Can't give you title, chapter, or verse, but the aliens are unmistakeably feline. Movies: wasn't "Day of the Triffids" fun? Unalloyed corn, to be sure. "2001" remains undisputed master in my book: it doesn't matter what the technology available, knowing what to do with it (=talent) makes the real difference. On re-viewing a few years ago, "Forbidden Planet" seemed to have punk FX compared to my childhood memories, but a more respectable thesis than I had remembered.
