Meta-Monster Attack with Boobies and Doobies in "The Being" [NSFW]

The Being is your classic small-town radioactive monster movie that was made in 1983 but looks like it was made in 1973. Improbably starring Jose Ferrer and Martin Landau, it's a tale of anti-pornography crusaders and corrupt potato growers in an Idaho town — a town that just wants to forget that some crazy old lady's kid is actually a slimy, toxic monster who is eating people. In this great meta-monster scene from early in the flick, the atomic slimeball attacks kids in at a drive in. While the kids watch a movie about a naked lady getting attacked by a monster in a hotel room! Wait, which is real, and which is the movie? Whoa, dude, just take another hit on that joint. [The Being]

  • An inordinate number of io9 videos are NSFW. There was the dildo marriage, zombie penis, sharing sex dreams was mildly risky, ditto for cyber-sex doll that wants to be murdered... then there was the... *snicker* Daleks. ... the list goes on.

    ... Keep up the good work.
    *Insert thumbs-up photo here*

  • "I'll just tell him to fuck off"

    And hilarity ensues!

    (boobies)

  • Yay, earth is spared thanks to the almighty power of the boobie

  • @Ghede: We try our best.

  • Theres your problem. You flooded the engine.

  • That's what killed the "Drive-in Theater". It takes hours to get all that oozing spooge out of your AC vents.

    Also, no real stoner would ever roll down his window like that. 'Lets out all the ambient reenforcement.

    Plus, where was the window speaker?

    This film a needed better Technical Adviser.

  • @Ghede:
    A genre all it's own.

    BOOBIES

    Now now... be nice when talking about Martin Landau, he did play an awesome Bela Lugosi in Ed Wood and well as a wonderful but short performance in the 1st X-Files movie.

    Not to mention that he was very good on the original Mission Impossible and not so bad on Space 1999... lol ( which was one of the cheesiest SciFi shows ever to grace tv... but we all love it )

  • @dOk: How was I not being nice? Martin Laundau is the creme de la creme of scifi weirdness.

  • @Zantor: "Plus, where was the window speaker?"

    By the 80s a lot of drive-ins had replaced window speakers with the audio track being broadcast on a low-power AM or FM radio signal.

  • @PhilipFry:
    I thought of that too, but the speaker pole was still there.
    It's the little things...



  • Honestly? It could've used more boob.

  • @Zantor: Why pay someone to remove and then fill in the hole with concrete when you can just leave them there...

  • I knew Bob Ross smoked weed!

  • @cde:
    Because leaving the un-speakered poles as they are could create a catastrophic event of universal import!

    The average Drive-in theater layout is based on a grid of parking spaces. In each position, or parking space, of this grid there is an anodized steel pole with an average height of 3 feet. Each of these poles are spaced within that grid using a global common ratio of 6 feet x 9 feet, the squares of 1,2,3. The cone magnets inside speakers maintain a dampening effect that disrupts the Shuman resonance. This is the natural electromagnetic frequency created by the gravitational field of the earth .

    Without the speakers attached, the poles become a series of uninterrupted nodes that will interlink to a common grounding nexus causing a geometric progression of a magnetic field of 19.5 megahertz. The effect is similar to the Government "HAARP" project, but infinitely more dangerous.

    Left unchecked, this field increases geometrically, creating a ever-expanding gravity well in the center of the Earth and eventually will reach a critical mass that will create a singularity that will compress the planet into a mass that resembles a "Black Hole".

    And it doesn't end there! The "Earth Hole" will continue to migrate throughout the solar system, ingesting any and all matter and energies that it encounters, causing the mass to continually increase, causing an ever expanding gravitational field. Eventually the "Earth Hole" will reach a density so intense, that its "Super gravity" will initiate the theoretical "Big Crunch" that will reduce the natural cosmic expansion and cause the ultimate cosmic compression with the "Earth Hole" at the center, ending the universe in one big crunch.

    Waste money to remove the poles? Think again!

    Plus the chip the paint when you bang the car door into them when your going to get Nachos and a Coke.


  • "Fuck off."

    *Hippie gets eaten

    I love this Movie now, if only for that hilarious scene (and the b00bs of course).
