    I probably won't spend the money to see this (largely b/c it's NOT coming to a theater near me, the bastards) but will definitely catch it on DVD or cable.

    @Grey_Area: Very Technicolor indeed, though it probably wouldn't have been in color at that time, and wouldn't have been in that aspect ratio.


    Evil alien sci-fi was in B&W and 4x3 and we LIKED it that way!

    @WestMantooth: Ah, you win a cookie in the game Mrs. Overclock and I play: figure out where we've seen this actor before without resorting to the IMDB. (Since we both frequently watch TV with our laptops in our laps, this game requires a considerable amount of trust among the players.)


    Funny, he's a cop on PSYCH too.

    @Chip Overclock: Not every actor in the US has been on ER; some of the New York ones have only been on multiple Law and Orders. But they've all been on at least one episode of at least one L&O, and they all mention it in their Playbill credits (even when they're doing the bus and truck shows).


    Evil Tortie's Dad and I play the same game (have been since the 80's, when the "everyone's been in" shows were different for US and Canada, but still existed) and only use IMDB to decide who gets the points or if neither of us can come up with it.


    We should double-date sometime and use the tournament rules (no ER or SG1).

    I'm certainly interested, although I'll be mentally removing all the color so it's B&W.


    There was a movie back in the 80's -- possibly called "Strange Invaders" -- that sorta did this. Only the plot was that aliens had taken over a small Midwest town in the 50's and never changed their styles or mores and our hero discovers them in the present and has to stop them, etc.


    This cast looks great, though. Hope it comes to A Theater Near Me.

    This sounds fun. If you like this type of genre - do yourself a favor and get, "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavre" It's a wonderful homage to all those cheesy B movies filmed in Bronson Canyon in the 50's. Lots of fun!

    I think that, if you use CGI to make an intentionally-wobbly flying saucer, then you are, indeed, attempting to be ironic.


    "Playing it straight" is what all those made-for-TV movies do on the Sci-Fi Channel. That is, they intentionally try to make movies that look good, but fail at them. This is a movie that intends succeed at looking like a failure.


    Ironic.

    God, this thing looks like a DTV movie or something produced by the Sci-fi channel.


    Plus, have you ever noticed it's only white people who reminisce about the "good times" of the 1950's?

    I seem to recall an intriguing io9 piece which posited that all contemporary TV was essentially the X-files (Lost, Supernatural, Goat Whisperer, etc). In light of this post is there any chance of a follow up on that? A "state of the 'files" address, if you will?

    I hope this can be like the The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra only full on funny, rather than having one or two zingers, and the rest of the movie nothing but cricket chirps.
