As you are a B-movie buff, I'm something, slightly, of a nephilim buff (is that a real term?), so naturally I run into things like that.D. G. D.

I'll be checking for it on Netflix tonight.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-36469907364593640262007-07-31T00:01:00.000-04:002007-07-31T00:01:00.000-04:00My favorite interpretation of the nephilim passage...My favorite interpretation of the nephilim passage is in the footnotes of the NAB, and oddly enough, I arrived at it independently: I don't consider the passage an historical fact, but regard it as a means of incorporating the stories of half-man, half-god heroes with which the original reader of Genesis would have been familiar; you know, all those pagan myths like Gilgamesh.<BR/><BR/>St. Justin Martyr and those others, including some biblical writers who make oblique references, were dependent on <EM>First Enoch</EM>, an apocryphal book worth reading. It's first part is "The Book of the Giants," which describes the fallen angels (the Watchers) who seduce human women and produce a race of cannibal giants who then become malignant spirits. The biblical book of Jude actually quotes <EM>First Enoch</EM> directly.<BR/><BR/>Fictional possibilities, ah yes. Do a search on Amazon for "Nephilim" and you will see the fictional possibilities. As you might say, the horror...the horror....<BR/><BR/>Oh, speaking of which, here's an utterly awful movie for you: The Sci Fi Channel's <EM>The Fallen Ones</EM>. Yet another nephilim story.D. G. D.

Once I recognized it, I got all excited and blurted out SIDEHACKERS! He didn't seem as impressed as I was.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-66785443519475625862007-05-05T21:51:00.000-04:002007-05-05T21:51:00.000-04:00Thanks to YouTube many of the films you're talking...Thanks to YouTube many of the films you're talking about are available in their entirety (in 10-minute chunks of course.) I'm a big MST3k fan so I am familiar with lots of these.

I'm open to suggestions on how such a list should be put together. Should I just pick my favorites? Maybe I should I choose a top representative from each sub-genre; you know, best Space Opera, best Juvenile Delinquent movie, best Rubber Suit, that type of thing. You might need to give me a little while to think about this one.EegahInchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13055947542189758831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34344059.post-79807350021170799802007-04-26T14:28:00.000-04:002007-04-26T14:28:00.000-04:00Hi fellow B-Movie lover...this is an awesome blog....Hi fellow B-Movie lover...this is an awesome blog.
