The Village – what's in store in series two
Peter Moffat's bleak, Bafta-nominated Derbyshire drama is back. We catch up with cast and crew during filming and reveal more about the drama and how to visit its stunning setting...
The Village, is set to return next month. Only, things won't be quite so drab – the war has ended, the sun has come out (a bit), and the characters find themselves in the heart of the Jazz Age: the 1920s.
While the cast and crew were shooting in the pretty village of Hayfield and on the grand country estate of Lyme Park, Augustus Prew, who plays George Allingham, and Charlie Murphy, who plays Martha Lane, told us what to expect…
George, from the wealthy Allingham family has returned from war to his beautiful, ginormous estate, but he is struggling with flashbacks and post-traumatic stress. "He's become severely shell shocked," said Prew. "George embodies the plight of veterans in the 20s and how society tried to deal with these people, who were considered cowards."
George is still a progressive working-class sympathiser. "We see a lot more of his radicalism coming out in the second series," revealed Prew. "He's pitted against his brother, who's a staunch conservative." Series two sees George married (you will have to wait to find out who to) and presents a bourgeoning new world filled with civil disobedience, the rise of a labour movement, unions, women voters and a seismic shift in the way people view the country and the world.
"People are reinventing their identities," said Prew, "they're trying to understand and make sense of what had happened, and collectively understand this trauma. This was the first time that people distrusted their government.
"In many ways George is the audience's viewpoint, he's got one foot in the working class and one foot in the aristocracy and yet he doesn't belong in either… it's very exciting, a very cool part to play."
Meanwhile, Charlie Murphy's character has a different personal plight – she's dealing with marrying the wrong man. "Martha has a martyr complex and makes decisions on what is dutiful and what is right and moralistic," explained Murphy. "The naivety of that catches up with her eventually, and she realises that it's not fair on her, but it's definitely not fair on the person she married," she continued. "It's even harder because there is a great fondness with her and her husband. She questions whether it's self indulgent to want more." As Martha deals with her sense of duty and what her heart wants, there's a social awakening going on around her. There's the idea of possibility, voting, where women should be placed after being so involved with manufacturing during the war. All this against "such an epic backdrop," said Murphy.
"The heartbreakingly beautiful countryside is the 29th character in The Village and arguably it's the biggest role," agreed Peter Moffat.
"The more time I spend up in Edale and around Hayfield and Glossop the more I love this rugged, beautiful, honest part of England and the more I understand how passionately people felt about it then and how much they care about it now."
Fans of the show can visit the town of Hayfield and the Allingham's family home of Lyme Park (now a National Trust site). "We use the gardens, the lakes and the whole house," said Prew. "We've shot in every crevice of that house. If you walk along the corridors, you will see many of the sets. One of the main focal pieces is the drawing room, which we shoot in a lot. It's one of the oldest parts of the house, some of it medieval… you walk in and the architecture is so vaulted and beautiful and empowering. It's a masterpiece of British architecture."
The cast and crew stayed in The Royal Hotel in Hayfield village during filming. "It's been such fun to come back to it," said Murphy, "Some of the shops have kept up the signs from last year. They're fantastic. It's been a lovely experience and all the locals are lovely." However, series two of the village may have a slightly different feel. "Last year, the landscape was harsher," explained Murphy, "we were filming in September, October, November time – in snow and hailstorms. This year is easier weather-wise – it's stunning, it's absolutely stunning."
Watch The Village series two on BBC1 this August (dates and timings to be released soon).

Aliens are here, and like any species from a civilised society, more so from one that is tech advance to master intersteller travel, they would prefer to deal with the leaders.
Fortunately, dictators are rare on Earth. Most nations had chosen the path of democracy - representation of the collective - to determine and decide upon paths to take that is best for their society.
.....BUT remember, your wants must be tampared for the good of all, as we lived together as one society, where no one is greater than the whole, with responsibilities to each other - white or black, young or old.
Information and techology had already been filtered down to us all, in the guise of being created by men. Such knowledge had helped us progress and evolved within decades compared to our ancient horse riding ancestors.
Agriculture yields had improved tremendously. What more do we need from aliens?

The "deal stopper" however is contained early in the document. We hear all this fear that disclosure will rip society apart and that people cannot deal with the fact of ET being here with us. Roadapples! The real reason the disclosure will NEVER happen is what Dr Greer says about the propulsion systems and the reality of Zero Point Energy and being able to eliminate the use of fossil fuels.
Free energy would level the playing field and enrich everyone on the planet..TBTB will never let that happen without a monumental fight. The elite have the power and control and the only way they can keep it is to keep the bulk of the population struggling to survive. Its about power and free energy rips it away from them. That is the reason for the fight against disclosure.
Many people are working on ZPE, I just hope a few of them can make a breakthrough and manage to stay alive long enough to get it out to the rest of the world.

"When you have the view of the airspace and the radar screen and you see the UFOs go around twenty or thirty miles a second – that is very real. They can turn suddenly almost 90 degrees in a second or half a second. The UFOs can go vertically straight up very quickly."

"Air Catalogue is a rather extensive library I've been collecting for almost 30 years from commercial, private, and test pilots. I have over 3,000 cases. My estimate is that for every pilot who does come forward, and makes a confidential or a public report, there are 20, 30 other pilots who don't."

