Kathy and I just finished watching “The Tomorrow War”, a truly silly action movie. The best part were the monsters; you can easily imagine the discussion during planning the movie:
Boss: “OK, now let’s talk about the monsters. What should they look like?”
Tom: “Well, they’ve gotta have big teeth. Great big teeth.”
Sue: “Lots and lots of teeth, too.”
Ann: “Claws. Give them claws. Big claws.”
Bob: “Tentacles. I LOVE tentacles. Big, long, ugly tentacles.”
Joe: “Let’s put something on the ends of the tentacles, like teeth, or something that shoots darts.”
Zoe: “We absolutely MUST have spikes on their backs. Totally cool!”
Leo: “Make ‘em fast. Really fast, so that they can outrun people.”
Eve: “They should be able to jump really high and far.”
And so that’s what they made:
Voila! One made-to-order Hollywood monster!
I would like to see a monster that looks just like an adorable kitten, who kills by fluffing people to death.
