  • Anyone seen,

    this movie yet?
    I always liked Keanu Reeves, but I question his agent. Tough to re-do a well done classic.
    I wonder what Micheal Rennie or Robert Wise would think?

    Just saw it...

    I preferred the original, but Keanu Reeves does a good Klaatu. Gort is the same shape, just 80 feet taller. it's worth seeing, I'd give it a B- It is not the 'Godfather' of science fiction film, by any means.

    Not yet....

    but I defiantly will.

    Just seeing the advertisements for it was enough for me to put the original one on my Netflix's list.

    I cut my teeth on those old science fiction movies!

    There was an error rendering this rich post.

  • I preferred

    the original too Paul, but as a sentimentalist I went anyway.

    I wonder if/when they`ll re-do Teenage Werewolf?, remember Micheal Landon(Little Joe) in that one?

    When i was a little kid I watched this movie by myself and it scared the sh@t out of me! I only remember bits and pieces. I even got a DVD of the original and I am ashamed to say I haven't taken the time to watch it.
  • Ed , Ed , Ed ,,,,

    C,mon now, nothing to be scared-of.
    Remember the original was almost 57 years ago!
    Watch your DVD of the original, its better.

    Maybe it is time to watch it and then go see the new movie
  • Perhaps,

    but I think you`ll be disappointed in the new version.
    BTW-If you watch the old version closely, Aunt Bea is in there too!

    Sheesh,,,, get a life!
    Perhaps I sound sarcastic, but do you have any licensed qualifications in this industry, or are you just a handy guy with some steam heating experience?
    Either way, I enjoy reading your posts!

  • self-taught

    self-taught by living with the same 54 1-pipe rads, and a succession of 4 boilers [from coal to gas] for 62 years.however the real learning curve intensified when i came here for help, during "sea-trials" of boiler #4 and its problems!

    my actual training is in mechanical [automobile] engineering, so i was able to adapt--nbc

    That movie (the original) still scares the crap out of me.
    Retired and loving it.