"The UFO incident occurred on the USS John F. Kennedy in the summer of 1971. We observed a large, glowing sphere over the ship. It looked huge. I would say it was anywhere from three or four hundred feet to a quarter of a mile depending on how high it was. A few days later, the Commanding Officer looked at the camera – and I will never forget this – and he said, "I would like to remind the crew that certain events that take place on board a major combat vessel are considered classified and should not be discussed with anyone without a need to know."
US Navy, National Security Agency, James Kopf -DP p. 203
"We had contact with an unidentified flying object that had entered our air space. The order was given by Admiral Trane to get this object forced down out of the sky if at all possible, by whatever means possible….Two gentlemen began to question me about this event. They were being pretty rough. I remember literally putting my hands up and saying, "Wait a minute fellows. I'm on your side." My logbook, I never did see that again."
US Navy Atlantic Command, Merle Shane McDow- DP p.241
"I said, "Now this is supposed to be a system that tracks radar anomalies on Earth, right?" He says, "Yep, that's what it does." So I ask, "Then why are half of them pointed toward outer space, towards the moon, towards areas that are just blank space? What are they looking for?" He says, "You've got to have a need to know to know about that".…We go back to a comment made by one of the astronauts when he stepped on the moon. It was the day after they got there. And he says, "You're right, they're already here." It got out on the airwaves. I know several people who recorded it. It was quickly taken out of all tapes that were public broadcast."
Defense Intelligence Agency, Military Intelligence Analyst, John Maynard - DP p. 424
"I had access to special libraries, so we could go up to the library that the Air Force ran and sort of paw through top-secret material. Since I was interested in UFOs, I'd look to see what they had. For about a year, I was getting quite a few hits. Then, all of a sudden, the whole subject material vanished. The entire classification for the subject just vanished."
McDonnell Douglas Aerospace Engineer, Dr. Robert Wood - DP p. 434
"We had objects with four-way confirmation – ground visual, ground radar, airborne visual, airborne radar. It doesn't get any better than that. In my following of unusual aerial phenomena for the past 50 years, there seems to be some reason to discredit very viable and very reputable witnesses when they say something is unidentified."

Alan Taylor will direct 'Thor 2' which is pretty exciting for fans since he has done some great work on 'Game of Thrones.' Taylor is best known for his work on 'Game of Thrones', in addition to TV programs including 'The Sopranos', 'Lost' and 'The West Wing', and has been chosen as Patty Jenkins replacement after she dropped out of the Marvel sequel.
Taylor beat fellow 'Thrones' director Daniel Minahan for the picture, which will be released in November 2013.
Patty's removal from the film over "creative differences" earlier this month was said to have irritated Oscar-winning beauty Natalie Portman – who plays Jane Foster in the first film – as she was keen to see a woman take over the directorial job.
As such, the 'Black Swan' actress was kept involved with negotiations for the job, even though she is contractually obliged to film the follow-up to the movie, which stars Chris Hemsworth as the titular Norse God.
Tom Hiddleston will also be returning as the villainous Loki in the movie.

The teacher training began on Tuesday, and it has been awesome!!!
The first day of training was like pulling teeth!! The teachers seemed so shy and nervous!!! I knew that I would get them out of that (because that's what I do best) but it was harder than I thought. By today, they were speaking up, chatting with each other (side bar conversations, one sure sign of comfort) and laughing and smiling more. We talked about math activities with young children and how patterns and sorting materials is a pre-math activity. Then I demonstrated by sorting legos by different colors and then sizes. Then we did patterns. I demonstrated by using colors, red, green, red, green, red, green. I then asked the teachers what would come next, and they said red (well, most said red). Then I asked them to get into pairs, using legos, and make a pattern. Some pairs did it right away. Others had trouble. I wish that I could spend more time with them. I also wish that there was a Holiday Inn in Kou Kou. Ha!!!
There was a time in the US when the best and brightest of womenkind had one of two career choices. Nurse or teacher. When more careers opened up to women, there was a brain drain in our field. The best and brightest, who could only be teachers in the past, were becoming doctors, lawyers, and nuclear physicists. Not to say that the teaching profession still doesn't have some of the best and brightest (like me…ROFL).
I feel as if the teachers in our program are the best and brightest women in the camp. They are all young women, from 17 to 21, (and one senior who is 26), who are eager to learn, teach and support the children of their community. They represent 7 different tribes, some of them are Fur, Zaghawa, Masalit, Sharafa, Rizeigat and Taisha. They are motivated to do the best job that they can, and all believe that education is the key to their future, and the future of their community!

The Snooz is an acoustic white noise machine that allows you to fall asleep by producing a peaceful, gentle white noise that enables you to subtly drone out noise disturbances.
Sleep is crucial for our health, with proper sleep being proven to boost brain function and help prevent a whole variety of diseases and health issues. However, the modern lifestyle causes many of us to inexplicably neglect our sleep. To make things worse, some of us live in noisy environments that make it difficult for us to fall asleep even when we want to. Others still suffer permanent ringing noises in their ears -- tinnitus -- that causes stress and makes it difficult to fall asleep. This is where the Snooz comes in.
This devices uses a special fan designed with airflow simulations that works to generate live, natural white noise that is adjustable. The soothing sound of moving air will help you fall asleep, but won't disturb the general air flow around your room -- so you don't have to worry about the fan making you feel cold etc.
This device is more effective than over-the-counter drugs and muscle relaxation techniques when it comes to giving you a restful sleep. Whilst not on the market yet, the Snooz is set to be the subject of a Kickstarter campaign which will give you the opportunity for you to snag one on the cheap. For just a small price, you can improve your sleep and your overall mental and physical health.

You know what's really frustrating? When you have all the motivation in the world to get out and RUN, but there are big, fat snowflakes falling everywhere.
I'm just so ready for spring. Playing outside with the kids, planting the garden, running my butt off…all of it. A little simple sunshine would make me so happy! All winter I craved the sun, and since you can't just take care of that craving at the drive-thru, I was pretty much out of luck. But, in the meantime, I did start taking vitamin D supplements while waiting for the sun to return. I have a friend who strongly believes in the benefits of D for immunity, and since I was so afraid of getting sick during the final months of my flu-season pregnancy, I upped my intake in an effort to stay healthy for baby and keep those winter bugs away.
As a general rule, I'm not a big fan of supplements at all. I'd rather get my nutrients from food, but that's harder to do with vitamin D since it primarily comes from the sun. (Sure, it's present in a few foods, but with my schedule being so out-of-control lately, I'm just not succeeding at eating the "perfect" diet.)
But why is it so important? Since vitamin D is needed for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, adequate levels are needed for the normal development and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth, as well as muscle function. This is true not only for moms and moms to be, but children and babies, too (and they all just happen to be the people we shield from the sun the most, right?) Since mothers with low vitamin D levels tend to produce breastmilk with low vitamin D levels (on average, about 10% of the recommended daily intake), the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a vitamin D supplement from birth onwards. That's why both of my kids are now taking Ddrops!
I'm choosing to use Ddrops because they are the most natural vitamin D supplements I've found. They're pure, simple drops with no taste, no odor, and no guesswork due to the easy Eurodropper that provides exactly 400 IU of vitamin D per daily drop. Older kids can take it orally by the drop. For breastfed babies, you can just put a drop on your finger or on your nipple before nursing. It's totally easy, and both my 3-year-old and newborn take them without a second thought since they don't smell or taste funny.
More about Ddrops:
- They are wheat-free, soy-free, gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free.
- They contain only vitamin D in a type of coconut fat that is naturally present in breast milk, with no artificial flavors or preservatives.
- They are stable with a long shelf-life and require no refrigeration.
- Available in a 90-dose or 60-dose format.
- The family of Ddrops products includes Baby, Kids, a 600 IU Booster (my 3yo son takes this one), a 1000 IU for adults, and a vegan version. Something pure and natural for everyone!
Buy it!
Interested in trying Ddrops for your new baby? They are now available direct from the manufacturer on Amazon.com.

