A Movie

Last night we watched a very enjoyable movie - Tremors. It's a humorous spoof about a remote desert community finding itself invaded by huge, carnivorous underground creatures [named "Graboids" by the townspeople] that are inferred to have arisn by radiation induced mutations. What's really fun about the show is the character, Bert Gummer, who's a skilled survivalist living with his equally competent wife in a ... bunker.

Here's some info about the character of Bert Gummer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burt_Gummer

We enjoyed the TV series that came from the movie when it was repeated on the Science Fiction channel a few years ago. The monsters are a bit like the giant worms from the book, Dune, but smaller. The show (movie or series) is a hilarious parody of sci fi monsters, survivalists, country/western characters, rowdy blue collar workers, scientists, and government bureaucrats - lolol, maybe it's a parody of everyone.

If you want to have a some fun and can put ourself in a silly frame of mind, try it.

And when you see Bert & Mrs. Bert and their bunker, think of moi et ma femme - me and my wife. [a joke]

One thing ... my bunker has much better concealment and terrain cover than Bert's.

Krypto is still salivating, but is patient. Mrs. B is nonchalantly patient.
