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.

Post by: Angelus on July 12, 2010, 02:36:17 pm: Hey Forbidden Planet wasn't THAT bad! Same goes for The day the Earth stood still.
Title: Re: Venus: Death of a Planet
Post by: Liberator on July 12, 2010, 02:49:05 pm: Forbidden Planet isn't a B Movie and neither was The Day The Earth Stood Still.
Title: Re: Venus: Death of a Planet
Post by: Nuke on July 12, 2010, 07:36:59 pm: 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.

Post by: Flipside on July 12, 2010, 07:38:00 pm: 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.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on July 13, 2010, 07:29:28 am: 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.

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

Post by: Liberator on July 19, 2010, 10:58:34 am: Everything was inspired by Forbidden Planet. If you pay attention there's a precursor for the Transporter, the Captain/First Officer/Doctor triumvirate and even the Captain getting the girl, and that's just Star Trek.

Post by: Nuke on July 19, 2010, 04:41:54 pm: i always considered starwars the dumping ground of sci-fi. its the one thing i dont like about starwars actually. it just has so much stuff in it that it just seems bloated. i cant remember if i saw either forbidden planet or metropolis, but im always looking to see if they come up on one of the classic movie channels (they never do). maybe i should just steal em.
