The Fog

(2005)

I have no idea what to say about this one. It keeps the vast majority of the shit that was cool about the original The Fog (like, well, the fog), but doesn't bother fixing any of the stuff that was wrong with it (like the fact that everyone is boring as fuck and we don't give a damn what happens to any of them). If you like the old one you'll probably like this one too, but frankly I can't see any reason to watch both of them, unless you're really hung up on seeing a version where someone researches the mystery using Google and a version where they can't because it hasn't been invented yet. If you ask me, they should've just re-released the first one with some dumb gimmick - like "Fog-O-Vision" or something - and then pocketed whatever was left over. My anonymous insider source (Dustin) tells me that this version cost about 16 million bucks, so here's how it could've worked out:

  • Ad campaign pimping the big re-release, now in "Fog-O-Vision": 5 million dollars

  • 2500 cheap-ass fog machines: $50,000 (You can get these at Big Lots. I'd send an intern to do this, or maybe the key grip.)

  • Rental truck to carry fog machines: 100 bucks (Hope you can drive a stick, key grip.)

  • Refunded to the studio: 3 million dollars (Now you can say you brought the project in "under budget". Watching the movie could cause cancer at this point and you'd still be a fucking hero.)

  • Wired to your offshore account: $7,949,900

  • Boning a major studio out of millions: Priceless
