ALL SCI-FI

________________________________________

Well, I finally got to see The Naked Monster today, and I laughed so hard I blew snot bubbles, I swear!

This is Ted Newsome's 20-year long film project which includes many of the actors we love from 1950s sci-fi classics. It's has quite of few truly hysterical moments.

Netflix has it for rent, and Amazon offers it for $44.94. I'm dropping hints to my friends and relatives to see if I can get it for Christmas.

I had a ball playing "spot the 50s references" all the way through it — things like the clever bits of 'borrowed" dialog the actors say, the audio clips of dialog from various movies (mostly Kenneth Toby in his three sci-fi movies), the music from all those beloved classics, and of course the legions of cameos by actors I've adored since I first landed on Earth in 1948 and began living among you puny humans.

As a 67-year-old Monsterkid who's seen every sci-fi classic multiple times, I was the perfect target audience. Therefore, Ted's movie definitely scored a bullseye. (A target joke. Sorry.)

Thanks, Ted! I heard that James Cameron is directing the sequel! Very Happy

It's hellishly expensive on Amazon UK, for sure - which makes the US price seem like a bargain! It must be whatever the dvd equivalent of "out of print" is - you could buy six brand-new movies on blu-ray for the price, or thirty at the full discounted price some movies have reached.

Still, you do make it sound like fun! Smile
