Welcome to the group! Glad you stopped lurking! :)
I like your movie choices of "Event Horizon" and "Brother From Another Planet".
Those are two of my fav movies as well. I'm also a big fan of writer/director
John Sayles, who did "Brother from Another Planet". Have you seen many of his
other films, such as "Lone Star", "Passion Fish", "Men with Guns"? Great talent.

Hello Everyone,
I'm sorry I didn't introduce myself before. My name is Tracy. (I'm a female
Tracy) I'm currently living in Madison, WI where I have a university job. I

involves science fiction, speculative fiction and revisions of high school
curriculum. I'm teaching a class right now that involves some science fiction
along with some speculative fiction, horror, and philosophy. I've been
enjoying your talks, but hadn't joined in at all because I had not properly
introduced myself. Sorry about the delay. Things have been (and remain) a bit
hectic.
