    Thanks for posting, Jack.

    We all enjoyed it.

    My Leslie Nielsen story: I went to the University of Bridgeport back in the 1980’s and they had this really cool audotorium that seated about 200 and looked like a flying saucer from the outside. They would play cult classic movies throughout the year. Anyway, this was shortly after “Airplane” came out. They were going to show “Forbidden Planet” on that Friday. To advertise the move, they would post reproductions of the original movie poster around campus. When I saw Leslie Nielsen was in it, I assumed it was a comedy and talked 10 or 15 of my friends to go.

    About halfway through the movie, I realized it wasn’t a comedy. I’m a sci-fi geek, so I loved it, but I thought everyone was going to be pissed at me because it wasn’t a comedy. We were all somewhat chemically enhanced (beer and pot) so most everybody enjoyed the movie.

    I never knew the back story until I watched the video you posted.

    Thanks again.
