Well, it wasn't like that. It's just that Steed had to be alone to be accepted. Put him in a crowd and he sticks out like a sore thumb! Let's face it, with normal people he's weird. The trick to making him acceptable is never to show him in a normal world, just fighting villains who are odder than he is!"

There were two creatures, 1 evil, 1 good. The Good one and I helped capture the Evil one with a knock-out potion and put him away but he escaped and came looking for me. He found me in our garage but I stepped behind a bicycle tire and became invisibly thin. I awoke when the Good Creature - or was it the Evil Creature? - said his Evil twin had been captured, and I stepped away from the bike to see…two Creatures.
3D?
I hope you enjoyed the movie.

Forbidden Planet marks the debut of Robby the Robot. It also has Leslie Nielson (who was originally a dramatic actor) and Ann Francis.

This is one of my favs, along with This Island Earth. But I also arrange my plans around showings of The Ghost and Mr. Chicken so there's that...


(not the same head he wears in the movie. Robby has had several different heads in his career, but this movie version is my fav. He also appeared in an episode of Lost in Space, maybe two, and had a quick cameo in Gremlins at the beginning of the movie.)

In 1982, John Landis wanted Jack Arnold to direct a remake of the film, and Nigel Kneale was commissioned to write the screenplay. Kneale completed the script, which involved a pair of creatures, one destructive and the other calm and sensitive, being persecuted by the United States Navy.[11] A decision to make the film in 3D led to the remake being canceled by producers at Universal, both for budgetary concerns and to avoid a clash with Jaws 3-D.[11]

Here is an interesting article which sums up what I have learned thus far watching the series, plus a few surprises.

Azastan wrote about Perry Mason: there is a horse, either real or depicted via sculpture/painting etc., in every episode.

I have seen the horse art in his office and his apartment and the shows with horses in the main themes. I shall look more closely to see if the audience is being "Alfred Hitchcocked".
