Can’t decide if I like that movie or not.
**************************************
I quite liked it. But my liking the movie is probably colored by the fact that my small town was moving into the 20th century and we just got cable. Wow, no more 3 fuzzy channels and was excited by the fact I could watch fairly recent movies on my huge 25” self built Heathkit TV. That and Alien were two of the first movies shown on Showtime that I watched. This was before the big boom in VCRs.

That takes me back, my Dad spent about 2 years building his Heathkit TV.

I knew a paraplegic that in the 70s was able to build his own TV from a Heathkit too.
