Awesome, I have too see Forbidden Planet, it's a definate pre-cursor of Star Trek: The Original Series.

Tonight's movie: "The Birds", starring Walter Pidgeon.

Destination Moon is the father of 2001: A Space Odyssey? hahahha 2001 has nothing to do really with the other. It's about alien-assisted evolution. The older one is about... going to the moon. Maybe that's why Kubrick never admitted it, Spielberg?

@TruthSurge i'm pretty sure he meant it from a technical sense as opposed to the story. i could be wrong. because it was trying to be as scientifically accurate and believable as possible, as opposed to using goggles as a breathing apparatus.

[lamecasuelas2]

@TruthSurge well ,perhaps spielber is refering to the scientific kind of reality,that bot films have,but,who knows

[Eddiesix]

You can't deny the great contribution of these movies to films today. My favorite sci-fi movie of the fifties was "War Of The Worlds" (1953). I also loved "When Worlds Collide". These movies were just fun, fun, fun!!

I like George Lucas he has an ideal

for C3PO of the Starwars series.

I am a big Starwars fan until now

@crabsyman

George Lucas believe there is life out there. Look at the next part.

Lucas belive there must be life out there.

But what it is or how it look, he didn´t known it.

[Avatar181209]

George,Steven,Jimmy and Ridley are the "Masters of real science fiction".

Not gufy or boring scifi. Just great storyteller!!!

And this it is all ABOUT! To tell great stories in their own "worlds"

[Avatar181209]

awesome

[BuddhaMaster84]

lucas @ roby the robot, hehe

[crabsyman]

Lucas is correct also. As far as intellegent life out there? Where is it? SETI can't find it. And more and more scientists say it's very rare. I think I agree, rather than this wierd wack a mole theory. It doesn't make sense as we would welcome some sort of communication with another world. We're alone. Oh No!

@crabsyman

We find new species on our own planet daily...

We haven't even started to explore our oceans let alone the universe.

What we know about life etc,,is not even 1%.

What are you...another one of those religious nuts?

[crabsyman]

These guys are way over rated. Other than Duel, American Graffitti, Schindler's List and the battle scenes in Private Ryan, the rest are maniputative, patronazing crappola!

[daraofp]

WTF??????look a retard ashole just posted a coment, amazing!!!!son go to youre cave and kill youre self

[crabsyman]

Dest. Moon was a great film. The first that tried to be serious about space travel. Spielberg is right on here.
