One of the rare remakes that surpassed the original.

The sink hole death is still one of my faves...it's also one of the minority of horror films to break the unwritten rule abou not killing small children 🎩

Of note, even the strongest Acids that can eat through metal, wood, flesh etc are easily contained within glass bottles... the primary part that makes up glass, silicon dioxide, is very nonreactive so its either impervious or the acid takes stupidly long to eat through it, there are a couple of acids that can eat glass but everything seen in the movie shows the blobs isnt all that strong... didnt appear to effect stone or similar materials and hardly touched alot of metals outside of using muscle strength to crush or burst seals. So yeah a Glass jar would hold the blob parts, id be more worried about the rubber seal being eaten away myself.

I highly, highly recommend Leviathan. Great effects, and barely anyone has reacted to it. Basically a watered down version of The Thing, and it's underwater.

The Blob actually didn't "eat through" wood or metal. Mostly it goes through or around. And glass is used to hold acids. Glass keeps some spiders from walking up it. I would expect an all glass jar to hold a little tiny blob would work if held closed tight enough.

"Can the people with sense take over?" - Great comment.

08:52. You've got to appreciate the fact that the movie is so self-aware, it criticizes itself in that scene? XD

Damn classic 👊🏻

This movie gave me nightmares as kid. Was scared a blob would devour me and slowly digest me while still alive....Like the sarlacc pit in star wars.

Love this film,which I saw on its original release and many times since,great fx for time ...with odd exception (the sho of them being chased by the giant blob is clearly back projection! Love the misdirection of killing off the character you think is going to be the hero early on ❤️👍🎩

The whiskey prophecies! 😂 ❤ Got to love the crazy Preacher/ Reverend whatever he is. Lol

By the way, it can't break through that glass because it was small. 37:21

Blob kills Pennywise. It has no fear to prey on and Pennywise has been shown to be vulnerable to physical attack.

"I called that" says the guy who saw the movie already.

Not "80's logic," just simple chemistry. Different types of corrosives work on different types of materials. Hydrochloric Acid, which is most likely what the blob secretes as it is the acid produced by your stomach for digestion, can eat through metal and wood and has no effect on glass. If an acid was able to eat through any substance there would be nothing you could contain it in. Hydrofluoric acid can eat through glass, plastic and some types of metal but does not affect nickel, gold, platinum, silver, Teflon, rubber or neoprene.

Glass can contain basically any reactive substance so long as it doesn’t contain certain chemicals, like fluorine.

32:40. I believe the preacher character was talking about "the end of days", especially the parts of "creatures" rising up. Then again, the preacher character was partially crazy in this movie, so you can probably interpret that statement in a variety of ways. ;)

Complain about “80s logic” all you want, but you can’t deny that it’s the only decade with good remakes, it had the best practical effects and it had the best movies in general. 👍🏻

37:30 Glass can contain various chemicals and acid is one of them.

If you get lit on fire by incendigel, no amount of rolling will save you. That stuff is brutal.

Keep in mind acid is contained in glass vials

The funny part is kids, elderly, disabled, and injured are what predators normally attack. Why do you think mountain lions are more likely to attack children. They are looking for a meal not a fight.

My favourite movie of all time

Yeah a big time favourite when I was a kid, Was like 11 or 12 when it came out and the video dude actually let me rent this lol a couple nightmares but was good to go. Great vid and cheers. 🤘

Also, there's something else that's also worth a look: Prey (Dutch name: Prooi) (made in 2016) aka Uncaged (released in 2020) Dutch Lion Horror movie by Dick Maas. It's about a man eater lion that accidently gets released in the city of Amsterdam and wages war with the humans by attacking them in the remote areas of the city. It's a killer animal subgenre movie within horror. :)

G. Cinema: I HATE it when they have kid victims !! Blob: I don't discriminate. I melt victims equally.

Greetings from Chicago ✌️🍿

Glass is nonreactive to most acids. It tracks.

loved listening to you guys discussing covid and how we should all get along with each other.. its funny how certain films, even horror, can have such a meaning and impact in different ways to different people in different age groups... oh by the way, this was the first certificate 18 i sneaked into over here in england .. i was 13 .. it was amazing on the big screen

@16:12 she yells at Flag. Then in a split second he recognizes 'hangry' and offers the woman food.

I like the ending song

Wish I could have warn you two about that movie, including a child's death in it since I have seen this movie years ago. But didn't want to spoil it. And that's why I don't go near the sewer.

49:04. You should TOTALLY show her some Crocodile and Alligator horror movies. She'll never look at them the same way again? XD

I love your reaction to this awesome gross creature movie ! xx

Is it bad I can eat pizza while watching The Blob, The Fly and The Thing?

People who condemn horror movies as "too violent" are such hypocrites. Every single day, people die horribly and needlessly because of someone else's carelessness or indifference. But the films that try to actually explain and shed light on these issues? They must be the REAL problem, right? I guarantee you, if these knuckleheads had their way, and every piece of media was "family friendly", there would still be just as much violence and suffering in the world as there is now.

43:13. If that was the case, we'd actually be LIVING in the world of Fallout (the game). :P

Nice^^ 👍

Has she seen Se7en?

Killing a kid is too easy? It never happens in movies which is stupid when it comes to creature movies or just movies where people are dying in general. I respect movie's that have the balls to do that. I also respect movie's that don't wrap everything up nice and end super depressing or tragically. Kids, handicaps, animals, etc, would be the first to go if a creature is looking for prey.. it makes 0 sense that they survive everything.
