Pod People

Each time I read the term 'podcasting' it makes me think of the movies. I was trying to remember the name of the movie I had in mind and did a Google search on the words 'pod people.' Did you know that there was a Mystery Science Theater 3000 film titled Pod People in 1983? Here's the Amazon information. There are quotes from it as well as some amusing trivia at the bottom of the page. I continued my search for pod people and finally found the movie I was thinking of, the Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) (Sci-Fi.Com) Here's a snippet of the movie review:

Visually, this film is beautifully composed, with unforgettable scenes such as the assembly of the pod people in the town square to receive more pods for dispersal, and the discovery of the pods in the greenhouse, all seething with alien vitality.

Don't you just love that line, seething with alien vitality? I have visions of Steve Jobs at Apple inviting the podcasting people to assemble in Cupertino, dispersing more iPods via a scavenger hunt at Billy Gates' greenhouse (that's the part where the 'seething alien vitality' comes in.)

And there ya have it. Evidence that my imagination is on overload today. :-)
