Life imitates the Cinema, hilariously

A couple of current events made me chuckle.  J.Kb posts about an invasion of giant spiders dropping from the sky in Georgia. (and I thought there were weird fauna in Florida ...)

Anyhow, it made me think of this classicly bad horror flick from the 70s:

There are a number of things that are cool about this flick.  It is bad enough that it was shown on Mystery Science Theater.  It also stars Barbara Hale, who portrayed Della Street on Perry Mason.  It also starred Alan Hale, Jr. (no relation to Barbara) who was the Skipper on Gilligan's Island.  And it predicted the future for Georgia, seemingly.  Here's the trailer (note that the entire film is on Youtube):

Next, Peter points out the cutting edge of feminism in space:

Today's [Doofus of the Day] award goes to a group of rather… weird… German feminists with an interest in space.

A German feminist art group has revealed a vulva-shaped spaceship concept, which it is encouraging the European Space Agency to help realise in order to better represent humanity in space and "restore gender equality to the cosmos."

He's not joking, so click through for the hilarity.  But this made me think of this scene from the original Austin Powers movie:

 Like fart jokes, johnson jokes never go out of style.  No report as to whether the ladies were joking or not ...
