Latest Tele-Addiction

" The Invaders: alien beings from a dying planet. Their destination: the Earth. Their purpose: to make it *their* world. David Vincent has seen them. For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut that he never found. It began with a closed deserted diner, and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey. It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy. Now, David Vincent knows that the Invaders are here, that they have taken human form. Somehow, he must convince a disbelieving world, that the nightmare has already begun... "


  • I would have never thought that I, miss Anti-SciFi anything, would love the famous alien show of the 60s. Sci-Fi and horror are definitely at the bottom of the list of my favorite genres in both movies and television. Thanks to my dad and a family friend, I started watching it, not really thinking I'd like it so much. Boy, was I wrong. I think it's one of the best classic television shows I've ever watched. It's too bad it was only on the air for two seasons...really too bad. I've watched all but the last episode, which I'll watch tonight. A sad day it is. No more aliens burning up, no more civilians dying of cerebal hemorrhage due to that round, colorful gadget; no more brainwashing with the swirling crystal thingy, and worst of all, no more David Vincent. Yes, it'll be a very sad day for me.

Writer's Block: Favorite Movie as a Child




  • In my house growing up, I and my four older siblings pretty much only watched old movies. We all still love them to do this day, me being the biggest fan of them. There were certainly a select few it seemed we watched ALL the time, such as; Murder, He Says, Moby Dick (this one being my brother's personal favorite), The Moonspinners. We also watched a lot of Jerry Lewis & Dean Martin movies, those especially delighted me personally. Thinking it over carefully, I would have to say it was one of the ever-so-cute Jerry & Dean movies that would be my number #1, it's Money From Home hands down. Now that I'm older and seen countless other classic films, I can't say that it would be my favorite movie of all-time, but favorite of my childhood? Most definitely, yes. I had this secret, mental love affair with Dean Martin going on when I was a kid, I thought he was the most dreamy guy on the face of the earth pretty much. In fact, to this day, I'm still in love with him! He's my favorite oldie singer and always will be. Another thing about Money From Home being my favorite is inevitable, the plot involves horse racing. Being a huge horse lover, there's no way any other Jerry & Dean movie could be my favorite but Money From Home.I love it and, it'll always be my number #1 childhood movie.
