Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Technical Questions Component vs. "s"

About 14 years ago I saw in a Bdrm. high up on the wall was a recessed area just big enough to put a 20' tv and at that time it seemed soooo modern and hi-tech. Now those thin plasmas mounted on the wall especially in the living areas just bowl me over.

>>I wish you guys would get it right! It's "Klaatu barada nikto!

Not in Army of Darkness :

The real thing

Nah! They're just trying to get the original correct and failing. The original is the one above.

Agree the original is as you said, but with a user name like "Ash Boomstick" I would still have to weigh in that he's talking about Army of Darkness :



Still one of my all-time favorite movies.

Ash: Klaatu verrata nectu.
Wise man: Again.
Ash: Klaatu verrata nectu.
Wise man: Again.
Ash: I got it, I got it. I know your damn words, right?

I'm still trying to figure out what Klatt-Veratt-Nectar means.........? And Army of Darkness sounds like a chainsaw chop-chop movie...and I'm 43. Did I miss an episode or two of the original Star Wars?

yeah its coming off of AOD. ned- funny you mention Star Wars though, in Return of the Jedi three of Jabba's henchmen are named Klaatu, Nikto, and Barada (they're actually Raimi's homage to The Day the Earth Stood Still)

>>And Army of Darkness sounds like a chainsaw chop-chop movie...and I'm 43.

If you're 43 and haven't seen AOD yet what are you waiting for ? Imagine Monty Python meets Doom2.

Army of Darkness is a bit hard to pigeonhole, although definitely one of the funniest movies I have seen. It's the third movie in the Evil Dead series, although very different from the first two. More of a shotgun film than a chainsaw film, the chainsaw is just bigger and easier to see in the poster.

"Trapped in time... surrounded by evil... low on gas..."

"Army of Darkness is the third and last part in a series of horror-movies by Sam Raimi, starring Bruce Campbell as the hero Ash, a quite ordinary guy who works as a clerk in a mall called "S-Mart". Ash gets sucked into a tornado and ends up in medieval England, equipped only with a shotgun and a chainsaw. There he must retrieve an unholy book from an ancient graveyard in order to create a passage back to his own time. Unfortunately he fails to pronounce the spell that unlocks the curse over the book, which results in the awakening of an army of undead warriors..."

If you get a chance to see Army of Darkness I strongly recommend it, although it is more of a "watch with your friends" than "watch with your young kids" kind of film.

The original "Klaatu..." phrase was a command given to the giant robot guardian in The Day the Earth Stood Still, a classic sci-fi film from the 50s.

There is even a newer widescreen version of AOD in DD 5.1. It sounds pretty good.

oh yeah, the "boomstick edition". its only about the 18th version of the movie Anchor Bay has put out, but at least it has the theatrical AND directors version, so i could justify buying it. my WIFE couldnt, but what does she know, she married my dumb @ss!

You can't be all that bad if you're an AOD fan.
