View, CA Lines: 14 [] Just want to add my 'no' vote to M.R. Leeper's on SILENT RUNNING. Yes, I thought the robots were adorable; yes, the SFX were good, and pretty; yes, Joan Baez is a great singer and a fine lady; yes, forests and cuddly animals are very nice; but I find myself unable to like any movie whose story makes as little sense as did SR. I doubt if Watt, himself, could trivialize the need for protection of our environment as thoroughly as the film did. Fatuous and stupid. - From the Crow's Nest - Kenn Barry NASA-Ames Research Center Moffett Field, CA ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- USENET: {ihnp4,vortex,dual,hao,menlo70,hplabs}!ames!barry
