I’d love to see time travelers from different time travel movie franchises accidentally bump into each other during their various adventures. Like in the year 2958, Rod Taylor’s steampunk time machine is destroyed by a Skynet T-800 Terminator robot, but then the T-800 is crushed by a phonebooth, or hit by a Deloreon …

Quick H.G. Wells appreciation post for this presentation of The Time Machine! He really showed what socially and politically conscience science fiction could do as a genre, opening things up for what the future Philip K. Dicks, Octavia E. Butlers, Rod Serlings, and Ursula K. Le Guins would give to the world.

George Pal kept the tiny Time Machine prop. Unfortunately, it was destroyed when Pal's house caught on fire years later.

I wonder if there's any The Time Machine (1960) Slash Fiction where Rod Taylor and the mannequin hook up ...

Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 2001: A Space Odyssey, the 1960 version of The Time Machine, Destination Moon, and Forbidden Planet all in a row on TCM tonight ... if there were some Crystal Pepsi commercials between these features, I would swear this was TNT'S MonsterVision in 1993 ...

George Pal initially envisioned the time machine's disc spinning clockwise for going forward in time, and counterclockwise for hpgoing back, but the studio nixed this as too expensive.

Steampunk aesthetic seems to be about 70% brass or copper glass, and red velvet. I'd really like to see some streampunk fiction about a red velvet robber baron ...
