the original blob is also better tbh, but I'm guessing I've said that before. :P
Haven't seen the original Blob but I'm pretty sure you can probably go fuck yourself with that statement.
I'm not saying I don't like the 88 Blob, brah, u b melting like a snowflake in this bitch fam>>W>

But seriously, it's not a dig against the 88 movie, I just really love the original.

Shawnee Smith is well known for appearing in a movie 11 years before she was born. Not many actors and actresses can manage that. :yee:

such a feat would have meant that the original was closer to matching the remake. :P

that's a great rating. so i guess i'll take solace in that you can't really rank the other one much higher. :P

I do give the original a 10/10 though, if you wanted to feel more insulted. :P

Not First Omen yet. Gotta watch the original Omen first. I was gonna do a Terrifier 1 & 2 double feature but part 2 has a bit too long of a runtime and will cut into the night a bit too deep. So I'll probably do two new watches that are non-affiliated. I think i'll end on Poop's Exorcist. Debating on what to watch before that one now.

I've been warning everyone of this since the day Hollywood Video and Blockbuster closed their doors and Netflix's opened.

Physical is undeniably the only way to go.

some of both, with a heavy lean toward physical media, is the only way to go.
