Yup, that must be it!<br />I was a big Rice fan, but a with many successful novelists, I think the quality's gone done a bit in recent years. I like the aliens in "Aliens" and "Predator." As those aren't exactly "nvasion" stories, I'll go with "Independence Day" and "Mars Attacks!"<br />Other good Vs: "V for Vendetta" and "Vertigo." <br />Fun post! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030453069845909403.post-44677485086803778012013-04-25T20:19:25.771+10:002013-04-25T20:19:25.771+10:00Big hair and shoulder pads - funny!
