neutral · AI labelView post →Dated, corny but pretty and production-designed to death, Forbidden Planet (1956) remains a touchstone film in the science fiction canon. One doesn’t have to recall the great Canadian clown Leslie Nielsen became later in his career to be amused by his hunky, womanizing starship captain.
neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatching Forbidden Planet, it occurs to me that Frank Drebin's intonation and body language were born on the set of this film. Leslie Nielsen acted ham-ishly in his first big role, and then realized he could get a lot of mileage out of parodying this sort of thing. What a perceptive man.

positive · AI labelView post →🧵I watched Forbidden Planet last night. Hadn't seen it for decades. A super-intelligent race is destroyed, despite its technological advances, by its own subconscious primitive fears and greed, 'the monster of the ID'. Hashtag AI, etc. Anyway, couldn't help but notice how the film influenced others.

negative · AI labelView post →#BOTD in 1926: the incomparable Leslie Nielsen (d. 2010). He parlayed his leading man image into one of the great comic personas of the 80s and 90s via AIRPLANE! (1980) and THE NAKED GUN (1988), but I'll always remember him as Commander J.J. Adams in FORBIDDEN PLANET (1956) #filmsky #moviesky #botd
neutral · AI labelView post →If you want to watch an episode of Star Trek without Kirk- or Spock-level talent, you should watch Forbidden Planet, which is a fun, thoughtful sci-fi movie brought down to earth by perfectly respectable performances that are dull as hell to watch.
neutral · AI labelView post →What is Backrooms like? Kane Parsons' surreal A24 sci-fi film is a hypnotic cousin to psychodrama projections Forbidden Planet and Last Year in Marienbad. Like describing a dog to someone who has never seen one; you'll get the gist, but not the details. 4 out of 5. film-authority.com/2026/05/30/b...

positive · AI labelView post →Forbidden Planet has a lot of places where it is genuinely quite bad (all of them involving the only woman in the movie) but man this is just...the near peak of golden age sci-fi, right here www.youtube.com/watch?v=fBxU...

He came up with the 'glowing radium' prop in 'Madam Curie (1943)'--the first use of fiber optics in a film, family legend says. 'Forbidden Planet' was the last film he worked on. 😁

neutral · AI labelView post →The Saturday movie was Forbidden Planet (1956) and it's still a cracking movie despite the almost 70 years intervening and a couple of dodgy scenes. The plot holds up and it still _looks_ fantastic. And a young Leslie Nielsen has a strange resemblance to Daniel Craig.
positive · AI labelView post →I would argue that very little good science fiction tries to have nothing to say about humanity or the human condition. There is some very intellectual and intelligent science fiction that takes on and speculates about advanced science and mathematics concepts but these are rarely mainstream and not at all the kind of thing Weir writes. Some science fiction can be just fun science, engineering or math speculation stories told in prose, but if doesn’t have something to say about ourselves,…

It makes me want to watch sfdebris' review of this movie again... I think he had a good argument that its plot was kind of a religious warning against technology, which is a notable take. Remember to oil your robots I guess?
