I hope its not another gangsta movie.

'bolletjes' is Dutch slang for cocaine, etc. and is used in reference
to drug smugglers( the ones who swallow bags).
I haven't heard anything about it here, but I'll keep my
eyes and ears open for it.

No I found it on Imdb.  It was called Otherworld

 Whenever I've talked about the bad scifi of the '70s and '80s--that
 period between the old Star Trek and the Next Generation when 
there was
 a *lot* of scifi crap on TV--this is always one of the shows I've
 mentioned. Hard Time on Planet Earth was horrible, cheesy, 
unoriginal,
 stupid. I watched maybe two eps--assuming they made that many! It 
died a
 quick death. Wasn't the star the bad karate instructor from 
the Karate
 Kid movies? It was shows like that, and Buck Rogers in the 25th
 Century, which i liked at first but which got stupider as time 
went on,
 that made me start to doubt TV scifi.  Remember that bad scifi 
show with
 Hulk Hogan? No? Lucky you!  I actually got to the point where I 
stopped
 watching many scifi premieres, either for fear they'd suck badly, 
or for
 fear that they'd be good and cancelled by stupid network execs. 
Thus, I
 actually didn't watch the premiere of the X-Files, Wolf, or Space: 
Above
 and Beyond. It was quality shows like that, along with TNG and B5, 
that
 slowly got me out of that fear and distrust, and start loving TV 
scifi
 again.
  
 As for that family, sounds very familar. Are you talking about The
 Fantastic Journey from 1977? I believe there was a family sent 
through
 a portal in the Bermuda Triangle.  They met a guy who was I 
believe a
 human from the future, named Varian, who became their friend and 
guide
 of sorts.  Here's a plot summary: 
  
 http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0075503/plotsummary
 A scientific expedition in the Atlantic Ocean becomes lost in the
 Bermuda Triangle and washes up on an uncharted island. They meet 
up with
 travelers from other times, planets and dimensions who have also 
become
 trapped, and together they slide through portals from one 
dimension to
 the next hoping to find the one that leads home.

I remember The Fantastic Journey, but after I got older I got eps from 
that show, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica mixed up.  I mean a lot 
of them resembled each other so much.lol  It's funny to see how much 
the networks have changed in copying each other.

Headline : AOL Vows to Institute Fee-Based Service 

from http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060301/ap_on_hi_te/e_mail_rebellion

Explain this line of thought to me from the article ---

If they (system filters) start interfering with the delivery of 
legitimate mail, I don't think AOL subscribers are going to tolerate 
it, said David Sorkin of the Center for Information Technology and 
Privacy Law at John Marshall Law School in Chicago.

He discounted the likelihood of legal action against AOL. Courts have 
ruled that an e-mail provider is not a government body and therefore 
can't be sued for violating First Amendment rights of free speech.



Only government bodies can be sued for 1st Admendment curtailment??  
Huh?

Hi SciFiNoir Family.  This is a reminder to add your name to our group map that 
lets members know in what cities other scifinoir members live.  Most of you 
probably live really close to other memers and do not even know it.  This map 
will hopefully correct that.  Please click through to add your point on the 
map. Takes less than a minute.
