Nora: What time would you say it is?
Dick: Say it's about 3 o'clock Earth time here.
Nora: 'Cept that we don't know how many hours are in the daily cycle here. You know this place could move around faster than our Earth!
Dick: Well let's figure it for 3 o'clock anyway! That gives us 3 or 4 hours before dark.

Movie for humans with ADF, 13 November 2000

Whoa. Bert I Gordon shows the proper misuse of stock footage and movies. How long could I keep watching switches and buttons being pressed? Oh, and of course a space expedition with 2 men and 2 women just to keep the romance interest (ugh). They land in a nice national park in California and proceed to bore you. The King turns out to be a lame lizard who likes the taste of astronauts. The acting award goes to the lemur or whatever the hell that creature was. ASPCA would've had a field day with the manhandling of the poor thing. It was yanked and tossed around like a rag doll.

Folks, beware of the films of Bert I Gordon
