Thunderdome was kinda drab (I hope I got that meaning right :-] )

I only have Mad Max on DVD, and Road Warrior.

Funny though, I have nearly all the rest of his most known films.

When We Were Soldiers was really well done, but draws some serious
emotions. Then there's TPOTC.

Brade Runner rules! "ooooooh... he say you brade runner."

At least the LD did. I didn't like the cut they put on DVD as much.

The first season consists of four 2 hour shows, and they must be
viewed first to get the jist of the series (at least number one).

It is a pretty cool story. Watch out for kids though as it has some
bits of breast nudity, and pretty much has an underlying (or
overlying) sexual theme, 'cause the main character was an unfinished
sex slave conversion.

>Farscape indeed is one of the best space dramas made.

Absolutely cool. Didn't the characters (a couple) end up in one of
the Stargate genre seasons?

Cool. When you spawn (what else would it be?), the little warship
does it, it looks pretty cool too.

Pretty hot babe too! I missed her character though as well... true
that.

Uh oh... did I do that? I didn't realize that there were different
virgins... err.... versions... :-]
