Ive never seen that movie myself but it maybe a version of those cool little glow tubes you buy from fishing stores. |

horizons is the devil! 
PB had some really cool stuff in there, i was actually surprised. the best part in the whole movie...where VD (the actor, not THE VD some of you may be thinking of showed up in the old guys chair...but was anyone actually shocked at that big revelation that came later in the movie? sorry just ranting a little later

i hated the alien creatures on pitch black. they were well animated, but were horribly modeled. it's head looked like boba fett's ship or something.  why not just go down to a local toystore and look for some of those glow-in-the-dark rods?
nice and cheap, and should come in a few sizes? i dont know exaclty what your local toystores carry |

What about those things they give out at amusement parks. Those glowing necklaces. Like the rods but skinnier and flexible. |

i thought about finding a formula for glowstlcks but i've got 3/4in tubing and i like the idea of being able to turn them on so the electro luminesent wire sounds good if it's not to expensive. al though i would like to know the formula for glowslick or other non toxic luminecent paint. |
