Forbidden Planet - New York Store 

Forbidden Planet was one of the best SciFi movies from the fifties. It was ahead of its time.

Read the walking dead comics! The Walking Dead comics are hands down the most compelling of the comics. I warn you though once you start reading you cant stop!

I've been a patron at Forbidden Planet for over twenty years, and this video captures pretty much everything I love about the store. It's a totally different market than it was when FP took up the much larger storefront across the street, but you still get a huge influx of customers into that store. The whole thing is an experience; you can wander in looking for one issue and leave with a hundred bucks worth of stuff. I know; I seem to do this weekly.

Best... Rocketboom... Ever... Ella, you are ON my LIST! (I think you know which list I mean)

I always try to get by there whenever I get up to NYC, great little place.

We need a rocketboom Australia! (I know Ella has been to Sydney to interview Natalie Tran) Because I only recently found The Daily Planet in Brisbane, and there are so many little places that would do a lot better thanks to series like these.

Forbidden Planet is just badass, honestly...I've been to the London branch multiple times and always, always end up coming out with something. *Sudden urge to spend!*

love this store

I loooooooove Forbidden Planet, but it's in a neighborhood so far away from me that I practically never go there. But it's really really cool.

I want to plan a vacation around going to that store now.

@Stain0 Correct!

Great video, Ella! :)

Very informative! I liked the point he made about photography. not being the end of paintngs.

reading the paper version is more appealing then the digital version just the feel of the paper makes a difference

My fondest memories of childhood were reading TINTIN or ASTERIX under a very comfortable blanket burrowed in the corner of my room. Thumbsucking was optional then - I wonder if they would allow me to bring my blanket (and thumb) into the FP store...lol... Perhaps I can start a new 'fad' for adults...

@M1995C It's a good place for beginners. The staff will ask you about your interests and then recommend some comics and graphic novels for you.

awww i would kill to live there! i live in outer london and there isnt a single comic book store near us anywhere!

@JoeDull I know... are they available online?

When I go to NY I always visit the store but its always so crowded.

they do

I'll have to stop at this place next time I'm in the city.

cool, i didn't know there was a Forbidden planet in NY, looks a lot like the FP we have here in dublin.

0:49 omfg stan lee, is that you

sweet

@Yoshikuni14 I think Ella is from Sydney. Right?

There's one in Cambridge too, I used to buy Yu-Gi-Oh cards from there.

@Ottawa3453 Having known Ella in Oz, I can tell you she hasn't modified her accent very much. Like many Sydneians, she has a very neutral accent.

Can you tell me prices?

i have been here!

Hello Ella, I know you like "The X-Files", I watched it all the time as well, I see you found the Graphic novel. That show was brilliant, but do you remember "Millennium"?, From the same creator. Now that was the best show ever, Definitely not for the faint of heart. It was a very Dark and violent show, only last for 3 seasons but it was awesome!!

this is really interesting. im just a begginer with comics but this looks cool XD

I want to go there so bad !! D:

@TwoThirdsMajority I like stuff by Adrian Tomine. Scott Pilgrim is pretty kick-ass. And since I was obsessed with the show, I checked out the new X-Files comics when I was at the store.

@unorthodoxJ Glad your mind has changed. Welcome.

0:17 Ella makes a quick visual joke with Mary Jane Watson, but it is obvious that she is very much look-alike Kirsten Dunst.

we have one in london

Do the sell japanese love dolls?

@Yoshikuni14 She's australian.

@ellamorton haha Yup they sure did!!. I have Millennium DVD set, That episode is in the bonus material!! :)

@RaccoonCamp I love you too, Cocoon.

Do they sell anime stuffs?

I've been in the nearest FB to me once, and as a geek, even I'm not sure how comfortable I felt going in there. It sort of felt like if I were caught in there, it'd be as bad if not worse as being caught in an adult video store.

Kinda resembles Kirsten Dunst on one of Miss Dunst's better days. The Rocketboomers are excellent in general.

@haydockstation It's hardly a secret if you write it on RU-vid.

@Raphtyr Cool didn't know Sydneians sounded so close to the English.

@Raphtyr Ooh, you knew me back home? Now I'm wondering who you are!

@Yoshikuni14 She's Australian.

The Thumbnail to the video looked like Kirsten Dunst at the coming shop

at 03:02 "They´re geeks". Judging from this man and his ethos I bet thats the truest statement on the internet.

@Stain0 damnnn, I didn't know that.. lol

@lt3ag4s That's how they reel you in!

0:15 Ella looks like she could be a comic book heroine or femme fatale.

@RaccoonCamp My name is Ella, but I appreciate the sentiments.

@12Fucitolz i saw a dohicky today it was very special

@Yoshikuni14 shes not British shes Australian

Tell Jeff he should tell to tell the owner to make a frobbiden planet store in Carlow I would love thx

wats up with jeff's eyes at the start?

I wonder how much they sell video game figures for, if a want a Samus or Link statue online its like $100!

@Yoshikuni14 I won't. I may be from a penal colony, but I'm non-violent.

Kirsten Dunst and James Marsden.

She looks like Mary Jane from Toby Maguires spiderman from a side angle

At first glance I thought she was Kirsten Dunst. And also the X-Files rules.

Y: The Last Man FTW!

Ella you are the prettiest red hair girl i ever seen. Your vids are fantastic.

@TwoThirdsMajority i love you enya

Ok during a recent promo on the old channel I stated that I wouldn't watch and support the channel split I did this for various reasons, mainly because I knew a channel split would negatively effect Rocketboom NYC views (which it has) But upon seeing how much lower this channel was compared to the others I felt like it needed help and though I still don't agree I will stop my boycott :)

i love you emma

@Ottawa3453 Well, half of Sydney's population are migrants or the children of migrants, so the accent tends to neutralise. Until this past year, most of those migrants came from England, Ireland and New Zealand, and our TV is predominantly American and English. We're constantly being bombarded by an incredible array of accents.

@OneEyeJay Yes, I remember Millennium! They had a crossover episode once. The one where Mulder and Scully kissed on New Year's Eve. (NERD ALERT.)

I want an iDoohickey!

@Simoncanada I think you'd have to ask yer man

I stood by the door once I think he told me to see if I like anything lol my dad just wanted to leave so I said no thanks maybe next time.

@Yoshikuni14 lol british?

i want an idohicky

Yes she's Australian, but she softened down her accent for your enjoyment! Personally I'd rather hear her authentic Australian accent ;)

@yoshikuni a british passport is about the only one she dosent own

If it is forbidden, why do I have such a desire to go there?

Hey, I know that Jeff. Cool guy :]

o D< L

instead of idoohickey's he should say idoobongs check out the items in isle 5

@ellamorton oh sorry x] i love you elma

What no Molly?! lol

:):):)

idoohickey lmao

this video needs moar dungeons and dragons.

Is is just me or is it a bit sad that out of the whole of NYC they decide to feature a shop that can be found in pretty much every city across america? I'm a geek my self but I am sure there are more interesting things in NYC, things I can not see in my own city.

I'd hate to read comics on an I-Doohickey.

i think he wants her ....lol ;)

firsttt. D:

i want... gif meeee!

Luckiest comic book geek in NYC.

what a terrible interviewee. . . lol. not to certain what's going on in your store???

Do they sell anime stuffs?
