Hootie I was not impressed with The Thing, but I found the old 80s version lacking, too, so maybe I just do not like
the premise. I saw something weird yesterday. I never got to see Black Dynamite, but I DID see the trailer live
in a theater one night, and thought, 'how brilliant'. So I have a copy of it on tap for a day to come soon, but in
my waiting period, I went to IMDB to check it out a bit. The latest pages of reviews were all gushing about it,
how it was a brilliant execution of a brilliant idea. So out of curiousity, I went to the first series of reviews and they
just eviscerated it, ironically for all the same reasons it was being praised a few years later on. I thought that was
funny. I think the first reviewers might have been offended by it and only realized it was a spoof much later if at all.
They seemed a little dim.
