I think an interesting blog might be the comparisons to the remakes too.<BR/>I'm looking for your books.

I thought they were amazing--and I still could watch them anytime. I also remember watching Planet of the Apes films from my spot in the backseat of my parents' car at the drive-in. (I was allowed to wear my pajamas, of course!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Mario.

I may need to Netflix that one. Thanks, Mario!<BR/><BR/>ClairEllen Clair Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14944288413332520719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1465814199245472416.post-80004553619025846892009-02-24T13:17:00.000-05:002009-02-24T13:17:00.000-05:00Interesting reviews, Mario.

Did these old movies shape you as a writer?T.

Thanks for that 70s heavy-cheese flashback, Mario. I suppose. (For another: Do you know Ralph Bakshi's animated WIZARDS? Whoa...)PigHelmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07725612892401962163noreply@blogger.com
