Looks like the sequel to the film of THE LAST STARFIGHTER will be THE NEXT STARFIGHTER.

imdb just identifies it as STARFIGHTER. But doing some google searches came up wiith:

"The Next Starfighter" - Sequel to the film "The Last Starfighter" which has secret members of the Kodan Armada trying to bring down the Frontier within the Rylan Senate. Louis Rogan is a full fledged Starfighter and is asked to help test the new prototype Gunstar named the Crimson Star. Xur is still alive and vows to destroy Starfighter Command, but Alex, Grig and Louis have to stop him.

**************

This sounds like an exciting approach to a follow-up. Also, I was wondering why we were getting more script inquiries about productions of the stage musical than we had been, and I guess this helps explain it.

Good news for you and Skip!

That was fun. No, really...it was! Now, you should film the return trip from the other side.

No, I haven't been sitting here like so much fish all evening. My friend Katie was about 10 minutes early picking me up for our current events discussion group (tonight's topic: Egypt) and I ran out of here before signing off and putting my computer to sleep.

That would be the Salt River, which was navigable until it was dammed many decades ago. Then it was dry, unless we got a lot of rain, in which case they would release some water. Several years ago, the City of Tempe decided to make a lake in the riverbed. So they put up inflatable rubber dams and pumped groundwater into it and called it Tempe Town Lake.

I did. And you get a great view of the reflection of the person in the seat in front of me.

Some day I should record a ride to downtown Phoenix, which would be all the blight along Washington Street.

I got word today that the movers are not going to have our stuff here until this weekend, which means that we're stuck in a hotel until early next week.

Druxy, the Lovely Wife and I just slept on an air mattress in an empty house until the movers came. Larry Drake who drove across country with me and the dog (the wife flew with the cat) slept in a sleeping bag in an empty guest room.

DR Laura - thank you for taking us for a ride on the light rail. I miss visiting Phoenix now that my mom and aunt have moved here.

Thanks, George!

Would any of the people who go to the film chat boards be willing to spread THE NEXT STARFIGHTER info around? It would really help Skip and my musical for word on this to get around. Also found out that the script WILL indeed be written By Jonathan Betuel, who wrote the original film, allowed Skip and me to do the musical, and even joined us on a panel along with Lance Guest after our presentation in issaquah (which George and PennyO were at).

Here's the info again in case you can help.

RE: Anthony Newley

I never thought that he was that great an actor, but he was a terrific performer.

I got to know him during the early 1970s. Nice guy.

He was a terrific performer. I saw him once do his niteclub act in a Dallas Supper Club. Hell of a show.

Re: Sweet November. I also worked with Sandy Duncan once in San Diego. She was doing Same Time, Next Year. I assistant stage-managed and understudied the male lead (lead?...Hell, the only other part in the play). She was a nice lady. The Stage Manager was the son of E.E. Clive, a well-known British character actor from the 30's-40's. I remember him telling me an hilarious story where he, as a kid, ruined the big charge scene in CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE (which his father was in with Mr. Flynn) because he was spotted watching from a hillside within camera range.

If only we had had air mattress back when we had to sleep on floors. We did that for two weeks in New Jersey when the driver of the truck decided to abandon the truck without telling anyone. We were lucky it was found undisturbed. That was the move from hell.

I must stop rubbing my face. Every time I do so I have to wash my hands with Tecnu. For most of the day I have been washing our clothes, sheets & towels in it. For those of you who don't know Tecnu is for poison oak & ivy. Keith & I have the west coast Oak. His is far worse than mine. My right forearm is slightly red and swollen. My face isn't bad except for the area at the outer corner of my eye where I keep touching it. If I don't stop I fear I will spread it more.

I'm very grateful for Tecnu & Cortisone 10. Keith purchased a Tecnu spray today I used on my arm instead of the Cortisone ointment. I'm going to go wash it again with Tecnu & use the ointment again, that feels much better.

Thanks. So far I'm not bad. I'm hoping the Tecnu keeps it that way. Keith just walked by to say he is taking a shower & made sure we had a bottle in the bathroom.

Did I miss any discussion here of the Susan Boyle "ordinary"-woman-with-a-great-voice phenomenon in England. There was even a report on it on ABC news just before 7:00.

Yes, FJL, you missed the discussion & links. Feel free to add new info

So, Idol fans, will Adam Lambert break way from his recent mellow demeanor, and go back to his rock persona tonight?

der Brucer

I had a feeling he's return to something rock, and I wasn't wrong!

He was also BY FAR the best singer/performer of the night. He makes everyone else look like real amateurs.
