Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you like movies?
(YEAH!)
I love monster movies, I simply adore movies, And the they are, the better they are. And cheepnis in the case of a movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings attached to the jaw of a giant spider. tell you, a one that I saw one time, I think the name of the was "It conquered the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you ever see that The monster looks sort of like an ice-cream corn with teeth around the bottom. It looks a, like a teepee or a of a rounded off pup-tent affair. And ah, it's got on the base of it, I don't why but it's a very threatening sight. And then he's got a frown and, you know, ugly and everything, And there's one scene where the ah monster is coming out of a cave. See? There's always a scene where they out of a cave, at once. And the rest of the cast... it musta made around the 1950's. The lapels are about like th at wide, The ties are about that wide and this short, And they always a little revolver that they're gonna shoot the monster with. And there is a girl who falls down and twists her ankle. Hey hey! Of course there is! You how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting their ankle on behalf of a ice-cream corn. Well in this scene, In this scene folks, they ah, they didn't wanna re-take it 'cause it musta been so good wanted to it, but they... When the monster came out of the cave, just over on the left hand side of the screen you can see about much two-by-four to the bottom of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And then obviously off-camera somebody's "No! Get it back!" ... and they drag it back a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now cheepnis.
Right. And this is cheepnis here: One two four...
