So Iā€™m not sure if this is good or bad. But a while back I mentioned to Mrs Cooler that we should watch that movie since Iā€™ve never seen it. She told me emphatically that we had seen it in the movie theatre together when it came out. We got into a playful back and forth about seeing it/not seeing it/ who was wrong. Then I showed her that it came out in 2003 and she got real quiet. We didnā€™t meet until 2004 and didnā€™t start dating til a year after that even.

All this to say that I still havenā€™t seen the movie since I keep that conversation in my back pocket because itā€™s one of the few times Iā€™ve gotten her to readily admit she was wrong lol. Hope itā€™s a good movie for the two of you though!

My favorite cheesy 80s movie remade by my favorite current director? How many avenues can you take to put this in my veins?

I liked the Arnold movie too. I watched it again a while back and posted this screenshot since I get tickled when the far-flung future of a movie is in the real life past:


(Note the missing space between ā€œFood,Natural.ā€ I canā€™t believe they let that get through; however many millions to make the movie and they couldnā€™t hire a copyeditor, wtf.)

Anyway, my hope for a new film is that they hold the cheese and keep it on the dark side. Sounds like they may:

Deadline notes that Wrightā€™s version, being written by Michael Bacall , is a new adaptation that will stick closer to Kingā€™s source material, rather than a remake of the ā€™87 movie.

Yeah, its going to be a much closer resemblance to the original story than the Arnold version (A version I love and respect for what it is, but not at all as an adaptation), but I trust that with Wright at the helm it will still have some humor that is much needed in what is an incredibly bleak story, though one tinged with a certain type of hopefulness at the end.

You gonna ā€œlolwutā€ but I suspect the reason for the error is because of the limitations on the software used at the time to generate text. The margins were set and if theyā€™d added a space, the software would have separated that line of text so that the last word had to fall on the next line. They needed that block of text to be

COLLAPSED. FOOD,NATURAL RESOURCES
AND OIL ARE IN SHORT SUPPLY. A POLICE

and not

COLLAPSED. FOOD, NATURAL
RESOURCES AND OIL

You mess up one line and suddenly you have to rethink the entire design frame.

Itā€™s silly, but it was probably a copyeditor who inserted the error just because they were thinking about how the audience would digest each line of information according to the grouped block of words.
