PROFESSOR BERNARD QUATERMASS: The will to survive, it's an odd phenomenon. Roney, if we found out our Earth was doomed, say by climatic changes, what would we do about it?

"Released From Hobbs End" is a photo manipulation of "SAM_0573 Todd Village Apartments, Tualatin, Oregon." It reminds me of the British science fiction horror film, Quatermass and the Pit (1967), aka Five Million Years to Earth (US title, 1968), that I first viewed on the telly in the 1970s when I was a wee lad.