Having There Once was an Island in distribution has been - well - not different than expected necessarily, but busier and more intense. This is my first time as key producer for post and distribution and despite having managed aspects of both on another feature doc, the growth of new ways to self-distribute documentary has been so fast that I find myself constantly learning - I think this is something all independent filmmakers find.
Many times I've found myself lost in a sea of possibilities - post-production workflows and facilities, technical delivery options, distributors, festivals, distribution platforms and approaches - it's a multifarious list and I'm blessed with so many work commitments that it's next to impossible to be fully informed about a decision before making it. I'm really lucky to work with a second producer (and also the film's director - Briar) who is able to bring so much new information to the table, but even so, the process of choosing an option from the plethora on offer, knowing that it will foreclose an unknown number of others, is often nerve-wracking, as is taking responsibility for ensuring that technical parameters are met to the satisfaction of all parties involved in any screening of the film.
We are now almost a year into our festival run and have enjoyed success in the form of invitations to prestigious festivals like IDFA and Dok Leipzig, prizes and honours - including the Jury Grand Prix at FIFO (Tahiti) and Best Documentary at both Cinefest (Miskolc, Hungary) and Raindance (London), the Filmpreis Leipzinger Ring and the Qantas Film and Television Award for Best Editing, Documentary/Factual. We have also been broadcast in Sweden, Germany, France, in Africa and across the Asia-Pacific region on ABC. It all seems a million miles away from the hot, sweaty experience of shooting on Takuu, the welcome of the community there and the hard reality of their largely pre-industrial life-style and incipient environmental problems. It's also a long way from the time spent in endless applications for funding - a two-year process which prepared me for the myriad difficulties of distribution if only because being told "no" became commonplace.
I've learned countless things from making this film, but if I had to distill out the most important it would be this: if you really want to achieve something and you refuse to give in, you will eventually attain your goal. Briar has always believed this, and thanks to working on There Once was an Island with her, I find I now do too. Be careful what you wish for - it's out there and coming your way....

2002 Cavalier still won't start
Well got out of shop after paying over $300
to have ignition replaced. Drove for day and
half and back to not starting all the time.
Now they saying could be security system
malfunction. For one how do I tell if it is
security system amd how to fix and two
should I have to pay to have them fix it since
they told me it was ignition
5 Answers
Try resetting the security system yourself. You will need to do the following procedure. 1. Turn ignition on, with engine off. 2. Attempt to start engine, then release key to ON (vehicle will not start). 3. Observe the SECURITY telltale, after about 10 minutes, the telltale will turn OFF. 4. Turn ignition off, and wait 5 seconds. 5. Repeat steps 1 -4 two more times for a total of 3 cycles/30 minutes (the vehicle is now ready to relearn the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or passwords on the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK). 6. Start the engine (the vehicle has now learned the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or password). 7. With a scan tool, clear any DTCs if needed (history DTCs will self clear after 100 ignition cycles). NOTE: The vehicle learns the Passlock(tm) Sensor Data Code and/or password XXXXX the next ignition switch transition from OFF to CRANK. You must turn the ignition OFF before attempting to start vehicle.
Well security light never tripped for me. Came on and off as normal. Took it to shop again. Said nothing showing. Going to keep it to check it out amd check it again when car decides not to start but as of now they have no clue.
It is hard to fix something when it is not broke. Sometimes a vehicle can be very temperamental.
Well they said it was starter. So far so good. Just not happy. Just not sure why they wouldn't have checked starter in first place. I guess lesson learned
We'll see hey?

LOS ANGELES --Californians are having an easier time getting through to a 911 operator from their cell phones than ever before. The state Public Safety Communications Division said only 5 percent of cell phone emergency calls didn't reach 911 operators this year, compared to 42 percent three years ago.
There has also been a significant improvement in wait times.
In the past, CHP dispatch centers had to transfer 911 calls placed from cell phones to local police or fire agencies, but now local dispatch centers can take most cell phone calls directly.
About 17 million 911 calls were placed by cell phones in California last year.

The guillotine was used as a form of capital punishment in France from 1792 to 1977. The device is named for Dr. Joseph Ignace Guillotin, although it was not actually invented by him. Dr. Guillotin was a Frenchman who was outraged that criminals who were put to death had to suffer so much before dying, and he called for a more humane form of punishment. He figured out that a beheading delivered the least amount of torture. Dr. Guillotin delivered his idea in the form of six articles to the French government. After a lengthy debate, they accepted his proposal and the use of the guillotine became the sole form of capital punishment.
Soon after the acceptance of Dr. Guillotin's proposal, the French government got to work on creating the machine. A man named Tobias Schmidt was hired to build it and got paid 960 francs for doing so.
Schmidt is the true inventor of the guillotine. After many trials on sheep and human corpses, the guillotine was put into use, with the first official beheading occurring on April 25, 1792. After some minor adjustments in it's build, the use of the guillotine became commonplace and had many victims, including it's most famous ones, French King Louis XVI and his wife Queen Marie Antoinette in 1793.
The guillotine remained mostly the same in structure until around 1870-72, when a man named Leon Berger made some changes that included such improvements as a better release mechanism, and a spring to stop the blade at the bottom. This was the last change made to the machine, and after this, all others were built according to Berger's specifications.
The last public execution in France occurred in 1937, when public executions were banned. After this ban, the law stated that all future executions...

