|
| _Zontar, Thing From Venus_ is right up there with _Plan 9_, and _Robot
|Monster_. Zontar is from a curious sub-genre, extremely bad SF movies that
|were made in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in the '60s. This category include
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|_Attack of the Killer Shrews_, which featured dogs with carpet glued on
|them as the shrews, and another movie about giant Gila Monsters.
|
| THere was a resurgence of interest in this sub-genre when a later bad
|film was made in the area in the '70s - _Loagan's Run_.
"city of the future" in Logan's Run == Dobbstown?

[...]
if their parents would not allow them to go to
the movie, they should take their parents' car and run over them.
[...]
I would encourage other parents to do the same. We must demand that the
media uphold their responsibility towards our young people.
Rosemary Haddad, Greenbrae. [Letter to the SF Chronicle]
Rosemary is right, and Rosemary's Baby is right. I'm glad some
parents saw the movie ("Parents") (was that the name of the one with
all the blood?) and are taking it to heart. She's quite correct to
want better advice for her shadow: the girl should be sure to be "PMS"
at the time, or overdosed on Twinkies, in order to be sure to have
some sort of ironclad defense when the movie gets out.

1. Leave Taco in Pocket Wrap
until ready to enjoy!

2. Unfold wrap to expose just
enough Taco for a bite or two.
(Illustration: ``Bob'' (NOTE: WITHOUT PIPE!) enjoying a Soft Taco)
3. Keep folding away wrap until
each delicious bite is gone.
Now enjoy a Soft Taco anywhere, even on the go!
