When I saw his pic I assumed the worse,

Don’t scare me like that lemmy!

Thank god I was wrong.

It couldn’t be worse than the version with Marlon Brando. This may be the only reboot that literally can’t lose.

I loved that version. It has B movie camp to it. Also Fairuza Balk as a cat girl?? Count me in.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s a gem—the same way The Room is a gem, or Birdemic is a gem. You can’t believe your eyes and you can’t look away. It is a riveting car crash of a film.

The best part is that the production was such a mess that the documentary about it counts as a second movie!

You mean like this scene?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

I prefer the 1970s version with Michael York.

Oh thank God. I started to read that head line and thought the marvelous bastard died on us.

He'll be good in that. Could be similar to his role in Westworld in terms of gravitas and secret plans.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago

He's great in everything, one of the best actors of all time.

Maybe they should start with The Daughter of Doctor Moreau, which was a sort of retelling from his daughter's POV. Pretty good book.

Well, it can't be worse than the one with Val Kilmer!
