WHAT'S IN YOUR WALLET?
(I'm feeling my way around)
Where the Hell have I been? I have no idea. I haven't been posting anything for a while. Got no specific reason for that. I just haven't. I've got some big things in the works, but for now I guess I've just been laying low.
I just finished watching the first part of the Andromeda Strain on A&E, which is a two part mini series based on the book by Michael Crichton who you may remember as being the Author of such books as Jurassic Park (as well as writing the screenplay) Sphere, Timeline, and being executive producer of E.R. Oh, he also wrote Eaters of the Dead, which was the inspiration for the 13th Warrior, which is where my screenname came from... hehe...
Well, on to Andromeda Strain... Some of you may remember that this book was adapted to film once before, back in the 70's (the original film was directed by Crichton himself) The new version, produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, stays pretty close to the original, though it seems to happen on a larger scale. Anyway, here's the premis:
A gov't satellite crashes down outside a small Utah town. When two kids discover the satellite and drag it back to town, the inhabitants of the town immediately start falling over dead from some unknown biological agent. A specialized group is then sent in to discover the source of the outbreak and try to stop it before it spreads....
Sounds dramatic, huh? Well so far it's very good and I definitely recommend it. The second part is on tomorrow at 9 PM EST and I'm sure it will be repeated over the next week. Check it out!
