You'll have to define "bad."

Drinks too much, smokes around kids...

I can see some detail in my 66mm. Polar cap, some surface features
(sorry, don't know names). My 15 " is better though :-)



I have a sneaking suspiciion that my brother in law wanted to see "Mission
to
Mars". I
haven't read one good thing about it even though tim Robbins is in it

This by far is the funniest things I have read about it so far

Regarding famed jazz musician Buzz Aldrin...

HOLLYWOOD (Variety)--Buzz Aldrin couldn't quite find the right words to
describe Touchstone's "Mission to
Mars."

The former astronaut (he moon-walked in 1969) was at the
picture's El Capitan premiere Monday and then commanded an after-party

table in the adjacent Masonic Hall.

Aldrin began by describing the film as "jam-packed full of
space..."
and then paused for a minute before
saying: "jam-packed full of space activities."

Not exactly the pull-quote the marketing department will be
highlighting in print ads, but still relatively
positive.

The former astronaut (and current novelist: his THE RETURN debuts
in
May) overall reaction to the film
was: "lacks a little reality at times."

"I'm afraid there's a few things in this movie that couldn't quite

happen," Aldrin said. "Having people in
space take their helmets off is wonderful drama but..."

At this point Aldrin made no attempt to finish the sentence. He
merely roled his eyes. Clearly this is an
astronaut who keeps his helmet firmly tightened while in outer space.

However, he did think "Mission" would be a big hit with UFO buffs
and
believers in alien life.

Among those believers at the premiere were stars Tim Robbins, Gary

Sinise, Don Cheadle, Kim Delaney
and Connie Nielsen; and guests including Wesley Snipes and Tim
Allen.
