FLEW

I couldn't get the NYTimes Best 1176 Film Vincent Price 1958 version.

So, I got the less than the 'best' David Cronenberg Jeff Goldblum 1986 version. On a whim.

Yes. "Be afraid. Be very afraid".

It is The Fly (1986)

I had never seen it and had missed Jeff in about as good shape as an ectomorph can get.

Sadly, this buff turns into an unrighteous mess before the film is over.

It has some of the wettest gore of any picture I have seen including Alien. Wet is a lot more upsetting than dry; all those oozing body fluids

I liked a lot about it. The sets were very good. The story moved along; it only takes 90 minutes or so. The best time.

Geena Davis is great as the sweetheart who gets left with the sequel in her tummy. We didn't watch the sequel of the remake on the other side. I assume that it is son of the Fly.

I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5 and perhaps a 2 if I forget about it before supper.
