Give Me That Old-Time Gort


Well, I feeling a bit sad today because "The Day the Earth Stood Still" remake is getting dissed. I wanted it to be a great movie. Probably, it's bad. After reading some scathing reviews I turned on the TV, surfed a bit, and landed on the 1951 original. And I was lifted out of my sadness and felt like a kid again, mesmerized by Michael Rennie, waiting to see my good friend Gort, attending to and appreciating the sound track, responding to Mr. "Carpenter's" death + resurrection...
