Yah its on again, get out the paper plates ....

(bits of text stolen from the valhalender)

APRIL 25 is not only ANZAC day but its also a day for 
25 hours of SCIENCE FICTION !!! 

7:30am 25th to 7:30am 26th (wow 24hours even)
(yah, jump up and down with glee, etc)

at 89 High St, Northcote, (482-2001)

7am	Breakfast (G) In which a barely awake audience feasts on Barbequed
sausages & onions, toast, coffee & cornflakes (yep BBQ'd cornflakes)
"EXCELLENT" says Herald-Sun's Ivan Hutchison. "POISONOUS CRAP" decries
Neil Jillett of The Age.

7:30	SpaceHunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone (M) is the 3D eye
opener (glasses provided). It stars Peter Strauss & Molly Ringwald as 
intergalactic adventures freeing hostage princess from the vicious mutant, 
Overdog.

9:15	The Rocketeer (PG) Yeah well there's this guy, see and he has
this really spiffy hi tech levitation device, see, and oh blast lets
just go for the rocket pack and cruddy special effects.

11:15	Highlander II (M) The sickening/slowing/pathetic one, watch for 
5-10 mins of Sean Connery.

1:00pm	Hardware Wars A great send-up of Star Wars.

1:00+	Forbidden Planet (PG) Most ambitious Sci-Fi film of the 50's has 
space travellers land on a planet where expatriate human Walter Pidgeon, 
has found the biggest wine cellar in the universe, basis of the rock musical.

3:00	Last Voyage of the Starship Enterprise (?) Classic from John
Belushi and Dan Ackroyd on Saturday Night Live.

3:00+	Star Trek 6 (M) The LAST, well look they even killed SPOCK (II),
bring him back to life (III)  and keep on going (IV,V) so who belives that.

5:15	Buckaroo Banzai et al (M) Peter Weller, Jeff Goldblum &
Christopher Lloyd in a frenetic silly account of a Nobel-prize winning 
neurosurgeon, physicist & rock superstar helping to save the world (what
else) This should be at 3:15am for true appreciation.

7:30	Terminator (M) Small budget, big violence.

9:30	Terminator II (M) Bigger budget, bigger violence.

00:00	Inframan (PG) Action-plus story of Chinese Princess Dragon-Man
and her menagerie of silly monsters invading the earth from underneath.
superhero INFRAMAN is quickly invented & unleashed. This film is silly
silly silly.

1:45	Alien (M) Sigorney is eaten by an alien, only kidding.

3:45	Aliens (M) Sigorney makes love to an alien, only kidding.

6:10	This Island Earth (PG) Sigorney is NOT in this.

7:30am	Go HOME ! (please)
