The adorable Linda Miller!

The fashion and space station life

I love that the reason for the slime outbreak is that they tried to sterilize any contaminations, which only fed it.

I liked it. :) Maybe I was just in the right mood for it, but this was just a nice bit of simple fun. The miniature effects are ok, but definitely sub-Toho quality, the monster suit design is effectively creepy even if the movement doesn't convey the creepiness, the acting's a bit over the top, and that theme music. Whoo doggies! :lol:

They were bestest of best friends back in the day, but then Zap had to send enough men in to fill the killbot's kill counter. Kif never forgave him.

Image
Linda Miller's in this? Why bother looking for her when you have Luciana Paluzzi!

Image
Green Slime! It's a washing detergent, a pickle substitute, and it can jump your car's dead battery!

Image
Hey, don't I know you? Weren't you involved in some kind of diamond heist with a giant moth?

What I really don't like are the monster "squeeze toy" sound effects. It gets old pretty quick, and is definitely more grating than it ever was terrifying. The swooping astronaut attack at the end is pretty damn silly looking too. However, I do like the basic storyline, and think this is one of those rare movies that could do with an update.
