There are so many other sci-fi movies from the era that are much more fun, that I don't have the patience to revisit Day the Earth Stood Still on a regular basis. Thanks for visiting!

I don't own it and I have not seen it in years. I don't think it's for the same reasons as you, but I just don't love it as much as other 50s sci-fi. John L.

As every good parent knows, you can't get a child to behave with threats-- you have to help the child want to behave. ;-)Brian Schuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463833554200343247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846293972880517466.post-52026181466349676792013-04-03T17:08:06.224-07:002013-04-03T17:08:06.224-07:00Wonderful post!

I get what you're saying about its "highfalutin' message" but I'm a sucker for it. Love the film AND Mr. Rennie. <br /><br />I was force-fed '50's sci-fi by my older brother and became a fan by default. Soon I became a lover of the cheesiness but I've never seen "The Cosmic Man" and love the trailer. Awesome stuff. Super happy to have landed on your blog, by the way. LOVE!!<br /><br />AuroraCitizen Screenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11596338896095275116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846293972880517466.post-82384364665235340662012-11-19T12:51:31.510-08:002012-11-19T12:51:31.510-08:00So, you're firmly in the camp of an alien who ...So, you're firmly in the camp of an alien who wants to incinerate the entire earth if a few human beings get too rowdy?

I'm always looking for intelligent science fiction, a rarity among 1950s science fiction movies.dmappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17020497724406404667noreply@blogger.com
