The Green Slime

(1968)

This asteroid is gonna bitch-slap the Earth, so some astronauts from Space Command's Gamma 1 Gamma 3 land on it, drill a few holes, drop in some bombs, and blow that mother out of the sky in a bit that the guy who made Armageddon swears he never saw and he's never even heard of this movie so direct all further questions to his lawyers. The astronauts make one mistake though- they accidentally bring back some green slime from the asteroid, and later it grows into this goofy little creature (if Hedorah the Smog Monster had a sidekick, it would probably look like this) that starts killing people. Pretty soon there's a shitload of the bastards, so they have no choice but to evacuate and blow Gamma 3 to kingdom come. Since the slime can survive in outer space I'm not sure how smart it was to explode a space station full of it right above the Earth like that, but this flick has goony monsters, tons of people getting wasted, an entire space station blowing up, awesome music, and a hot redhead so I suppose I can forgive the fact that these clowns probably wiped out the entire human race. Still, nice going, asshats.
