I did not even upgrade Thunderdome to DVD. And I did not even have Mad
Max on VHS.
Also I rewatch Hudson Hawke now and then. And Bladerunner.

I have not seen Lexx - I will have to get it when I get back with
Netflix.
Farscape indeed is one of the best space dramas made. I use the
starburst scene as my opening clip for my DVD-based movie clip
compilation. I got the part in the engine room and the full turnaround
shot where Moya becomes more and more electrified.

But even with her absence the series was spectacular in scope.

I never paid much attention to him other than the role he played. I
have seen the two other versions and they do not come close to Lynch's
work. And then Brian Eno's haunting music must be mentioned.

Our revels now are ended. These are actors as I foretold
you were all spirits and are melted into air, into thin air,
and like the baseless fabric of this vision, the cloud-capped
towers, the gorgeous palaces, the solemn temples, the great
globe itself, yea, and all that it inherits, has dissolved,
and like this insubstantial pageant faded, leaves not a rack
behind. We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little
life is rounded with a sleep.
