Story - An alien lifeform consumes everything in its path as it grows and grows.
Cast - Steve McQueen, Aneta Corsaut, Earl Rowe, John Benson
Crew - Irvin S. Yeaworth Jr. (Director), Theodore Simonson (Writer), Kate Phillips (Writer)
Runtime - 86 minutes
         
We need more movies like The Blob, campy, fun, and cheesy.

I was hesitant to buy the Criterion Collection Blu-ray, mainly because the reviews and score on Letterboxd are very low, still, I decided to do it and I don’t regret it.

Criterion Collection Blu-Ray release.

Steve McQueen is the best actor in this movie, you can see how he became one of the best even early on in his career. Everyone else is a great supporting cast.

The monster, now an iconic part of the movie Monster is interesting to look at, so weird and red, I love it, and I also love how sometimes you can see it is a small slime in a cardboard background.

I want to see Yeaworth's Dinosaurus, it looks like a great double feature and even was sold and advertised like one.

The Blob and Dinosaurus! double feature.

Moon Girl and Disney´s Transphobia.

            "How many doors do I have to break through until they stop locking me out"           ​Disney is a spineless company, they have shown time and time again that whenever they are faced with a controversy or backlash a change in their policies and approach to new stories will happen. During their battle with Florida´s governor Ron DeSantis they not only lost their perfect image with conservatives–something they were struggling to maintain since their recent movies and TV shows have been criticized by the diverse cast and stories–but also an active boycott by, what it appeared at the time, groups of conservative fanatics. It is November of 2024 and the culmination of these stories reached its peak when convicted felon and ex-President of the US Donald Trump was reelected to be the 47th president of said country. It is clear that everything is becoming more conservative, more than the previous 10 years. As expected, this is si...
