Variety reports that Rob Zombie will write, produce and direct a remake of the 1958 horror movie The Blob. And he’s already taken issue with the main element of the film. Zombie says the “big red blobby thing” has to go. “That gigantic Jello-looking thing might have been scary to audiences in the 1950s, but people would laugh now.”
Rob Zombie will no doubt take The Blob “any crazy direction” he wants to, just like he says in the interview. More details about the remake of “The Blob” here.

Ofcourse that is his opinion, which I do not share. Since I am NOT a cookie cut-out member of mainstream society, I view things much differently. I thought the first remake of “the Blob' was interesting, but I still prefer the original. And I found nothing funny about a blob-like creature consuming human beings! Never the less, I am looking forward to seeing how Mister Zombie's overwrought intentions stretches matters too darn far, as he did with the Halloween retreads. Good attempt, but too darned OVER-INFLATED And I reckon that he'll have to call his monster…the Anti-BLOB? Or Anti-BOB???! (LOLOLOL) – The Siteseer

Yeah, the first blob movie was great; a classic. It may be a little dated now, but still not laughable. Not a big fan of Zombie's movies, but I guess I will watch, just to see where he takes it. The classic monster movies are great; the remakes just add more blood and useless plot tweaks.(IMHO)
