OT: The Movie Thread

[Amorgus]

If you want more insanity with Action John Huston I can't recommend The Visitor enough.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Mental note: watch Tentacles

The pacing sucks but for you, definitely something to see. Absolutely a Jaws ripoff that kinda just misfires left and right.

First guess but she can only be seen in one of the frames.

I WANT MOAR!

I've spent only three hours gazing at that besweatered arm

Ah the nostalgia is hitting.

Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men, & TMNT animated series’ were my shit as a kid.

Beef has inspired me to do a live posting of my first time watching the original 1958 version of The Blob. Having gone to the Colonial Theater where it was filmed and loving both Steve McQueen and the Chuck Russell remake, it shot to the top of the to-do list. So here's my first few comments before I unpause after the 3:26 mark.

This theme song is TERRIBLE, especially for a HORROR movie

It just hit me that I think young Steve and Paul Bettany look like they could be related.

And here's the old guy that's gonna go poke the shizz with a stick. I've seen this clip numerous times.

 

[Amorgus]

It's Morphin(e) time!

Yay the Expendable Dick Brigade is here!

 

[Amorgus]

The good old days when you could call a cop by his first name and not get your head caved in.

 

[Amorgus]

Man that Smuckers just kicked it up a notch.

Nurse Kate is now Nurse Ate

 

[Schwarbomb]

The plan is to make a 5th one too, and beyond if they do well:

 

[Amorgus]

Great the Blob bought this old lady off for alibi.

 

[Amorgus]

OK this little brother is an absolutely terrible kid actor. First weak link.

 

[Amorgus]

The Colonial!

"You made us waste our 80 cents." If only movies still cost that...

 

[Amorgus]

Man, all they need is a giant piece of toast and I'd destroy that bitch.

Benji noooooo!

 

[Amorgus]

Awww -1 star for the dog surviving. Not that it wasn't an adorable dog.

 

[Amorgus]

Oh great it's the little kid on quaaludes again

Steve!
Dave!
Tell 'em Stevedave!

Yes, it's the theater attack. FINALLY.

 

[Amorgus]

Shit boy is taking him on with a cap gun!

That cellar wall looks like the hands of the damned are frozen in it

 

[Amorgus]

And there's the reveal. Get the CO2, Stevedave!

I don't think they said the name Dave as many times in the movie Dave as they have in the past five minutes of this.

You should take the time to watch this if you haven't already



Most people forget it exists. It's really something to watch and was directed by Larry Hagman of all people

Also, a lot of familiar faces pop up and you go "Wait a minute was that"

Here is link to watch (It's been on YT now for 5 years)


-- Was also available on Plex but not sure how cleaned up that is (Old VHS type transfers were what was widely available for decades with poor quality), The YT link is of remastered/cleaned up DVD version)

It pretty much slots into the lower end of the 70's cheesy sci-fi/horror spectrum but if you're a fan of genre or Blob films it's something that should be watched at least once in life

 

[Amorgus]

Oooh the question mark at the end. They knew they had a good thing when they filmed it.

Aside from that obnoxious little drugged out kid that was a damn solid movie that I'm sad I put off for so long. And there has to be a drinking game where you drink every time they say Dave, then at the climax everybody has to do a tandem kegstand to keep up with the count. I'm overjoyed that theater is still preserved and loved the experience there. I bet Blobfest is an absolute blast.

And thank you @Blackhawkswincup for reminding me there's ANOTHER Blob movie to watch! I have a funny feeling the 80's Blob is going to be the only one with the balls to melt a kid on screen though.

I feel like you have to follow this up with attack of the killer tomatoes.

Movies need to have more courage.

That is great suggestion

He should then follow that up with the sequels starting of course with Return of the Killer Tomatoes starring a young George Clooney
