How cute!!! What a darling little boy DC!! Great costume too.



TIS

DC,

That is just precious.

Had we known! Had we taken it all seriously! Had there been school counselors at the time! How did he fall through the cracks? The heartache and heartbreak: it all could have been avoided. But, alas, what did they say?: he'll grow out of it; he's so cute; he's so prescious. Madonne!

You did!

And now YOU are teaching the future of our country!!

What a cute kid!!

What happened to ya??

Obviously not! That's a great photo!

But I took one look at those claws and fangs you were sporting, and immediately realized I had the exact same set when I was very young. I think they were the first ones I ever had. The nails were orange, and the teeth were soft plastic. I used to use mine for werewolf fangs, and wore them over my bottom teeth. Boy, talk about memories! You're almost tempting me to look through my old photo albums again!

"Bevare!"

Signor V.

You and this place happened to me!

Then you should look like that picture NOW!

This being said by my brother from anotha motha?

You got the looks.... I got the brains.

And neither of us got the hair!

I gave up mine 20 years ago for Lent.

It never came back.

"The Day the Earth Stood Still" is being re-made and will be released next year. Keanu Reeves is starring.

And the geeks that won't shut up about the Rob Zombie HALLOWEEN remake fail to cry about this real disaster waiting to happen.

I mean, from the director of HELLRAISER: INFERNO, we're boned.

SV has some hair for ya remember?

Is that true? I hope so. I've been wondering why noone had ever remade it.

Very coincidentally I saw that bit of news on tv today. I looked it up on IMDb and there's a confirmation but they don't have many real details.

Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956)


Many believe that the premise of "aliens" taking over bodies in the movie was symbolic of the times when paranoia about communism taking over the world was running rampant.

And not for nothing, but how many damn times are they going to re-make this movie?

I've always been a fan of the original.

Whatever you do, don't go to sleep. And don't scream!

"I never knew the meaning of fear until I kissed Becky..."

"And so I ran. I ran! I ran! I ran! I ran as little Jimmy Grimaldi ran the other day."

I haven't seen the re-cut version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers that removed the studio-imposed prologue and epilogue and brought the film back to what was originally intended.

Anyone see this version and have any comments?

Is this the version that now turns up on cable?

(And I am in agreement - enough with the remakes already!)

Signor V.

I agree, enough of the remakes. Why is it this movie they choose to keep redoing? I loved the original. The remake with Donald Sutherland was good as well,but enough is enough.

I hadn't heard about a rermake of "The Day The Earth Stood Still." I can imagine that would be very modernized with today's technology. I loved the original, even though I'm kind of picky about what Sci-Fi movies I like.


TIS

I can't wait to see Gort. I just hope they don't "modernize" him like in I, Robot or similar flicks.

Does anyone remember Invaders from Mars (1953)? This was another one of those movies I saw when I was very young and loved it. I wonder how good it would be to see it again.

I watched it with my brother and the babysitter and my brother got scared from the scenes that showed the invaders melting the walls inside the tunnels with ray guns. I guess the bubbling oozing effect really scared him.

I THINK I remember that one, Blibble. There was something about little pieces of plastic being inserted into the back of people's necks, right?

How about Invasion of the Saucermen and The Beast with Five Fingers?

Peter Laurie & J. Caroll Nash, right? I remember it well. One of my cult classic favorites!

I'll do you one worse... it really doesn't fit this category because it came out in 1972, but who could forget the unbelievably bad, "The Thing with Two Heads" (starring Ray Milland and Rosie Grier).

Milland played a really rich bigot who needed a transplant and ended up getting his head attached to Rosie Grier's body (while Grier was still in it).

Ha ha ha ha!! Yes, I remember SC. That was embarrassing, especially for an actor of Milland's stature. What the hell were they thinking? When I was much younger they use to show that movie more, but haven't seen it listed in the tv guide in years and years.


TIS

Right?? Milland was a great actor (his role in "The Lost Weekend" was one of the best performances I've EVER seen) and to see him in a movie like this was certainly disheartening.

He must've needed money BADLY.
