I lurve lurve lurve the original Manchurian Candidate. Can't wait to see the sequel. I'm even planning on getting a babysitter and seeing it in the theater.
Really, it's probably not a spoiler at all.
Well, not once you've already seen the movie.
Now hold on, I'm gonna press the right pedal harder. I expect us to accelerate.

I had assumed as much, Jessica. Need to keep it fun for those who saw the first version.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
So....I should see the first one before going to see the Denzel one?

It's pretty great, Steph, in that Cold War era kind of way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I vote seeing the original second, just on the principle that the original is always better, AND I think the re-make is going to be pretty darn good, so I wouldn't want to be sitting there comparing it unfavorably. You know what I'm saying?

It! Them! Who can tell the difference?
Heh. Pronouns were scarier back then.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I selfishly vote no, because I really want to hear the reaction of someone seeing the story for the first time, set in the modern era.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
"Revenge of the Sith."
Which, if you have a lisp, could be taken as being about Leia finally smacking Luke around, but good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, it's not as bad as Send in the Clones.
Damn, I wish I had gone to Comic-Con. Then I could have asked this woman out.
