Funny! I need to get one of those cutouts...
ReplyDeleteHere's something equally bizarre thanks to falling down a youtube video hole. The rise of James Cameron thanks to his work on "Galaxy of Terror," or "Aliens" before there was even an "Aliens," and the crooked bookkeeping by Hollywood which led to him actually directing "Aliens, and that Erin Moran got her near-nude part in this cinematic classic due to Ron Howard also working for Cameron's boss, Roger Corman. Of course, my favorite Corman film of this period also featured James Cameron's work as well as that of Richard Thomas (John-Boy Walton) in the "Star Wars" ripoff, Battle Beyond the Stars with music by one James Horner. This is also the film where Cameron met a young carpenter/painter named Bill Paxton and his future bride/producer, Gale Anne Hurd. At least this historic trek into the past only ate up less than 30 minutes of my ever-shortening life, but now I have to watch the precursor to "Aliens," "Galaxy of Terror." Damn you, James Cameron and Roger Corman for hiring him in the first place.
ReplyDeleteDaejeon John,
ReplyDeleteI've actually seen "Battle Beyond the Stars." It's a "Star Wars" ripoff, for sure, but it's also modeled on "The Magnificent Seven" and even stars Robert Vaughn. Go figure.
Never saw "Galaxy of Terror," though.
I don't know if you've seen the previews yet, but this may be way better than the original, sequel series. Now, how would one go about labeling it though after all the films and subsequent series and alternative dimension films?
