TWEETY = THE BLOB

1. Both from Pennsylvania (original film shot here in PA)
2. Both Fat
3. Both Disgusting
4. Both Eat anything and look it.
5. Both Growing exponentially in danger to the country
6. Both of uncertain origin. Tweety claims he's a Philadelphian but brother is running as a real Rethug in the election for Lt. Governor.
7. Both like streaming media: The Blob liked movie Theaters, Tweety likes TV
8. Both make strange noises at times.
9. Both possess variable and strange-colored appendages which change in the light.
10. Both doomed to self-destruction

Many more I'm sure...

3. The Blob was the nadir of all SF

villains from the 50's because it was pure matter and energy with no consciousness or motive other than survival. That's Tweety!

7. off-topic

Am I the only one who thought BEWARE! THE BLOB was better than the original?

It had a slew of celeb cameos, a hardcore early 70s hippie feel, and better special effects. Plus, Clint Walker Jr was a more resourceful hero than McQueen.

8. No, it isn't.

You're talking about the movie, guess you didn't see original but I didn't see the one you mention. Clint Walker, Jr. you say? If he's as hunky as his dad I'll have to keep my eye out.

9. i did see the original, the sequel and the remake.

They're all gems in their own way.

Anyhoo, the sequel has quite a cast: Clint Walker Jr, Godfrey Cambridge, Shelley Berman, Carol Lynley, Gerrit Graham, and Dick Van Patten among others. It's out on DVD, too.

Oh, and did I mention Larry Hagman directed it? LOL..
