"The Day the Earth Stood Still" This supremely lame update of the sci-fi classic, starring Keanu Reeves, is assembled out of bits of every movie where an unknown whatzit threatens our way of life.

    Michael Rennie was the one and only Klaatu

    And Gort the giant silver robot

    Was his inter-galactic

    Law enforcer

    His trusty number 2

    The original "Earth Stood Still"

    Was directed by the awesomely talented director

    The late Robert Wise

    Who never, nearly ever

    Made this kind of acid refux rehashing

    This sort of:

    "The Space Turkey From Computer Generated Skies"

    Just some brief examples of Wise's body of brilliant work:

    "Curse of the Cat People"

    "The Day the Earth Stood Still"

    "Westside Story"

    "The Haunting"

    "The Sand Pebbles"

    "The Andromeda Strain"

    "The Hindenburg"

    "Star Trek the Motion Picture"
