That John Carpenter’s phenomenal remake came out in the same year as, and was unfortunately trounced by, another benign, and loveable visitor from the stars, is a direct parallel to the original going head to head with The Day The Earth Stood Still. Funny thing, Fate, isn’t it? What goes around, comes around, eh?
