I think you can fit the audience for a typical John Sayles movie in a phone booth. His films don't get huge releases anyway.

My favorite John Sayles flick, BTW, is Battle Beyond the Stars.

No, I haven't heard of that one as well, but if I see a rental I'll pick it up on your reccomendation. As a hard science kind of guy, I do enjoy space operas, and I can get around the PC for a certain Borg in "voyager" or my favorite Vulcan in "Enterprise".

If I remember correctly, this is a cheap ripoff of THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.

I believe he did THE HOWLING years go. On a tv interview he stated he used NON-UNION labor for his films. So, how can he claim to be liberal and do this at the same time!

AAAAAACK! One of the worst movies ever made! John-Boy Richrad Thomas was terrible. The talking computer was terrible, the leading female, well looked pretty good. Bad story. I took a girl to that movie years ago, and it was the last time she would go out with me. I can't blame her. BTW, I noticed that that movie is on some cable channles this weekend.
