Of course Hollywood is remaking John Carpenter’s 1982 sci-fi masterpiece “The Thing”. Why wouldn’t they? Hollywood is not only out of ideas, but it’s being run by a bunch of retards without a single clue as to what an original idea even is. In fact, why make something new when you can just remake an old movie or an old TV show? It’s laziness at its finest, and that’s Hollywood for ya. Oh sure, the Carpenter version of “The Thing” was a remake in itself, but if you’ve seen it, you know it was light years ahead of the Hawks original. Making matters worst, the studios have tapped “Battlestar Galactica’s” Ron Moore to pen the script. Moore blows. His “BG” is vastly overrated, made popular by critics who drools over Moore’s as-subtle-as-a-sledgehammer-to-the-forehead anti-Bush administration plot lines. The culprits are those geniuses at Strike Entertainment, which also did the “Dawn of the Dead” remake. Nice going, douche bags.
MacReady is soooooo pissed off right now.
