I saw that thread some years back, during the time Wikipedia was wise enough to include Fivehouse among Michael Lonsdale's "real-life" (whatever that is) credits. Good wors, those guys--it's always guys in this "hobby"--and their frozen-nosed snobbery is enough to make a humble boy like myself shake his head in dismay. The films (and other accompanying, crossover merchandise) of Alan Fivehouse helped me through the tough times and elevated my spirits during the course of many years. I'm sure everyone reading this feels the same. 
The thing about ALAN FIVEHOUSE is that I always pattered its evolutionary satire after the complaining and nuances featured by the posts (and posters) on this board.
The "stitching" of the "Brown Box" was inspired by the FSM Superman boxed set stitching debacle that unraveled for the most part on this board.

Spent last weekend at the WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN CON in Fort Myers Fl signng autographs and taking WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN questions in the special side panel discussion of The Apples of August. Shatner couldn't make it, though he did send a recorded "Thank You" message in which he briefly touched on his famous "The apples are my son!" line from the film while he absentmindedly fondled a CD (remember those?) copy of The Transformed Man. He even mentioned Max B. by name!
Interestingly/infuriatingly enough, in every interview I've read or seen (and they're all on YouTube), Shatner has completely denied reusing his "The apples are my son!" for a similar emotional scene six years later in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. I tend to believe that Shatner inadvertently plagiarized himself or at the very least, truly thought he was being staggeringly original for his "Klingon bastard, you killed my son!" shtick.
Once again, for those unfortunates who missed it:
THE APPLES OF AUGUST (1978; TVM; NBC)
Directed by Jeannot Szwarc.
After losing their son to leukemia, a middle-aged couple (William Shatner, Brenda Vaccaro) discovers an apple tree growing in the middle of their fourth floor apartment, bringing comfort to all who eat its fruit. George Dzundza; Joan Hackett; Gary Burghoff; David Speilberg.
