The greatest giant spider in movie history.
So here’s my recent Robot Holocaust story. I have my packages shipped to my friends Holly & Paul’s house (where we hold Basement Fest) because they are there all day to collect them so they don’t get stolen or rained / snowed on. So pre-Basement Fest I dropped by and had an order from (I think) Hamilton Books. GalaxyJane was sitting next to me and obviously looking at my purchases. Then she called out one in particular:
Jane, disdainfully: “Why did you buy three [Blu Ray] copies of Robot Holocaust?”
Me, somewhat aggrieved: “Actually, for a very good reason. *AHEM* Jane, would you like a copy of Robot Holocaust?”
Jane: “Oh…uh…sure.”
I turned to the Rev, sitting nearby.
Me: “Hey, Rev, do you want a copy of Robot Holocaust?”
Rev: “Uh, OK.”
I turned back to Jane: “That’s why I bought three copies of Robot Holocaust.”
Indeed, since it took all of literally ten seconds to dispose of my two spare copies, the real question is why I didn’t buy more. And the reason I bought giveaways in the first place is that they were selling them for five bucks.
Anyhoo, having my own copy now, I brought it to Texas and we watched it that morning. For those who have only seen it via MST3K, well, it holds up nicely on it’s own. Of special delight is the Germanic-accented lass who plays Valaria. She’s a hoot.
