Inktober, THEM!
Bored off my ass and since its October, popped in some horror, 50s bad monster movies to watch.
And today I watched 'Them!', the 1954 SciFi film about giant ants running amok
And one scene where James Arness was questioning a drunk in a hospital about the ants.
And for some damn reason I envisioned
wolfjedisamuel in the roll of the drunk. And since its Inktober, what the hell. Geeze Sam, this is twice within a week, people are gonna wonder!

Nothing like the classics. Them!, It! The Terror From Beyond Space!, The Forbidden Planet and The Thing From Another World. I also like The Swamp Thing (which, oddly enough was written/produced/directed/created by Wes Craven of "Wes Craven's New Nightmare" fame), but that came out in '84. I also liked the TV series that came later, starring the same guy that played the title role in the film.
Freaking love Them! great sci fi monster movie classic.
I still love the bit where they find teh ant nest on a tanker in teh middle of the ocean. I mean, they're miles in the ocean and they JUST NOW find a hive of giant killer ants onboard? What did teh ants disguise themselves as crewmen? XD

Holy crap that sounds hilarious! Sounds like something MST3K riffed at some point. I'm going to have to look that up, though I doubt TCM or AMC would have that. Maybe I can find it on YouTube. Either way it's something I'm definitely going to have to see at some point, thanks for the info.
Those were the days of really good writers getting in really good lines.
"Ed Blackburn was a crack shot. He could hit anything he could see."
"Don't rush me. I'm doing this by the book."
"They were down in the river. I seen it once when there was water in it."
And the scariest...
"Unless you solve this, Man, as the dominant species on this planet, will probably be extinct in... A year?"

Loved the drunk in THEM! The same actor turned up a couple years later in a little locally-made film titled "The Blob". He was the old guy that became the blobs' first victim. (Olin Howland)
Bonus THEM! points: Fess Parker in a small role just before Davy Crockett lightning struck.
Extra THEM! points. Saw it as a kid and was too scared to sleep that night. It didn't help that we were living in my grandpa's mobile home at the time...

Ya' sure you didn't mean "Charge the Boobs"?
Cause I feel that would more accurately represent me....other than that medical chart which is very legit.
Can't say I'm familiar with this scene, I'm familiar with the giant ant movie in general as it was references constantly on an Animal Planet documentary once. Now if this was Casablanca or the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse, then I could full heartedly understand.
Never the less, I am still flattered to be your drunk hysteric patient for this awesome little parody! And I truly mean awesome.
Thanks so much rabbi, you're the best.

I've actually seen that movie and it wasn't bad for a 1950s film. That poor fellow looks like he's got a case of Purma Boner might need to send a nurse to help with that. That course by the way is wearing my favorite outfit I didn't know he had asked to Boro it LOL. I'll let it slide given how good he looks in it might want to be careful looking that good in a fedora with a wolf like me around.
I once worked at Best Buy in the mid-90s, and one day the AC system started badly squeaking a sound just like the ants in Them! Sure enough, some girl screamed out "THEM!" Numerous employees just oddly looked at her and I chime up Giant ants are attacking the building, the girl just grinned at me.
