Richard Matheson, who wrote the original "I Am Legend" novel and numerous Twilight Zone" episodes, adapted two of Jules Verne's stories into one screenplay. "Clipper of the Clouds" (1886) and "Master of the World" (1904) both featured the main character named Robur. The well-adapted writing and big name stars such as Vincent Price and Charles Bronson, yield a result above AIP's usual low-budget average. Overall, (MotW) fits well into the film portfolio of Verne stories. Quick Plot Synopsis After a prelude of some silly (failure) flying machines footage, the movie begins in earnest. Fearful rumblings, flames, and voices quoting Scripture come from atop a ... Read Full Story

“Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” Web design still amazes me. Apparently, I’m alone here. I grew up with loads and loads of sci-fi. I wasn’t really crazy about flying cars (though they still owe us that…) and space travel as much as I was with virtual realities. The idea of reinventing the world we live in has always obsessed me. I have always considered that we have LOTS of limitations and our choices narrow our capabilities. We get what we can, not what we really want . The Internet made me dream of a universe much sweeter than the one I lived in. ... Read Full Story
