Evils Of The Night - 1985 - 4/10

As with Corman’s Not Of This Earth, there was a breakdown in intelligence.
Aliens land near a small college town and taken over an empty (??) hospital.
They seek human blood platelets to rejuvenate their dying species.
Kidnapped donors must be between 16-24 years old.
Whereupon the extraterrestrials gasp, “So few students! What is this summer vacation thing?”
Not to worry, a nearby lake is packed with swimsuit twenty-somethings, drinking and doing pokey-pokey.
Stupid drive-in flick, piss poor dialogue, comatose plot, directed by a zombie.
Nonetheless, where else will you find Julie Newmar, John Carradine, Tina Louise, Neville Brand in one film?

I misread this as Elvis of the Night. There’s a film I would check out.

The Prequel Radical Redux Ideas Thread
Time

AI has undeniable ethical considerations. I think it’s acceptable to voice those but if it’s just voicing the genuine issues it could be pointless after a while. Every fan editor is manipulating trademarked and copyright intellectual and artistic content. Using aftereffects or Photoshop can avoid data centre use but it’s still using energy that is ultimately contributing to climate change. Suggesting alternative methods of achieving the same goals would be more creative and in the spirit of these forums.

Doctor Who
Time

If the BBC gets to keep the console room set post Disney I would like to do something a bit experimental. Take the idea of the Pertwee years and use it to reset the Doctor Who universe. Currently contemporary stories are set in a world where giant spaceships are a frequent fixture in the sky over mostly London looking like Cardiff. I would stick the UNIT family on the TARDIS maybe with the Master and have them undo the TCE collapse, the Time War and the Flux. By visiting fracture points in the universe and resetting things. This ties back to the original mission statement document for the show by Sidney Newman. He wanted the TARDIS crew to be trouble shooters fixing disrupted history. Like Quantum Leap but with multiple characters. We have had the Doctors travel with single or a few companions for decades but the Pertwee era had an extended cast of returning characters like Benton and the Brig. At the very end of the era the TARDIS crew would remember the post Flux universe but Logopolis, Traken, Gallifrey, Skaro etc would all be back to how they were in the 1970s Only UNIT would know about and would cover up aliens and the Doctor would go back to exploring time and space in a new/old universe. He would probably never go back to Gallifrey either. It’s more conspicuous when absent but not very interesting when present.

STAR WARS: EP VI -RETURN OF THE JEDI &quot;REVISITED EDITION&quot;<strong>ADYWAN</strong> - ** PRODUCTION HAS NOW RESTARTED **
Time

In regards to the donation claw back a friend of mine exhibits in an art gallery up here and they had issues when a patron with strong autism had attempted to donate £6 million via their ATM donation machine and had to give it back when his carer uncovered what he had done. There was no malice involved just a medical situation. Maybe something similar happened. I still can’t donate with PayPal.

STAR WARS: EP IV 2004 <strong>REVISITED</strong> ADYWAN *<em>1080p HD VERSION NOW IN PRODUCTION</em>
Time

I quite like that he is angry at the rebels at the beginning and menacing to the Imperials. He sees the Rebels as traitors (and like the person he is trying not to be). I would have made him a bit more shouty at times in the other films but he doesn’t interact with Rebels directly in the other films. He is certainly less talkative in Rogue One. He does yell at his underlings during the Obi-Wan series. It is a great effect though. Is there another way I can get a donation to you? I’ve given up on PayPal. It will not cooperate.

I'm Doing It for Charity.

My pal Roman Hudson has had the cheek, nerve, gall, audacity and gumption (misfortune)to get ill with cancer in a country without universal health care. As you can imagine it’s pretty expensive. If you have even a really small amount to spare. It all adds up. Should you be able to donate roll back the gofundme tip so as much of your money goes towards Roman’s treatment. https://gofund.me/db9cf23a7
