Comments on Funktionide Blob: A Video Love Story

the complete story)
| "Here's the more traditional sci-fi presentation of blobs:
" |
| "Yeah that is a little creepy. Try getting a cat." (Brandon 10/6/2009 12:23:07 PM) |
| "I think if I spent X amount of money (probably a lot) on a robo-blob to cure my loneliness, it would only make me feel that much more lonely. " (Jip 10/6/2009 12:36:43 PM) |
| "Part 3 is xxx rated" ( 10/6/2009 2:12:21 PM) |
| "What about "Monsters vs Aliens"" (Peter Jacobs 10/6/2009 4:52:36 PM) |
| "Don't forget Gloop and Gleep from TV's The Herculoids (white blobs in picture below). They were two protoplasmic creatures that could do all sorts of handy things, like spread their bodies out for use as parachutes.
(Moira 10/6/2009 5:33:41 PM) |
| "Peter, you're right. B.O.B. (Benzoate Ostylezene Bicarbonate), an indestructible gelatinous mass, is basically a pretty friendly guy. Perhaps I was scarred for life by frequent repeats of The Blob on Sci-Fi Theater as a child..." (Bill Christensen 10/6/2009 6:24:27 PM) |
| "PLEASE tell me that thing isn't real. I'd rather sleep with a washing machine!" (Joey1058 10/9/2009 12:46:09 PM) |
