SnoopJ: so, uh, I finally watched Godzilla (1954), and was surprised at how much it's a 50s sci-fi movie
<raptop>
You could totally do a double header of it and The Day The Earth Stood Still
<SnoopJ>
raptop, I only saw it for the first time a few months ago, but yea it's very much of its era. Could totally do that double-header
<SnoopJ>
raptop, at the risk of heresy: might even be a better double feature with the Keanu remake, since that one is a little more explicitly about human existential dread
<raptop>
I haven't seen the 2008 Day the Earth Stood Still, so can't comment
<SnoopJ>
it is barely related to its namesake, but relatively fun 00s fare for what it is
<raptop>
I guess a question would be: how much of it is about technology-related concerns?
<SnoopJ>
so, without really giving anything away, Klaatu comes to Earth because climate change
<SnoopJ>
which I see as the parallel to Godzilla-as-nuclear-horror-story
<raptop>
hmm
<SnoopJ>
IIRC it's framed in much softer terms than that but yea it's climate change
<SnoopJ>
vs. the original being just "hello humans how do you do *BANG*"
* raptop
will have to check it out
<SnoopJ>
it's not *great* to be clear but left enough of an impression on me that I've been considering rewatching
<SnoopJ>
its rendition of Gort is pretty cool if nothing else
<WeylandsWings>
the central obstruction is only 51%
<WeylandsWings>
although that might go up with a large camera
<WeylandsWings>
and you might need the camera to be water cooled, because an Air-TEC would be dumping the heat into the shoud of the scope, which is right where you DONT want it
<WeylandsWings>
image field is mearly 8 deg so it would make an amazing search system
