    Sam Raimi to direct "Day of the Triffids"? Wow!

    http://www.aintitcool.com/node/47132

    Let's hope it's as good as the 1981 BBC TV series, and not as bad as the 2009 BBC TV series!
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    IMO, Raimi's ONLY good film was "The Evil Dead II" and I can't even watch that anymore.

    There's no way I'd give such a great story to him. No way at all.

    Agree with Andy, the 1981 'Day of the Triffids' was easily the best version. Scared the crap out of me when I was a kid. Bought the series on DVD a couple of years ago. It's still excellent.
