Back then many thought the future of air travel would had been air ships. Flying hotels, hospitals
, etc.
One did envision space travel back in the '30's, see how that turned out.

They were experimenting / developing electronic television here during the 30's but a standard couldn't be set. (history repeated during the 1990's with HD
) One station operated in New York, broadcasting FDR.
Europe was ahead of us, especially the UK and Germany.
Camera used during the 1936 Berlin Olympics
There was a system developed during the 1920's called Baird. It's more mechanical but it actually worked to a degree.
the Baird Televisor employed a neon tube.

Beside some of the ones mentioned but also...

Aquaman
Be interesting if Hollywood bring the Herculoids and Space Ghost to life. Some years back a fan had a design neater than this, can no longer find the image.
wish someone would update the Herculoids theme and without the distracting sound effects. that theme rocks and so does the theme to Birdman and also Samson and Goliath.

I've always have found things to come to be an astounding visual treat for the eyes. this has been colorized and given the choice of black & white or color, color should be the choice.
why? because it makes things to come that more astounding and enjoyable.
so get on the bandwagon and support color..."what has another day to offer you, timonides?" -marcus aurelius
"warmth, life, color." -timonidesand guess who speaks in support of colorization in the intro to the colorized Things To Come...
someone who tcm has unceasingly heaped praise after praise upon...
the great RAY HARRYHAUSEN!
"well that's the whole case!" - lee j. cobb, twelve angry men"which shall it be?"

there's this one line of dialogue in Death Hunt (1981) that always gives me a chuckle.
big man hotshot RCAF pilot Hank Tucker who's there to bring in the fugitive Albert Johnson says to millan and sundog after showing them some papers...
"I don't have to tell you that all this is top secret and highly confidential"...
and sundog says...
"who do you think we're gonna tell, the trees?"

Jeff Corey and Ann Sothern in Lady in a Cage (1964)
ann sothern still looks like a knockout but Corey looks like he ate too many corn dodgers.

never cared for the character. cliff barnes was lucky JR was even willing to engage in mental combat with him and every word out of JRs mouth was an acknowledgement of how stupid cliff barnes was.

they dismiss Jeffrey hunter for some stupid reason, his blue eyes, but I'm sorry, his portrayal of jesus imo is the best.
I like sydow too but he's a tad too stoic.
jeffrey hunter's performance is strong and heartfelt.

My favorite Peter Ustinov film and my favorite all-time epic of the ancient world:
Peter Ustinov as Kaptah in The Egyptian
I like it too, much underappreciated. I love it when kaptah says to merite...
"offer him more than she can."...
just before she whacks him with her broom.

Ah, and THEN there was Randy Twizzle here...
...played by young actor and hopeful teen idol Jerry Lanning, and who's song performed on The Dick Van Dyke Show would start a new dance craze in the early-'60s known of course as "The Twizzle"!
(...and an episode of that classic sitcom that many, including Carl Reiner, consider THE worst episode ever...and I'm one of 'em)
I never knew Edmund purdom guested on the dick van dyke show.
