One of my favorite movies. A misunderstood classic. :)

Some posters on this board may argue that it was a critique of the socialistic ways of the Arachnids. Too bad there was not also beehive symbol to let them know we were friendly.

No wonder they were deep within the Arachnid quarantine zone! They thought they would be greeted as brethren.
