I guess Calvin's dad was wrong about the world being only black and white back then...

THIS is thy hour O Soul, thy free flight into the wordless,  
Away from books, away from art, the day erased, the lesson done,  
Thee fully forth emerging, silent, gazing, pondering the themes thou lovest best.  
Night, sleep, death, and the stars.

A good bad movie is like popcorn for the soul!

That is amazing.  Looking at those little children and realizing that they would be over 110 if they were still alive - WOW!!!!

This is amazing! Just think of all the other pieces of film out there we haven't discovered yet. Who knows what we haven't seen? There could of been an even older color film than this floating out there.

We're gonna have to find everything eventually though, or at least all surviving films.

Cool!  It's good when lost films are found; when it's historically significant, that's even better.

Pretty sure the first color film was likely animated. So was this the first live-action color film? Fascinating.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.

    Lesson Learned:
    • Osmosis: os·mo·sis (oz-mo'sis, os-) n., 1. When a bird eats something.
