<munch, munch> Does anyone remember these two movies : 1) The Earth is splitting up and the last scene is a man and a woman looking on as a big chunk of the Earth splits off and forms a new moon thereby stopping whatever bad that was going to happen to the Earth. I think the catalyst was that someone was digging to the Earth's core for geo-thermal energy. 2) Some astronauts are orbiting Mars and some previous civilization on Mars brings them down to fix some sort of machine that fools around with time. The Martians' faces were in pillars. Any ideas ? Thanx, -- ==> Ephrayim J.

The first film was called "Crack in the World." Truly hilarious. My favorite scene is when they fire the rocket with the nuclear warhead DOWN into their drill pit to break through to the magma. --Lauren--

The Martians' faces were in pillars. > It was called "The Wizard of Mars", and had to be the WORST s-f movie ever made, bar none. Those pillars were old chambers that all the Martians are in. The Marians had stopped time (locally), so they could live forever. They didn't like it. The "heros" couldn't leave till they fixed the machine that "was" time. (They never explain, but if the machine is broke, time is stopped. Fix the machine, and time runs again. It seems the Martians built the machine, then broke it to stop time!!) Why did I watch the worst s-f movie of all time? How else would I know how bad it was? Never lick a gift Chuck Jones horse in the mouth. ...mgnetp!ll1!cej

From: "Richard G. Turner //CCTO USARI//" <rturner@amc-hq.arpa> Your movie where the Earth was splitting and a large chunk of the Earth flies off into space is from "Crack in The Earth" if I remember correctly. -rick
