I enjoyed the original book, so much so that I actually liked the movie. I had a crush on Deja Thoris, anyway. I know it bombed. There’s no accounting for taste.
I suffered thru Journey to the Seventh Planet many years ago. It was so bad, maybe some toilet humor would have helped it. Asimov writes about the problematic name of this planet, which sounds awkward in any pronunciation. Maybe the Latin Ooo-ron-ooos? No one’s gonna say that.
According to the prophetic and sorely missed series, Futurama, we need not been concerned about this planet’s name much longer. Future scientists will rename it something completely comedy proof: Urectum

Come on! No one wants to live in a hole like Uranus…
And now, some sophomoric scatologic humor from 1966:
Q: How is the Starship Enterprise like toilet paper?A: They both go around Uranus looking for Klingons.

Whole lotta adolescent snickering goin’ on here. Not unlike farting always being funny. Well, for me, at least.
