Here in Santa Fake, the old art theater house is reopening to great applause. This was a treasure at one time in this artsy town, but shut down years ago because of management ailments.

But it's back -- and what film did they choose to show for tonight's grand reopening?

"Forbidden Planet!"

It will be standing room only.

Forbidden Planet is a heck of a movie with impressive scale and effects - PhilJ 14:55:24 08/02/13 (4)
with some silliness, but an influence on Star Trek (original) I bet

If you have not seen it go, and enjoy!

  The Krell!!
  - the Krell, is the impressive scale I alluded to, Wikipedia wrote: - PhilJ 10:19:10 08/03/13 (2)
    vast cube-shaped underground Krell complex, 20 miles (30 km) on each side, still functioning and powered by 9,200 thermonuclear reactors.
    
    hmmm I wonder if Krell amplifiers got their name from this film
    
    makes sense...
    - Yes, the amp Krell's name derives from the Krell of "Forbiden Planet"... - Steve O 19:53:12 08/03/13 (1)
      ...something to do with practically limitless power or energy delivery capability IIRC. A bit of hyperbole but hey, it's all show biz in the final analysis.
      - neat tidbit thanks! - PhilJ 20:14:20 08/03/13 (0)
