You must say these words: Klaatu Barada Nikto...
Halloween is upon us and hopefully there will be lots of Sy-Fy movie marathons. Of my favorites I would list "The Time Machine" Orson Wells version and the classic 1951 film, "The Day the Earth Stood Still" starring Michael Rennie (as Klaatu) and Patricia Neal (as Helen Benson).The scary part was when Klaatu got shot and Gort (the protector robot) decides to melt his acrylic encasement (the military actually thought he was fused in there forever) and start on a journey of destruction until Helen recited those magical words... Klaatu Barada Nikto.
What an amazing memory that woman had. She said it once and nothing happened... that was a major "Ohshit" moment so she said it again and Gort retracted his Cyclops laser eye and all of humanity was saved!
I don't know about you guys, but if it were me, would need to write down Klaatu Barada Nikto phonetically on a sticky-note and practice it 20 times or so to get it right or chances that Earth would be reduced to a burned-out cinder would be 'pretty stinkin' high.
Bring it on bro...
