[Excalibur] (10-18-02 Screening)

[saa01 at hampshire.edu]

Classic flicks this week, folks. Last screening was a bit odd, so we're going 
for straight up 50's Science Fiction.

With ROBOTS!

8:00- The Day The Earth Stood Still. Three words. Klaatu Barada Nikto.

(Oh, well, if you need more, an alien comes to earth with his giant robot and 
tells us off for using atomic bombs. Capital stuff.)

9:45- Forbidden Planet. Sci-fi adaptation of The Tempest. A young Leslie 
Nielsen and his crew arrive on Altair IV, where they meet a scientist, his 
daughter, and Robby the Robot, one of the greatest robots ever. Great score, 
great effects, great movie.

Short email this week, but at least I got it more than 24 hours before the 
screening

See you there!
