It's almost totally bogus. I started high school in 1971 and graduated from college in 1979. In my nearly all-white suburban high school the music that ruled was Chicago, The Eagles, Led Zepellin, what was then known as classical rock and space rock (Floyd, Moodies, ELP, YES) and singer-songwriter shit like James Taylor and Cat Stevens. Disco first appeared around 1974 as I recall. There was a very tiny minority who wore the polyester fashions of the day, but virtually everyone else dressed like hippies in ripped faded jeans and with long hair. Even the jocks and geeks. Check out "Dazed and Confused" for a bit more authentic view of that great decade. Maybe that show will play some Soft Boys, they're a great 70's band. rich p.s. I'd like to welcome Cliff the mousestalker. And please tell us more about Albino Brown, I've never heard of him. ======== Fwd by: Russ Reynolds ======== I'm a couple of years behind you, Rich...Graduated HS in '77. "Dazed & Confuzed" was dead on. This TV show is way off the mark. It's like they lump the entire decade into one year. Sorry, but the Brady Bunch was dead before Farrah Fawcett came along. It's pretty obvious this is a show for teens who are into the retro thing. I watched a tape of the pilot shows a couple of weeks ago, by the way, and I will say that the second episode (which I guess will air this sunday?) is much funnier than the first. But that's not saying much. The only good thing I can really say about this show is that it seems to be pretty innovative from a technical standpoint (at least where TV sitcoms are concerned), but I can't imagine any show surviving solely on interesting camera angles, funny set tricks and clever editing. And isn't Tanya Roberts about 35 years old? - -russ PS "great decade"? I remember thinking the 70's sucked at the time! Guess I was one of those retro-teens... ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1998 23:23:05 +0800 From: Jon Fetter Subject: Re: The Lord of the Rings movies >*It isn't a trilogy.

Rightly put. >> a mediocre animated version of the story was released in the 1970s, > >*Has anyone seen this? I understand that Terrence's unfavourite "Wizards", >(which I have seen), was the dry run for LotR. My understanding is that it >only goes as far as Helm's Deep, half-way through the story, which seems >pretty weedy. Ralph Bashki (Fritz the Cat, Wizards, and the unfortunate Cool World) did LotR up to Helm's Deep when the suits pulled funding on him. I guess they were displeased with the way Bashki was doing things. It wasn't that bad really--his mixture of animation and live action at times was quite scary. The rest of the book was done by the people who man-handled "The Hobbit" (I would say "murdered," but it has it's moments and the songs are fun). I saw this part on the tube a long time ago and wasn't that impressed. >> Famed Tolkien artists Alan Lee and John Howe will employ computer >> technology and some 1,200 special effects shots to reduce the movie's >> actors to the size of hobbits, the book's dwarf-like central characters >> Jackson said. Lee and Howe are the two best Tolkien artists IMO and their art is pretty consistent with Tolkien's descriptions. I'm relieved to see that they are involved with the project (a Howe picture is my current desktop--God, I'm a capital-G- Geek!). >*As for casting, I would have thought RH was more of a Legolas than an >Aragorn.

Maybe as Treebeard, slightly whacked out from living for nearly forever. Or maybe Elrond. John Hurt would be a good Smeagol--he looked weird and ugly in Contact. Who would be a good Aragorn? Jeremy Irons? Harrison Ford? Regardless, I'm a bit nervous about hearing about this movie. Hollywood has taken several books that I've loved and done terrible things to them on screen. As this isn't a very list-oriented subject, I'll be happy to continue this off-list.

I understand that Terrence's unfavourite "Wizards", > (which I have seen), was the dry run for LotR.

It's been a while. It was better than "Wizards" in that it didn't have that "keep one frame onscreen for two minutes while narrating" technique, and because it was based off of a book by someone who could write, while "Wizards" appears to have been made up as it went along. > *As for casting, I would have thought RH was more of a Legolas than an > Aragorn.