Hi. I am looking for a stone called the Prophecy Stone. It is black in color and is from Libya from the desert
near where they mine Libyan Gold Tektite. I was hoping that you might know where I can purchase this stone.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you.
All the best,
Dear A,
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, Prophecy Stone is from the Libyan desert. This was the name given to Goethite from that region, because of its vibrations. It is an iron ore which means that in its dark heavy state it may be mistaken for a meteorite. The best place to get a piece is to go through a mineralogical society, a crystal show, or to look on an auction site for a piece from that region. Some mines/museums may also carry it to sell. My preference would be a mineralogical society. Each state usually has one and they have swaps, meetings, and exhibitions where they are sold. You can email one of them to see who they can refer you to if they are not near you.
Goethite may also have other minerals in it depending on where it was mined and this will cause it to have a different appearance. Some have a lot of brown, look like clay, or even have other colors in it. I received mine as a gift several years ago and it has an iridescent quality.
I hope that these recommendations can be of assistance and that crystals grace your journey with love and light.
Crystal Blessings!

SAN FRANCISCO — An activist for democracy who was released from prison and deported to the United States is vowing to continue her campaign for human rights in Vietnam.
Tran Khai Thanh Thuy arrived in San Francisco with her teenage daughter on Thursday, a day after Vietnam released the dissident writer on humanitarian grounds after she spent more than a year in prison.
Thuy is among a small circle of dissidents in Vietnam who have promoted a multiparty system, which is not tolerated by the Communist government.
Last year, Thuy was convicted of assaulting two people in a traffic dispute outside her Hanoi home and sentenced to 3½ years in prison.
In an interview Friday, she accused the authorities of fabricating the charges to punish her for her political activities.

What's Your Vision?
Sun Coverage
In 20 years, Las Vegas will be an enhanced three-shift town or it will be nothing.
Imagine what would happen if Las Vegas suddenly became an 8-to-5 town. With that pressure on the infrastructure, we would drown ourselves.
The real future of Las Vegas is its three shifts. I think we exploit that.
If you have a cross-shipping point for Amazon and you want to have a 24-hour schedule, where else do you have a 24-hour town?
Nobody recognizes the primary virtue of Las Vegas as a three-shift town. The wisest thing to do would be to take advantage of the casinos, which operate like little cities, and let the casinos offer K-12 education for children of the employees, let them go to school where mama works.
That is a major benefit. It means that your kids could go to school while you're working.
And everything that's wrong with Las Vegas can be fixed with school, even a private college. What Las Vegas doesn't have is an educated middle class. It has an educated upper class and a smart lower class — the gamblers — but not an educated middle class.
Public school would still exist. You can't fix Nevada politics, but I think there is a role for private education. If I wanted my kids to study dance, I'd rather have them study at Cirque du Soleil than at the university.
I feel like we've done what we can without an educated middle class.
We also need more Steve Wynns and Rob Goldsteins. I've seen Steve Wynn arrange flowers.
They are really ruthless businesspeople, but deep in their hearts, they're your Aunt Sue. They're running around with their hands in the air, yelling, "Company's coming! Company's coming!" Now things are being done with a nonhospitality point of view.
Las Vegas could sort of look like Roman ruins in 2020. There's about 50 times more ghost towns in Nevada than real towns. I figure that was the goal here: One big mistake and you're a ghost town. All it takes is for us to spend a lot of money on some place nobody wants to go. Las Vegas is not quite as much fun as it used to be.
The food is better than it used to be, though.

The body of a teenager who went missing shortly after expressing concerns about failing her A-levels has been found in the woods close to her home, it has been confirmed.
Amy Latham, a student at Queen Elizabeth's Scool in Wimborne, Dorset, disappeared on Monday after her family said she had been "very upset".
Her father Graham made an appeal on Tuesday for his daughter's safe return, saying: "I just want you to get in touch with us, we won't be angry, we just want you back."
However late on Tuesday evening, a message uploaded on to a Facebook page created to help find the 18-year-old read:
Tributes have started pouring in for the teen, with Pippa Hendricks writing: "From your extended family and friends in Australia, we can't tell you how sorry we are to hear of your news... All our thoughts are with you, and we hope your memories and happiness with Amy will remain with you from now on."
Amy took to Twitter a few weeks before her disappearance to voice her concerns about the lack of revision she had done for her exams.
On May 16 she tweeted:
someone kill me before i fuck up my english exam for the second time in a row #fuckretakes— Amy (@amyylatham) May 16, 2014
Adding on June 5:
Option 1: stay in, cry over Macbeth notes, fail english A-level
Option 2: go out, cry over ignored responsibilities, fail english A-level— Amy (@amyylatham) June 5, 2014
Amy, who lived with her father, had just finished her A-levels and was planning to take a gap year to visit her sister in Australia, the Bournemouth Echo reported.

New versions of Symantec's Enterprise Firewall and Enterprise VPN (virtual private network) products now feature support for the new Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), secure video-conferencing through the firewall and easier VPN deployment to its offerings, the vendor announced on Monday.
Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7.0 includes a new engine for inspecting traffic flowing through the firewall, according to Barry Cioe, director of product management at Symantec. The engine provides full inspection of all traffic, and allows for full inspection of video-conferencing applications used securely in conjunction with the firewall, Cioe said. The firewall also adds support for AES -- the new government-approved encryption standard --, improved management features and load-balancing to enable the firewall to handle higher volumes of traffic more easily, he added.
Version 7.0 of Symantec Enterprise VPN also adds support for AES to the IPSec-compatible virtual private network software, Cioe said, but also aims to make deploying and configuring the VPN easier. Virtual private networks are a secure method of using the Internet to connect to a corporate network as if a remote user were connected locally. The new version of the software offers administrators the option to create a preconfigured "bootstrap" file which can be automatically downloaded to the client whenever the client tries to create a connection, he said, allowing for easy policy creation and updating.
Both applications run on Windows NT and 2000, as well as on Solaris 7, with the new versions of each adding support for Solaris 8, Cioe said. Both applications are available worldwide immediately at a cost of $US1995 each. Symantec Enterprise Firewall 7.0 can be purchased with Enterprise VPN integrated for around $3000, he added. The VPN client runs on Windows 95/98/ME/XP, with pricing based upon the licence purchased.

