    Nicholas Meyer- director of "Time After Time"

    Nicholas Meyer, director of the 1979 movie "Time After Time" in which H.G. Wells and Jack the Ripper play a cat and mouse game through time travel, was just interviewed on the American late night radio program "Coast to Coast A.M." tonight by weekend host Ian Punnett, who is based in my home state of Minnesota. Too cool for words. Call me ignorant but I had no idea that that movie had the same director as "Star Trek 2: The Wrath of Kahn" (which totally rocked) as well as Star Trek 4 and 6, and also the early 1980s anti-nuclear war epic t.v. movie "The Day After." This show commonly talks about UFOs, the paranormal, conspiracy theories, etc. You just never know what's going to show up with them.

    I haven't actually seen "Time After Time." Might have to track it down. Meyer was describing a scene in which the Ripper, transported into the future, is watching something on t.v. and realizes out loud, "90 years ago I was a freak- today I'm an amature."

    Kensei,

    When you get time, definitely rent and watch Time After Time. It is second on my list of my top 3 Ripper movies. While it doesn't relate to Ripper case directly, David Warner does a good job at playing Jack and his characterization is very creepy and psychopathic.

    P.S. My other 2 favories are: From Hell (in last place) and Jack the Ripper
    (1988), whcih is my #1.
    I won't make any deals. I've resigned. I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed,de-briefed, or numbered!

          This movie was one of the catalysts to my interest in the Ripper case. Fantastic fantasy movie.
