INTERPLANETARY HEARING AIDE

Alfredo Tarantino tests a prototype for his “interplanetary hearing aide” with which he is seen here attempting to detect sounds of life on the planet Venus from a beach near his village in Cavalaire-Sur-Mer in the south of France in 1918.  Alfredo reported that the life forms he discovered made a lot of “hissing” sounds with occassional “buzzing” and “burbling” noises. He interpreted these sounds to mean that the creatures of Venus were very similar to those on Earth.

Members of the Abundia Corona Region of the Venusian Chapter of The Order of Omega Time Travel Cult travelled from the year 8,714 AD to take this photograph in commemoration of the 3,500th Anniversary of “Earth Day”, which is the day that the Venusians took control of Earth and exterminated the pestilence formerly known as the “human race”.

POP UP A BATCH OF POPCORN, KIDDIES, AND SNUGGLE UP ON THE SOFA TO WATCH ALL 13 EPISODES OF THE CLASSIC SCI-FI SERIAL filmed in 1936:  FLASH GORDON (Starring Buster Crabb) encounter with the evil Emperor Ming the Merciless in “The Planet of Peril!” (Remember, this is 1936 when Hitler was rising to power in Fascist Germany and the world was in a economic depression caused by International Bankers.  It was filmed BEFORE the discovery of “RADIOACTIVE ENERGY”, which is mentioned in the film!  Another interesting line of dialogue from this film when the “Emperor of the Universe” his slave-bride to be brainwashed:  “Science can overcome all things — even the human emotions.”

When I was a kid my Mom gave me 10 cents to go see the “Saturday Matinee” in my little town of 2,000 people.  This was really cheap baby-sitting back then.  3 hours of freedom for my Mom and 3 hours of freedom for the kids!  Every week the theater would show black and white “serials” and a cartoon (Bugs Bunny was my favorite) before the featured film started.  Some of the “serials” I remember best were the Science Fiction ones, based on comic strips.  There were two that I love the most:  1) Flash Gordon and 2) Commando Cody.  There were other Western serials, like The Lone Ranger, and Hopalong Cassidy.  But I loved science fiction the best, and still do to this day.This is one of the truly ground-breaking, creative productions of science fiction on film.  If you haven’t seen Flash Gordon, you don’t know what REAL Science Fiction films is about.  Enjoy, Citizens of Earth!!
