...yet again!

I've lost track of how many times I've seen it over the years.

Klaatu barada nikto!

That's how you order Gort not to vaporize Earth.

Hubby's translation

February 13 2008, 11:31 PM 

According to what happens in the movie after she says "Klaatu barada nikto", it must mean "close your visor, pick up Patricia Neal and take her into the space ship, locate Klaatu's body with some sort of tracking device, leave the ship, locking Patricia inside, go to the jail, burn a hole in the wall, retrieve Klaatu's body and bring it back to the ship, put him in the bring-ya-back-to-life machine, bring him back to life and then step aside."

It's obviously a very compact language.

Ya gotta see the movie, Barbara

It's a classic 1951 sci-fi film with a strong anti-war message.

Michael Rennie!

February 15 2008, 10:11 PM 

I loved that movie and saw at on TV (Friday or Saturday Night At The Movies) over and over again. I see there's a remake afoot http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0970416/>

I used to think David Bowie would be a good Michael Rennie replacement for a remake.

Hmmm...

I'm usually pretty skeptical about "remakes". We'll see if they do it right.

We tend to call retreads/remakes/redos/covers

February 16 2008, 11:28 AM 

"Unnecessary remakes". 'Nuff said.

In the same vein...

February 16 2008, 2:03 PM 

...ya know what really bugs me? When somebody takes it upon him/herself to write a "sequel" to a novel originally written by another author. Some babe wrote a "sequel" to Gone with the Wind quite a few years ago (I think Scarlett moves to Ireland...yeah, right, as if she would do that!). No way I'd read that. The only way I'd read a sequel to GWTW if is Margaret Mitchell came back to life and wrote one.

Re: remake

In a 21st century version, Klaatu and Helen would probably get it on and spawn something really scary...like Rosie O'Donnell.

There seems to be no way to stop her. Klaatu barada nikto seems doomed.
