He had reason to be afraid too! Turns out Death (hooded robe, skeleton form) just wants to "fool around". <br />Not even Ed Wood could have come up with a scenario like that. 'Course he didn't live long enough. Given enough time...the big D might have become an amorous cross-dresser. LOL. ;-)<br />Jack C.

No one could possible do what the hero did, nor cover the amount of territory he did, in the short amount of time that it was all supposed to have happened.<br /><br />Marilyn<br />http://fictionforyou.comMarilyn Meredith a.k.a.

Bo Bolero. I'd forgotten how gloriously bad everything about that movie was... including supposedly erotic love-making scenes that have less eroticism and expression from the actors than the puppet sex in TEAM AMERICA...

Worst nigh-on competent film ever (as opposed to those who can't even competently make a film. More annoying was Bloodsucking Redneck Vampires which weren't too bright, as they say, but was so monumentally stupid that I made my pals shut it off -- after we'd already sat through Evil Alien Conquerors, which the other of the Three Mothers retain a fondness for.C.
