Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board The All-Let's Get 2017 off to the best possible start thread

Thanks, Sarky, for reminding some of us of, and introducing the rest of us to, the sheer awesomeness of the beset Anime theme songs. The positive message is the icing on the cake.

OK, now, I think this melancholy closing track from one of the best albums of the 90s sums up what we're leaving behind very nicely:



And wait until after it's over for another, EXTRA SPECIAL song...

Let it be said that Emi Shinohara is a goddess, as is Sailor Jupiter, and I will fight any who have different to say.

Happy New Year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Let's do EVERYTHING WE CAN to makes 2017 a GOOD YEAR!!

Now let's allow the Beatles, and specifically the perennially maligned and oft-misunderstood George Harrison, to put in the final word:

I was wondering why Caroline Munro's name and face seemed so familiar until I remembered she played opposite one of my favorite horror icons, Vincent Price, in The Abominable Dr. Phibes as his gorgeous assistant!

I *knew* I would forget at least *one* of Caroline's other notable movies!!

Thank you, Kappa.

And, of course, a very Happy New Year to you.

It's time to be defined by a vision of the future, instead of the memories of the past. - Dr. Joe Dispenza

FC, I honestly say I must beg to differ with the good doctor. IMHO, present, future, and past are all intertwined on levels of such complexity that the best thing to do is to make our best efforts to link together all the best things about each of them.

But, more importantly, Happy New Year to you, Legion World's own Mama Bear (on 2nd thought, I guess it would be more appropriate to call you Mama Cat.)

Either way, you are loved & treasured. And, as it's now just a couple minutes after 6 a.m. EST, I'm off to make myself coffee. Wonderful symmetry, is it not?

Being one with zen, as I am, I live only in the moment. Which often means I find myself in shops, with no idea of why I went there or what the point of it was intended to be.


Back to Starcrash. I first picked it up because it had Marjoe Gortner in it. I'd remembered him from Mausoleum* ,an early '80s horror movie. Caroline Munro being in Starcrash was an unexpected bonus.



*not to be confused with Mouseoleum, the Legion of Super Pets Halloween special.

So who would win in a barfight: Munro or Sybil Danning?

Well, let's not be hasty by holding just the one fight, cleome.

To be fair to both contestants, it should be a series of fights over a long period of time, and under varying conditions. You know, standard, every day bar environments where there's a mud or oil mishap. That sort of thing...

The audience.

Sandahl Bergman would intercede and out-fight them both!! (Yes, I despise the testost-overload first Conan live-action movie (and the cheeseball second one as well), but Sandahl was so cool she almost transcended the awfulness around her.)

BTW, I personally feel that January is the worst possible time of year to make positive change that lasts more than ten seconds, but I've managed to get a few important things done since mid-December. So go, Me!

Yay Cle!! Way to go!!
