.."ding dong ding dong"Bombs are falling,Avon calling.....I've seen this film at least a dozen times or more and never seem to make it all the way thru..I know its good and all..but.."Yez!.I imagine they'll come a bombing alright!.."
Chris,
Tabonga and I were just discussing that very fact! Great movies like this can sometimes be better appreciated in small doses, hence a batch of awesome pictures and about 3 minutes of sound is all you need to literally, 'get the picture!'
Eegah!!
i'll have to watch this one again, i don't hardly remember none of this stuff!...
you really get confused if you doze off during it..what with all its time warps and all
I'll never forget the science-fiction film class I had in college. After they showed this, the entire class gave the professor a massive dirty look after he sarcastically asked, "So, how did you like it?" BORING AS HELL, with nonstop humanistic speeches .....
This has been re-released on DVD in a colorized version which actually looks pretty good. They gave it a color palette like the old sci-fi pulps.
This is a great movie. The times and 'tudes may have changed, but this is still a tremendous accomplishment.
