Yup. They’re remaking the Blob. I assume that Samuel L. Jackson will die in it, because he actually dies in a lot of his films. Presumably this is all right with him; of course, having a net worth in the hundred of millions probably cushions that particular blow something fierce. It certainly would for me.
If you’re wondering why I’m not particularly exercised by this, well…
Sure. Let’s light this candle. We have as much right to make cheesy movies as did our grandparents.
Remaking… again.
It’s funny: I have the 1958 movie up on a tab, and I keep expecting it to be in black and white.
And it’s a Steeve McQueen movie (his first in a lead role). For some reason, I always forget that. The titular monster is really memorable, but I guess his performance wasn’t so much…
All I can say is he had a pretty good payday for Snakes on a Plane.
And this remake doesn’t even count my friend’s high school parody film, “The Gelatinoid That Attempted to Conquer the Universe”.
