I remember seeing something similar when I was a kid in the 70's. it was a japanese b-movie with a guy who could merge all kinds of junk into himself getting bigger and bigger, eventually becoming a gigantic monster that roamed tokio(?). there was also a hero who could fly, and eventually drilled himself through the junk monster, killing him. I wish I knew what the film was called...

the concept is probably a lot older though, I think in a way already fritz lang's metropolis worked on the idea in the 1920's... and even music of edgar varese in the same period I guess.

Direct them, act in them, sell them, study them, review them.

Yes, Bowmann, we all get it. The thread title is stupid and it absolutely must be pointed out. Very hilarious.
