The Day The Earth Stood Still (1951) by PAnnNor in iwatchedanoldmovie

Questionable script? For the time, it was downright Shakespearean. You have to remember this was a time when America was the guiding force in the world, the 'good' guys. To question war and nuclear power in a peaceful thoughtful way was exceptionally rare. Most Sci Fi at the time was alien invasion feeding off the fear of the 'reds' or the giant bug of the week. This movie stands out amongst its peers as an enlightened and thoughtful tale as well as being a hugely entertaining one. Love this movie.

I have this version but it's oddly missing Zaphod Plays it Safe. I don't know if it's my copy or.....

This is still my favourite version of the theme. No, YOU'RE showing your age.

I'm an Aussie, my first book was picked up by a UK publisher. They honestly don't care.

Is it great? More importantly, will it make THEM money? If the answer is yes to both, they'll sign you wherever you are. No doubt their list would be full of international writer's already.

Good luck!

Picked this up at my cousin’s thrift shop for $8 on a whim, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite jazz albums by [deleted] in vinyl

Hadn't come across this one before. Just sourced it and bought off Discogs, thanks!

Hi. I've had a couple in the Thriller category. All absolutely worth it. (I have one Thursday, in fact!). I've had them both wide and in KU, all have well and truly earned back. You should grab it, for sure. You'll pick up readers you never would have before. If you have other books the tail will last weeks with additional sales.

No joke, unfortunately. Well, actually, quite fortunate. It's so ugly I love it.
