"It Conquered the World"

Frank Zappa told a story about this movie as his intro to the song "Cheepnis" on the Roxy and Elsewhere album:

"Cheepnis." Let me tell you something, do you like monster movies? Anybody? I LOVE monster movies, I simply adore monster movies, and the cheaper they are, the better they are. And cheepnis in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, although it helps, but true cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider . . . I'll tell you, a good one that I saw one time, I think the name of the film was "IT CONQUERED THE WORLD," and the . . . Did you ever see that one? The monster looks sort of like an inverted ice-cream cone with teeth around the bottom. It looks like a (phew!), like a teepee or . . . sort of a rounded off pup-tent affair, and, uh, it's got fangs on the base of it, I don't know why but it's a very threatening sight, and then he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, and there's this one scene where the, uh, monster is coming out of a cave, see? There's always a scene where they come out of a cave, at least once, and the rest of the cast . . . it musta been made around the 1950's, the lapels are about like that wide, the ties are about that wide and about this short, and they always have a little revolver that they're gonna shoot the monster with, and there is always a girl who falls down and twists her ankle . . . heh-hey! Of course there is! You know how they are, the weaker sex and everything, twisting their ankle on behalf of the little ice-cream cone. Well in this particular scene, in this scene, folks, they, uh, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they . . . when the monster came out of the cave, just over on the left hand side of the screen you can see about this much two-by-four attached to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, and then obviously off-camera somebody's goin': "NO! GET IT BACK!" And they drag it back just a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now that's cheepnis. Awright. And this is "Cheepnis" here. One two three four . . .

I LOVE YOU, DOCTOR ZAIUS!

"He can talk!"
"He can talk!"
"He can talk!"
"I can siiiiiiing!!"

That is one of the funniest Simpson's episodes ever.

Best part of this movie is when Kevin Bacon disappears!

You remember John Huston as "The Lawgiver" in Battle for The Planet of the Apes?

Yeah,
it got way tooooooooo gory near the end too. Unneccesary violence, though the premise was OK.

As far as I'm concerned, Pearl Forrester will always be The Lawgiver.

My favorite movie review of "The Thin Red Line" went something like this;

"If you ever wanted to see a film about the US Army sending in third rate poets to fight on Guadalcanal, this film is for you".

The only good in that one is the Aerosmith cover... and that wasn't all that good.

I think the only good thing that came out of Sgt. Peppers was "Come Together" performed by Aerosmith.

I watched that movie because Ishtar is the Arabic version of my 'real' name.

OK, dumb reason to watch a movie....
REALLY dumb.

BTW, I reported on board the Nimitz shortly after the movie was filmed. The ship played that move ad nauseum. Got sick of it!!!!

Anybody know where I can get a copy?
