Speaking of "SERIOUS" scifi films, I saw "The Day The Earth Stood Still" on cable this weekend. Fabulous flick! Especially considering that it was done in the late 50's.

There is no such thing as "serious sci-fi." Serious science fiction is
always called "SF," to distinguish it from "sci-fi."

Especially considering that it > was done in the late 50's. "Serious", yes; also very preachy and dull. And Michael Rennie isn't much of an actor, either (which made him perfect for the part :-)). BTW, it's from 1951. "Who you calling opinionated?!" Kenn Barry
