That's just creepy😕  Wouldn't be surprised if there were millions of them walking the streets spying on us soon.

I've got the modernized book, I tracked down the original Colliers serialized version, saw the original movie and the remakes. Still missing the original book version.

I really don't mind that they've remade it so many times. I just consider it retellings of the same story. I enjoyed the man-dog in both movies.

The best in my opinion are the original book and movie. Modernized book is OK.

And I think the Elon-dog-robot is at least as creepy as the man-dogs from the movies. But in the movies it was supposed to be creepy! 😄 

Skip to the end if you aren't interested in Body Snatchers. This is just boring detail.

The modernized book changes some things. In the Colliers serial and the original book and movie, Dr. Bennell's car was a Ford sedan, green and white. In the modernized book it was a red Mercedes 2-seater, despite once having three people in the "front seat" and at one point having the Belicecs in the "back seat". All the written versions were set in Mill Valley, California which is a real place; you can follow the action on a real life map. 🙂  The dates updated from 50s to 70s. The written versions all have a much happier ending than the movie versions.

Sorry. I just happen to really like the story.

Ah!!  "Invasion of the Money Snatchers" was a National Lampoon parody in 1981. Sorry, I missed that one somehow. 🙂 

Probably best not to pursue that one too closely. 😄

Yes we did.  Have you looked in your basement yet?\

The tires are worn.  The shocks are shot.  The steering is wobbly.  But the engine still runs fine.

Good advice. Not a lot of hiding places here.

But I am re-reading the book. 😄
