Interesting enough, rather a bit I didn't know actually.  But it's written for 8 year olds. :sigh:
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Interesting, but yes, it kind of sounds like a badly VA'd Japanese animation meets Disney Kidumentary ;)

it really coulda done without the crash course in classic scifi.

Yeah, I felt a bit like it was distracting itself from its point during that bit...

Classic sci-fi?  That's possibly the worst movie ever made.

It's youTube, the biggest gift to conspiracy theorists and 'The End is Nigh' brigade since sandwich boards...

If I've learned one thing from watching Videos about 2012 and this whole 'Nibiru' fiasco it is that a wierd bloke with a sandwich board is a wierd bloke with a sandwich board, even if that board is animated and set to dramatic music.

Forbidden Planet isn't a B Movie and neither was The Day The Earth Stood Still.

either way its classic sci-fi. a movie need not be top rate to be classic. plan 9 was so bad that it was awesome, and id probibly watch it again if it ever came on tv. theres not a doubt in my mind that its not classic.

Exactly, those films attractiveness is not in their high quality, good acting or deep introspective scripts, in fact, the attraction is pretty much the lack of any of the above.

I watched Forbidden Planet last week and got dragged under a bus by my lecturer for misquoting him. Apparently, he said that the acting was cheesy, not that it received mixed reception.

Forbidden Planet is the origin point for Modern Sci-Fi Blockbusters.

Was Star Wars partly inspired by Forbidden Planet?

Probably, though i think that C-3PO was visually heavily inspired from Metropolis.
Star Wars takes it's inpiration from a lot of sources.
