"Our society has no room for a dictator. Even a benevolent one."

The Shape of Things To Come (1979) with Barry Morse is the greatest movie ever made. I am speechless. You must see it at once.

Interesting. I've never seen it but remember the advertising as I was such a Space 1999 fan back in the day.

Mere language is inadequate to convey its majesty.

1979? I was only familiar with the 1930's version. Have to look for this.

Actual H.G. Wells content not guaranteed.

...Well, it's got a character named John Caball.

And a cute robot.

It's starring Barry Morse. And Jack Palance. And Anne-Marie Martin from "Sledge Hammer!". And has clearly been shot in Toronto on a budget somewhat less than "Space: 1999".

It is, in the "I Claudius" sense of the word, INDESCRIBABLE.

OTOH, sometimes ignorance is bliss...