Intelligent wonderment
- James watkin
- 5/26/17
Number one sci fi movie of the 50s. In front of war of the world's, Day the earth stood still, invasion of the body snatches, and The thing. Has all the gee whizz factors of the genre. Spaceship; robot; and futuristic sets. And with the weirdest, otherworldly soundtrack. But with a story that's thought-provoking, psychologically speaking. "Monsters from the ID". Brilliant.
Forbidden Planet
- Michael Whitty
- 12/9/16
One of the best sci-fi films of the 50s with Leslie Nielson and his crew visit a planet where Walter Pidgeon and daughter Anne Francis have a big house but are living with a possible monster attack. They have a big Robot that can do some things but for its time "Forbidden Planet" was a wonder and still holds imagination for audiences now.
Get Serious, Will YOU???

With all of the hoaky Sci-Fi Films that were comming out of Hollywood and out of Japan, I would say that This was one of the better ones. At the age of 10 years old, I would say that is a lot since a Japan kept on shelling out Godzilla movies like it was going out of style. To tell you the honest truth, I really haven't seen the whole move yet because of interruptions, power, bathroom breaks, parts cut out to suit the chief advertisers who cut the film so they can sell their products, not to mention being hustled off to bed because the next day was a school day(all of this sound familiar???) A kid can never win because of their age and they end up missing some things.For what I have seen, I consider this one of the better sci-fi films to come out of the 1950s other than "The Day the Earth Stood Still" with Michael Rene and Patrica Neal.
- Todd Holmes

The first time I saw Forbidden Planet is when I was a young child watching it on our black and white T.V. The imagery of the film, with the addition of Robby the Robot so impressed me that my child hood dreams invoked the landing of the flying saucer shaped intersteller space craft, the out of this world architecture of the Krell, and of course the "Monster from the Id". I have watched Forbidden Planet many, many times since then, and I never tire of it. The special effects are way ahead of it's time. Even the concept of a hologram is invisioned when Dr. Morbius is able to create his daughter Alta's physical form "From micro second to micro second" The entire look of the film is like a 1950's pulp science fiction magazine cover art. Forbidden planet is the greatest science fiction film ever made in America. The George Pal version of The War of the Worlds, and Stanley Kubrick's 2001 a Space Odyssey are close seconds and thirds.
My favorite movie of all time.
- Buck Conyers
- 1/13/14
Something for all ages. Looks great, sounds great, intelligent characters, sharp dialogue, scary, beautiful, engrossing, and a perfect exposition of how the rational scientific mind's delusional self-idolatry leads inevitably to an irrational dead end. Our modern culture is living it today.
Getting Better
- Albert
- 5/15/13
This movei only gets better with time. The first to "realisticaly" portray an alien world with depth. Yes, loosely based on "The Tempest" it does so much in it's running time. Eeriely opening with the electronic score and moving us across the galaxy to our final destination. This never rally stops there is always another wonder for us. I first saw this a couple of years after it was released. Even as a6 year old I knew things were not going to be the same after. While living in L.A. back in the 70's I caught this on a double feature with "The Time Machine". It was part of a festival and the prints were gorgeous. The fun part was seeing them together and recognizing some of the props in the museum Rod Taylor visits in "The Time Machine". Ther in all it's dusty glory was th ship's "space astrogator". The FP ship turns up in many episodes of the original "Twilight Zone" as wellas the weapons and costumes. And was any body a more beautiful space siren than Anne Francis? So, am I the only one to see the seminal influences on Gene Roddenberry? I will definitely be wtaching again.
Planet Shakespeare
- Wet Blanket
- 12/18/12
Richard, I copied this paragraph from Wikipedia:The 1956 science fiction film Forbidden Planet set the story on Altair IV, a planet in space rather than an island in the ocean. Professor Morbius (Walter Pidgeon) and his daughter Altaira (Anne Francis) are the Prospero and Miranda figures. Both Prospero and Morbius has gained the knowledge required to harness the mighty forces that inhibits their new home. Ariel is represented by the helpful Robbie the Robot, while Sycorax is replaced with the powerful race of Krell. Caliban is represented by the dangerous and invisible "monster from the id": a projection of Morbius' psyche, born from Krell's technology instead of Sycorax's womb.I hope this is helpful.oogie
Permissible Planet
- Wet Blanket
- 12/18/12
The story is based on the somewhat complex Shakespeare play, "The Tempest". I think this movie could have been much better if it hadn't tried so hard to be a comedy. That silly robot is more distracting than Miss Frances' mini-dress. The viewers are jerked around between an interesting and top-rate Sci-Fi story, and the exploits of Cookie and Robby. Sorry Earl, but Cookie should have stayed in the galley, and Bourbon does not come from Kansas City.
Tempest Comparison
- Richard Thorpe
- 12/15/12
I'll submit Forbidden Planet is not only the greatest Sci- Fi of the fifties but all-time. I get excited every time TCM offers the film.Many keep comparing the plot of the film to Shakespeare's, The Tempest. They never elaborate. Please enlighten me. What parallels are there between Forbidden Planet and the The Tempest?
one of my all time favorites

