Remember to properly shrink wrap your humans before storing them in ice, or there will be freezer burn. (Which looks like freezer bum, now that I look at it.)
Opening credits of the movie, about six minutes in. One of the actors is Charles Borromel, and one of the “guys” says “Borromel, the thorough but gentle laxative….” (a paraphrase of the tag line from an ad for a laxative called Dulcolax).
I saw that the author’s name is Barjavel, so in my mixed-up mind, I got “Barjavel, the through but gentle laxative….”
One of my very bad habits is judging a book by its cover. Title says “Ice People” an’ all I see is a coupla well coifed hairless apes lying on sparse cots. Meh, back on the shelf it goes… Canadians; we’re kinda literal about the ice thing…

Ladies and gentleman, introducing modesty refraction. But, yes, he’s still dickless.

Never go to sleep on an argument.

I’ve seen Lifeforce, so let’s just let Sleeping Beauty be.

Kudos to the editor who managed to botch a rave quote from the frickin’ NEW YORK TIMES. Way to go, Einstein!
(I leave it to you, the esteemed GSS panel, to judge how to properly use a bankable review quote on a cover – but this surely ain’t it.)

Cover illustration lacks credibility because the woman is not placing her icy feet in the small of the man’s back.

That reminds me, I must check the use-by date on that Ralgex I found in the bathroom.

I guess her warm heart melted the modesty ice cube, and his chilled blood snapped off his shaft.

She’s thinking: “I wonder if he’s thinking about other women”
He’s thinking: “I wonder if she knows about shrinkage”

Of course he’s dickless. Surrounded by ice, I’d expect his genitals to have completely inverted.
The only question is why her nips aren’t cutting their way out of the ice.
I suppose this is a scene from early in the book, as there won’t be much action while they’re both still frozen.*
@ARY: IKR? Way to bury the lede with putting the NYT quote after the generic description.
*I was going to make a “Let It Go” joke here, but you can make up your own.

@Fred: I’ve seen “Lifeforce,” and if I remember correctly, Mathilda May had a remarkable pair of companions.

The author’s name puts me in mind of a rather lame MST3K line….

So I’m thinking the light at top and around them is defrosting them?
We’ll soon see if there’s freezer bum. Er, burn. Either. Both.

@Hammy: Well, as a diehard MiSTie, I’ve been wracking my brain. What is the rather lame MST3K line?
July 15th, 2021 at 1:13 am
@Tor (prev.):
It’s from the credits of Cave Dwellers (MST301).

@Hammy: Gotcha.
I have a special love for Cave Dwellers: It’s one of the first eps I saw.
