Well yeah, I remember '68 like it was yesterday, significant events, girlfriends in HS, the sweetness of youth.
We were stunned at the movie's climactic scene, the threat of nuclear Armageddon present in the Viet Nam conflict, escalating.
Is the probability less now, than then ?
The opening scenes in '98's Godzilla too, boded calamity. the Eniwetok Atoll H-Bomb tests Ivy Mike, creating a Monster.
That is why we would hump like rabbits, like there was no tomorrow, back then.
Wish I could go back in time to suffer again, to correct a few mistakes, do it right the second time, so I didn't hurt her feelings so badly, being an insensitive lout.
Makes me think, ' Yeah, a time machine ! '
Maybe, that's what the ufos are, after all.

The future, 1980.. It's all new to me, don't think it was broadcast here in Toronto then, '70.

Yeah, a time machine to alter our history, changing our future, the causality conundrum.

Yeah ! Communist agents of the USSR infiltrated LA's movie industry in the 1930's, influencing the simple minded.
' We will ply them with their own young girls, they will not be able to resist ! Muah-Ah-Ah ! ' ~ Machiavellian plotters inside Stalin's Kremlin, Seduction Squads ordered to entice, lure, men to their bidding..
It's.. It's.. diabolical !
Who will be our hero in the 21st century ?
We need another Sean Connery, a Bond agent, a man of action.
Tom Jones sings Thunderball.

Carte Blanche - Henry Cavill, Scarlett Johansson - 007
Yeah, Scarlett does it for me, as with many others.

Hope, British Columbia, Canada.
Where the Sasquatch live on the Mountain.
Go there, bring food, they like food.
Clear your mind, become one with Earth, call out to our big brothers, say hello.
Prepare to inhibit your fear of the unknown, relax into the new World.

The Great Race sword fight between Tony Curtis and Ross Martin was the best sword fight ever! (Ross Martin was the only reason to watch Wild Wild West (As Artemus Gordon)

I dunno about that. There was something about him I didn't particularly care for, although I enjoyed his contraptions. However, (as a 9-13 year old) I thought Robert Conrad was great. He was the smooth ladies man that I never became. lol

When I was very young back in the 60s I was more into Conrad....But as I got older I realized just how talented Ross Martin was- especially after seeing him in several other shows and movies. Also, there was a situation at "Battle of the Network Stars" where Conrad challenged Gabe Kaplan (Welcome back Kotter) to a run....and Gabe beat him....Conrad was very arrogant- there was a movie he did which was just an "Ego stroker" for him and that really changed my opinion of him...
