Did we talk about this one? Because what this reboot needs is CGI car chases.... not.

Don't get me started on Doug Liman.

I thought they already passed on the Tremors TV show with Bacon.

Many years ago I saw Blood Beach, starring John Saxon. Recently I heard that it never got a DVD release and is hard to find. Anyway, I remember it being surprisingly good (though I was much younger then), and now I'm realizing its similarities to Tremors. Has the case ever been made that Blood Beach was the inspiration for the Tremors franchise?
Also, if this latest is going to star Kevin Bacon, shouldn't they refine the killing technique of the graboids so that they dismember the victim with their bite, into four limbs, the head, and the body -- in effect, six degrees of separation? Just saying...

I worked for Mr. Liman on Mr. and Mrs. Smith. The more I think about it, the more I want to write a novel of just that film and it's madness.
Liman was the director. Rumor had it, he became a director because his father was a money man for the studios and demanded that he be given the job. I was responsible for building the sets inside the furniture store where they have a big gunfight at the end. Pretty much everything I built, they filmed. Then they rebuilt and re-filmed it in a different location. I got to play onset carpenter when they filmed at the warehouse. I was installing a breakaway wall for them to drive a truck through. While I was doing this, the film company with Mr. LIman in charge were setting up to film this model home right next to us. Liman always seemed distracted and out of it. Like he had wandered onto set and didn't really know quite what was going on. so, We're setting up. The film company company is going through the lengthy process of setting up the lights, cameras, positioning for the actors, etc.. It was very complicated and I think they had taken an hour up to this point to set it up. Liman spots us. He walks over. He asks us what we are doing. I tell him. Liman likes what he sees. He turns to the First Assistant Director and tells him they should shoot the set we are setting up. What? Your minutes away from shooting in the other direction on a completely different set. You would destroy all the work that had gone into to setting up that shot. Only a crazy person would do that. Next thing you know, they were lighting the break away wall and taking down the lights on the model home set.

I enjoyed that movie. I thought it was about the last good movie that Brad Pitt made.
the hands that guide me are invisible
Oh, the stories, I could tell. And have told.
I really enjoyed Pitt on the Jim Jeffries show. I wish they would bring him back.

Was this the house where you were told to remove a beam or wall that the director didn't want in the shot, which you reluctantly did, suspecting it was a support beam/wall, and you kept worrying everything would collapse on the set and actors during the shoot?
Or is this where you finished the house interior only to have the main actor step inside and say, "No, my character wouldn't live in a house like this," whereupon you had to rebuild everything to his satisfaction? Or are these just artificial memories planted in my android brain? And why do I have this sudden urge to break Harrison Ford's fingers?

This was definitely #2. But it wasn't that house. That was a fake to demonstrate the furniture in the furniture store. The real house that his character wouldn't live in was over on a sound stage.

Now I want to see Mr. & Mrs. Smith again.
The should redo that. As an anime, set in ancient Japan.
