The Banzai Institute:
"It was 35 years ago today that Dr. B. Banzai, while conducting a supersonic test of his remarkable Jet Car, breached the dimensional barrier with his experimental Oscillation Overthruster and made contact with the 8th dimension. Congratulations to Dr. Banzai, as well as to the filmmaking team that documented this extraordinary event."

I still have both my novel copies and the DVD, thankfully.
sighs wistfully
I need a new copy of the book, the front cover has fallen off.
And Corgi and I saw it IN the theater. 
I wanted to, but my family was on a drive from NJ to Florida and no one else wanted to, and my parents were unwilling to let a 15 year old go to a movie theatre in Savannah, GA alone.
Awww
I only WISH I had seen it with you guys. I did see it with Jim, in theater, a couple of times.
may have skipped class several times to see it in the theatre.
Atta girl!
