Some day, I will settle on a Teleport City design and stick with it. This one’s closer than most to being mildly acceptable to me. Anyway, usher in my endless George Lucas style fiddling with:
MOON ZERO TWO
England’s Hammer Films had the misfortune of releasing their nicely decorated but somewhat tepid science fiction romp Moon Zero Two in the wake of 1968’s two big genre-changing films, and as a result, Hammer’s effort comes out looking decidedly small scale and quaint. But perhaps even more crushing, Hammer released their breezy little moon adventure movie in 1969 and wound up competing directly with the actual Apollo moon landing. While a vision of the moon that included scantily clad dancing girls and scotch dispensers appeals to a certain sensibility, in the end, Moon Zero Two just couldn’t beat out Neil Armstrong actually hopping around on the surface of the moon, even though the real moon ended up not having any dancing girls or scotch — at least, one assumes, up until Alan Shepard got up there with his golf clubs.

I like the design, mostly because now every time I go to your site, *sigh* there’s Caroline Munro.

“Unfortunately, they don’t turn out to be lovers, at least not out in the open, so my hopes for a gay film in which being gay isn’t the theme of the film, but rather just another background detail remains unfulfilled.”
You should have another look at Children of the Damned sometime. It never comes right out and says that the two dapper young cohabiting male scientists are a couple, but they sure do act like one.

I firmly believe that the two guys in Godzilla vs. Megalon are a couple.

For a moment, looking at that screengrab, I thought somebody had made a movie starring the Animated M&M Candies from those commercials.

I recently saw the last half hour or so of that, and I must say, it kind of killed my enthusiasm for tracking down the various Quatermass material that I’d heard so much good about.
