be this a stupid movie . you bet . i could not find any moment in this film that be creepy or scary . stupid moment . plenty . stupid character . you bet . bad effect . everywhere . rick baker may have go and do big and good thing and this be not one of them . oh well people get ta start somewhere . dr. ted nelson be cheese . he be the most whiny doctor i have ever see . he get a melt man run amok out in ventura county somewhere and he not overly happy that his wife be pregnant ( probably cause she 55 year old and weigh 90 lb ) and there no cracker to be find anywhere . plus he get the not too helpful general on his hinder want to find astronaut steve . and the local sheriff want to know what go on even though mr. nelson can not tell him anything . there also some random character throw in for good measure who encounter the melting man . eventually the movie end and out monster get scoop into a trash can to become compost . in the end it just what you need for a great mst episode .
