Hee! Yay!
You know, I think the fandom for the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai: Across the Eighth Dimension must be one of the smallest in all of skiffydom. Even smaller than the fandom for OldSchool Who, in America, before PBS started airing the episodes.
I've come to this conclusion because I just got the idea in my head to make an icon out of a quote from the movie, to use when I complain here about how someone, somewhere, has gotten accessibility wrong -- like when they a flight of steps in front of an elevator, or when the only wheelchair accessible doors to a university cafeteria leads to two very heavy doors that must always be locked (both of which I've encountered). And that quote is:
It's like one of our thermopods ... but it's a very bad design.
So I did a Google Image search for screencaps of the thermopod interior, and found ...0 (zero) hits. Nor could I find the above quote in any online archive.
But I did find the Official Banzai Institute Homepage!
Yay!!
Traffic there is light (the latest letter in the official forum is from almost two years ago). But it atent dead yet -- there's a message there from Dr. Banzai about the election of Obama.
(I just have to tell the people who don't know me as long as some other people: this movie was a major Mother-Daughter Bonding Agent, and provided inside family jokes from the time we both popped into the theater to see it on a whim, while we were in town, until each of my parents' deaths)
So I have to take a break fromnot writing my BADD post to share the goodness.
