Michelle, I've been hearing so much negativity on TPM that I still can't bring myself to go, yet. Agree with you on Empire, definitely the best, couldn't stomach Jedi either. I think I saw the Forbin Project, but right now, the story escapes me. Did you ever see "The Andromeda Strain"....I liked that one. bp

Michelle, this is the post to which you referred, although it is not an analysis: techstocks.com I am not sure if I have seen the Forbin Project, and I purposely skipped Contact. On the Ewoks, perhaps my analysis of Phantom Menace will explain my point of view: Message 10233658 At the time that Star Wars first came out, I was in college, and Close Encounters came out almost simultaneously. I preferred Close Encounters, because of what Roy went through. I used to say about the original Star Wars, "What can you say about a movie where the most engaging character resembles a vacuum cleaner, and whistles instead of speaking?"

Tripped up! Looks like a State's Versus Federal rights case might be brewing.. Posted at 9:17 p.m. PDT Saturday, June 26, 1999 U.S. Judge Orders Tripp Tapes Turned Over -Report BALTIMORE (Reuters) - A federal judge has ordered independent counsel Kenneth Starr to turn over to Maryland state prosecutors tape recordings made by Linda Tripp of her telephone conversations with Monica Lewinsky, the Baltimore Sun reported Saturday. The Sun quoted sources close to the case as saying U.S. District Judge Norma Holloway Johnson's order came in response to a request for the tapes made by State Prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli, who is investigating whether Tripp broke Maryland law by taping her conversations with the former White House intern. The tapes helped trigger a scandal over President Clinton's relationship with Lewinsky that led to the president's impeachment in the House in December and acquittal in the Senate in February. The Sun reported that Montanarelli's investigation had been hindered by his inability to obtain copies of the Tripp tapes. Tripp is a longtime resident of Columbia, Maryland. Tripp turned the tapes over to Starr last year after the independent counsel's office awarded her immunity from prosecution. Tripp taped her talks with Lewinsky from her home. Under Maryland law, telephone calls cannot be taped without the consent of all parties involved. Lewinsky had not given her consent. But prosecutors also must prove that Tripp knew the law in order to win a conviction, the Sun reported. The Sun said it could not establish when the judge ordered Starr to turn over the tapes. Tripp's lawyer Joseph Murtha told the Sun he does not believe the development will help state prosecutors, saying: ''We believe the immunity agreement entered into with the office of independent counsel precludes the state prosecutor's office from even making use of that information.''
