"Let me start out by saying that I know more about the original RED DAWN than anyone you've ever met." -When I first read this, I had my doubts. They quickly vanished.

Never in all my time spent here have I been so pleasantly surprised by a comment. I thoroughly, enjoyed this, well written, on point and absolutely hilarious. Your insight in to RED DAWN is much appreciated.

"All that hate's gonna burn you up, kid."

"It keeps me warm."

Brilliant indeed!

Great work KB.

Thanks. Before reading the original screenplay, I wanted to re-watch the 1984 film. I couldn't find it ANYWHERE on line. I downloaded the torrent (took 9 hours). Finally was ready to watch it tonight and I downloaded the German version... DOH!

Soon.

It's been 15 years!

Interesting.

Disney pulled the original TRON ahead of the re-release:
