The Fog (1980) has the most perfect cast.

I haven't seen Zombie's latest films, and he does seem to dwell on the sadistic dark nature of his characters, but I don't mind some of his films and do like
The Devil's Rejects
. I loved the soundtrack too.
I despised his
Halloween - 07'
reeboot. I just can't really get into it. Even the protagonists were horrible. However, (and I was pleasantly surprised), I just loved his sequel to it
Halloween II - 09'
.
I found it visually strong and potent and this time I was really invested in 2 of the surviving characters and what happened to them.

The Fog
reboot is abysmal and so are the
My Bloody Valentine
and
Friday The 13th
reboots.
They are hollow and empty and cold and just sit there all flat before me with no genuine imagination or even passion. Cut and paste approach from screenplay to filming made by hack directors who had no vision, or sense of character.

That one is very good.
I haven't seen for a while and it was still made in an era when films were original and had decent acting and a sense of awe behind the conception. Imagination was unfettered by mundane and repetitive visual tropes like today.

The Best that I have ever seen is the 1982 Movie "
John Carpenter's THE THING
" which was (sort of) a Remake of "
THE THING FROM ANOTHER WORLD
" but also really more true to the Original Novella "
WHO GOES THERE ?

I have never seen The Thing.
Quite ironic as it is playing at the Music Box theater in Chicago tonight and my bus heads out in one hour.
I don't really care. I'm sure it's a good movie, but I've never been all that interested in it. I saw the dog scene and that turned me off.
I do like the 1951 version.

Pity you didn't still have the open opportunity to contemplate it Mr. H.
Would have been a fun experience to see it as it was meant to be seen.

Yeah, I blocked him because he was compelled to follow around for the main purpose of beimg unpleasant.
Plus, he never seemed all that bright to start with and what the heck am I supposed to do with dull, boring and unpleasant?

Nothing, that is the straighty in a nutshell.
He's just a nasty one where you have been concerned.
You know what they say about the ruffs? Some ruffs are actually queer!!!
Watched
The Naked Civil Servant
the other day. Haven't seen for a while. Most enjoyable film, even if tinged with sadness.
