WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

Never seen it but sorry… I remain unconvinced 🥺🙃
I know it's been said several times already, but that last line made me literally laugh out loud! So true and so funny!
Hahahahahahaha worms! That was funnyyyyyy! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Just hicks worms"..... Hahahahah! Fuck that's funny! Loved this Paul!!
You made me laugh again. I actually liked this movie in the same sorta guilty way that I liked Big Trouble in Little China.
That last line was hilarious. Made me laugh out loud!

Those are great cult classics
Hilarious, and accurate!! Love this minute review :)
I use to love this movie too! I might have it on dvd somewhere but could not find it on streaming when I looked earlier in the year! 🪱
I remember 'Dune' just weird worms to me. Good work.
I'd totally forgotten about this one!!! Last line was perfect, hahahaha!!
Never seen it. Don't like the look of it. Loved "hicks fighting worms" - made me laugh out loud!
Tremors is a masterpiece and you cannot change my mind.
