Corman Adds More Gore and Nudity

Roger Corman felt that the picture needed more nudity, gore, and monster shots throughout, so he ordered scenes shot that showed the humanoids attacking and ripping the clothes off of other nubile young women. Director Barbara Peeters was a feminist who hated that idea and refused to shoot the scenes. Corman said he’d hire a second director and would get her feedback before using the new footage. She agreed to that. But Corman ended up never showing the new footage to her or the cast and other crew. They didn’t see them until the preview of the film. Peeters was furious, protesting that they were inserted purely to show gratuitous nudity. Corman also edited out many of the scenes dealing with the plot and character development in order to make room for the nudity and

Humanoids From the Deep Action Figure

Typically I don’t like action figures because they rarely look like the character they’re supposed to be modeled after. However, the Monstarz four inch action figure based upon Humanoids from the Deep is spectacular.
None other than special effects master Rob “The Thing” Bottin created the Humanoid creatures and I could not believe the detail Monstarz got into this figure, the articulation is great and the price is right! Available in regular or glow in the dark at the Etsy Monstarz studio store.

Did Elon Musk Remove AI Sci-Fi Film Colossus The Forbin Project?

Did Elon Musk Remove AI Sci-Fi Film Colossus The Forbin Project?
Watch the entire video here.

elon musk colossus ai forbin project

Almost two years ago, I discovered that one of my favorite science fiction films, Colossus: The Forbin Project from 1970 was suddenly removed from all streaming rental platforms.

Original AI COLOSSUS The Forbin Project

Based upon the 1966 novel Colossus by Dennis Feltham Jones, the classic 1970 sci-fi film Colossus the forbin project, directed by Joseph Sargent and starring Eric Braeden as Charles Forbin, tells the story of Charles Forbin, a scientst who creates a massive AI super computer called COLOSSUS that is capable of independently regulating the U.S. national defense. But his dream becomes a waking nightmare when it’s discovered that the Russians have built an equally sophisticated computer called GUARDIAN and that these two doomsday machines have linked.
Arriving at the conclusion that humans will destroy themselves and the world if left to their own devices, Colossus gives Forbin and humanity an ultimatum: Live in peace under the rule of Colossus as slaves or face extinction as a species.
So I made a video about it called “Colossus the forbin conspiracy” that you can find on my youtube channel. (show original thumb)

Colossus Sci-fi Film Missing from Major Platforms

As of December, 2024, Colossus the forbin project is still absent from all streaming rental platforms. Here are screenshots I grabbed only a few days ago – Amazon, Roku, Vudu-Fandango – The film is simply not available for rent or download from legitimate platforms. And yes, I know you can probably find it on illegal pirate sites. Whoopty doo.
The fact remains that, if it’s not on the major media platforms, Colossus is in effect being suppressed from the public, in other words, censored from view.

Colossus The Forbin Project Physical Media

The last DVD release of Colossus the forbin project was in 2004 and the last blu-ray release was by Shout Factory in 2018 and is still selling hundreds of copies per month. This is not some obscure science fiction film. Colossus was a major theatrical release by Universal Pictures in 1970 and today you’ll find it on many top 50 science fiction films of all time lists.

Theories behind the removal of Colossus

In my previous video, I posed several theories as to why the film was removed from the major platforms such as Universal got tired of making easy money on an old property and they yanked the film from distribution.  Stupid theory.
Or….Universal is secretly planning a remake and they shelved the “outdated” original so it doesn’t interfere with the planned remake. Low degree of probability but it is possible. Around 2010 there were talks about a Colossus remake starring Will Smith (puke) but fortunately that never went through.

Another interesting theory concerns the current hysteria and hype surrounding AI. Universal may have removed the film because of its grim, Frankenstinian depiction of artificial intelligence gone rogue on its creators, taking over the world and enslaving humankind.
I now believe that the last theory is partially correct and the rest of the answer lies with Elon Musk and his new AI supercomputer called….wait for it…COLOSSUS.

Colossus: The Musk Project

Recently, a viewer left a comment about Colossus The Forbin Project and Elon Musk’s latest AI Supercomputer theorizing that Musk may have had Universal remove the film from all streaming platforms to protect the name of his new project called Colossus.
I was aware of Musk’s project and for months I simply thought “Hey, that’s cool he named it after the original Colossus the Forbin Project.”
But after that comment, things took a dark turn and I believe that it is possible that Elon Musk paid off Universal to remove the film from online distribution to stem the flow of bad press related to his own supercomputer project. Very easy to do when you’re worth 450 billion dollars.
Sifting through interviews with Elon Musk and the numerous articles published about his X AI Colossus supercomputer, I didn’t find one mention of Jones’ original book or the film adaptation Colossus the forbin project. It’s almost as if history is being erased. Eerily reminiscient of a certain book….“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.”

