Greetings,

Took a little longer than I expected to get this one going. For that, my most
profuse apologies. But Ive not been a total layabout. Did some tweaking 
of the web pages. Mostly cleaning up the HTML behind the scenes, but I 
went ahead and added a page about the mysterious Earl Mac Rauch since 
hes occupied so much discussion lately. Hope to have a Richter page going 
up sometime soon, too, since these two men are so responsible for that which 
we hold so dear. Any suggestions for other subjects to cover on the page, by
all means let me know. 

TABB will be on the tube again this month. On Comedy Central.
The 19th at 4 and 8 pm eastern. 

Carl "John Parker" Lumbly is coming up on the 22nd in "The Wedding"
on ABC.

UPN had a made-for-TV movie entitled "Warlord: Battle for the
Galaxy" on Tuesday, January 27th. One of the characters in the film is named
"Hennoc Xian."  The film's writer, Caleb Carr, has said the name was *not*
inspired by the evil Hanoi Xan.

Anyone has any projects (new web pages, fanfic, etc...) going on, feel free to 
let me know so I can pass it on to the List at large. 

Enjoy life and all that sort of thing. Some intriguing rumors this time out, but
I must stress they are just that.

Okay, geezer BBI blowing a gasket here... I find it Real
Depressing that people are *selling for profit* stuff that originally got
disseminated out of fannish kindness... I mainly mean the director's cut
here, but jeez. 

The thing that put me over the top on this was seeing Hollywood's
trademark "be cool, but care" signature at the bottom of one of these
offers.  

Trade, okay, but frankly profiteering off what should be shared
freely is bad for your karmic health, imho.

I have an original copy of "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across The
8th Dimension" on laserdisc.  I purchased it new in 1985.  It is in
excellent condition (Cover and Disc) and I'm interested in selling it to
someone who would take care of it as I have.  Please e-mail me if you
are interested.

Hi--

Hope this subscribe message doesn't go out to 500 people. I can't seem to
find a majordomo address for the list, and all the links for subscribing on
relevant webpages point to this address.

I first saw BB very stoned with a couple of friends a week or two after it
came out. (I doubt Buckaroo would approve. Ah, my misspent youth.) I did
get all the drug jokes (lithium is no longer available on credit) but it
took me two more sober viewings and a reading of the novel before I could
figure out even approximately what was going on. I loaned the novel to a
friend, who sold it or lost it or something and then swore she had never
seen it in her life. I finally found another copy last night in a used
bookstore for about $1.50. (Fools!) Isn't the current market price about
$100? I can't even find the book in those Internet used-book databases that
claim 3 million items, like Interloc.

So I've re-realised what a magnificent book/movie/phenomenon the whole
thing is. I mean, Mac Rauch has it down. Yoyodyne. (Pynchon.) Nova Police.
(Burroughs.) Alaya-Vijnana Consciousness, for crying out loud! That's maybe
the second time I've read the term outside of technical Buddhist texts. I
looked through issue #36 of the mailing list on the website (yes please!
email the zipped-up digests as soon as possible!) and was glad to see other
people noticing that BB alludes generally to Doc Savage, although the
similarity to Indiana Jones was something I had missed.

I want to BE Buckaroo, or at least a Cavalier. Not only is he an all-around
genius, he's Pure Good. Guess I'll just have to settle for being an
Irregular.

Sign me up!

I posted this info a little while ago, but it was hidden in my message (and,
besides, we moved) so here it is again:

Arkansas Adios is the second novel by Earl Mac Rauch, twenty-two, native
of Texas, graduate of Dartmouth, author of Dirty Pictures from the Prom,
which the Los Angeles Times called 'one of the best books of the season
(1969).' His new novel has a cast of characters unlike anything in
fiction, let alone real life. Its hero is Lester Long, the most precocious
eleven-year-old in Red Mound, Arkansas. Lester's dog, Cartoon Dog, looks
like a cartoon dog: lester's big sister, Bolivia, is not too bright;
Bolivia's baby, Buster, is not bitten by a fish; and Bolivia's friend,
Roland, is chased by the FBI. Everyone who should lives happily ever
after. Thus sayeth the back cover, which also features a photograph,
presumably of the author enjoying a Dr. Pepper with his shoes off.
Arkansas Adios had its moments, but was mainly fairly depressing,
run-of-the-mill rural dysfunction. What I saw of Dirty Pictures From the
Prom was really great; a biography written by his younger brother of
Creynaldo, perhaps the greatest genius the world has ever known,
unfortunately felled by leukemia at age seven, interspersed with quotes
from Creynaldo's works and a dialogue between the Editor and the Author.
These two novels, as well as New York, New York (of Martin Scorcese Movie
Fame) are available in most libraries. Well they were available in both of
the libraries I checked, anyway.
Hopefully I'm not the only person on the digest who didn't already know
all of this,

Hope this works. Already wrote a long email and then got illegal
operationed out. Anyway, I am a long time fan of BB, having first seen
it on the big screen in NYC. I am an avid watcher and reader of sci-fi
and find most films to be very disappointing. Not BB. Have decided it's
a must have and am thrilled to find video sources, since most places
tell me it's out of print.
	Did you think there was a BB "quote" in MIB? On one of the alien
spacecraft, there were little beasties that closely resembled the thing
found on Buckaroo's "car" after returning from the 8th dimension - sort
of a round rubik's cube with gunk on it.
	Their use of John aliens sipping battery acid from a car battery with a
straw got me as well as the endearing use of rastas as aliens. I can't
wait to get my own copy!
	Put me on your emailing list, if any. Devoted fan here, eagerly
awaiting any and all sequels.
Sined, seeled and delivered.

What I am REALLY looking for is a poster of the film, uh, movie or 
whatever you want to call it! AND I did see it in the theater and for a 
while I followed it about when it played independent theaters.
Thanks!

Hello.
I have been here before, however never placed my name on the list.
I first saw the film when it came on HBO many years ago.  I will admit, I
didn't get it then.  I guess I was to mentally immature.  I saw it again a
few years later at a friends house and was hooked.  I had taped it and wore
it out, rented it and taped it and over the years have just wore out the
copy.  I have probably let around 50 people borrow it over the years in an
attempt to Hook the World or at least my corner of it.  Now I am
Banzai-less.  No tape, no copy, no nothing.  Except for you all on the
internet.
I have tried to find a copy to buy and was told by a manager of a video
store that Disney had bought the rights to it and some other "Classics"
such as Princess Bride and will release them again, later, on video. Will
wait for the day.

Until next time, I'll be here, in the rain forest, three feet from the
surface of the Sun.

Heya!

I don't know if you check out the Coming Attractions movie scoop website,
but this month's Director's Cut- an area the creator uses to comment on
movie stuff- makes a reference to an upcoming indie film of... Buckaroo
Banzai Against the World Crime League!!!

Maybe it could finally happen, eh?

For February Zombie reviews the Spicey and the Stoned!
just go to
www.mandlmedia.com/zmmm

The Spice Girls just cannot live up to "A Hard Day's Night" in
their music infomercial/film debut with "Spice World."

Also.."Half Baked" is the best stoner comedy in years, and
even stars Tommy Chong.  Light 'em up and check it out!

In lasers- Zombie gets to the bottom of why "Good Will
Hunting" is screwing "Chasing Amy" at Oscar time.

And speaking of Oscars- ZMMM's Academy Award coverage begins
on Feb.11- so come on by and get Zombie's picks to win that office pool.

as always thanks for reading and see a movie today!
