Yet another completely unnecessary remake

yendiTalentless and ludicrously overrated director Rob Zombie is remaking The Blob.
Now, the original Blob -- Steve McQueen aside -- was a flawed piece of cheese, and begged for a remake.
But it got a near-perfect one in 1988, with Shawnee Smith and Kevin Dillon, as well as a great supporting bit by Del Close. Some nice twists on the tropes, a solid cast, and good B-movie directing by Chuck Russell. It not only doesn't need to be remade, it especially doesn't need to remade by the guy who made the piece of shit known as the Halloween remake.
