Time to grab your wallet and dish out that hard-earned dosh, Fallout fans... the classic film "Them!" is out on DVD! (Well, it's supposed to be released on the 6th, but you can find it in some places already.)<br><br>If you don't know what Them! is all about, here's the plot synopsis which I lazily swiped from <a href="http://us.imdb.com/Details?0047573" target="_blank">IMDB</a>:<blockquote><em>Nuclear tests in the desert result in the growth of gigantic mutant ants who menace cities in the American south-west as a team of investigators and the army search for a way to control their spread in this Cold War-era monster film. </em></blockquote>It's fun for the whole family! Here's the details of the DVD (from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/ ... 18-2448833" target="_blank">Amazon.com</a>):<blockquote><em><b>Edition Details:</b>• Region 1 encoding (US and Canada only)<br>• Black & White<br>• Theatrical trailer(s)<br>• Archive footage montage on how they created and operated those dang giant ants!<br>• Genre notes on big bug movies<br>• Full-screen format</em><br><center><img src="http://www.duckandcover.net/news/them1. ... >Excellent stuff. Big thanks to Mr. Chris Avellone for passing along the word!

Hmm...this movie sounds strangly like the game: It Came From The Desert

My thoughts exactly. It's an Amiga game, never liked it too much though.

Was it a Cinemaware game? That looks like Rocket Ranger on the movie screen.

Hmmmm.... I think I saw this movie on an MST3K episode.

Yep, it was a cinemaware game. A good 'un, too.

• Full-screen format

Goddammit!

Edit: I just checked imdb.com and Them! was originally shot in 1.66:1 aspect ratio, so it should be widescreened. Guess I'll be waiting for the widescreen...
