| The scene in Forbidden Planet [1956] where we see how truly advanced the Krell were. The Krell were an extremely advanced civilization that built a huge machine, a cube 20 miles on each side (that's 32 kilometers on each side for most people on Earth).

| They typically assess children for Autism. I was about 60 years older than their usual customer! :) And while some parts of the assessment process appeared to be designed for young children I didn't see any reason my age would've invalidated the result.

| This is ridiculous...why isn't a convicted man.....behind bars ? In this case because they decided it was enough to just permanently mark him as a felon.

Pretty terrible seventies horror movie in which genetically altered rabbits in rural Arizona turn into carnivorous giants bent on killing humans. So bad it's good! I agree. It isn't very good and I enjoy it. |