this movie was so wonderful for me growing up. even now i love this movie. i recommend this for the family.
Forbidden Planet
- Dashiell Barnes
- 7/20/12
One of the greatest & most iconic Sci-go film from the 50's. Francis & the memorable "Robby, the Robot" steal the show from Nielsen & Pidgeon. Amazing sets, sound & Oscar-nominated special effects immediately grab our attention from the start. A slow-paced adaptation of Shakespeare's "The Tempest," but it's also a must-see. I give it a 4.5/5.
Forbidden Planet
- 8/31/11
Thank U 4 showing Forbidden Planet. It's a marvelous classic sci-fi motion picture, with the classic art director,Cedric Gibbons.I was wondering if U knew about the uncut version.This is the version, where at the end of the movie, you actually see the monster from the ID, picking up Walter Pigeon, before it terminates him.It is still a great movie either way.TCM's the Top.
Must See - Once
- Michele
- 10/7/10
Ah, FP - what can you say about this Freudian Wagnerian space opera that hasn't already been said? If you've never seen it, you must. Once. Then that's enough. When the best actor in the film is a robot (who later starred in the TV series "Lost in Space"), you know there's a few problems here.And the three spacemen bear an uncanny resemblance to the three idiot sons of Mom (of Mom's Friendly Robot Company) from Futurama. But all in all, an intriguing insight into the psyche of America in 1956. Kudos to TCM for running this.
The Tempest of Outer Space
- Frank Harris Horn
- 8/20/10
It has been called one of the most acclaimed science-fiction movies ever made. Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis and Leslie Nielsen star in this immortal Shakespearean-type sci-fi classic about a futuristic Earth spaceship landing on a remote planet to investigate the disappearance of an Earth colony, and it's crew discovers a mysterious scientist (Pidgeon) and his beautiful daughter (Francis) living there and are being threaten by a gigantic invisible monster. The most interesting character in the film is Robby the Robot. Great special effects for it's day, along with eerie electronic score. Also starring Warren Stevens, Jack Kelly, Richard Anderson, Earl Holliman, George Wallace, James Drury, Harry Harvey, Jr., & Bob Dix.
Forbidden Planet (1956)
- James Higgins
- 1/20/10
Very imaginative, impressive special effects for it's time. It clearly had a good budget to work with and it shows. It has it's dated elements, particularly the blatant sexism. Creative art direction. It's one of those movies you have to put yourself in the time it was made, on that note, a fine film.
First Serious Space Sci-Fi
- Bruce Reber
- 4/2/09
Before "Forbidden Planet" there were several films made about space travel, but they were cheaply made and had very low production values. I have seen FP several times, and for me this the best space travel film from the 50's. It is well-made and visually impressive, mainly because it was made by MGM, a studio that was famous for lavish musicals, period dramas and sophisticated comedies. This was MGM's first sci-fi effort, and it set the standards for many films of its kind to come later, including MGM's own "2001: A Space Odyssey" in 1968. FP is loosely based on Shakespeare's "The Tempest", and I particularly like Robby, the marvelous talking robot who almost has a human personality, much like that of the talking computer HAL in "2001". All of the actors in FP are great, and Anne Francis as Alta looks very hot in those costumes (in a 1950's futuristic kind of way of course). Robby and Alta are the only ones to return with the C57D crew, as Morbius is ultimately destroyed by the id and he must destroy Altair to save the universe from its evil power.Awesome sci-fi, 4 stars!

Thoughts from my ID on FORBIDDEN PLANET
- Nicholas Krisfalusy
- 9/25/07
Imagination truely is a wonderful thing! My most favorite of all Science Fiction movies this one has Humor, drama, suspense, action and even SEX! Incredible for its time - 1956 - this movie takes you to The Krell World where technology is a mere million years ahead of Earth technology. I still wonder when I will get my own Robby the Robot whom I am sure makes alot better coffee than me!I highly recommend this wonderful movie, so take a trip soon to Altair 4 and enjoy!Blasters away~~Nicholas
Masterful story
- Dan
- 7/13/07
Forbidden Planet is one of the most highly regarded Sci-Fi's of the 50's. Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, and Leslie Nielson stars in this intelligent masterpiece. Done in Eastmancolor with stunning artdirection and a masterful plot, that reminds me of the Star Trek series, or 2001: a space odyssey with a story that's way ahead of it's time. Highly recommend to all Sci-Fi fan or anyone that is curious with this film.

This movie was the 1st one shown during our city's 50th Anniversary Celebration today and here is a brief synopsis:A spaceship crew arrives to investigate the silence of a planet's colony. All of the colony's inhabitants have been killed except Dr. Morbius and his daughter, Altaira. The crew must contend with invisible monsters and deadly secrets. This groundbreaking sci-fi film was based in part on Shakespeare's "The Tempest."

Leading the girls, Lucy McLean won league honors in slalom, giant slalom and combined categories, while teammate Kelli Clark was second in slalom and combined and Korey Cimock was second in giant slalom and third in combined. Austin Keillor was first in all three categories for the boys, while teammate William Lamer was second in giant slalom, fourth in slalom and third combined.
Both boys and girls teams claimed overall champion honors as well after winning every league race of the season. The Dalles was runner-up in both categories, with Eli Holeman the top finisher for the boys at second in slalom third in giant slalom and second combined.
The HRV racers will see how they compare to the rest of the state's top skiers this week at the state championships, hosted at Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Area. After a practice day Wednesday, boys and girls will alternate slalom and giant slalom on Thursday and Friday.
Meanwhile, the HRV freestyle team competed in their state events Monday and Tuesday at Meadows. Full results from the event will run in the March 7 Hood River News, but highlighting Monday's action was Patrick Crompton's winning performance in the skiercross event. The freestyle team also won boys and girls league titles, although their competition wasn't much to speak of.
Finally, Hannah Bergemann and William Lamer were awarded the league's Ski Meister award over the weekend for being the top boy and girl skier in the league in a combination of freestyle and race events.

Girls team: HRV 1st, The Dalles 2nd, St. Mary's 3rd

A Tribute To The Mancave
You know it's bad when you have random girls over for the sole purpose of having them wash your dishes. This thought occurred to me a couple months ago while I was flipping my burritos on the skillet with pliers (due to the lack of clean spatulas…). I've since had a few changes in my living situation but I will forever value that era of wallowing in glorious singlehood. I'm still single but I've given up the whole 'wallowing' thing. I doubt I will ever descend to that level again but honestly, it was fun while it lasted. I wasn't poor by any means but money always had a better, more adventurous place to go rather than basic hygiene. (Speaking of hygiene it is never funny to make fun of female hygiene… end of story. Period!)
Dane Cook: "You know you're a bachelor when it gets to this point: When you've got one light bulb left, and you just keep taking it out and bringing it into the room you need it in. That's how sad and lonely you are. You won't even buy bulbs."
My friend recently pulled out some posters she'd saved from the mancave before it's conquest and eventual evacuation. One was of Chuck Norris and various quotes denoting his ability to blow bubbles with beef jerky and the use of his hair in the making of bulletproof vests for law enforcement agencies across the planet… the other a list of what to do in the event of a zombie Apocalypse… 6. BOOBIES ARE GOOD (praising the pros of setting booby traps) etc.
50 inch TVs and two high powered gaming consoles adorned the den wall and the blinds were all eventually destroyed and replaced with blankets or sheets. Once again I'd like to reiterate my lack of desire to ever experience this again… I have much grander plans for my existence in this dog eat dog world. As I move up in the corporate hierarchy there are a few things I wouldn't mind adding to the experience.
1. Pool. Complete with a sign declaring "Welcome to my _OOL, Notice there is no "P" in it. I'd like to keep it that way" (if there's any other pool jokes floating around out there feel free to enlighten me). Throw in a hot tub, nearby trampoline and basketball hoop and we'll be ready to rock and roll!
2. The universal house remote. A condo complete with mood buttons! I can press on the remote that adjust the aesthetics and lighting appropriately. You know you've made it when walls move, sounds permeate the air, lights change and your residence can turn into a club or a house of love at the touch of a button.
A few games of battle shots, chess shots, beer pong, ultimate beer pong, a stripper pole, a poker table, ping pong and a pool table and we are good to go! What would you put in your ultimate man cave men? And for the women… what do you secretly like about the mancave experience (perhaps)? GO! 🙂

