Well, folks, the movie indus
try has once again disproved a
short-lived belief: a good spe
cial effects crew cannot make a
movie bearable, let alone good
Saturn 3 is the type of movie to
see when you have nothing, and
I mean nothing, better to do.
Although it was not offensive,
it was not particularly enter
taining or enlightening Maybe
that's my fault, though; I still
hold the opinion that movies
should carry some type of
worthy message. "How is
Earth?" Kirk Douglas asks.
"Hungry" came the answer.
This two line, futuristic predic
tive philosophy was as deep as
the picture went.
The rest of the film dwelled,
rather dully at that, on the
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

p.m. Friday through Sunday, March 21-23, in Sternberger Auditorium.

1962, when it won both the Tony Award and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.

Pa., as George, David Jewett of Atlanta as Nick and Li? Allen of Carney's Point, N.J., as Honey.

Richardson Prouty of the Guilford Drama Department and from Bobby Bodford of the Barn
Dinner Theater.

Shades of Alien! Is Hollywood
THAT burned out? Only one
slightly impressive feat kept
Saturn 3 from becoming Alien -
Part II: the disarmed, disman

were finishing up the Humpty

Kirk Douglas, a well-known
and fine actor of three decades,
found himself sprouting words
of jealousy and philosophies of a
drugged-out Earth. He also
seemed to be finding Farrah
Fawcett a lot. In the bed. In the
shower. Everywhere. Really,
Kirk. You should just calmly
fade away into film greatness,
rather than cancelling yourself
out with this absurd film.
All in all, do not see Saturn 3
unless you are bored out of your
