Like many folks, my initial impression upon seeing trailers for the Michael Bay-directed summer flick called “The Island” went something like this: “Oh, they’re doing a ripoff/remake of Logan’s Run. How nice. Next!”

I then discovered that Logan’s Run has nothing to do with it. No, instead they’re remaking an entirely different movie… “Parts: The Clonus Horror.” (Or just “Clonus” if you prefer.)

Wait a minute! Are you telling me that really bad movies, bad enough to be riffed by the MST3K crew, are now fodder for big-budget remakes? What’s next, Tim Burton’s “Manos: Hands of Fate”? (Note to Johnny Depp: Don’t do it!)

This is horrifying in a new and not-particularly-delightful way.
