TODAY IS: The first day of the Millennium Philcon, the 59th World Science Fiction Convention, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Worldcon -- held in a different city around the planet each year -- is the Superbowl of SF cons, promoting all forms of SF and fantasy in literature and the arts (see www.milphil.org for more info). Few films get SF, the fans, and their world right... and 1999's GALAXY QUEST is one of them, hitting just the right notes of pathos and respect in its tale of fans, the SF show they love, and the actors who barely tolerate the adoration.
