Replying to Avatar poe😱

I did not watch the reboot yet. I have a tendency to watch movies like, 5 years or more too late 😂 I also think I subconsciously avoid reboots or reimaginings now, a lot of the time it just feels unnecessary. Although a tonal change from the humor to something a little darker might be cool.

It's kind of like I could watch the reboot/prequel to The Thing, which did have some cool ties to the original, but ultimately just left me wanting to rewatch the 1982 version.

I did however watch all of Ash vs. Evil Dead which I found pretty delightful.

Probably unpopular opinion but that's what I liked about the thing remake/prequel🤷🏽

When it came out I hadn't seen the thing. So I rented it from blockbuster then went and saw the new one.

First.

It was great because that was my first experience watching the thing which is a great film.

Second I went in thinking ok is it going to be different? Or are they going for a shot for shot thing like psycho with Vince vahn"

Then the thing went on and it was totally different and I was like what's happening????

And only at the end did I realize this happened before the original and I read like OH SHIT THOSE WERE THE BODIES AND SUCH!

And that read like a big brain canon moment.

I saw The Thing From Another World (1951), but I’m not sure that’s the original you’re referring to.
