re: #108 HypnoToad

Upding for Forbidden Planet. My fave too, although they have that unfortunate voiceover at the beginning. They said that man makes it to the moon at the end of the next century, some 140 years after the movie was made. It actually took us thirteen years…

There’s a remake of sorts in the works, due out next year. Apparently, someone had the good sense not to attempt an actual redo of the original - which is flawless and cannot be improved upon - and has opted to do a “prequel” to the original, detailing the Belerophon expedition and it’s miserable fate.

No word on whether Nielson will be given a cameo; I certainly hope so.
