Comment by michelle on August 29, 2009 at 12:06am - why does Hollywood have to do remakes can't they just find writers who have ideas of their own and not care about the money. It really makes me mad that they are touching classic movies just to get money. First of all no one should remake any of Alfred Hitchcock movies because he is a great director and they are classics. Second i can't believe that they will remake Rocky Horror Picture show, that movie is a cult classic with a huge fan base and if they touch it, it will not be the same and also my blood boils at the thought of the remake. They tried to do a squeal to Rocky horror but that failed and they should learn from their mistakes. Third why touch Rosemary’s Baby which is a good movie for the times that it was out, it will not have the same effect on people as it did when it can out. its going to be just another old demonic baby things that it way over done these days. Barbarella i will have to see when it comes out but i own the original and its good, if they make a new one it has to have lost of naked shots to be any thing like the old one. it just makes me sick to hear and see the movies that are going to be remake. leave the classic alone!!!!!!!!!

Comment by MasterOfPointillism on February 15, 2009 at 2:48am - Captain Blood?! I'm still waiting for Captain Alatriste to get to America. In fact I seem to do a lot of waiting, like waiting for someone to actually make a decent sequel to Highlander .......

yea some of these might work, but most of them sound like a trainwreck..most notably anything with Steve Martin and Back to School with Cedric is sadder than a funeral.
Oh and let's not forget about the Karate Kid which most likely will be PG and targeted towards children, sigh.

Comment by Bloodedge on February 10, 2009 at 12:11am - How the fuck do you remake Thirteen(The movie with Nikki Reed) Its not even 10 years old. There's nothing to remake. Its going to get soo badly they'll probably start remaking movies less than 3 years old.
