    tonight - during a football game, no less - i saw an ad for a remake of 'the day the earth stood still'. it starred keanu reeves.

    i just can't get on board with this. it's one thing to make corman's 'little shop of horrors' into a musical. but making tdtess into a big budget film seems like stealing the original away. maybe i'm just sentimental.

    klaatu barada nikto.

    Keanu Reeves is apparently a really nice guy in real life. To this he must owe his career.

    When I was 8, my aunt rented this movie for me, and we watched it together with me sitting on the floor in her lap. At the crucial moment when the big alien robot is advancing upon the nice lady who can't spit out the magic words, I got so tense I sank my teeth into my aunt's arm. She still dredges that up at Christmas dinners.

    Maybe she'll see the remake with me. I need an excuse to bite her again.
