It’s not something I’m planning on reviewing: as I’ve covered it a couple of times, already.
Frankly?
I know there’s criticisms of the film: Sam Neill’s performance is good, but mildly schizophrenic.
I suspect Neill’s performance — along with the film’s other flaws — can be blame on the studio — the studio, rather than director, Paul W. S. Anderson — insisting it be cut from a one-hundred and thirty minute version to an hour and a half.
But what we get on screen, from the design of the ship, the effects, to Laurence Fishburne’s hefty performance as Captain Miller?
Is still quite something to watch!

Let’s move on, shall we?
Yesterday’s Teaser saw Mum* and Debbi† putting in their answers: with Debbi scoring five out of five, and Mum on four.
Q1)4th January is the feast day of Ferréol of Uzès. The ancient diocese of Uzès is in what’s now, where: France, Belgium or Germany?
Q2)Baseball player, Kris Bryant, was born on 4th January, 1992. He currently plays for which MLB team: the Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants or the Colorado Rockies?
Q3)The Battle of Reading took place on 4th January, AD871. The Reading in question, is in which modern English county: Berkshire, Durham or Essex?
Q4)4th January is Ogoni Day: marked by the Movement for the Survival of the Ogoni People. The Ogoni people live in which African nation: Nigeria, Niger or Namibia?
Q5)Finally … ? 4th January is Independence Day in what’s now called Myanmar. What was Myanmar called: before it changed its name in 1989?
Q2)The proceedings of the US Congress were first televised on 3rd January, 1947. What’s the name of the TV channel that broadcasts proceedings: C-SPAN, Out-SPAN or SPAN-R?
† Yes, it’s a bit overwhelming, Debbi! It’s like using the term ‘a game of football’. That covers everything from soccer to Rugby, Aussie Rules, American Football, Canadian Rules football, five-a-side … and the Eton Wall Game, if you really want to get picky! Apparently, no-one’s scored a goal in the Eton Wall Game since 1909!
Ye gods, you’ve got a handful with the typing! Just you wait ’til the 8th January. It’s only five questions, but the theme’s appropriate!
‡ The phone meeting went very well, Olga: thankfully, I was able to do the needed uploading while I was on the phone. The next one’s in person: in April.
I love it when someone comments. But, having had anonymous comments I feel may be libellous, actionable or just plain offensive, over the years?
I’d appreciate you* leaving your name — with a link to your website or social-media profile†, for preference — before you post a comment.
Should you choose to use a pseudonym/name, I’d appreciate it if that name were to be polite and inoffensive. I’d rather you kept it clean, and relatively grown up. Comments left with a pseudonym will be posted at my discretion: I really prefer a link.
Contentious, actionable or abusive posts left anonymously will not be posted. Nor will comments using offensive pseudonyms or language, or that are abusive of other commenters.
Thank you.
* I know many value their online privacy. I respect that. But hope you respect my wish to see who’s commenting on my blog: and my wish for you to introduce your self to me, and to your fellow commentors.
† Your Facebook, X/Twitter, Blogger, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn profile are acceptable. I also like seeing folks webpages.
