(By the way...It's a mess in anybody's mind!<br />(By the way, I typed "the way" twice by accident. I'm not completely dodgy)<br />Oh, and Charlie, I was in the Air Cav not in Germany but in the National Guard in Iowa.<br />I was a gas-pumper. Fuel-handler. At the end of a two-week training exercise in Minnesota the pilots offered us free rides. I said, "No way, man." Then they called me rude names and bullied me into getting on one of those horrible things. <br />There was no door on that helicopter! You could look out and see the curve of the Earth. I mean, we were strapped in, but...still.<br />I am no Human Fly.

"Out of ammo..." Whatever we saved was surely spent rescuing Private Ryan.<br /><br />The Bitba gang insisted I read the Defenders - Avengers Evil-eye Cross Over (Like Avengers 118)and I finally did a few months ago. <br /><br />One would think I would recall the story line since I read it 2 months ago, not 45 years ago but I guess it just didn't stick with me. The issues were divided up with Defenders fighting Avengers to secure pieces of the evil eye. I think Avengers were tricked by Loki into thinking Defenders were evil so as to prevent Defenders from securing the Evil Eye components and thus indirectly undoing Dormammu's plan. Well, what the hell... it's a mess in my mind now.

I have read that the Orwell estate made some problem over the rights, and that the DVD people decided to leave it till the novel enters the public domain - so maybe it'll turn up after 2019. The BBC made another version in 1965 which was thought lost, then found in the Library of Congress. You can actually see clips from that at the BFI website, if you're a member!<br /><br />P.S.
