Greetings, Starfighter!

God, I want to watch this.

The Last Starfighter: A New Musical.

One of my favorite movies of all time, and one I always tear up at the ending to. For a geeky, awkward, overweight kid growing up in the 1980s playing video games, this was the ultimate wish fulfilment fantasy.

You have been recruited by the Star League to defend The Frontier against Xur & The Kodan Armada... (http://www.wavsite.com/sounds.asp?ID=29)

You know, someone should do a new Last Starfighter game - you know. Flight Simulator: Gunstar. I'd bet you anything it would sell out.

oooh! I love that movie.

We had free movie cable for like a week, and when it came on, I made my son (he's 8) watch it.

He loved it too, although he kept referring to it as "that corny movie."

Ah well... Next I'll be subjecting him to "dragonslayer."

I think Tariq wants to go see that.
