Greedy Blob! Need to have a word with Mr and Mrs Blob about their offspring.

Generally, it's just the one Blob per town destruction. I think they're quite territorial about it. Mind you, it would be embarrassing to have spent ages going through space in a meteor, only to find the first planet you land on, already has a Blob.

That bit from the original 1958 movie when the old man pokes the stick into the meteor and watches the jelly-like substance slowly slide down the stick only for it to keep coming up towards his hand when he turns it upside down always creeps me out. Really well done.

when I was younger, I would literally scream in fright at scary movies.
when I was 5, I ran out of the theater during the dinosaur segment in Fantasia...

Ibby, I was scared by one sequence of Fantastia, too, but it wasn't the dinosaurs. It was Night on Bald Mountain, with all those demons. Why, yes, as a matter of fact, I was raised Catholic.

I didn't run out of the theater for Fantasia.
I did run out of the theater when Lois Lane died in Superman.

I didn't see Superman in the theater, but on TV. I think it was around 1982, which would mean I was in grade school. Lois' death was heavy stuff for a kid to see.

It took me a while to even remember it was part of the plot. I guess war comics had already desinsistised me by then

Originally the reversing time trick was to be the resolution for Superman II and Zod and his cronies because they filmed both movies at the same time, but then with finances becoming tight they decided to put all the effort into the first movie - which I think was a good decision and resulted in a movie still held up today.

I still keep a little printout of what goes in each bin handy.

The last time I checked a number of council, spent lots of pennies on the recycling schemes only for it to end up in landfill. Probably as they cut funding in later years. A fair amount of resistance to an incinerator being built in the county. Elsewhere, a number of related scams.
Why save the planet, when you can line your pockets.
