#20 – If we were going to send _The Day the Earth Stood Still_ into space, why in the name of Gort would we want to send the mediocre REMAKE instead of the Robert Wise classic 1951 version. Especially when the remake has the aliens wanting to destroy human civilization insteadf of containing it. Don’t give the ETs ideas, people!

#34 – I can now no longer make snide remarks about people bringing loaded guns aboard spaceships in movies (\*It! The Terror from Beyond Space, Robinson Crusoe on Mars) – the Russians have already done it.
