Gone to where skies are bluer.

Happy anniversary to The Day The Earth Stood Still, released on this day in 1951. Although it was only moderately successful in its original theatrical run, the movie is now considered a science fiction classic.

Klaatu barada nikto!

Happy anniversary to the first space musical, Toomorrow! This strange Olivia Newton-John alien abduction movie was released on this day in 1970.

Any of you cats mind a groove?

Happy 40th anniversary to the movie Explorers, released on this day on 1985! This fun sci-fi adventure about kids building their own spacecraft was also the acting debut of Ethan Hawke!

Happy anniversary to my second favorite alien invasion film (after Mars Attacks), Earth Vs. The Flying Saucers! It was released on this day in 1956.

Even if you're not an alien invasion fan, it is worth a watch just for the fun stop-motion animation by Ray Harryhausen!

Happy anniversary to Escape From The Planet Of The Apes! This film was the third of the original POTA movies, and was released on this day in 1971. It manages to be one of the better films in the series, despite the low budget and rushed production.

Happy anniversary to Fantastic Planet, one of the most gorgeous and creative science fiction films of all time. This surreal animated sci-fi classic was released on this day in 1973.

[Space Opera Stuff @SpaceOperaStuff]

Happy anniversary to the science fiction comedy Dark Star, released on this day in 1974.

The film features screenwriter/effects supervisor Dan O'Bannon in a rare acting role as Sergeant Pinback. O'Bannon worked behind the scenes in Star Wars, Alien, Total Recall, and many more.

Happy anniversary to Solaris, released on this day in 1972. This sci-fi gem was based on the novel by Stanisław Lem.

If you enjoy thoughtful science fiction like 2001 or Silent Running, or if you share my obsession with cool space station corridors, give this one a watch.

Attention starship crew:

After repeated requests, we have searched the south side airlock and have determined that there is no plesiosaur inside. We can confirm that there is no “Lock S. Monster”. Please stop listening to Ensign Blort’s podcast.

Thanks.

I hope you’ve all been as charmed as I have by #SkeletonCrew. @DisneyAUNZ kindly asked me to provide a tribute artwork to this jaunty starwars/pirate pastiche so here it be. Arrrr, me robot hearties!

[Cat Rambo @Catrambo]

Excited to say that YOU SEXY THING is getting translated into Italian! More on that to come. Sono emozionato!

[Star Wars - The Direct @StarWars_Direct]

#SkeletonCrew could explore Jod's backstory in a potential Season 2, says creators Christopher Ford & Jon Watts:

"We have ideas in our heads for sure... but we've always had an idea of where this [show] could go even before we made the first season."
