“Thank God they Left Stranger in a Strange Land off the list.”
Gotta agree with you there, my entire 8th grade class voted to drop it and read something else.
You know what I thought was a pretty good book, everyone seems to have forgotten it “The Man Who Fell to Earth” and I never even saw the movie.
In hindsight I’m guessing it was lefty trash, but I enjoyed it at the time. There was a good bit about things (like coffee) not smelling so good in that future world, that bit stuck with me.
Hubby and I think the government has ruined all crackers, etc. with their transfat mania. Everything seems to just be like cardboard lately. I even bought my old favorite Wise potato chips, they are supposed to be greasy, salty and delicious, yet they seemed dry, lacking in salt and flavorless.
I would prefer “Creature From the Black Lagoon” and “Forbidden Planet” to 95% of science fiction movies in the last 10 years.
Heck I would even pick some of the giant spider etc. movies.
