Cheepnis. Let me tell you something, do you like movies?
(YEAH!)
I love monster movies, I simply adore movies, And the cheaper they are, the they are. And in the case of a monster movie has nothing to do with the budget of the film, it helps. But true cheepnis is exemplified by visible nylon strings to the jaw of a giant spider. tell you, a one that I saw one time, I think the of the film was "It conquered the world" (YEAH! ) And the... Did you see that one? The monster looks sort of like an inverted 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 know why but it's a threatening sight. And he's got a frown and, you know, ugly mouth and everything, And there's this one scene where the ah monster is out of a cave. See? There's a scene where they come 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 wide and about this short, And they always have a little revolver that they're gonna the monster with. And there is always a girl who falls down and her ankle. Hey hey! Of course is! You know how they are, the sex and everything, Twisting ankle on behalf of a little ice-cream corn. in this particular scene, In this scene folks, they ah, they didn't re-take it 'cause it musta been so good they wanted to keep it, but they... When the monster out of the cave, just over on the left hand side of the you can see about this much two-by-four attached to the of the Thing as the guy is pushing it out, And then obviously off-camera goin': "No! Get it back!" ... and they drag it back a little bit as the guy is goin': "KCH! KCH!" Now cheepnis.
Right. And is cheepnis here: One two three four...
