It was exhilarating to say the least. It really was a movie that must be seen in the theater to totally understand how amazing an experience it can be. I plan to set up a top ten of my favorite moments in the theater from the film tomorrow. The scenes on the moon and the alignment of the planets once Dave reaches Jupiter as the monolith travels in place, both just blew me away. Oh, and the Stargate; oh my goodness how rewarding it was. It was a good time to be had. I hadn't realized until the viewing just how much was shot (particularly when Hal "started to malfunction") without music; because the film gained a rep for its use of music, I was equally impressed with how beneficial certain scenes were in quiet with just the sound of breathing. Just awesome.

To Serve Man is nearly 60 years ago. I've been watching Twilight Zone since I was a teenager in the mid 90s thanks to Sci Fi Channel.

Syfy didn't see the value of TZ on Independence Day, except last year, so even though I cannot watch episodes like I do during New Year's Eve and Day, it is nice to try and sneak in a block of episodes whenever possible. I started with Death Ship from the fourth season, continuing with Stopover in a Quiet Town and The Gift . To Serve Man would feel like a later afternoon watch but SYFY showed it at 3:...
