together in the same post... there is something to that.

 

 

I never even thought of it like that DB!! I've had that av since the other place and they never get tired!!!!

Dallas ???? Was he Miss Ellie's boyfriend ? God my Gran used to watch that when she babysat for us - I do think I remember him now - cheers db !!

Day of the Triffids was actually required reading during my first year in High School (12/13 year olds). We then watched the movie at the end of the term.

My mother was also a Dallas fanatic and I had to sit through it a lot. Keel played one Clayton Farlow for 10 years on the show. I've no idea who that character was, though.

 

 

I never got the chance to read Day Of The Triffids until 1992, in college, some 7 years after I got the VHS. In exchange for a copy of the movie, my Botany professor gave me her copy of a paperback of the novel. It was missing its cover.

 

 

BTW, next time you should see 28 Days Later, try to not think of Day Of The Triffids when you see that guy walking through the deserted city. I saw it in a theater, and, I was thinking the same thing: guy wakes up in hospital, no one is there, roams the streets, no one is there.

It's very similar to Triffids isn't it db ?

[dbminter]

That part of it seems definitely inspired by Triffids. The rest, though, no. For instance, 28 Days seemed to establish that the plague was limited mostly to areas of the United Kingdom. Plus, there was no global blindness or man eating plants.

Hey... did we ever figure out WHAT the Hell the film in question at the start of this post was?

[lfcrule1972]

Ha ha I just assumed we were right db - it was the Triffids !!

[dbminter]

I am curious to know if it was the case. Fiend Without A Face sounded right at first, but, the new information does say it is The Day Of The Triffids, instead. I can't REST until I know!

I haven't seen Alien around for a while - maybe he has gone home ?

[kevdriver]

Alien was abducted by a threesome of terrifying Triffids. They carted him off to their ship and are performing horriffic experiments on him................. #39;( #39;( Once they learn the secrets of are exsistence they will be coming for us......... Minister Spinner can perform the excorisim to rid us of these evil Triffids.........

[dbminter]

That sounds more like Dalek doings than Triffids. Daleks have been known to abduct people... but, only for a little while, until the lawyers caught up with them.

[lfcrule1972]

I think the lawyers also had to arrange for the abductees to be re-clothed did they not ?

[dbminter]

Yes, times have certainly changed. Just 40 years ago, Triffids couldn't be seen on screen without their clothes on.

Gets worse. Attempts to edit the double post never finish posting. Screw it.
