The need for REEtards to defend shitty Soyny remakes even outclasses their love for troons, amazing. Broken clock etc. but that cosplay guy is right, fuck remakes, remasters and all the so called artists shitting on the original work.
Not much of a fan of Electric Underground but I did like his term "artistic laundering" for all the new remakes and adaptations of other people's work made by people who think they can do better and shove in their warped worldview and politics.
Those remakes were made by fans that wanted to see things they enjoyed made even better. Modern remakes are made by people who hate the properties and want to fix them.
For a brief moment I hoped Shadow Hearts 2 was getting a remake.
Well at least for Fly, Thing, and Body Snatchers, I think it helps that they're not remaking previous films really, instead they're differing adaptations of the original source material. Rather than being an endless barrage of "remember this" the movies are all just adaptations, faithful or otherwise, of a story from another medium. Nobody expected the plebs to point at the screen and clap when they saw the monster in The Thing, because the works were more than just recycling the movies made before. Never seen The Blob so can't say if that's the case.
The only way white phosphorous could possibly be uniquely illegal in war is if someone came up with a WP sprayer that sprayed out a mist of oil coated WP droplets so they could use its toxic effects on soldiers.
Black people turn white just from standing next to her paper-bag-test-failing ass.
It's one of those things that is situationally legal. All use isn't banned, just targeting civilians with it. Needless to say, countries using it, no matter what they actually did (like us in Fallujah) always claim a legitimate military purpose. This is sometimes a lie.
They were also helped by the fact that the guys they had at their disposal were the best of the best of the end of life of practical special effects. Rob Bottin's effects for The Thing were incredible, and he was backed up by Stan Winston. When your backup ends up with 4 SFX Oscars he's probably pretty good. And then you get your movie score done by Ennio Morricone. The tools you bring to the film are a reflection of how much you care about what you're doing.
"Royce White- hasn't said anything negative about trans people, but we should still be worried."
Yeah, they might want some useful idiots for a photo op.
