Essential features of a Fifties sci-fi movie

Thanks, Treacherous. :slight_smile:

The sister planet to Mon Calamari I believe.

“It’s a trap!”

In the case of the Krill, do you mean baleen?

I think we’ve filtered all the jokes out of my misspelling that we can.
You guys are a bunch of Jonas!
:slight_smile:

Besides, the most important thing about Forbidden Planet is not how you spell Krell, but “What’s a swim suit?”

I’m having a whale of a good time.

You have to sleep sometime.
I’m calling my travel agent about Ohio.
Or buying The Twickster truffles…

:slight_smile:

A really cheesy, cheap rocket ship.

A thigh-high stream that people struggle thru, agonizingly slowly.

A “hard” good-looking dame with lots of eye liner who you never see again.

Stirofoam rocks.

A futuristic home that no one’s ever imagined; always belongs to the villian.

A good-looking guy and a plain-looking guy. The good-looking guy gets killed off early and we’re forced to throw our lot with the plain one who has all the ideas; a lesson in reality.

A red sunset or sunrise.

Music with lots of sharps.

I have to respectfully disagree. Mrs. R and I watched this just last night, and our scoring of it is as follows:

Helicopter: Yes; our hero hires a helicopter to first survey the site of the “meteor” impact.
Science lecture: Surely the famous discussion about most murders being conducted when it’s 92 degrees outside counts as a science lecture!
Scream-and-fall-down woman: Two or three really good screams; she doesn’t fall down, true, but I’m saying Yes.
Stock footage: Nope
Voice-over: Yes, at the very beginning; a description of the peaceful little desert town.

So the wife and I rate it 4/5. incidentally, it’s a lovely little movie, with some genuinely poetic moments.

Yes she does. She falls down when first threatened by the ant.

I believe having Leonard Nimoy in it should bump it up a point. :slight_smile:

“And if they had contacted their local police, most of this could have been avoided.”

OK, let’s settle this logically. When her knee touched the ground, were her either of her breast points over the goal line?

She gets bonus points for giving orders to the men: burn it, burn it all!!

They were over my goal line. She was a knockout.
