This is and update to the previous post!
The Son of Svengoolie ran the original Blob over the weekend and
It really made me think of the Gulf Coast disaster from BP.
The movie is campy of the suface but there really is many similarities
and much hidden meaning in various parts of the film. If you get a chance to check it out, incase you haven' seen it in a long time, it will be good chance to see it.
