a few days back, a dvd of thunderbirds (the remake of the marionette tv series of the sixties), came across louie's desk, courtesy of one of the composers in the company's music division (we're a semi-one-stop-shop for multimedia production, so to speak).
neither of us had caught the movie during it's theater run (hard to remember why, if it was because we were busy, or due to the potential for the movie's being a dud courtesy of the director...)
later that day, while i was on a search and destroy mission for temporary files on his home computer, louie decided that it may be time to give the movie a look-see. at that time, joe also came in, so we three ...
... suffered.
it was, plainly said, horrible. at times, it seemed that i was watching a bad local movie, so lame were the situations, so centered on the teenage component of the cast, so set up with "moments" where they could throw off some "witty" quips while time stopped, then resumed as soon as their "cute" moments were over.
ugh.
i am not surprised that it bombed.

hey i didn't suffer that much...i was half asleep,hehe.
sigh.
as they say, remakes aren't as good as the originals. the thunderbirds movie is one great example. rarely do you see nowadays remakes that are as great as the original.
