I spent a lot of time at a local planetarium when I was in highschool, and one of the technicians use to go out and buy 100's of bucks worth of silly albums. She and I would listen to them, looking for useful noises for planetarium shows, and giggle a lot.. One day she came back with the soundtrack to the afore mentioned book.. "A sound track to a book??" I thought it sounded really tacky at the time, lots of over dramatic voices.. Sounded like a bastardized opera.. I'm biased however.. My step-father is very much into scientology (founded by one and the same L. Ron Hubard..) He spends thousands of dollars on these scientology classes and wont even pay for my mother's glaucoma operation.. It makes me nauseous just thinking about all the money this scum ball must be making off of this stuff.. I read a portion of the book when I went too visit my mother last summer, if you are aware of them there are references to scientology all through the book.. The only reference I can remember now is the thing about MEST, matter, energy, space and time.. which are all separate things according to Mr. Hubard.. Of what religious value this is I do not know.. I would be quite happy if this whole movie business was a monsterous flop.. -- Myke Reynolds Office of Telecommunications and Networking Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta Georgia, 30332 ...!{akgua,allegra,amd,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo,ut-ngp}!gatech!gitpyr!myke