But even more sinister is the idea of someone having a film removed for their own financial gain. Especially if it is someone like Elon Musk who tauts his social media platform X as the online haven for free speech, then turns around and makes a back door deal with a film distributor to completely remove a film from all video rental/download platforms, especially a landmark science fiction film like Colossus The Forbin Project which I consider to be incredibly relevant to what’s going on today with AI and supercomputers. It is a cautionary tale and one that needs to be seen, not censored.
elon musk x social media platform
However, if you take a good look around, you’ll see that people today are not only less interested in the past, they consider themselves separate and superior to it and that narrow minded hubris will certainly spell trouble for the future.
Or to quote Orwell one more time- “Every generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the one that went before it, and wiser than the one that comes after it.”
Once again, this is just another theory. I am not accusing anyone of doing anything, I’m simply posing the question.

Metal Hurlant 10 – Illustrated Sci-Fi Fantasy Magazine With Art by VOSS – Moebius – Druillet

Metal Hurlant 10 – Illustrated Sci-Fi Fantasy Magazine With Art by VOSS – Moebius – Druillet -Macedo

Today we are looking at Metal Hurlant 10 published in October of 1976 by Les Humanoids Associate.
Watch the original Metal Hurlant 10 video here.

Starting with Issue Number Nine, Metal Hurlant went monthly. Previously, it was a quarterly publication. A fantastic cover by the incredible Voss. You’ve seen Voss if you’ve watched my other Metal Hurlant and Heavy Metal magazine videos.
Metal Hurlant 10 is one of a few covers that Voss did for Metal Hurlant. The Conquering Femme Fatale hero who has just downed some kind of mutant dinosaur. Hailu always had the inside cover and they were a distributor of science fiction books as you can see the list here. Brian Aldiss, Isaac Asimov, Pierre Boulet, Arthur C Clarke, Phillip K Dick. Robert Heinlein, HP Lovecraft. Ted Sturgeon of course. Silverberg, Vonnegut…you name it.

Metal Hurlant 10 Contents

Then we have a short editorial with a great illustration by Serge Clerc and an ad for Hugo Pratt’s Fort wheeling series. Here’s a little one pager by Moebius featuring major Gruber. Contents page beginning with Major Gruber, then Psycho Rock by Macedo that’s pretty insane. Francois Rivieri Les labrantes. Moebius with “Is Man Good?” Return of the Book Eaters with a variety of writers here including Dionnet and Maneover. Le garage of course is the Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius by Moebius.
Dionnet comes up after that then we have Picaret and Tardi with Polonius chapter 3. Serge clerc presents Bing Crosby the Christmas Robot. Voss with Coincidence on page 56. Then we have artist Forrest on page 59 with the continuing Adventures of Roger Fringat by Loeb.

Metal Hurlant 10 Illustrated Sci-Fi Stories

We kick it off with the infamous Rock Blitz by Sergio Macedo. If you’ve seen my previous heavy metal videos you’ve seen this because it was reprinted in English in Heavy Metal magazine. Then we have “Is Man Good?” by Moebius. Sublime Line work by Mobius here for the Airtight Garage of Jerry Cornelius. Polonius Part Three is next, written by Picaret and drawn by Tardi.

Next we have some craziness by Serge Clerc. I always love Serge Clerc’s style, very loose and really fun. This one is called “Bing Crosby the Christmas robot in space” Then we have some primo VOSS with “La Coincidence.” His classic style always with the incredibly hot female forms. Here we have artist Forrest doing this story. The coloring is really quite good. You know it’s very loose very lewd and crude as you can see. It’s followed by The Adventures of Roger Fringat in 1976. And next we Alex doing a three or four pager.

Advert Page for Metal Hurlant Back Issues, Books, Posters

Here is the Metal Hurlant advert page featuring all of the issues to date of course issues seven, eight, and nine. I’ve already covered eight and nine folks, you can see it them in previous videos.  They’ve got the books like The Illustrated Frazetta, Science Wonder Stories, Harzac by Moebius. If you can get your hands on some of these original Metal Hurlant posters, they’re they’re kind of on the rare side. Here’s a funky ad for Futureopolis. Nice detail on this pen and ink work on the back inside cover. On the back cover a full page ad for Rock and Folk magazine. That ends our look at this great Issue Number 10 of Metal Hurlant. I hope you enjoyed it. Please like And subscribe and I will talk to you soon.

