8. "Get Over IT"

I could give a shit less about what you hate. Some folks had the ability to turn the channel while I was writing about what was happening.

[Brotherjohn]

10. Yes. You guys are being hard on unfrigginreal. There IS the "Edit"...

... function, you CAN (and did) ask for clarification (though some not so nicely), and everyone here is NOT a cube rat.

Though I am, so anything further on what's going on?

11. It seems to be over

two rockets fired into the shreaton. that was followed by us machine gun fire. shortly after that there was what was called a controlled explosion. it was probably a close range attack. thats about it. casualities unknown

7. Klaatu has landed on the mall

And is sending Gort on a destructive tear.

13. in the story on which the movie is based,

called "Farewell to the Master," Klaatu (the robot) IS the master and the organic is the servant. Very cool twist.

[Ezlivin]

14. Thanks for that info

I love reading the book before I see the movie, but I'm not old enough to have pulled that off with this movie.

A true science-fiction classic. If remade today, it could be a very powerful argument against the endless warfare we find ourselves engaged in.

19. It's true!

[WoodrowFan]

20. nice photo shop

nice photoshop, one of my fav movies, thanks.

[Ezlivin]

I have a couple of places I'd like to send Gort.
