Oh that reminds me, a while ago, I had to sit through the previews for the new full length feature Thunderbirds movie, Bleeeeech!! I mean, what's the point really?
In the sixties we liked the Thunderbirds, and no we didn't think the stupid puppets were cool - we thought they looked fakey as heck as they pranced around like they were goofy or something. But the stories were great, and the Tracey boys got to fly rocket ships and supersonic planes and race boats and cars and fight bad guys and between times they were always smoking, drinking and chasing skirt. That was cool! Thunderbirds wasn't a kid's show. They are still fun to watch... and the original series and the two films are more popular in syndication than ever.
Now out comes this PC, remake, live action, kid's movie, piece of cra... aah, aaaw- forget it. We hated kid's movies when we were kids, why do they still even make the crummy things?
Gerry Anderson, the creator of Thunderbirds wants one thing to be very clear about the new movie - that he had NOTHING to do with it. Here's the interview.
We suggest, try these instead - you'll be glad you did!
