I remember seeing this years ago. Aside from the music, my take away from the flick was a great disbelief in anything arcane or mystic. (I'd been flirting with that for a couple of years.) The movie seemed to say, "There's nothing in the dark that isn't in the light."
I can't say why I thought the movie was concerned with that.
Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they occasionally heed his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

Oh, man, now you're going to make me pull out the old laserdisc of this movie and watch it. I love it!
