In Reply to: Two "Women" to watch... posted by Victor Khomenko on February 06, 2000 at 05:56:21:
From the corporate headquarters for the Wendy's fast food restaurants, this Central Ohioan can tell you that the Soviet runway fashion show ad is the pride of CEO Dave Thomas (who really shouldn't star in his company's ads anymore). Still has his evening fashion accessory...a flashlight.Both of those "Women" films are excellent. Victor, you're never gonna let go of that remark about Katarina Witt's rear end in "Ronin", are you?
Watching "The Navigator: An Odyssey Across Time" right now. Pretty good Australian time travel film (I guess that qualifies as "sci-fi", and if the Sci-Fi channel can get away with showing Hercules and Xena, then this certainly qualifies).
Kudos to Dave - it was so fresh and witty.***Both of those "Women" films are excellent.
A nice pair, to be sure.
***Victor, you're never gonna let go of that remark about Katarina Witt's rear end in "Ronin", are you?
You would have to refresh my memory on that one (if you'd be so kind), but my wife just could not contain herself watching the fashion models of the forties. That's what happens when you put real women on the screen.
And speaking of women with a lot of presence, do you remember Lya De Putti? Not your average household name, but for some reason she stuck in my memory.

If you open up the definition of sci-fi a bit more, then at some point the Sleeper is gonna make it too - and boy, what a comedy!
Worked with electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction in graduate school and developed films in dark rooms that were separated from the "equipment" by cylindrical light-tight sliding door chambers. After seeing "Sleeper", we prominently labeled these chambers with "Orgasmatron" plaques and my professor bought a Volkswagon Beetle ("it'll function well into the next century"). Shoulda seen the look on the Dean's face when he toured through the building with a funding committee.
That was our dark room.
