Bruce,

I was saddened by your editorial this week. Not by anything you have done of course. I have purchased Tapes & DVD’s from you in the past and they were always top notch and of outstanding quality. I cannot believe this Humphries guy was going to try and capitalize on your business in this manner. I was disappointed to hear about Jean-Noel Bassior and her connection.

I just want to say I read your editorial every Sunday and your website is great. I wish I could buy more DVD’s at this time to help support your efforts.

I do not know you personally but you are a genuine person.
Keep our Space Age & 50’s heroes alive!

Best Regards

NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS WITH HELD BY REQUEST

You're comments (and the ones below) are very much appreciated. BTW, I still haven't heard from Humphries regarding the defective DVD he sent me. -- Bruce/Swapsale

Hi,

My name is Steve Sullivan and I'm an independent filmmaker living and working in Wales, UK. (If you are interested, my work can be seen on my website www.stevesullivan.co.uk)

I just wanted to say thanks for keeping on plugging with your fantastic website Swapsale.com I'm an avid reader and try and check in once every few weeks for a relaxing dip into whatever mine of arcane, cool oddities you've assembled. 

Any website that combines sexy aliens, steam toys, old movie posters, early animation ephemera, 3D, Bettie Page and comics is just perfect by me. You cover many areas that I love but always manage to show me something I haven't seen before, and its not often someone manages to do that.

So thanks, and keep up the great work.

Steve

Steve's got a cool website.  Check it out -- Bruce/Swapsale

Bruce,

 

Rocky Jones is my second favorite of the '50s space shows, after Tom Corbett.  I prefer it to Space Patrol, though I know that is a minority opinion.  What I'd like to see is the complete Rocky Jones series on DVD transferred from high quality film prints.  I bought the complete series on DVD a while back, but was disappointed when it turned out to be video captures from TV.  The picture quality was okay but nothing special and it even had the network logo in the corner of the picture.  Given what it cost, I was not at all satisfied.  I have all the Alpha Video releases of Rocky Jones but they vary in quality a good deal.  As I mentioned, Alpha's Crash of Moons is pretty good but some of the other Rocky DVDs are mediocre, to say the least.  And I must admit I prefer the individual episodes to the "movies" like Crash edited together from the episodes.  If you ever get the whole series of Rocky to put on DVD, I would very much like to help with that project.

me thinks you're a little too harsh on seth rogan... though he may not be the ideal pick as GH, he's not without talent... he is funny... maybe not all the time... but very good in Knocked Up & Pineapple Express.

It spreads like fire, everyone, diplomats, monarchs, Presidents, all dressed as space cadets!

Cadet Laser responded to my editorial of 10/05/08 with an editorial of his own.  I disagree with him on this issue (there's no doubt in my mind that the Milton Freedman philosophy of deregulation is entirely responsible for our economic meltdown) but here's a link that will allow you to make up your own mind:

My philosophy is best summed up by the quote below.

I read about the UFO Report and it concerns me enough that I must express my concern based on what I know.

 

First, the "model" for the UFO thing is that of "grays' and abductions. This model was created by the Betty and Barney Hill story. Two things here.

1 In the lat 1970's Alan Hendries in THE UF0 INVESTIGATOR'S HANDBOOK reports that in an interview with Betty Hill.that he did, she repeatedly pointed to the empty sky saying that there ere UFO's flying there

2. in 1992 or 3 on his talk show on WSAR 1480 AM, John Greenwood, show host and news reporter said that he did an interview with Betty Hell and she kept pointing to "UFO";s in a sky that was empty

 

It is apparent, from two separate sources, that she is psychotic and spreading falsehoods. Since that has become the "model" for the UFO movement today, anong with some really nutbag stuff, like astral projection and "paranormal" and much of what was founded by Helena Blavatski, who's material on the Aryans was incorporated into the beilefs of  Erst Roem and the Nazis, it were better that it not be spread

 

On the Solar Guard BBS our own "Cosmic Kev" reported that he saw a taped interview in which two members of the original Adamski party said that they cooked the whole thing up based on seeing THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL

 

Flying saucer group studues are classic works of mass hysteria and cult behavior in Socioligy and Abnormal/Clinical Psychology

 

The whole thing issuspect enough for me to advise persons to stay many many light years away from it. The deleterious effect it has on one's credibioity leads me to say "don't touch that tar baby"

 

Failing that let me recommend two things. Before you post anything

1. Consolt with Rory Coker

2. make use of my anti-urban legens board

 

http://cockpit.spacepatrol.us/bsboard.html

 

Getting involved with this kind of thing can do a real job on one's credibility and there are times that one's credibility is all one has

 

 

I stand by my original statement (see Editorial dated 4-20-08).  While it does not strike me as impossible that advanced life forms from other solar systems are visiting us, none of what I post in UFO Report should be taken at face value.  Skepticism is always warranted with this kind of thing. (One of the videos I posted this week is clearly a phony but I posted it anyway because, well, it looks cool.)  Debunking individual cases like Barney and Betty Hill's or Adamsky's does not invalidate all the sighting ever made, many of which have been reported by airline pilots, some of which have been reported by multiple simultaneous witnesses spread over a wide area.  I myself, on two separate occasions, have seen things in the sky I could not explain.  I hesitate to call them UFO's because the term has, in and of itself, come to mean "flying saucer."  I opt for the term "OFO's," for Odd Flying Objects.  One last thing:  I was twelve years old when I got Adamsky's book.  I knew immediately he was a fraud.  -- Bruce David/Swapsale

Good Morning Bruce,

Just got in from Chicago and had this very nice Commander Corry shirt in my in-box.

Hey buddy, it’s great and I really appreciate it.  Hats off to your boy who’s not in the T-shirt business.  This is very cool.

And listen, if it took 20 shots to get just the right “picture” - that’s okay.  It’s the business right?!!!  Actually, you look very “commanding” decked out in shirt and belt!

I think this will be a very popular item for you.

Thanks again my friend,

Thanks so much for bringing this one [the Space Patrol shirt] back into the Galaxy! It fills a huge gap in Space Patrol gear, which we've all missed. Remember the guy who says in the Space Patrol book that he wore his “long-sleeved Commander Corry T-shirt” until it fell apart? Hey, now he can get a re-issue. And it looks so cool on the hanger, too, like it's a uniform. Oops, I got carried away... Anyway, you're the best. Thanks!

Thank goodness there's no fire at my place
this year! My place has already been on the
news twice for devastating fires, in the past
5 years. One of them scorched about 28 acres,
and was held at bay on the ridge directly over my house
(we were evacuated). The other started just 4 lots
down the street from my house (fortunately the wind
blew the flames away from my home).

It seems Southern California is getting
hit by fire storms every couple years, now.
With Santa Anna winds, El Nino rains, & killers bees.
It's starting to feel like we are living
in biblical times or something.
