BEFORE I COMMENT ON THIS GREAT WORK ... It is because of SILENT RUNNING I became a screenwriter and director ... I was 12 -- and actually walked into the film 1/2 through where Bruce Dern ('FREEMAN LOWELL') finds 'LOUIE'S' little leg after riding the rapids with the rings of Saturn. Since then, I have seen the film easily 100 times -- (thank the stars for DVD!) At 14 -- I saw one of the actual domes and 'HUEY' at a STAR TREK CONVENTION in San Diego. Years later in my 20's, I was fortunate to be an editor on a documentry about Douglas Trumbull as a SHOWSCAN promo (the 65mm process he and Richard Yuricich invented that is a staple of event rides in Vegas, studios, Disneyland, etc.) Much of my professional life has been because of SILENT RUNNING -- and anyone who goes to the trouble of creating a DRONE this detailed, like John Henry has certainly has my appreciation and fandom for life. What he has done matters. I cannot wait til he'll be convinced into making a DOME! Regards, DB DirectedBy@aol.com ps: My thoughts and prayers for your wife's wellness. Love and life is ever so short. pps: The fictional AMERICAN AIRLINE SPACE FREIGHTERS were only out there because of global warming gone rampant, folks -- that was 1971. It is now 2004 and we are losing the flora and fauna faster than the money monsters can spend their war profits. Dig?
