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, a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny who finally handed in the keys and retired from his wanna be research university. The students continue to be naive but great people and the administrators continue to vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional without Eli's help. Eli notices from recent political developments that this behavior is not limited to administrators. His colleagues retain their curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they, or at least some of them occasionally heeded 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!
