Definitely prefer the book, but as a film it was watchable. And the effects were better than most - for the technology they had then. Better than some B7 ones, in fact.

I think I prefer Weena's fate in the book (he says as a B7 fan!)  My reaction was different but then I was a lot younger when I last read it. Silflay hraka, u embleer rah!

I think I prefer Weena's fate in the book (he says as a B7 fan!) Survivors too Ends up at the end of the earth ,giant crabs and jellyfish Americans always have to have a positive ending. Even if that ruins the point of the book. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

Thanks for choosing and organising it, OSP. I wonder what you'll come up with next week? More George Pal, perhaps? Anyway, nice talking to you all. Enjoy your Speedway next week, TT. We'll miss you. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

His ending is a different too! In the book, he just disappears somewhere back into the future, NEVER to return!

Bye, have a great Easter everybody Eostre was a goddess of spring: people sacrificed babies to her in the hope that she'd be pleased enough to come back every year. I'd rather celebrate Chocolate Sunday, but thanks for the thought. "You're not sulking, I hope?"

One hour to go! Can't wait to watch this - I only read the book last month. And can't believe what Og has built in his shed. See you all in a short while!

Hold on, just to pop back to Ancient Greece to pick up Og. He is standing in for the Minotaur, so that the Minotaur can take a week's holiday. I will be out for a few days - will be back three weeks ago.
