I won't pay to see it in the theatres but I'll download it. May as well. It I'll probably suck though.

But you know why they're making these shitty remakes.

Because there are sheep that will watch them.

Sadly, there will always be a paying audience for these craptastic remakes and they keep pumping them out, ruining the franchises.

I'm waitin' for the remake of Forest Gump.
Goodrum can be cast as the new Bubba and Coach can be Lt Dan.
Jenny will be played by Booty and DLB can play the young version of Forest's mom.
 Basille can  wear a snazzy wig to play Forest's mom when she's old and ready to croak.

Hmmmm, who will play Forest?


You :)

With very few exceptions ALL remakes are bad. Just newer generation cash-ins is all.

I don't want to play Jenny. You can wear a wig and play the drug taking slut.

The original movie still sends shivers down my spine.

It was the little girl and her voice - "mommy - where are you" - wasn't about special effects at all.

I don't see how they can top it. Maybe they will - but the original was a masterpiece and the sequels were good too.

Oh really? Name one.

John Carpenter's 'The Thing' is a classic.

But I share your opinion, in most cases it's better to just let a classic be instead of trying to refresh it for a new audience.

The new one couldn't compare one bit to Carpenter's Classic.

Thing from Another World was crap compared to Carpenter's version as well, (even though Zeb McCahan played the Thing in it)

The Thing
Insomnia
The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo
The Departed
The Thomas Crown Affair
Of Mice and Men
True Grit
The Maltese Falcon
Scarface
The Vanishing
3:10 to Yuma

Plenty more, I'm sure, but in most cases, the original didn't get it right the first time. That's the difference. If the first was already great, then the remake is just cashing in on younger (impatient/distracted/mindless) viewers.

Vanishing may get an argument from the purists, but Insomnia blows away the original.

Yes, sir, he was fantastic. Also Pacino's last great role. Anyone who hasn't seen it really needs to give it a look. Underrated as fuck.

I thought it was James Arness that played the Thing in the original.

Indeed! And what a fine performance he did!

James/Zebulon at his best.
