Awesome early morning sci-fi! I'm off to dream of a world were Robby the Robot valued valued as more than a mode of transportation and a means of making booze ... Enjoy the Atoms for Peace Propaganda!

I feel like if Leslie Nielson didn't fully embrace the parody genre, he would have just continued to be typecasted as a pilot of vessels; spaceships, airplanes, doomed oceanliners ...

Wait, it can't be genuine Kansas City Bourbon unless it was actually produced in Kanasa City; it's really Kansas City-style bourbon produced on Altair IV by a robot.

And done! Here's my new Leslie Nielsen art in celebration of this presentation of Forbidden Planet! Really happy with how the laser turned out!

Forbidden Planet was standard Halloween Night programming on local television throughout the 60s and 70s. John Carpenter even made reference to the tradition, featuring the film playing on the television in the original Halloween!

WHAT KIND OF A-HOLE JUST GOES AND VAPORIZES YOUR SPACE TIGER! (Think this film might be the only context in which that sentence makes any sense ...)

Would love to see a whole day line-up of unconventional Shakespeare film adaptations. Forbidden Planet, All Night Long, Derek Jarman's version of The Tempest, and Scotland, PA (an adaptation of MacBeth set in a 1970s fast food restaurant) come to mind off of the top of my head.

I don't see why they flew all this way when Zsa Zsa Gabor is running a perfectly fine reformed Matriarchal dictatorship just a hop skip and jump away on Venus ... If they don't like that, they can go eat poop potatoes with Matt Damon on Mars.

No offense to the amazing special effects folks behind Forbidden Planet, but it’s just not proper 1950s sci-fi unless you can see the strings dangling from the UFOs, in my opinion...

@analgesicsleep 🤣 Brilliant! Shakespeare wanted the aliens and spaceships and things, but the Globe Theatre was just too poor! Forbidden Planet is just like the 1997 Star Wars Special Edition version of the Tempest!
