What worries me is that, as I was coming back to the office with my lunch,
there was a line to see this movie. (There's a movie theater not far down
the block.) Furthermore, the line was long enough that it was almost
blocking the sidewalk--I had to walk through it to get into the building
lobby. What is wrong with these people? Didn't they have enough drugs when
they were young? Look, nostalgia is not an explanation here.  I'm 34. I
remember Lost In Space. It was crap then, it's crap now, it will probably
always be crap. It isn't worth half an hour on Nick at Night (I don't *know*
that they're showing this, but it's the sort of thing they do) for free,
and it certainly isn't worth $8.50 on a gorgeous Friday afternoon.
