Tonight Svengoolie’s movie is This Island Earth. Classic Science Fiction, one of the first of the “Hey maybe there are Good Guys too out there amongst the Evil Monsters” genre. Big shout-out to Exeter. Svengoolie will have a ton of trivia to go over. That will be the best part for me. I’ve introduced this film to countless friends over the years and frankly the effects, color and scenery are far superior to the dialogue and characters. So much so that should I watch this alone I will keep the sound off. It’s STILL a good movie.
“The past tempts us, the present confuses us, and the future frightens us. And our lives slip away, moment by moment, lost in that vast terrible in-between”. Centauri Emperor Turhan (with a grinning nod to J. Michael Straczynski – my hero)
