"Let's break this down... things that made the original great: 1) John Carpenter, 2) Kurt Russel, 3) James Hong, 4) score by John Carpenter." Indeed. WHY bother? It is so much fun to watch Kurt Russell having a ball in Carpenter's films. Watching his take on Elvis, his send-up of Clint Eastwood in Escape From New York and The Thing, and then his John Wayne caricature in Big Trouble…. The people who are remaking this movie DO NOT understand what makes it great!

"The wonderfully, odd, off-kilter humor of W.D. Richter's script." Amen, Greg!

Actually, nowadays I'm happy for *ANY* new Hollywood mainstream movie that *ISN'T* yet another Marvel Universe adaptation.

I wish I understood why people get upset over remakes. Awhile ago, I started a thread about the plethora of Hollywood redos in recent years. I made the point that NONE of them become hits, and the ORIGINAL films are the ones that fans continue to enjoy. These redos are done because they are cheap and/or the studio already owns the rights. So, do not fret my sons brm
