Hey, porc...remember watching this in "4-D" all those years ago? [Smile]

I want a Fuzzball toy to perch on my computer monitor.

Puffy, I love you. [Smile]

(I loved that show so much that I would see it twice each trip, even though they always had the volume so high it gave me a headache.)

How did I miss this? Is that the Borg and their queen?

* I hated the Borg queen. It ruined the Borg. Now I am thinking the writer was just a perverse MJ fan.

If only there was a way to recreate the original show experience.

Including the headache? [Wink]

I pass.

That's the "Supreme Leader" of a Dystopian world known as "The Dark Planet".

Apparently, Captain Eo's musical mojo transforms her into Angelica Huston. [Big Grin]

I meant the "4-D" effects they had in the theater, not the volume. [Wink]

(Also, a bit nostalgic for the days when Michael was "The King of Pop" and not...whatever he is these days.)

Man, I don't remember it being that bad...

I too remember seeing this live. What years did this run in Florida?

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

It came out in 1986.

I -do- remember it being cheesy, so I don't find it "bad" per se.

Posted by Nighthawk (Member # 4176) on :

Maybe "bad" was too strong. Cheesy, indeed.

And,I'm sorry, but I can't look at Mikey seriously, especially as a ship captain. I would have pushed him out an airlock first chance I got.

Posted by Puffy Treat (Member # 7210) on :

I don't think they intended for anyone to take Captain Eo as anything more than a particularly expensive, flashy music video. Hee-hee-hee.

Ok, I'll take those, as long as I don't have to stand in that line. [Wink]

Yeah, a flashy music video directed by Francis Ford Coppola. [Eek!]
