And Tony Morrison, who, according to the press, fitted none of the categories but still objected on moral grounds. As such he was a test case and one that the Government could ill afford to lose. Today his day in court after years of wrangling and the ladies of Save Our Sons were there to support his claim. But that hardly explained the presence of me, if not Bucky Buckland.
 “Why are we here, Bucky?”
 “I promised me mum I’d be here. She is doing it for my benefit, you know.”
 “I thought you had a student exemption.”
 “I failed everything. But she fixed it with the professor to get me re-enrolled.”
 “I see. Shouldn’t it be you and me who are fighting then?”
 “It is becoming rather difficult to tell who the real enemy is, I agree.”
 “Okay. So. Why have you brought me here?”
 “I thought you might find it enlightening.”
 “Oh, I do. I do. Just not in the way you might expect.”
“Meaning?”
 “Don’t you think I’m just slightly inappropriately dressed for the occasion?”
 “I would have thought the opposite.”
 “That comes from being on opposite sides, Bucky.”

The Green Slime was every bit as bad as it’s title, right from it’s inappropriately bopping title tune to it’s woeful special effects—the spaceships were right out of Thunderbirds. And it caused three actors quite poluar at the time—Robert Horton, Lucianna Paluzzi and Richard Jaekel—to become completely unpopular again. But twenty years later, Ridley Scott remade it, under the title Alien. Sometimes history is best forgotten.

   Dark of the Sun, about diamond smugglers in South Africa and the brutal police force that hunts them, was every bit as violent as it's poster, but it was hard to care about the characters. At least Rod Taylor attempted the accent, unlike the rest of the cast.

    Bonanza was the most popular TV series of the time; no one knew why then nor now. Fathom proved once again that Raquel Welch couldn't act but once again no one seemed to care.
   Hour of the Gun was a pretty accurate account of how Wyatt Earp hunted down the remaining members of Curly Bill's gang after the OK Corral gunfight... until the final showdown between Earp and Ike Clanton, which didn't occur. The two men never met after that fatal day in Tombstone, and both died of natural causes in their eighties, Ike in California and Earp in Cuba. The truth, alas, is always the worst enemy of any good movie.
