The episode Octo refers is excellent. I was skeptical about the new host but Mike won me over in that first episode.Catfreeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06215307648862899154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-84150321018087447052008-11-11T13:40:00.000-08:002008-11-11T13:40:00.000-08:00Yeah nice reviews although I think you were a litt...Yeah nice reviews although I think you were a little hard on the first one which I would file in the "delightful romp" category. <BR/><BR/>The pic of the creature with pants is priceless! <BR/><BR/>Octo, I've maintained my stubborn refusal to give in to MST3K but the fish bit finally convinced me!Johnny Sweatpantshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00096734271846528993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17244873.post-27863548181723136762008-11-11T11:08:00.000-08:002008-11-11T11:08:00.000-08:00Ha!

I don't think I can count all the times it made me laugh.<BR/><BR/>"Rather than being deterred by the fate of former visitors to the mysterious lagoon..."<BR/><BR/>"impure monster thoughts"<BR/><BR/>These plus your continual harping on the gillman's regrettable pants are making me giggle as I type this. Good one.<BR/><BR/>I actually saw the first movie in 3-D at the Bristol Cinemas, paired with It Came from Outer Space. I wish I could report on the grandeur of the underwater sequences, but what I really remember are the two shots towards the beginning in which the fossilized claw is reaching right out at the viewer. It might be that I just kind of got used to the 3-D after a while and didn't really notice it. (Same thing goes for ICfOS, there's a great spaceship crash in the opening but after that 2 dimensions are ample.<BR/><BR/>I've only seen the sequel in the MST3K episode, which I highly, highly recommend. One of their best. It was the first one with the new host Mike and they really brought their A game to the task. During the many scenes with the Creature in the aquarium, the guys add in lines for all the fish that swim in front of the camera. Good stuff.<BR/><BR/>I've never seen the third one but I've always been intrigued about the horribleness of the idea. It looks like that's Tor Johnson inside those clothes.<BR/><BR/>As a kid I always thought the Creature to be the best of the Universal monsters, because the others were basically humans with a twist and the Creature was a full-bodied lizardy fish thing. But yeah, as a movie star he's got the least to work with.<BR/><BR/>Excellent read!Octopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948127593611773731noreply@blogger.com
