Mdub! Cool video man! The cat actually seemed to be playing with some comprehension of what it was doing.
What was doubly funny was that my krabby-kat was fast asleep nap'n on his fluffy white pillow next to the Gibby on the couch when I started to play that video.
And as soon as those first tones played by that thar Thera-Kat came out the speakers... His head pops up as if he's saying...
Well, I can only imagine what Mr Grumpy-butt & his little cat brain is formulating for thought, but it looks to me like he isn't all that happy about that noise waking him up right now from his nap!
Yet sometimes I swear, I can see something when I look in his eyes man..
But maybe he's just a 'Cat-Box Hero.. with Starz in his eyes'

Great thread!
Davie and I were onstage with the Slambovian Circus of Dreams at a Fesival in
Massachusetts and they backed us up on an old song we wrote called UFO... So of course Tink Lloyd
played her Theramin. One of those memorable moments from a checkered career.
And I'm old enough to have had the sh*t scared out of me by Gort, the giant robot from
"The Day the Earth Stood Still." I was too young to have had those images implanted in
my briain. The UFO song was probably an outgrowth of that movie trauma. Of course I've
never forgotten the phrase that saved the world: Klaatu Baradda Nikto....
I love the Slambovians... Tink plays keys and flute and a couple of other instruments, and Sharkey in the red shirt is
one of the most creatiive guitarists ever to nail my ears back.
Here's an old recording of the song, but without the Slambovians or the Theramin:
(we were pretty young on that album cover)

Did you enjoy the redo with Keanu & Jennifer Connelly?
The first was super scary yet the optics (can't really call the visual tech graphics from that era can we?) always looked 50's phony but, the cinematography & use of the camera was top notch & very well done.
Despite the limited tech of the era, the original was still able to conjure ominous imagery & fearful emotions...
Not bad for 1951 eh?
For me, seeing the original first always sets an almost insurmountable bar... yet, I will say I enjoyed both. But then, in all honesty, I am a real easy to please movie purveyor & often find myself enjoying many of the movies critics destroy will their gang bang of bad reviews.
So how bout you Wave? Col? Did you guys see the 2004 redo & did y'all like it at all?

Sharkey McEwan on the Telecaster, or any other damn guitar he fancies. One of a kind. Tink Lloyd on Theramin
David Tamulevich on acoustic, Tony Zuzulo on drums and me on bass and lead vocal.
Josiah was sittin' out, loaning us his band. Great band, great folks, the Grand Slambovians...
Also, I believe it served as a sound check for the Slambovians, who were on next.
So it made sense for them too, and the audience loved it. We took our bows and scarpered after this song,
and Josiah came onstage and they took over, easy transition.
Yeah, and I never saw the remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.
Once was enough. I was way too young when I saw those images, and had bad dreams about
the giant robot for a long time after. "Klaatu Barada Nicktoe" YER ASS!!!!!!!

Me too!......
& I always felt like a bit of a tortured perv because of it too!
Hey, Bowie liked her! & he was way older than me...
It appears they really were close when off camera. David!???....
But if ya think about it, Ludo liked her too..
And so did this UGLY mutha fvker!
These bird brains lost their heads & had their grubby dirty paws all over her!
I even heard the little green pig fvk'r Kermie da Frog was foolin 'round with her behind the scenes while filming the Labyrinth! (No doubt a 'Henson-Hookup' ala Weinstein style)
So maybe I should cut myself some slack eh??
After all, I know potential & beauty when I see it.

Bah, the original was the best as is the case on most remakes. The Blob with Steve McQueen is another favorite of mine, the remake, not so much.Did you enjoy the redo with Keanu & Jennifer Connelly?

I would have to agree on all of that WaveMasterFlash.
Have you seen the new 'It'?? If so, what did you think? My kids haven't seen the original & really liked the new one. I personally haven't seen it.
Maybe a fun thread would be trying to name movie redo's that matched or out-did (were better than) the original versions??
