Thats my answer for everything

nikka's remaking Dune?
First one doesn't have the best reputation. I know it has its lovers and defenders but it bombed big time when it came out and still is a bit polarizing.
That's cause Jodorowsky didn't do it.

I havent seen any of these in years but I remember thinking the 90's one was the drizzlin shyts, worse than the Invasion even. Seemed cheap and corny...wasnt it on an army base?

) the original film made sense for it being developed and was more impactful because of it, imo. The 70s movie was good but didn't have that underlining political/public fear base like the OG film which lessen my view it. I'm a history buff so little things like that goes a long way with me.
Yeah. '93 was the army base, starring Gabrielle Anwar and Forrest Whitaker and Meg Tilly were in it. I guess I'll put it on in a few.
Some trivia for you, Body Snatchers is a ripoff of The Puppet Masters...the book coming 4 years prior.

The 70s one was still the fear of losing yourself and all that bullshyt in the 70s about new age and self help and self actualization and everyone dealing with the fallout of hippie culture of the 60s. It was also a post watergate world so yeah

'78 is way, way better than '56.
Especially when you take into account that they were only 22 years apart. Meaning this new one that comes out will be further apart in time from the 90's version than the Sutherland one was from the black and white original. Huge progress.

I can kinda see that with the counter culture dealing with the aftermath of Nixon's and Ford's administration. Don't think Invasion of the Body Snatchers was the best film to convey that message.
