“Cloverfield” Director Set For Pointless “Let The Right One In” Remake

June 30th, 2009 by Skelton

Matt Reeves, of Cloverfield fame, is still plugging away at his American adaptation of Swedish vampire film Let The Right One In. I shudder to think of what’s being changed, because the original was basically flawless. (via io9)

REALLY? Do we really need this? Is it so hard to read subtitles, America? Just thinking about the corporate sheen this remake is going to get is depressing. I guess we better prepare ourselves for a needlessly shaky camera and a bland-but-pretty cast. (more…)

And The Rest Of The World Thinks WE’RE Stupid?

The next time the world at large wants to mouth off about how dumb and uncultured Americans are, I suggest they remember this:

Sony’s “Terminator: Salvation” continued to dominate the international box office over the June 12-14 weekend, grossing $43.4 million from 12,959 runs in 63 markets for an international cume of $164.4 million. (Variety)

This is one international tragedy the U.S.A. ain’t responsible for.  It makes me so damn proud to be ‘merican! Now I’m gonna go eat an entire apple pie while drinking a six-pack of Coors and shooting guns off the back of my SUV. YEE-HAW!
