Where does this quotation come from, and what does it mean?
I’m guessing a boomer-era kids’ sci-fi TV show or movie.

It’s the last line from “The Thing from Another World” (1951)
THAT was quick!
Thank you!
Keep watching the skis…er, skies.
Something similar in The Day the Earth Stood Still, I think. Something like “Look to your skies… a warning will come from your skies…”
That’s not the best line from that movie, though. The best line is,
That movie’s a blast.
Is that the fabled film in which James Arness (Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke) portrays a malevolent giant sapient alien carrot? :eek:
which revolve…
The wording might be slightly different, but isn’t this what Jack Horkheimer (y’know, the “Star Hustler”) says in each one of his mini-episodes about astronomy that used to be found on PBS? I used to catch him every week while watching Doctor Who back in my late '80s college days. (Oy, I’m giving away both my age and my nerdiness!)
Jack Horkheimer says “Keep looking up!” at the end of each episode. They’re still being aired on some PBS stations - now in its 30th year! He’s still got his silly child-like enthusiasm and bad toupee (and great theme music).
my second-most favorite movie of all time. i’ve lost track of how many times i’ve watched it. like ‘raiders of the lost ark,’ i have much of the dialogue memorized.
what’s number one, you ask?
‘the quatermass xperiment,’ aka ‘the creeping unknown’ here at home.
that one holds the record. at this point i’d estimate some 50 viewings over the years. i loves me that movie!
Have you seen the sequels? For my money, they’re better: Quatermass 2 AKA enemy from Space and Quatermass and the Pit AKA 50 Million Years to Earth (not to be confused with Harryhausen’s Fifty Million Miles to Earth). IIRC, the DVDs now contain the original British serials they’re based on.
Ignore The Quatermass Conclusion, AKA Quatermass.
About the time the remake of The Thing came out, they had a reunion of the stars of the 1951 version. It was reported in the magazine Cinefantastique. They served a Carrot Cake.
And, just for the record, the line about "an intelligenmt carrot’ wasn’t meant seriously. Invasion by intelligent plants had been done in sf literature before, but wasn’t in the campbell story this was based on.
