I was thinking of the Krill monster in "Forbidden Planet."

QUOTE (Shaka @ Apr 19 2010, 03:34 PM) "Wow. Monsters from the Id" I remember that phrase from a science fiction movie, late 1950's or early 1060's. I don't remember the movie title but it featured "Robbie the Robot."  EDIT Right Jonathan It was called "Forbidden Planet"? I don't remember the name Krill, but you are undoubtedly correct. |

To be an utter purist, wasn't the extinct alien species called the "Krell"?
(Your basic alien krill would have to be pretty freakin' big to be scary, after all...  )

A hundred foot tall crustacean would scare me!

That has got to be some of the most spectacular volcano footage I've ever seen. -------------------- |

Thanks Floyd, yeah, it's been a ghastly, very surreal day. I'm many miles away from where the shootings were today, but at one point there was a rumour going around that the police had chased the gunman in his car through Kendal. Thankfully that turned out not to be true. But the shootings were in the area where I used to live before coming down here, so it's been horrible seeing many of the towns, villages and streets I know so very well caught up in this horrific incident and all over the news programmes. 12 people dead, many more injured... terrible.
