The Vault slams shut on "Beware! The Blob" (1972)!

[Jordan]

Egads! Out of all the freakin' Blob movies I could've picked from, I chose Larry Hagman's awful sequel to the 1958 classic, "The Blob" for the BLOB FAMILY PICNIC. What was I THINKING?!    

Here is my review for "BEWARE! THE BLOB" (1972). (And it is only THREE days late! lol)

Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go find Larry Hagman and shoot him in his kneecap for making this flick.

HAHAHAHA! I like your lesson in "cause and effect."

I guess I like this film more than you did. For all its glaring inadequacies, I can still watch it over and over.

My God, that could almost be considered early for you!   

I found this one pretty funny at times.  The scene with "Naked Tor" is pretty horrifying, but I crack up every time.  Also, the priest in the wheelchair was someone I came to hate just watching his (usually wordless - viewed from a distance) interaction with others.  When the Blob rolled over him, despite the cross held up in defense, I was quite ecstatic.

Hahahahaha. Thanks Andrew! Your riffing is well deserved and quite welcome. 

And Shad, I'm glad you enjoyed my lesson in Cause and Effect. I try to keep my reviews fun and educational.

Actually, as much as I didn't like the film, I didn't downright hate it (only one movie has been given that privilege). I chuckled at seeing the "Naked Turk" haulin' ass down a dark street, and I cracked up when the guy with the cross was eaten. I also enjoyed the scene where the town barber ends up washing a stoner's hair in Blob. It was moments like these that helped save the movie from getting a lower rating on my "b-movie geiger counter."

Now, with this review out of the way, I can read everyone else's contributions to the roundtable.