When was the last time you lost your keys? Or forgot someone's name? Or went into a room and forgot why you were there?
When that happened (and one of those three has happened to most of us), what went through your mind? Most importantly, what did you decide was the cause of your mental slip? Maybe you said to yourself, I didn't sleep well last night, or, I have been really distracted lately, or, I have been under too much stress, or (hopfully not) I must be getting Alzheimer's.
If these mental slips happen to you regularly and often, you may have wondered, what can I do to improve my mind? How can I get back to that mental sharpness I once had? Of course there are many things that I can suggest for you. For now, we are going to look at one concrete thing you can do for your brain—speak a second language.
A 2010 study conducted at the Rotman Research Institute in Toronto, Canada, found that persons who spoke two languages were delayed in the onset of Alzheimer's Disease by an average of 5.1 years, over persons who spoke only one language. The researchers believe that knowing that second language gives us backup resources in our brains to keep them working, even when threatened with Alzheimer's Disease. Just knowing that second language helped people in the study keep their wits about them an average of five more years.
I feel rather proud of myself on this point. A couple of years ago I bought a computer program (Rosetta Stone) that is helping me learn Spanish, so that I can communicate with my Mexican friends and colleagues when I visit Mexico. It is nice to know that I am improving not only my relationships with my friends, but my brain power as well.
Think about how this information can work for you. Could you dust off your high school French and kick your brain back into fourth gear? Could you take a community education course in German, then reward yourself with a trip to Berlin to try out your new skills? Whether you decide to learn a new language or try something entirely different, I encourage you to keep your mind active. I invite you back for my next post: Using music to strengthen your mind.

A few years ago we were encouraged to keep a journal, under the assumption that 12 months later so many unexpected things would happen that the journal would offer powerful insight. 12 months after that challenge was issued, they were right. I was startled by the unexpected results, in that hardly anything happened that year of note. Of course… that was the last year I can say that about, but I digress.
At the moment I feel something similar. One of my primary and least likely goals was to survive 10 years after my diagnosis. Today is the anniversary of that 10th year. During the last decade I tried to imagine this day and always came up short. In many of my therapy sessions they'd ask "where do you see yourself in a week? A month? A year? 10 years?" I could never answer.
So here I sit, trying to somehow take an assessment of the last 10 years and what it all means. And I find that instead of a raucous celebration, I feel an odd sort of numbness. A bewildered sense of "now what"? I have climbed the mountain. What do I do next?
I suppose I should start with the obvious. My diagnosis is, specifically:
- Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) AKA "rapid cycle bipolar" (ok, I admit it. This is in ADDITION to the Bipolar I diagnosis, not instead of)
- Borderline Personality Disorder
- Prosopagnosia (face blind)
- Anterograde amnesia
- Degenerative Disc Disease in 5 disks
- Possible stroke (undiagnosed)
Looking over this list, my knee-jerk reaction is to strongly advise anyone who enjoys good health to thank God every single day, and never take a moment of it for granted.
But what else?
I'm typing in the dark. The sun is setting but I haven't opened the windows yet. Everything in this house is designed to combat heat and the Great Oppressor who delights in cooking us daily. Because of this, the only light source currently is the monitor. Looking down, I can see the scars that cover my arms in stark 3-D. The left arm is Much worse than the right, because I'm right handed. There's a large round scar on the back of my left hand, and criss cross lines moving from wrists to elbow. The darkness does not reveal similar scars covering both legs, from knee to ankle. Most of these were inflicted in the first two years after the diagnosis, which means the freshest is 8 years old. Even still, they're dramatic. Especially in this light.
Why the hell would anyone do that to themselves?
A mental illness acts on its own accord. Just as a tumor grows and gets larger without asking permission of the body it inhabits, so does a mental illness act without asking permission of the host. The best way to describe it is a parasite that occasionally takes control.
The Beast within makes a person numb, controls the exterior, including speech and motion. One way to bring myself, my lucid self, back to the forefront was by pain. If I could just FEEL something, my true self would react.
In this way, I fought for my life. I brought myself back. And then retreated. And brought myself back again. And on and on. It's not the story of my life. It's actually the story of my death. Whatever had been me died ten years ago today. The scars are her epitaph.
What came after? For a time there was the crucible of simple, pure madness. One that proves Nietzsche was right. After that was silence. A stillness of mind and body that, in retrospect, has more in common with death than life. Gestation, perhaps.
What do you think an infant experiences as it's born? Discomfort certainly. The area is too small, and it can't breathe. The lights are too bright, and it's cold. There's pain, and noise, and a desperate unhappiness that an uncongealed brain simply can't take in. And so it wails, a piercing sound of confused betrayal.
That's what happened when I woke up. It was sudden. It came with a question. "Wait, how can that be right? This doesn't make sense, because …" This phrase ushered in everything I am now. It took maybe six years, and some part of me wonders if I shouldn't be starting the first grade this September. In a certain way it would make sense.
Ten years. I have survived, and to what end? I used to think that Earth defined the pointless. That humans only existed to breed. A life, a death, the species propagates, and who cares? But now one thing I've come to understand is the journey. The part of this which can not be seen, unless gifted with a very special vision.
And that, at last, is the point. The answer to life, the universe and everything. The understanding of the journey, the paths that have been travelled, the promise of the destination, the lessons learned along the way.
Unless I had died, I would have no chance to live. August 17, 2001, was the best day of both my old and new life. It took ten years to understand that. But what is ten years, when on the path?

