evil goo
The 50's horror movie the Blob is a great flick. I just watched it a few minutes ago. The ending was pretty piss poor, though.The blob chases these people into a diner and then sits on the whole building, trapping them inside. The cops shoot down some power lines hoping to zap the blob into submission, but the blob was having none of it. There's also a little kid who fires a cap gun at the blob, then throws his cap gun into the blob when he runs out of caps. I believe that kid to be the most retarded kid I have ever seen in a movie.
Anyway, zapping the blob does diddley shit. It didn't even notice. It was mostly busy oozing down the stairs at the people, rather than through the window which was right next to them. Apparently the blob isn't too long on logistics, or it just likes stairs.
At the end, the hero discovers that the blob can't stand cold. THey start spraying it with CO2 fire extinguishers, and it eventually fucks off. The movie closes with them dropping it off in the arctic, where it will remain permanantly frozen, they assume. The very last shot is the blob drifting down to the snowy arctic ground on three parachutes.
Now, here's my problem list with this:
- What sort of parachute harness would the military use for the blob? Was it a bag, or what?
- Why the hell did we, the taxpayers, have to foot the bill for 3 parachutes for the fucking BLOB? Any blobs I have to dispose of will have their oozing asses unceremoniously kicked out of the plane.
I wonder what the blob got up to after the one lead role. Can the blob use a telephone? If not, how does it call its agent? Maybe it could sell bits of itself off as pets. Miniblob.
There's a 1980's remake of the old one that I need to see. I require more movies about evil goo.
