We're preparing for a snowstorm here, very early in the season for our area. But, I did have time to watch some more of my science fiction dvd set from Mill Creek. I'm up to the Undersea Kingdom movie serial from the 1930's starring Ray (Crash) Corrigan. It's an Atlantis type civilization that Crash and his friends explore, to their peril, of course. The Atlanteans have a juggernaut that reminds me of the one in www. It's shaped very similarly, especially after Jim blew the smoke stack off the top of the 1960's model. The 1930's one is even called a juggernaut. |

I've seen that serial and I remember the machine, but not what it looks like. I believe other serials of the era had creations like that--outlandish machines of destruction. But of course, The Wild Wild West often reminds me of those serials, especially the way we are left hanging for a commercial break with one or both of the guys in desperate trouble. |

Thanks for putting the link up, Cal Gal.
We did get that snowstorm, about 7-8 inches, which is plenty for us. We are on the coast of Maryland, not far from Ocean City, Md. and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. So, we don't normally get hit too hard. We have to dodge hurricanes sometimes, though.But, bad weather days are great for watching our brand of entertainment on dvd.
