Why do Americans always look for the most dramatic, the most frightening...is it because their news agencies are commercial operations, competing for an audience? The more terrifying they make the reports, the more the frightened people feel they need to watch...


Surely this film aims to undermine that.


I'm only talking about the news media as such. The film is visionary but has had little effect on how they (still) report the news over there.

From a dramatic pov, they have to get the thrills going.

Sinking the Rock of Gibraltar is an intriguing idea.

Most Americans wouldn't have any idea what it was. Sorry to sound anti-American, it's just that the USA is so HUGE, they don't need to travel anywhere else, and they aren't well-informed about the rest of the world.

Isn't 'left field' a baseball reference? Grin

The interior of the spaceship is oddly reminiscent of early versions of the TARDIS.

I love the scene in the lift. You can see in Pat Neal's eyes...her character knows who she is talking to but doesn't want to admit it to herself.

You would think they would realise by the fact that he left hospitals, planes etc. working, that he meant no harm.