Giant Animals and Teen Exploitation In HG Wells Film Adaptations

Giant Animals and Teen Exploitation In H.G. Wells Film Adaptations

When Animals Attack!  H.G Wells food of the Gods meets B-movie Mogul Bert I Gordon – It’s not nice to fool Mother Nature!  Watch original video.

I will never disparage inaccurate predictions made by science fiction writers who grew up by candle and kerosene in the 19th century. The greats including Mary Shelley, Jules Verne, and H.D Wells had very little relevant science to go by. That being said, they still managed to get a few things right which is quite an accomplishment. I believe that H.G Wells was the first writer to introduce the theory of anti-gravity and science fiction in his 1901 book “First Men in the Moon.” In the story, a scientist creates Cavarite, a metal that Shields Against Gravity more like a gravity blocker. Since then, thousands of writers have used anti-gravity theory in novels, stories, movies, and TV shows.

Giant Creature Features

food-of-the-godsNeedless to say, Shelley’s Frankenstein is one of the most famous novels of all time and quite possibly holds the record for TV and film adaptations. It is as relevant today as the time it was published in 1818, over 200 years ago. While the 1950s saw dozens of giant creature features starring colossal insects and mega monsters mutated by nuclear radiation.  The 1970s replaced radiation for pollution and ushered in an amusing era of overgrown Critters with schlock B movie director Bert I Gordon leading the pack. But Gordon’s success in this sci-fi sub-genre owes its entire existence to one man: late 19th century – early 20th century science fiction Master H.G Wells. Born in England in 1866, Wells is rightfully famous for such masterworks as the War of the Worlds and the island of Dr Moreau which we will cover in a later episode. However, a lesser-known novel titled the “Food of the Gods” published in 1904 would end up inspiring at minimum a few dozen Sci-Fi movies of varying degrees of quality in the latter part of the 20th century, many of them directed by Bert I Gordon.

Early Bert I. Gordon Movies

Gordon was born in 1922 while Wells was still very much alive he was no doubt inspired by the British author’s novels and in particular Wells’ “The food of the Gods.” Gordon was also obsessed with giant monsters as evidenced by his first feature films including “King Dinosaur” in 1955. “The Cyclops 1957, Amazing Colossal Beast 1957, and others.

Village of the giants -Ackerman with a pair of friends

Village of the giants- Forest Ackerman hanging with a pair of friends.

 

But it wasn’t until 1965 that Gordon made his first adaptation of Wells the food of the Gods in the form of a teen exploitation flick called Village of the Giants starring Tommy Kirk, Ron Howard, Beau Bridge,s and the titillating Joy Harmon. Bert I Gordon soon earned the title of Mr Big. In the film a nerdy kid called genius creates a growth compound that results in gigantic animals a group of teenage delinquents get their hands on the compound and their giant size make them a terrifying threat to the townsfolk.

Village of the Giants

Despite its crude low budget effects, Village of the Giants is well worth watching as a textbook example of 1960s teen exploitation films. In the Wells book the food of the Gods the substance called Heracliophobia is created by scientists that grow children and inadvertently other animals into giant mutations. Eventually the town’s folk grow to resent the Giant children and the Monstrous changes to the local fauna. The book is largely thought to be more of a satire than a serious work of Science Fiction on Wells part. A quote from librivox.com – “Wells takes pot shot at every member of society: scientists, ministers, charitable heiresses, revolutionaries, and everyone in between. Yet, in the end, Wells shows his faith in both humanity and its never ceasing progress.” But Bert I Gordon wasn’t satisfied with one adaptation of Wells’ novel. Ten Years After Village of the Giants, he directed The Food of the Gods starring Marjo Gortner and Ida Lupino. This 1976 B movie Extravaganza finds football star Gortner taking a little vacation on an island only to discover that the place is crawling with oversized Critters who have eaten the naturally occurring growth compound bubbling forth from the earth behind Ida lupino’s Ranch. Like any quick thinking entrepreneur, she’s bottling this stuff while giant wasps, rats, and chickens dispatch the town folk in gruesome and sometimes hilarious ways.

Empire of the Ants

empire of the antsGordon still wasn’t satisfied. He came back a year later in 1977 with “Empire of the ants” starring Joan Collins and Robert Lansing. This time, the titular monster hymenoptera or giant ants terrorizing people in the Florida Everglades.

According to IMDb it looks like a new adaptation of the food of the Gods is in development. Not much info is given except a tantalizing image on the movie page. Guaranteed there will be a ton of CGI but perhaps they’ll throw in some animatronics and other practical effects.
We shall see. I hope you’ve enjoyed this episode of Room 101. As always, please like, share, and subscribe. Thank you.
