The live-action remake of Fly Me to the Moon arrives in theaters this weekend. The trailers have been very confusing, making it look nothing like the original, suggesting this might be like 2020’s The Invisible Man and be a remake in name only.

Most obviously, where the fuck are the house flies? How can you remake fucking Fly to the Moon WITHOUT house flies? Hopefully they are just hiding them to build up hype in the same way the Longlegs marketing has been hiding Nicolas Cage. But I’m afraid that’s not the case.

For those who have been living under a rock for the last 15 years, Fly Me to the Moon is about a bunch of flies who stow away on the Apollo Space Mission, and must stop it from being sabotaged by an evil Russian fly voiced by Tim Curry. Cold War humor was all the rage in 2008. Also, one of the hero flies is literally named “IQ.” This is to let you know that he’s smart. And if this doesn’t sound like the best movie ever, then I don’t know what kind of impossible standards you have for cinema, and I pity you.

Have a buzzy night, y’all!
