Radioactive Dreams (1984)

Had the pleasure of being in this stinker

[23 April 2003]

As a young buck I was an extra in this film in LA. There were so many extras and no real coordination, we didn't know when the camera was rolling and when it wasn't. Shooting seemed to go on forever without a break, so when you got tired you just walked off the set and went home.

We knew when making it that it would go direct to video. It was actually released, and played at my local theater for about two days before it was yanked. I had never before seen a movie taken out of the theater that quickly.

I'm still looking for the video just for nostalgia. I'm glad there are some people out there who can enjoy for something.

A fun 20 minutes

[10 March 2003]

Shot in a day, this short film is basically Speed giving the camera tidbits of his New York City tour speech. You could consider it a short version of The Cruise, updated since 9/11.

Speed is an interesting character, and has some fun ideas and thoughts. I'm not sure where he comes up with the whacky stuff he does, but the question that comes up in my mind the most is "so this is how this guy's mind works..... interesting."

Fun and interesting, the film played well to a pretty liberal college town here in Texas.
