"B" Movies Part III
Whenever I need to get my mind off of life's woes, I always seem to slink back over to the trusty TV and soak up some more B movie nostalgia. Watching a good classic sci-fi to me is like nourishment being poured directly into the "fun" section of my brain. It doesn't matter that the "science" is bad or outdated, the acting is wooden or corny, or the special effects no longer seem special. Going back to these films gives me a feeling not unlike the feeling many people get when watching good reruns of "The Andy Griffith Show" or "The Dick Van Dyke Show". Sure they're over 40 years old, mostly black and white, and contain trends and ideas long outdated. They also happen to be well written while making wonderful use of some outstanding actors. Some of the episodes just glow with warm fuzzies - The same "warm fuzzies" I feel when revisiting my old movie collection.
