haven't seen LEXX yet either, but just from the show

     descriptions it sounds like drek.

         Don't waste your money. The movie made the book look great. We
         almost walked

         out during the first 15 minutes. The movie was slighty better then
         "Battle

         Beyond the Stars". To be blunt, it was like "Planet of the Apes"
         meets a

         live action version of "GI Joe". This poor excuse of a movie made
         WaterWorld

         look like gold.

         If you wait a few weeks, it'll probably go directly into the
         BlockBuster

         $5.99 bargin bin. I'm glad we saw it during the matinee.