The idea that government could do a better job of protecting airports than private industry had little to do with the experience of security-conscious countries such as Israel, which set rigorous standards but employ private screeners.

Bricks covered the walls and ceiling–if indeed you could call the arch overhead a ceiling. They weren't the symmetrical rectangular bricks I was used to, rather these bricks were thick and thin, long and short, pock-marked and smooth. These bricks were around six-hundred-years-old!
The lighting was dim, much as it would have been in the 15th century. Flame burning torches would have provided the light in that time, rather than the electric lights installed over the bricks above my head.
I was in the undercroft–the brick-lined, vaulted storage room or cellar–of Cardiff Castle in Cardiff, Wales, ready to take part in a Welsh medieval banquet.
- Cardiff Castle is on the site of two early Roman forts, with the first built around 55 AD.
- A Norman keep (or strongpoint) was built on the site in 1091 by Robert Fitzhamon.
- The castle changed owners many times over the next centuries depending on the alliances of the rulers of Wales.
- In 1766 the Bute family took over the castle and brought power and prosperity to Cardiff.
- The Bute's englarged and redesigned the castle into a Victorian mansion style.
- In 1947 the Castle was given to the people of Cardiff by the 5th Marquess of Bute.
My visit to the castle was part of the planned activities for the TMAC (Travel Media Association of Canada) conference held in Cardiff, Wales March 7 – 11, 2010.
I'd already discovered Cardiff was a fascinating city before setting off for the much-anticipated banquet at Cardiff Castle. With daily events at Cardiff's City Hall, my walk from the Barcelo Angel Hotel where I was staying had taken me right past the castle several times a day.
I couldn't wait to get inside!
The evening began with a glass of mead–for those who dared brave this ancient drink–in a waiting area.
Mead, some say, is the ancestor of all alcoholic drinks, while the specific origin of this honey wine or beer has been lost. Archeologists know that it dates back as far as at least 7000 BC in Northern China, and the Bell-Beaker culture in 2800-1800 BC in Europe.
Today, mead is produced in Wales in a meadery following traditional recipes. My thoughts on it? Well, even though it's a honey based drink, I didn't find this mead overly sweet. It was definitely strong, though, and pretty high in alcoholic content (mead may range from 8% like a strong beer to 18%, which is more akin to a strong wine). One glass was definitely enough!
The undercroft dining room soon opened and the whole group, some fifty or so people, moved into it. Serving staff were all costumed, and I soon realized were also the evening entertainers. The music was provided by a harp–an instrument I've long admired, and if I had any musical talent whatsoever may have learned how to play.
The meal, as pretty well every meal I had in Wales had been, was four courses. I found the first course of glamorgan sausage served with red onion marmalade and wild leaf salad quite tasty. Contrary to expectations, the glamorgan sausage is actually cheese based (thus the V for vegetarian on my menu!) originally made with Glamorgan cheese. Now, however, it's made with Caerphilly cheese, leeks and breadcrumbs that went very well with the onion marmalade.
It was followed by a lamb cawl–soup or stew that's the national dish of Wales–and a dinner roll. The dish I had was like a chunky soup, and quite tasty even though I was rapidly approaching a maximum lamb consumption level. While I could count on one hand the number of times I'd eaten lamb before I went to Wales, now I'd have to use all my fingers and toes twice over!
The main course was chicken breast, vegetables and minted potatoes. It was followed with dessert, which is usually my favorite part of the meal and this time was no exception. Honey, obviously a more integral part of Welsh cooking than Canadian, was the most important ingredient in the honey creme mousse topped with raspberries and chocolate, along with a Danzy Jones (Welsh whisky) Creme Anglaise. It was light and sweet and melt-in-your mouth delicious. Yum!
Between all of these courses, we of course had glasses of wine (no more mead!) and entertainment by our very talented servers. Here's a short sample from a video I uploaded to YouTube:
My Cardiff Castle experience ended up #12 on my 2012 staycation of great places I've visited in years past due to its history–while I've walked through a number of castles in various states of repair, from crumbling remains to beautifully restored, I really valued the opportunity to spend time in a place where people had been living since the 15th century. Indeed, Cardiff Castle is often described as one of Wales' leading heritage attractions and a site of international significance.

In these mad times, who are we but the embryos of futility, dragging our carcasses across stone lit dawn? Where haphazard circumstance bleeds viscous phlegm onto a blind god's palms, compassion is irreverent. Liquid is liquid- might be rain, might be blood, your word against mine. How then do we stumble forward, hoping at be to catch a break and not be cast off with the flow of tide? At peak hour for moratorium, the best we can offer is paltry and honest submission to our chemistry, to the science that give us sight, and the sighing that rings our plight. Never letting the effortless stipulations extracted from half-beating hearts bear the torch for the day's grudge yields only the optimal insignificance required to coexist. The dotted red lines speak truth but neglect the frenzied art of the moment, and sometimes cynicism is mistaken for reason in shaving with Occam's razor. If only half the centerfold desires of the moment were manifest in tranquil awe before our wildest imaginings- maybe then could we actually participate. Maybe then. Maybe then becomes the idealist's repertoire and, to the ears of said judge, grandiloquence.
So we spit in the gentle faces and wipe away our broken tears with a grim hope that shiver is reflex and not mode, that the humming is pretense, and not the song. Shy, shy away from the glimmer. Shy, shy away from the tremors. Never again insult or castigate the hand that blends truth in the slip of finger and calls it art.
No, no, we are not the sole surveyors of this anomaly. We instead ratchet up and ratchet down until the bolt's too tight to slip and worn of grip. In my fondest memories somewhere, a hero swarms the battlements and waves no flag. He swings no swords, he sings no chords. Just watches as prophecy unravels and reveals then turns in spite, and burns in flight.
Never give to the thicket what the tree will drop of its own accord.
