    Last night I watched The Time Machine (1960) because a clip went viral of the Eloi not being able to read, and giving up on books, and make you think, that's us now. Anyway, I quite enjoyed it. Can some more film clips go viral please so I know what to watch tonight?

    I forgot to post on Film Score Day😔 I was raised on soundtracks. My dad has an extensive collection spanning decades. They influenced my tastes SO MUCH. Folks, check out film scores. There's more to life than Hans Zimmer. Go forth. The Time Machine (2002, Klaus Badelt) is great.

    I’m sure it’s just me but I find the extremely hyperbolic headlines at Polygon to be incredibly off putting. Calling Guy Pearce’s “The Time Machine” the most divisive time travel movie of the 20th century is cuckoo banana pants.

    Sci fi writer H.G. Wells though, was not a fan. Despite his own The Time Machine influencing the writing of the movie, Wells called it the "silliest film [I’ve ever seen] with a sort of malignant stupidity. Metropolis… is already… a third of a century out of date." 32/34

  • The 3rd Eye Review @psychicrevue.bsky.socialBluesky · Sep 20, 2026

    Here's a 1960 reprint of the classic,1895, H.G. Wells book,'The Time Machine.' The original 1957 Berkley edition was a companion to the MGM movie,starring Rod Taylor & Yvette Mimieux. Some of the 802,701 A.D. creatures in the novel are starting to look too familiar. #TheTimeMachine #HGWells #booksky

    Slightly off-topic, but you've unlocked a memory of a Craig Kilborn "Late Late Show" joke from the Monday after the movie came out: "One of the saddest scenes in the movie is when they travel to two weeks from now and find copies of 'The Time Machine' at Blockbuster."

    Watched the granddaddy of them all, George Pal's #TheTimeMachine - a film so influential, it's supplanted the novel in the popular imagination. When you mention The Time Machine, most people will be thinking of this; that it's about nuclear war, and the hero is HG Wells, who was a fit Aussie.

    Sorry but I thought it was a very silly movie. Cruise sucked. Fanning screeched a bunch. The Martians reminded me of pool vacuums. The 1953 version was better by far. Same goes with The Day the Earth Stood Still and The Time Machine. Some movies severely sucked as remakes.

    I watched 'The Time Machine' as a kid in '64 and the morlocks scared the hell out of me. And the nuclear war that destroys everything takes place in the movie in 1966 so my little mind feared we only had 2 years left. Made me a very nervous child.

    I remember loving the 1960 version of The Time Machine when I was a kid (in the 80s, I'm not that old!) but rewatching it today, I can't help but pick many holes in the plot. I guess it was better when I had less understanding and could suspend my disbelief. It is still a classic though

    I enjoyed the 2024 movie, “Here“ we saw last night. Since I was a kid I’ve imagined what it would be like to stand at a certain place at home & wind time backwards & forwards into the far reaches of each to see how that space would change. Both “The Time Machine” movies scratched that itch as well.

    Remember that scene in the movie The Time Machine, when, in the future, a woman is drowning in the river, and no one bothers to even try to save her? Feels like we are kind of there. Folks not interested in meeting their neighbors, billionaires unconcerned with others, etc. Pretty depressing.
