@nyrath @foone @DenOfEarth In the spring, the Great Machine of the Krell registers a blip on the furthest meter, as I start shitposting.

@nyrath @foone @DenOfEarth I just *barely* remember watching "Time Tunnel" during its run.

The one episode I recall involved a crew of pirates invading the control room from the past.

[foone@digipres.club]

@nyrath @DenOfEarth The best place is in a beautiful matte painting of an incredibly large machine, for sure!

@StefanEJones @foone @DenOfEarth

Oh, I watched all the episodes of The Time Tunnel. Especially the one with the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

When the attack happened, my father was a little boy living on Hilo, the island next door to Pearl Harbor.

@StefanEJones
Incidentally I can't remember where I read it, but someone was remembering walking down the CERN tunnel and the host made that same joke, pointing in every direction.

@nyrath @StefanEJones @foone
Goodness.

@foone @nyrath
Another of my favourite matte paintings

[crazymoosething@mastodon.art]

@StefanEJones @nyrath @foone @DenOfEarth I watched them all too as tyke. Only later did I realize they only ended up where there was stock footage from the studio’s historical movies!

[stefanejones@dice.camp]

@DenOfEarth Well that might have been me, but it was the accelerator in Brookhaven, on Long Island!

He and a bunch of SF authors, guest of the campus sci-fi convention, were on tour.

[stefanejones@dice.camp]

@DenOfEarth @nyrath @foone I bet Time Tunnel is on one of those nostalgia channels, or Tubi.

@CrazyMooseThing
The sirens and lights as the entire building receded into the ground mesmerized me as a kid.

[denofearth@mas.to]

@StefanEJones
Ha! No it was definitely CERN.
I'm sure it's been done more than once!

[stefanejones@dice.camp]

@DenOfEarth I'll have to tell my friend!

[cptbutton@dice.camp]

@StefanEJones @DenOfEarth @nyrath @foone

Internet Archive seems to have all the episodes and didn't have problems with a few spot checks.

@CrazyMooseThing @StefanEJones @nyrath @foone @DenOfEarth

Something Something Omega Point recreation.

@nyrath @foone @DenOfEarth Depending on how many legs you have, this place is either not the greatest, or it's party time!

@DenOfEarth The matte paintings in that movie are bonkers 🤯
