Yes, I heard the paper rustle, too. Just what I come here for, to read 10-year-olds' fantasies about "estates" in Aspen and certificates of authenticity. At least they are literate. I figure Blofeld is the Energizer Bunny of villains. Besides, for me, Donald Pleasance was the best Blofeld. I think he had the best cat, too. Because the frickin' sharks hadn't yet been fitted with the frickin' lasers! Was that too much to ask? I felt generous rating it a 5/10 on IMDB. Boring, phony, predictable, poorly acted all 'round. Then there's the unnecessary characters of Bibi and her instructor. I skipped from about 30:00 in to the last 15 minutes and figured I missed nothing. One of the best theme songs, though, esp. featuring images of Sheena Easton in the opening credits. Yes, annoying, and obviously overdubbed voice. Who knows whose voice that really was. Same with Carol Bouquet. I figure it was some kind of deal to help finance the film. Someone was pushing her as the "next big thing" and got this part, probably written for her, as it didn't move the plot forward at all. All good sci-fi is more about humanity (or lack thereof) and its conflicts than about the science. The latter is a wrapper to give (hopefully) interesting context for the human drama at the core. This one is light on the science, yes, unless you count Riley's use of physics principles to rig a source of fresh water for the house. That contraption would've been on "Mr. Wizard" for sure! What WAS the alternate ending. I hope not a "Hollywood Happy" one. They weren't the last two. Remember Nils? I think his quote about the feeling of "longing for a home that never was" is what finally got to her. He mentioned it twice, so I think the filmmaker wanted us to pay attention to that thought. Yes! Wasn't there a message from another man on the voicemails she played back near the end? View all replies >
