The Stuff

Campy classic about some stuff. 

Ok, so I would totally eat it. I love anything marshmallow related, and that includes the stuff. It looks delicious, what can I say. James thought it looked gross and once it revealed itself as sentient and mobile, he dubbed it sourdough starter. 

There are a number of other weird things in this movie that are amusing, from a character named "Chocolate Chip Charlie" to someone legitimately eating shaving cream? Which led to some great dialogue such as: 

"I threw up in your car! I'm sorry! I just ate shaving cream!"

"Well, we all have to eat shaving cream every once in a while."

???

Also, there is a really funny scene in a hotel where they filmed someone laying on the floor but they turned the camera so it looked like it was the wall, so that he could squirm around and appear to be in midair. Sorry, I know this is a poor explanation; hopefully you can picture the amazingness in your head. 

More great dialogue: 

(After ONE guy gets shot-) "I like the sight of blood, but this is disgusting!"

Also, I really liked the main guy (who James accurately described as a proto-Muldor) and he had some fun banter with a lady about who's dick was bigger, his or hers. And then he ends up with that chick! How's that for progressive 1985? Wow. One thing for sure though, the green screen film editing skills back then were prrrrrreeettty bad. 
And Paris - is there a statue of limitations for yourself as far as the b-rated campy self-aware comedy horror movies that you will not watch? Do they have to be over 30 years old? I expect your review of Leprechaun 5 to be an explanation of why you are ok watching this Stuff movie, but not Leppy in the Hood.

Also (SPOILER ALERT) it's super weird how it turns into almost a documentary in the end? And how they force some CEOs to eat it? Kind of confusing.
