Mankind will take to the air in flying machines, capable of traveling faster than sound, going from continent to continent in a matter of hours.
Some of those "flying machines" will even reach the moon!

Come now. This is a serious discussion. Let's not mar it with such frivolous flights of fancy.

No, it's true. The inhabitants of the Moon have already sent an invitation!

Eventually they will communicate with each other over a system of wires like our modern telegraph system, allowing people to send funny pictures of cats across the globe in seconds.


surely good sir, no gentleman would use an invention of that caliber in such a frivolous manner?

Indeed it is!
So many young people don't know of this crazy cult movie.
It is up to us to let them know of this great piece of cinematography.

A few more gems:
"... a flying saucer? You mean the kind from up there??"
"Yeah, either that or it's counterpart."
"Visits? That would indicate visitors!"
"I'll bet my badge we haven't seen the last of those weirdies."


Immortal dialogue worthy of Shakespeare.

In one of ed wood's movies( I think it was Plana 9) the McGuffin was "the Solaranoid Bomb" possessed by aliens - worse than either the atomic or hydrogen bomb.

While trying to jumpstart my car it occured to me where he probably got the name for this futuristic bomb. He probabaly asked friends to give him a name for a futuristic "atomic type bomb", and someone probably told him to just "call it the selenoid bomb"( ie 'having to do with electrons"). Decades later they really did start building "neutron bombs", so a "selenoid bomb" would be atleast superficially believable. But the word apparently morphed in Ed Wood's mind into "Solar-a-noid" -which is not in any dictionary ( maybe it means "annoyed by the sun"?).

Right towards the end there, America's going to ask gay people to thank us for allowing them to say "not me" when the military asks who's a sodomite.
