In 1950 they were closer to the moon than we are now. Sad!

When Disney founded the Disney Corporation in 1923, they were closer in time to the first moon landing that we are today to the last.

Heinlein was one of the script writers.  IMDB says that in addition to "Rocket Ship Galileo" it's also similar to "The Man Who Sold the Moon" also by Heinlein.


I wonder if movies like this influence people to become the engineers who designed the Saturn Vs in the 1960's.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

QuoteAn episode of the 1950s western TV series 'Trackdown' featured a snake oil salesman named 'Trump' who promised to build a wall in order to prevent the end of the world.

The television series Trackdown really did produce an episode featuring a "Trump" character who came to town claiming that only he could prevent the end of the world by building a wall (and also sold special force propelling umbrellas to deflect meteorites). The episode (S1, E30) aired on CBS in 1958 and was titled "The End of the World," featuring actor Lawrence Dobkin playing the role of "Walter Trump."

:lol:

Full episode for those interested: https://youtu.be/h1D2ynASqe4

The Happytime Murders. Amusing, if you like puppet sex jokes.

Bad Times at the El Royal. Maybe would have been better as a tv series. Lots of twists, but not much time to really develop the characters. Worth a watch though.

I'm re-watching Babylon 5 again.  It never gets old for me.  Each time I watch it, I notice new things and the relevance to modern events is slightly different.  I'm 6 episodes into season 4, aka the beginning of the third age of mankind.

Babylon 5, great show indeed. I haven't yet seen it offered on my cable but it's one I'll want to watch.

Over the New Years holiday Sci-Fi channel showed a Twilight Marathon. I watched some and recorded some, still have a bunch to watch. Those are still good shows, most hold up pretty well. Some classic stuff.

The special effects were never great even for the 90s, and haven't aged well at all.  Storyline season two onward is still great though.

We always put on a cartoon in the morning for the kids while they eat some breakfast on Netflix.

This morning before switching to the kids account, I see there's a new live action show Titans - based on the Teen Titans.  Now my kids love both Teen Titans Go! (and the Teen Titans Go to the Movies movie), and the older Teen Titans animated show.  I start the preview - immediately becomes apparent this is not meant for little kids.

Why do they do this - take an obvious kids show and make it for adults?
