FINALLY the big lizard is back. Hello

First things first he eats a cop. Good for him.

Harryhausen was such a king. What a master of his craft, even in a movie where no one else is a master of theirs - as was often the case (but not so much here). The motion, the lighting, the gravity

Shout out to that weird stretch of mid-century #content where uranium was the go-to example of a Thing That Makes You Rich. Like it displaced gold and diamonds in the popular consciousness. Only time that's ever happened. Everyone loves uranium, and they love to handle it, and certainly nothing can go wrong by investing all your money in uranium and uranium prospecting and uranium plates and

BEAST FROM 20,000 FATHOMS: Incredible visual effects, great monster, some evocative scenes, human plot predictably okay and unpredictably French

It is kind of bonkers when you think about it that ants have wars. Like it's just a common summer experience to look down on the sidewalk of anywhere with ants (which is nearly everywhere) and just see hundreds of tiny insects waging a literal war on a scale we can hardly comprehend

The thing about 50s sci-fi films is that, on the whole, they are not good, but also every strain of 50s sci-fi has at least one legitimately great film in it. The space opera has Forbidden Planet, the flying saucer picture has The Day The Earth Stood Still, the alien invasion movie has Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and the giant monster movie has, well, Godzilla, but also Them!, the film that set the template for the American atomic monster movie but that stands out for its stark, at times quasi-documentary style and deathly seriousness about being a movie about giant killer ants. At times it's basically a procedural where the killer is a giant ant, with the investigators talking with colorful drunks and grieving widows. Ants are the only other species to wage war...besides man.

Can I just say I've never seen a single appetizing food in any drive-in ad. Ever. I know they're faded as hell but even when they're high quality it's the most unappealing food I've ever seen. And that's before you take into account the descriptions of the exotic new inventions, pizza and meatball sandwiches

NEXT UP...Tarantula

This guy is making giant rats and I know it's a minor detail in the scheme of things but I'm distracted by the inefficiency of how every sheet has tiny cards for how many days it's been. Like okay giant rats but just have a blank spot next to "days" man
