Tweet of the Day, I’ll Provisionally Allow It edition.

It’s hard to argue that, given the essentially cheese-like nature of the original THE BLOB, it’s somehow sacrilegious to actually make a version with better special effects than “pour goo on a photo of the outside of the diner.” As for the (apparently pretty good!) 1988 remake… yeah, I didn’t see it, either. So, sure, give David Bruckner a shot at it. As long as he’s aware that the past history of this particular IP suggests that immediate fame and fortune will not be his, everything should be fine.
