You know, I can see the Bill Rebane as Tone-Deaf Grandma vibe
for Monster-A-Go-Go. It has, at least in the parts that seem to have
been made on purpose, some of that air of we're-too-busy-making-a-movie-
to-know-anything-about-making-a-movie to it.
The Giant Spider Invasion has a ... oh, let's go ahead and call
it a slicker feel to it and comes across as being made by someone who
has more or less got the idea of how to make a movie but no idea of how
to make one with some appealing traits.

That's the sort of talk I like to hear.

I don't know why that amuses me so, but it does.
