I just had a 'Holy crap!' moment.

I just got through watching "The Andromeda Strain" for the first time in many years, and (like I said) I had a "holy crap" moment when it dawned on me that there are a lot of similarities between the two. They are alive, but not alive, they both readily convert matter into energy, and energy into matter. They both feed on energy and use it to grow. There are probably others, but I think I've made my point.

It shouldn't really surprise me when I remember the old adage, (forgive me if it's not exactly right) that there are only 4 stories that all movies are based on. There are variations in minor details, but that's about it.

It really hit me as I was watching the end when show an animation of the organism growing, with all the visuals and sounds going on. So I had to tell someone.

Agree, disagree, comments?
