LOVE this movie.. I had some discussions with Shane Rimmer, one of the cockpit crew, regarding working with both Sellers and Kubrick. He didn't have a lot of direct contact on the set, but certainly enjoyed working with Slim Pickens and others. He's been in most of the Connery/Moore Bond films as well.
Met Shane at a Tampa Space:1999 convention, meeting Barry Morse as well (one of his last cons..). I sat with him and a room-full of fans to watch his Space:1999 episode ('Space Brain'). It was so dated and funny, his wife was crackin' up with all our jokes.
Certainly is surreal watching a 40yr old episode with one of the episode's guest stars sitting next to you.
I forever stand vigilant to protect this planet from the myriad of forces that are always against us. Be it the octopus, zombies, aliens or the robots my team of human agents, and our feline allies, circle the globe in a never ending struggle for human freedom.
I learn all I can on every subject that interests me. I especially enjoy ancient history because in the past there are valuable lessons to be found. Also, if I ever get my time machine to work properly, it would be good to know a bit about possible destinations and what to expect when I get there.
I greatly appreciate beautiful design. Be it manufactured or found naturally I am fascinated by the process of invention. I am attracted to the unique, the strange, the haunted. I like to share what I find on this blog.
And not let us forget the 'Cephalopod Menace' who, if allowed to, would wrap their tentacles around all that is good and pure in this life and crush it until it remained no more. They are creatures of pure spite. Hate is all they know. Death is all they do. They are our most ruthless and determined enemy.
So we fight. Selena has the celebrity contacts, the cat is ruthless and without pity, Roosevelt's ghost has the experience and I do the wetwork.
Fighting for the future of the planet doesn't have to be a chore, however. We can take the time to appreciate all that is cool in this world even as we cut the octopus into bite sized chunks.
This is the reason there has always been and must forever be, a Cave of Cool. Be sure to wipe your feet before you enter.

Thanks for sharing that story with me.
