Yep. Michael Rennie was brilliant. Funny how the message of the movie from 1951 is still very applicable.

In there somewhere is the difference between real science questioning evidence and outright paranoia that can be the science denier!

Mike Rennie left us at 61 and Klaatu was his character name.

Yep, great movie, if only the modern film makers spent more time on plots and dialogues than special effects some of the modern films would be an order of magnitude better. When it's cold and rainy some of those old black and white movies they play at the weekend remind me of just how dependant modern films are on special effects and whiz bang.

I suppose that is why we find Nordic Noir so compelling!

You do remember correctly, Fluffy One. Iirc I saw it at a cinema in Moonee Ponds around 1960. Used to go there on my own... who'd allow a 5 yo to go to a cinema alone today!! Spent many a day roaming the streets on my patma late fifties to early sixties. Saw many great movies... and caught many an amazing grasshopper and butterfly at the botanical gardens there, just next to St Monica's Catholic School - funny how that place turned out to be the most dangerous and traumatic place I went! (apologies for this stuff in this thread, probably belongs in movies or general threads... :-[ )

Couldn't have said it better, Spotted One.

If you are contributing to that social divide then maybe a free country isn't for you. 

Perhaps you could direct that comment to anti-vaxxers who, not content with having their views, seek to harm the general community with their actions.

I suggest that people holding " freedom marches" without wearing masks, deliberately making vaccination appointments with no intention of attending, and, on a personal note, a group forcing the closure of a local eye surgery last Thursday by refusing to wear masks, are the ones contributing to the social divide.

I cant find anything on the internet to this effect. At any rate, he has been to hell and back, and can barely tell one day from another. I'd be cutting him some slack on this one, assuming it's even true.
