Cowboys and gadgets--- I'm all for it. <br /><br />I just watched the Firefly series for the first time. I agree, brilliant! I wish it would have took off. What a shame it didn't. <br /><br />As for Brisco County-- I love to re-watch those episodes again.<br /><br />Your books sound like something I'd love to read.

Well...I liked the Brendan Fraser version very much. Well, he is Canadian, after all :-). Truthfully, though, the special effects were very well done and they followed the story fairly well for having modernized it.<br /><br />The Core was with Hillary Swank and Aaron Eckhart. They had to go to the centre of the earth to restart the core after a secret government experiment shut it down. Yes, I said restart the core. They traveled to the centre of the earth in a digging machine made of (get this) unobtainium. Personally, I think this is where they should have gone steampunk. Really, really bad science in this one.Zitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934983183390982361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100289630387595500.post-39939397020615619062011-07-26T13:47:19.414-07:002011-07-26T13:47:19.414-07:00Hello, Cate!

Although a little campy, I thought it had heart. Also I saw itin 3-D which was kind of fun. :) <br /><br />I have to look up 'The Core'. I'm pretty sure I saw it and was disappointed too.

I have loved every version of that movie. I was also majorly disappointed in "The Core," which could have been great if they hadn't tried to sell us made up physics as if it were real in today's world. If they had dressed it up as steampunk instead, they would've gotten better reviews, I think. People are willing to stretch their imaginations, but not if they try to make us believe it's true and good science. Unfortunately for some movie makers, we're not quite as stupid as they think we are. :-)Zitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10934983183390982361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100289630387595500.post-67106025406902320332011-07-26T08:03:45.772-07:002011-07-26T08:03:45.772-07:00Sounds like we're 'like' souls, Teresa...Sounds like we're 'like' souls, Teresa. I know exactly what you mean. I often feel as though I'm 'old world'. Then again, I also believe in past lives so maybe my feelings are rooted in a past reality? :)<br /><br />I bet almost every girl/woman who watched the original WWW, had a crush on Robert Conrad. Aside from being very handsome and charismatic, his butt looked awesome in those tight pants! (Ditto for Brisco County Jr. LOL) <br /><br />Oh, and if you love HG Wells, check out the series: The Infinite Worlds of H.G. Wells. I got it through Netflix.

The same movies you listed I couldn't get to the theaters fast enough to watch.<br /><br />I love Wild Wild West and I had a crush on actor Robert Conrad, sigh. The same with the Adventures Brisco County Jr. I was so sad when that show didn't last that long.<br /><br />Sometimes I feel I'm and old soul trapped in the wrong body. I always dreamed big as a kid. My mind was always on the future when I was little. I guess this is why I accept all this fantastic discovery's and never blink an eye.<br />This was a very nice blog. <br /><br />Teresa K.<br />tcwgrlup41@yahoo.comTeresa K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02924374150166433414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9100289630387595500.post-82341456703282357062011-07-26T07:41:12.913-07:002011-07-26T07:41:12.913-07:00Maura, thanks for the tip!
