(Fan-freaking-cesco?)
I only ...Fan-freaking-tastic!<br />(Fan-freaking-cesco?)<br />I only recently saw this movie, myself (yes, I know...I've been working on educating myself..God Bless Hulu.com!), and I really enjoyed it. It had a very serious treatment of the topic, and the outer-space tie-in was wonderful. Another movie with a wonderful, sci/fi tie-in was "The Crawling Hand"...very similar, but you had more contact with the poor, doomed astronaut in orbit.<br />I'm lovin these posters, my friend...how the heck do you ever find the time...?<br /><br />-Dave FloraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531837264842306078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599132123487695021.post-23414692437053043652009-10-21T05:15:52.211-07:002009-10-21T05:15:52.211-07:00Thank you, Britt :D No, I didn't know about th...Thank you, <b>Britt</b> :D No, I didn't know about the <b>X-Files/Quatermass</b> connection (even though I wouldn't be surprised - for example the current Fringe seems, to me, very much inspired by X-Files and with lots' of structure plot from Terminator movies). I need to check into that.<br />I also heard that the orginal brioadcasted Quatermass shows (which were later adapted in these movies) have been lost from the BBC archives: pity.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />FrancescoFrancesco Francavillahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01387320513644974109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599132123487695021.post-3341051100667792882009-10-18T22:57:19.657-07:002009-10-18T22:57:19.657-07:00Superb, as always!

(And you got the suit details right!)<br /><br />One note: both Quatermass Xperiment and Quatermass II were black & white.<br />Quatermass & the Pit and Quatermass Conclusion were color.<br /><br />Have you heard about the theory that the plots of all four Quatermass films were adapted (some say pirated) into the X-Files "mytharc"?<br /><br />Check out http://www.the11thhour.com/archives/091999/features/muldermass6.html for their take on Quatermass Xperiment!Britt Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07245579677452948620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7599132123487695021.post-31721744066957514562009-10-18T20:22:24.922-07:002009-10-18T20:22:24.922-07:00@Rob: hey man, good to see you here :D and thank y...@<b>Rob</b>: hey man, good to see you here :D and thank you so much for the kind words, glad you enjoyed the TZ series - I should be able to do a few more before the month is over.<br />@<b>Chuck</b>: glad to hear you dig the approach :) I am trying a modern and classic approach at the same time on these hammer tributes.
