Might as well tell my tale of saying the unsayable
(dusts off cobwebs and starts typing)

A few years ago I was stranded abroad and working to pay for my trip home. The locals were a pain in the ass, the food was pretty decent but the fact that there was some form of local conflict going on meant that I wanted to bugger off sharpish. I finally managed to get close to sorting everything when I was given one final job from one of the locals.

Simple (and like many of the things I had done before, pretty dodgy), the job was to pop over to the more lawless part of the area, pick up a package using the right codeword and bring it back to the guy who asked me to do the job. My plan was to then bugger off into the sunset and leave this dump behind. It should have been simple…if I wasn’t distracted on the way and sort of screwed up the codeword.

How the hell did he think I would manage to remember to say Klaatu verata nicto anyway? Having to fight off your evil twin and a number of mini copies of yourself can really cause a lapse in concentration.

Apologies for cobwebs, I seemed to have taken one drop of sleeping potion too many, but I’m sure I said the right words this time……

This is the fucking remake isn't it?

My first thought was that you and I must have
very different memories of The Day The Earth Stood Still!

At least it wasn't Star Wars, I suppose.

Why do so many great films/shows get bad remakes?
Surely it would be more sensible to make a better remake of an originally bad film?

I don't think anyone sets out to make a bad remake,
but, if you don't even have an original idea, odds are you're going to make a shit film.

It's a poorly written summary of a film that (mis)quotes another film.
It's the height of comedy.

Meh
This is meant to be Evil Dead 3 but according to Dr Shambo I've incorrectly spelt the incantation what Ash was meant to say.


Couple of people did get it mixed up with the day the earth stood still though...dont know how.
