No messages, huh? I discovered BO only last year, and joined the
Internet only last week....don't blame me! And I've seen only four
BO efforts - TNES, DARYL, COCOON 1 & 2. Now who's gonna tell me how
to get hold of more, Frankenweenie especially? And I'm not
Stateside. Come on, help!

Me, I'm looking for a site to have a serious discussion on facts &
opinions about BO's movies. If that's too boring, let me know and
I'll unsubscribe pronto. For instance....

1 - was it coincidence that the same eye-test-card was used in DARYL
and Cocoon 1? And how come that Daryl was allowed to memorise it
WRONG?

2 - did BO's Directors tease him from one movie to the next, or copy
each other's work? The test-card, yes, but was it pure accident that
baseball was a strength in Daryl and a weakness in Cocoon 2? And did
he really, aged 12, have such control of his accent that he could
appear preppy in Daryl and hill-billy in Cocoon 1? And the
sweatshirts with a coloured neck-band; and the endless tracksuit
tops. What was going on, if anything?

3 - talking of voice....could BO play the piano? If not, his
simulation of playing in DARYL was remarkable. But my guess, from
the musicality of his voice and his sense of timing, was that he was
pretty damn musical. Anyone know anything? And what pieces was
he 'playing' on the piano? I'd be prepared to practise them myself,
for old time's sake.

4 - Why did 'Continuity' have so many probs in every movie with BO's
hair? Style could change three times in a scene. And why do we
notice the fact (those of us that do)?

5 - Joey Cramer did an excellent job of making FLIGHT OF THE
NAVIGATOR an enjoyable movie. But can't you just hear the way BO
would have voiced some of the lines, and wouldn't it have made for a
better-focused movie? What do you think?

I could say more. This BO kid was probably a seriously good actor -
he'd lost his poise and presence by Cocoon 2 - but we should not
take for granted what we've got. So don't get paranoid about some
stupid SOB who tormented your site in the past. Let's get analyzing
all the stuff that's there to be enjoyed.

Come back soonest.....DUOBOLETI
